Art Week holdovers: Here are some exhibits you can still catch in Miami
Deep inhale, now exhale. Miami Art Week — the chaos, the traffic, the endless event RSVPs — is over.
International fairs like Art Basel Miami Beach, NADA and Untitled are packing up and heading out now that Art Week has come to a close, but that doesn’t mean Miami locals are left without any cool new art to explore. Several art exhibitions, installations and shows that opened for Art Week are still on view for locals to enjoy.
If you’ve been avoiding Miami Beach and Wynwood until the Art Week mayhem died down, now is your time to get back out there. You can (and should) experience art in Miami year-round, especially once the tourists leave.
Here’s our post-Art Week guide to the shows and exhibitions still on view and where to find them:
Collective 62
Collective 62 is an all-female artist studio compound in Liberty City featuring “Flex & Flux,” an exhibition all about text-based art and the fluid meaning of words. Artists include Chantae E. Wright, Katelyn Kopenhaver, Laura Marsh and Genesis Moreno. Email Molly Channon at ma.channon@gmail.com to schedule a free appointment to view the show.
On view until Jan. 9.

Susan Kim Alvarez is making a bold claim with her latest show at KDR Gallery: “The Best Show During Art Basel.” Alvarez draws from her Cuban, Vietnamese and Jewish heritage and sharp sense of humor in her work. In this show, she explores Florida as a place between myth and mundane.
On view until Jan. 10.

Tunnel
Tunnel, an artist-run studio and exhibition space, is offering two new shows. “Smokescreen,” a solo exhibition by Kahlil Robert Irving, features intimate paintings and jet black sculptural work. “Self Portrait with Two Deceased Siblings,” by Connor Dolan, shows off the artist’s unique approach to portraiture.
The (literally) underground art space can be a bit tricky to find. It’s located in the basement parking lot of a Little Havana shopping plaza. If you like what you see, check out the show at Primary (7410 NW Miami Ct.), which features work by four Tunnel artists.
On view until Jan. 3.
300 SW 12th Ave, Miami
Locust Projects
Miami artist and musician Tara Long has transformed Locust Project’s building inside and out for her first major solo show, “La Esquinita.” The nonprofit art space was turned into a whimsical “sweets and souvenirs” shop where guests can purchase mini sculptures and check out the giant tiered cake. The sickly sweet show reflects on sugar and its affects on South Florida’s swamp land and people.
On view until Jan. 17.

The 5x7 black-and-white photos are set in the context of 18 contemporary Black artists including Romare Bearden, David Driskell, Sophia Viktor, Lex Marie and Rorisang Monanabela, all part of a show by Brooklyn’s Bishop Gallery on the fourth floor of Moore Building.
