Miami’s flagship art museum, Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM), is turning 35 and the museum has announced that it is celebrating on Thursday, February 7 with a Free Community Night: Our Birthday, Your Party.

The South Florida community is invited to celebrate 35 years of art and culture with a special birthday bash on PAMM’s terrace that will feature a live performance by Millionyoung, a DJ set by Ray Milian, figure drawing sessions inspired by a collection of works in The Gift of Art, and much more.

Guests will get a chance to have even more fun and take photos inside of PAMM’s recently unveiled PAMM Portal experience, which allows you to physically step into a colorful, oversized structure that was inspired by PAMM’s 35th anniversary logo design and created by Atmospheric Architect Stefan Von Fouts.

The beautifully artistic acrylic plexiglass structure, which is perfectly positioned to overlook Miami’s Biscayne Bay, is made with dichroic film and changes colors when viewed from different angles and makes for an unforgettable photo opp. On the event day, the PAMM Portal experience will be outfitted to feature an immersive photo booth.

From Center for the Fine Arts (CFA) to Miami Art Museum (MAM) to PAMM, for over three decades the institution has made a lasting impact on the city’s cultural history, helping make Miami the international art capital it is now while serving as inspiration for untold numbers of people across the entire spectrum of the South Florida community.

This event celebrates PAMM’s 35 years of unique history as a collecting institution with an ongoing commitment to diversity, presenting art from Latin America, the U.S. Latinx experience and the Caribbean, while looking toward the African diaspora.
