Exploring Miami Beach's Artistic Side

Miami Beach is seven miles of white sand nestled against a dynamic city filled with beautiful art, architecture, and some of the most iconic luxury hotels. 

The southern end, South Beach, is known for its early-20th-century architecture in the Art Deco Historic district with pastel-colored buildings, especially on Ocean Drive.

Art lovers can sample the best of local arts and culture in Miami Beach, especially during the monthly Miami Beach Culture Crawl. This free event organized by the City of Miami Beach takes place monthly on the third Thursday (through May 15th), from 6 - 9 PM. 

Art aficionados can experience something different every month, as local cultural institutions stay open late with new and unique offerings. 

Oolite Arts and Miami Beach Urban Studios, prominent galleries on Lincoln Road, release their newest exhibitions on Culture Crawl nights, as well as host art talks, workshops, and other unique programming. 

Museums such as The Wolfsonian-FIU and the Jewish Museum of Florida – FIU often reveal new art and sculpture exhibitions, as well as offer educational workshops such as print-making. 

The Bass museum’s interactive public art exhibition, “Art Outside,” includes sculptures, sound, and video throughout Collins Park and Miami Beach. 

Visit Miami Beach Botanical Garden to enjoy yoga in the garden, lively musical performances, and outdoor art exhibitions. 

The Miami Design Preservation League offers special walking tours that showcase Miami Beach’s rich Art Deco history. 

The easiest way to get around Miami Beach is to walk or bike, and The Alexander guests can cruise along Miami Beach in style on bicycles provided at the Front Desk.
