As Miami prepares for its annual Art Week, the Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau (GMCVB)\u00a0has unveiled the 2025 lineup for its flagship Art of Black Miami (AOBM)\u00a0program. Now in its 11th year, AOBM has evolved into a year-round cultural initiative that drives tourism, supports local businesses, and amplifies the voices of Black and Afro-Latino artists across Greater Miami and Miami Beach.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDuring 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\u2019s vibrant arts and cultural offerings,\u201d said GMCVB Senior Vice President of Multicultural Tourism & Development Connie Kinnard.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
The initiative celebrates all genres of visual art, from painting, printmaking and ceramics to photography, animation and film, while also embracing performance, culinary experiences, and interactive showcases. One example is the \u201cYellow Elder\u201d sculpture by Asser Saint-Val, which has become a symbol of Coconut Grove\u2019s cultural reinvention and was the first AOBM piece to win the annual cover competition for\u00a0M.I.A. Magazine. Saint-Val\u2019s work will be featured in the\u00a0What\u2019s in Your Container\u00a0exhibition at Barry University, organized by the Diaspora Vibe Cultural Arts Incubator.\u00a0<\/p>\n
