The Awarehouse Miami

An indoor/outdoor venue in Wynwood. The multimedia event space was designed to house everything from art exhibits and concerts (there’s a stage!) to open-air movies on the lawn.

Charest-Weinberg Gallery Miami

Expect cutting-edge shows at this nascent Wynwood gallery space. The avant-garde exhibits provide easy talking points for novices who come to openings for the free wine.

Imagine Miami

A cheery gift shop in Midtown. An eclectic mix (think vases, bath salts, canvas totes, hand-painted scarves, journals, locally crafted jewelry, candles, chocolate). Most everything is green, fair trade, or handmade. Lovely to browse.

Bakehouse Art Complex Miami

What used to be a bread factory in the ’20s is now a nonprofit art house. Local talent gets low-rent studio space and the public is treated to events in two exhibit spaces.

Soho Studios Miami

Don’t be scared of this venue, but be scared of the neighborhood it’s in. Kidding. Sort of. You’ll find everything from fashion shows to haunted houses inside the unassuming performing space.
