ART
January 15; recurring every third Thursday of the month – Lincoln Road Art Walk
Join art lovers beyond Art Week for a monthly Art Walk that showcases the district’s arts and cultural presence. Aligning with the City of Miami Beach’s popular Culture Crawl, participating galleries activate their spaces with new exhibitions, artist meet and greets, giveaways and more. Guests will find enhanced wayfinding across the promenade, including postcard maps, QR codes and signage outside each gallery, to help guide their experience. Current art includes:
Chocolate Girl
From Ignacio Gana, a Miami-based Chilean sculptor whose work is figurative and sensually elegant, this sculpture—recently debuted during Miami Art Week 2025—is an ode to womanhood and beauty born from freedom where gold is a symbol of living intensely.
Mr. Pink Takes Flight
Philippe Katerine presents a series of inflatable sculptures in public spaces, all featuring “Monsieur Rose” (Mr. Pink). The monumental icon of Mignonisme can be found perched on rooftops around Lincoln Road. These characters transform Lincoln Road into playful places and our daily travels into delightful, colourful journeys.
Empower Flower – White Lotus and Dream Machine
Inspired by a White Lotus, Ruben Robierb’s fourth monumental, public sculpture, naturally extends his exploration of universal symbols of resilience, transformation and strength. Through sweeping, fluid lines and monumental scale, Empower Flower translates this sacred emblem into a contemporary icon.
La Herencia Viva
Selected from over 75 global submissions as part of Lincoln Road’s inaugural 2025 Call to Artists, Oscar Esteban Martinez presents his sculpture installation as a profound meditation on identity and community, featuring a fragmented human face composed of interlocking puzzle-like segments.
Gillie and Marc
Renowned British and Australian artistic duo Gillie and Marc have dedicated their creative endeavors to raising awareness and celebrating the beauty of wildlife. Multiple of their striking sculptures have turned Lincoln Road into a vibrant wildlife-inspired art walk, including “Wild Couch Party,” “Watch Out for Paparazzi Dog & Rabbit,” “The Giraffe and Chimpanzee Were on a Wild Ride to a Safer Place with Rabbitwoman and Dogman” and “The White Rhino Bench of Friendship.”
COMMUNITY EVENTS
