With Miami’s brief winter just about over, we’re starting to see the rumblings of a long, hot summer punctuated by several major sporting events. The Pérez Art Museum Miami is gearing up for the World Cup and the return of the Miami Grand Prix with an exhibition that explores the intersection of sports and art. And while other local museums have yet to open their summer season shows, the gallery sector is full of interesting solo shows, photography-focused presentations, and lots of supplemental programming. Here are some of the best art shows to see in Miami this month.
All presentations are listed in the order in which they opened. Unless otherwise noted, events are free to attend and open to the public.
