Spectrum Miami, a juried contemporary art show, taking place Wednesday, December 2 to Sunday, December 6 during Miami Art Week, moves to a new location (1700 NE 2nd Ave., Miami, FL 33132), in Miami’s Performing Arts District, co-locating with Red Dot Art Fair. As part of Redwood Media Group, Spectrum Miami is more than an art show—it’s a five-day fine art experience featuring top galleries and artists from across the U.S. and around the world, along with live performances, curated projects, and late night parties.
“We are excited to announce our new location, only a few blocks from our previous location, actually just on the border of the Wynwood District, and that we will be on the same lot as Red Dot Art Fair,” said Eric Smith, president of Redwood Media Group. “Spectrum Miami will still truly have everything—a full spectrum of artwork from galleries and studios featuring career artists, as well as exciting events and special programming—just in a new location. Plus, with our relocation, there will now be onsite parking available for exhibitors and attendees, and it’s only a short walk from our headquarter hotel, the Miami Marriott Biscayne Bay. Also, VIP and General Admission tickets will be honored at both Spectrum Miami and Red Dot—definitely a top destination during Miami Art Week.”
“We’re thrilled to be partnering with Spectrum Miami in this new location,” said George Billis, Director of Red Dot Art Fair. “Red Dot Art Fair will be hosting galleries specializing in emerging, mid-career, and established artists alongside Spectrum Miami. It will be a can’t-miss Miami Art Week destination with an amazing breadth of art, events, and programming. Our new location in the Performing Arts District has ample onsite parking as well as accessibility to South Beach via the I395 MacArthur and Venetian Causeways. Additionally, the new location is within walking distance from major hotels, the Perez Museum, and the Omni Station on the Metromover.”
The theme for Spectrum Miami 2015 is [EMERGENCE]—Innovative Vision Coming to Life. Spectrum Miami features specially curated programs that are informed by the theme, includingsite-specific projects, art talks, and panel discussions; a selection of dynamic and cutting-edge film, video, and new media works; and a curated selection of emerging and spotlight artists. These programs provide a dynamic experience for attendees, allowing them to view and interact with works by leading international artists, experience the work of those artists outside of museum walls, and enjoy exhibitions that showcase the thriving art landscape of Miami.
This year the special exhibition is ARTE Cuba. Curated by Stacy Conde, an established gallerist specializing in Cuban art, ARTE Cuba will present a carefully curated group of Cuban modern, contemporary, and cutting-edge art represented by galleries, art dealers, and the artists themselves. She is excited to bring Cuban art and artists into the spotlight during this exciting time of change between the United States and Cuba.
Spectrum Miami will also once again host ArtSpot International—a show within a show—curated by director Aldo Castillo, one of the most respected authorities on modern and contemporary art. ArtSpot will present carefully selected modern, contemporary, and cutting-edge galleries with a strong Latin-American slant that specialize in painting, photography, sculpture, mixed media, and ceramics. “For ArtSpot International,” Castillo emphasized, “this is an exciting development and a wonderful new location. This is truly a must-see destination for collectors and art aficionados during Miami Art Week.”
