A celebration of Mexican contemporary and pop art by artists Jorge Marin, Jesus Lima, Neon Caron, Alvaro Cuevas, Gabriela Montano, and Romero Britto of Brazil and Carlos Luna of Cuba.
Who says all the art is on the beach?
Well, it’s not. On the mainland, nothing screams the beginning of season like the white art tens going up in Midtown. If Wynwood is calling your name, HIVE is literally abuzz with street art and pop up installations. In downtown, the unique Jimmy’s Thrift has opened shop, and Brickell City Centre is getting in on the action with the girl power collection, Fair. (including Yoko Ono’s traveling “Wish Tree”).
