MIAMI – Art Wynwood, presented by Art Miami, is set to make its mark with its 11th edition this year. The event kicks off with an exclusive invitation-only VIP Preview on Wednesday, February 14, benefiting The Bass Museum, and opens to the public from Thursday, February 15 to Sunday, February 18, at One Herald Plaza.
Art Wynwood 2024 emerges as an unparalleled opportunity for collectors and art lovers alike to acquire some of the most significant artworks from the 20th and 21st centuries. With over 50 galleries from around the world, representing countries such as England, Italy, the Dominican Republic, Canada, Switzerland, France, Belgium, Germany, Spain, the United Kingdom, Venezuela, Austria, and across the United States, the fair will display a diverse range of murals, pop surrealism, street art, and other contemporary artworks.
In a special highlight, Art Wynwood will honor Peter Tunney with the prestigious Art Wynwood Lifetime Artistic Achievement Award. Tunney, a true creative force, has shared positive messages in unconventional ways and delivered art to collectors worldwide for over 30 years. Working across various mediums, including paint, collage, wood, photography, found objects, and discarded materials, Tunney draws inspiration from his nontraditional life, extraordinary experiences, and countless wild adventures. Beyond his existing Tribeca location, Tunney has operated a gallery in the vibrant Wynwood Walls of Miami for the past eight years. Presented during an elegant four-course dinner, the Lifetime Artistic Achievement Award acknowledges individuals in art whose careers have changed the industry. Previous award recipients include Mel Ramos, Martha Cooper, Shepard Fairey, Logan Hicks, Ron English and Risk. Limited Tickets available here.
“Each year, Art Wynwood draws in influential collectors, curators, art consultants, designers, and art enthusiasts from across the globe,” notes Julian Navarro, Director of Art Wynwood. “The much-anticipated 2024 edition of Art Wynwood presents an engaging blend of both emerging and well-established contemporary galleries, along with exciting special projects and solo exhibitions.”
Silvia Karman Cubiñá, Executive Director/Chief Curator for The Bass Museum expresses excitement for the museum’s partnership with the leading winter art fair: “Art Wynwood is a vibrant space for art enthusiasts, collectors and visitors to explore international emerging artists and discover and acquire new works, further positioning Miami as a global center for contemporary art.”
