Art Week 2019

It’s that time of year when Miami Beach becomes the center of the art world. If you don’t want to leave the Beach, there’s plenty to see and do right here.
 

Order of Importance

Monumental temporary installation on the beach at the end of Lincoln Road by Argentinian conceptual artist Leandro Erlich.
Open December 1 – 15, Free to the public
 
Walk amidst a surreal traffic jam… without having to sit in one! This exhibit (rendering above) will “recast the 21st century traffic jam” through 66 life-sized sand sculptures of cars and trucks which will be left to naturally degrade over the 15-day exhibition period.
 
According to the City’s announcement, it will be the largest work produced by the artist to date. It was commissioned by the City of Miami Beach and marks the City’s first-ever temporary public art project.
