Red Bar Gallery Miami

The drinks are strong and cheap, the crowd is buzzed, and the space doubles as an art gallery. Check out the paintings during the post-work happy hour or go late when things get dark and smoky.

Pinkghost Miami

The toy store-cum-art gallery sells quirkiness in the form of vinyl toys, figurines, posters, and books. Show openings are worth the trip up north.

O.H.W.O.W. Miami

The name stands for Our House West of Wynwood. What does it house? All things hip. It’s a gallery space/publishing company/screening room. Buy one of their cutting-edge art glossies or go for an opening.

ArtCenter/South Florida Miami

The gallery space makes art accessible. No, the work isn’t simple, silly. But entry is free, the location is Lincoln Road, and the vibe is welcoming. Scour up-and-coming artists at this Miami institution.

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.
