Miami Art Week 2023 is almost here! Next week, we’ll welcome the global art community and our local neighbors to our city’s largest annual celebration of art and culture. As you’re working on your Miami Art Week plans, check out the list below to see where you can find the YoungArts community.

Desde el Charco featuring works by Isabella Mellado

In their solo exhibition, Desde el CharcoIsabella Mellado (2014 Visual Arts) invites viewers into their journey of discovery and self-actualization. Through paintings and photographs framed with symbolism found in folklore, mythology, tarot, astrology and even quotidian life in Puerto Rico, Mellado explores the sense of duality that is inherent to being a queer Puerto Rican of the diaspora.

Listening Session: Rest Within the Wake by James Allister Sprang

Acclaimed multimedia artist and YoungArts Artist Fellow James Allister Sprang’s “sensory audiovisual poem for the spirit,” Rest Within the Wake, makes its South Florida debut at YoungArts during Miami Art Week 2023. Sprang (2008 Visual Arts) describes the 50-minute listening session as “an opportunity to turn away from the frantic pace of the modern world and tune in to your body, your ancestors, your traumas, your pain, your longings, visions and dreams.”

Autofiction featuring works by Laurie Simmons

Autofiction, featuring new work by artist, photographer and filmmaker Laurie Simmons, will be on display at the YoungArts Jewel Box. Autofiction offers some familiar themes from Simmons’ established aesthetic, while recognizing her as one of the first artists to seriously embrace the opportunities arising from Artificial Intelligence (AI). Inspired by the release of ChatGPT in 2022, and using the DALL-E algorithm to reconstrue, reconstruct and reimagine some of the artist’s earlier series, the exhibition presents her oeuvre in a new light, reinforcing the artist’s long-held desire to push the boundaries of traditional image making.
