Miami– The Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau’s (GMCVB) Art of Black Miami (AOBM) program enters it eleventh year with a vibrant lineup of events that help define how the organization continues to stretch boundaries in creating initiatives that elevate art and artists as cultural storytellers shaping artistic expression in Greater Miami and Miami Beach that captivates visitors and residents year-round.

“During Art Basel Miami Beach and Miami Art Week, AOBM events and initiatives elevate local voices as art organizations, galleries and spaces in neighborhoods including Historic Overtown, Little Haiti, Little Havana, Opa-locka, Miami Gardens, Downtown Miami and beyond attract global attention and shine a light on our destination’s vibrant arts and cultural offerings,” said GMCVB Senior Vice President of Multicultural Tourism & Development Connie Kinnard.

AOBM celebrates all genres of the visual arts. At a busy crossroad in Miami’s Coconut Grove, the majestic “Yellow Elder” sculpture doesn’t just stop traffic — it stops you. It’s a bold indicator of a neighborhood shaped by history and driven by reinvention and is now a catalyst for the GMCVB to sell the cultural appeal of its diverse communities. “Yellow Elder” by Asser Saint-Val for example was the first sculpture featured in the program to win the annual Art of Black Miami cover competition for M.I.A. Magazine. Asser Saint-Val works will be featured at the What’s in Your Container exhibition organized by the Diaspora Vibe Cultural Arts Incubator at Barry University.

Other AOBM art forms include painting, ceramics, photography, animation, film and printmaking. The spectrum of artistic events will showcase the diverse heritage of Greater Miami and Miami Beach, brought to life via exhibitions, engaging artist dialogues, captivating films, digital and interactive showcases, awe-inspiring performances, delectable culinary experiences and much more.
