I remember the marketplace, but this new addition is worth the visit. There is so much history that must be preserved and taught. I learned so much. I remembered learning about the different Haitian flags, but seeing them brought history to life for me. They have art displays and exhibits. They have a learning center there too, which is really cool. They have after-school and summer school programs. If you can donate to them. This is a wonderful place for the community and culture, so let's keep supporting. This place is worth visiting

I came to educate myself re Haitian culture and history. It was actually a wet, coldish (for Miami,…read moreie 69!) Winter Sunday - and it was raining, but whatever that's not gonna stop me. The historical building still looks a little jaded. I could only see it from the outside as it was shut, whether the reason was covid or a Sunday I am not sure. Anyway - here is some information I found regarding Haitian history in Miami - fascinating reading. https://www.eater.com/a/mofad-city-guides/miami-haitian-history ------------------------ And here is some information I found regarding the center - "The mission of the City of Miami's Little Haiti Cultural Complex is to present and preserve Afro-Caribbean cultures' inspire the next generation of leaders and leverage arts and culture as tools for transformation and community building." The Little Haiti Cultural Complex provides a large gallery space for local and non-local artists to exhibit, including space for opening receptions and social gatherings. Its Caribbean Marketplace offers authentic Haitian art and crafts for sale, and holds special events in its large 9,000 sq. ft. space. The Caribbean Marketplace is also an official visitor's center for the Greater Miami's Convention and Visitor's Bureau. https://littlehaiticulturalcenter.com/ Little Haiti Cultural Complex 212-260 NE 59th Terrace Miami, FL 33137

I have always been a fan of hi-tech design and modern style. Todays entry into Pan American Art…read moreProjects building space was no different. Immediately I was busy admiring the exposed duct work, metal beams, polished concrete floor and finished look but raw nonetheless. The gallery was recommended to me by a couple people I met at Panther that told me it was a really happening place, but it was as quiet as a library and void of many guests. Surprising since I really enjoyed the art presented on this 2nd Saturday visit. My personal favorite today was a collage that used very small, black & white photographs laid onto large, back wall. Viewing up close, you can make out all the pictures but back up a bit and all the prints start to create a larger mess; back up even more and the prints are laid in such a way that it seems to create a mural of an eye. Other pieces presented were such an array of different medians and styles; something for everyone. Although it felt somewhat like a library (shhh), had no music or ambient noises and furnished no wine or water... I really liked the classy feel and variety of art.

It's easy to find - with the neon "HERE" sign at the entrance, and close to the delicious noms of Joey's. But what a gallery makes are it's exhibits. Seemingly emphasizing on photography, last night's was no exception with installations (pictures? sculptures? paintings?) made of cut-up pieces of both negatives and retro black & white pictures. Place an old lens in the center, and you have an eye symbolic of cameras. Or would it be a camera symbolic of eyes? All in all, another must-see in Wynwood during Second Saturday!

New to this "art space" concept, I was interested in how it was setup. Ron, the owner, invited us…read morein to share his idea. As I ventured into this space I can see art installations along the white wall backdrop. Tall ceilings made this space more spacious. Along the hallway, there were more art displays next to doors of artists. The artists get a room to create as well as wall space to display. The style of each artist was unique, however, complemented the shared white backdrop of this "art space." Great concept! Can't wait for their next event to showcase these talents.

Another piece is made of cookies. You can truly never go hungry here. Bear in mind, in order to access this museum room, one must enter a residential-looking building, climb a short ladder of stairs, and make his way into the room, where one will be greeted by a worker, who will enlighten you with upcoming exhibitions or events in the area. Needless to say, my experience here has been rather short, though insightful.

I have a confession to make...I lied...about being an art fan…read more There's no way I can consider myself a connoisseur of the Miami Art Scene and not have stepped foot inside Dorsch Gallery until tonight! I stopped in tonight for the Bubble Art exhibit I heard on the talk thread, and went beyond the main entry hall. The raw concrete floor, the exposed masonry block work, the nooks, the crannies, the turns just beg for artistic creation. The exhibits tonight ranged from a cot made out of bank deposit bags - perfectly symbolic of the recession - to fluorescent colorful "stacks" and even a Great Pair of Legs on the floor. The coup d'grace is the outside patio where an local band was playing. It is an architectural hodgepodge of a patio slab, grass, and pavers. The patio roof itself is another marvel with two different types of wood framing. Of course, there was the requisite comp bar (which unfortunately I passed on tonight) and also a little picnic table outside. The acoustics weren't that great, but we're not a hoity toity concert hall but at a cool end-of-summer backyard party!

This is a gallery that I had visited several times in its original Wynwood location in order to enjoy exhibits by Jenny Brillhart, a marvelous Miami-based artist for many years who is still represented by Emerson Dorsch. We headed off in the rain to check out Emerson Dorsch's present home in Little Haiti. "Alosúgbe: A Journey Across Time," by Onajide Shabaka is currently on exhibit. Sydney, the director at the gallery that afternoon, was wonderful. She explained the story behind the art. In brief, the artist's work which is represented through photographs and collages, explores the African diaspora based on his many years of research in several Southern states as well as the Caribbean and Suriname. I highly recommend seeing this exhibit which runs through June 22. Indeed, I plan on making more frequent trips to Emerson Dorsch - why not take advantage of the marvelous galleries we are lucky to have here in Miami! Located next to Panther Coffee, there's ample parking everywhere so there's no excuse not to visit!
