AIRIE Art Week 2023

Miami Art Week Guide

For Miami Art Week 2023, AIRIE and Commissioner shared a collaborative Miami Art Week Guide that showcased our vibrant local creative community featuring events organized by our current and past Fellows! The Art Week Guide is curated with care by Commissioner, ArtSeen365, and independent curator and past AIRIE Fellow, Heike Dempster.

This guide is the collective work of artists, arts workers, curators, galleries, educators and art lovers around the world opening up their worlds and welcoming you to experience Miami Art Week. It mostly highlights the work of local artists, organizations and spaces, and highlights Commissioner, Artists in Residence in Everglades (AIRIE) and YoungArts alumnx to look out for.

AIRIE Art Week Events

For Art Week, AIRIE participated in Knight Foundation's Catalyst 2023, the inaugural Knight Arts forum. Presented by AIRIE was "Passages," 2022, directed by Cornelius Tulloch, with performances by Arsimmer McCoy and Kunya Rowley with video by Alexa Caravia and Justin Matousek.

In the midst of rapid digital transformation, artists and arts organizations are harnessing technology to expand horizons, foster connections, and redefine boundaries. At Catalyst, the Knight Foundation is gathering leaders at the forefront of innovation to consider the implications of digital transformation in the arts through the lenses of sustainability, ethics, and exploration.

On December 9th at Green Space Miami, AIRIE held an activation of Sydney Maubert's second iteration of "Queen of the Swamp." For Green Space Miami's exhibition "DISplace," this activation featured music by DJ Pressure Point and a performance by poet and AIRIE Residency Coordinator Arsimmer McCoy.

"Queen of the Swamp," first debuted in AIRIE's Nest Gallery in Everglades National Park, acknowledges Miami's Bahamian history and its vital ties to a larger cultural geography of Southern and Indigenous aesthetics. It draws upon Miami's history of Bahamian laborers' construction of Miami's infrastructure on porous rock, and their present descendants' influence on Miami Bass culture.

AIRIE Art Week 2022

On December 2, AIRIE brought the Everglades to the excitement of Miami Art Week at the inaugural AIRIE Art + Environment Summit. The series of conversations and an immersive installation focused on how artists are engaging diverse audiences in environmental issues and making the outdoors a space of belonging for all.
