‘Miami Says ART’ Connects the Past and Present

Art Basel has transformed Miami into one of the art centers of the world. And, as you might imagine, the art community in 1976 was very different from today's.

Thirty-five years later, some of the city's early influencers and cultural leaders are being reunited for a retrospective by visionary artist Martin Kreloff for "Miami Says ART." Presented by the JW Marriott Hotel Miami in Brickell, the retrospective runs Dec, 3-9, ushering in the city's Art Basel week. 

The exhibition also features the launch of “Miami Says Art-2,” featuring an online, modern-day cultural time capsule that will honor Miami’s New World School of the Arts. 

If you go: The exhibition will feature portraits from the exhibit and a multimedia documentary with photos and video from 1976, and is open to the public between the hours of 10 a.m. and 8 p.m. For more info check out the Miami Says ART Facebook page.
