Get in the Game: Sports, Art, Culture explores the dynamic interplay between athletic performance and artistic expression. Coinciding with major international sporting events taking place in Miami—the Miami Open, the Formula 1 Grand Prix, and the FIFA World Cup, the exhibition positions Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM) as a site where global audiences converge to reflect on the cultural impact of sport. In a city shaped by exchange and diversity, the exhibition underscores how games and competitions create common ground across traditions, identities, and rivalries.

Featuring more than 100 works by artists from around the world—including highlights from PAMM’s collection—Get in the Game demonstrates how sport has inspired both personal expression and shared cultural memory. Visitors encounter Ernie Barnes’s soulful depictions of neighborhood basketball games, Douglas Gordon and Philippe Parreno’s cinematic meditation that follows French soccer star Zinedine Zidane’s in real time over the course of a match, and Tara Mateik’s reenactment of the historic 1973 “Battle of the Sexes” tennis match between Billie Jean King and Bobby Riggs. Artworks are presented alongside historic sports memorabilia—from 1970s Nike sneakers to original McLaren Racing steering wheels—revealing the intertwined histories of creativity, athleticism, and spectacle.

Ultimately, Get in the Game honors the resilience, energy, and imagination that define sports culture, while inviting visitors to consider how art reframes these themes across time and place. Immersive installations extend the experience beyond the visual, encouraging audiences to step into the arena.

Presented artists are Virgil Abloh, Michael Alvarez, Emma Amos, Alexandre Arrechea, Ernie Barnes, Álvaro Barrington, Lyndon Barrois Sr., Holly Bass, Kevin Beasley, Willie Birch, Andrea Bowers, Mark Bradford, Thom Browne, Reggie Burrows Hodges, Miguel Calderón, Alejandra Carles-Tolrá, Ryan James Caruthers, Karla Diaz, Omar Victor Diop, Rosalyn Drexler, Celeste Dupuy-Spencer, Buck Ellison, Cara Erskine, Kota Ezawa, Derek Fordjour, Samuel Fosso, Sam Frésquez, Douglas Gordon and Philippe Parreno, Daniel Green, Chase Hall, Sko Habibi (Jaško Begović), Hugh Hayden, Danny Hess, Mark Igloliorte, Carling Jackson, Cameron Jamie, Brian Jungen, Titus Kaphar, Martin Kazanietz, Savanah Leaf, Cary Leibowitz, Shaun Leonardo, Nelson Leirner, Jerome Liebling, Glenn Ligon and Byron Kim, Radmila Lolly, Roberto Lugo, Louis Vuitton Malletier, Katrina Majkut, Tara Mateik, Sam McKinniss, Julie Mehretu, Lee Moriarty, LeRoy Neiman, Thenjiwe Niki Nkosi, Betsy Odom, Catherine Opie, Gabriel Orozco, Grace Rosario Perkins, Paul Pfeiffer, Cheryl Pope, Ronny Quevedo, Deborah Roberts, Sheena Rose, Ben Sakoguchi, Ivan Salcido, William Scott, Joan Semmel, Jean Shin, Yinka Shonibare, Gary Simmons, Tabitha Soren, Ashley Teamer, Felandus Thames, Hank Willis Thomas, and Jake Troyli.

Public Art in the Miami Design District | Katie Stout: Gargantua’s Thumb

 

A Must-See in the Miami Design District, Katie Stout: Gargantua’s Thumb - located throughout the neighborhood, Miami, Florida 33137. Celebrating the 10th anniversary of Miami Design District’s Annual Design Commission, Katie Stout transforms the neighborhood with “Gargantua’s Thumb”, a series of sculptural benches that merge function, fantasy, and play. Stout brings a fantastical cast of furniture to life, including a dog and whale-shaped bench. Each piece begins as a small, hand-sculpted clay animal that is later digitally scanned and enlarged, encouraging people to rest, explore, and engage with their surroundings. Suspended from the trees, clusters of colorful orbs inspired by flora and fauna motifs transform the streets into a whimsical world of motion and wonder.

City of Miami Beach Art in Public Places Program Honors Women’s History Month with Unveiling of Christina Pettersson’s She Spoke for the Birds

The City expands its celebrated public art collection with a new permanent mural exploring South Florida Everglades

Today, the City of Miami Beach is pleased to announce the unveiling of She Spoke for the Birds, a new permanent mural by Christina Pettersson honoring Marjory Stoneman Douglas at her namesake park. Selected by the Art in Public Places Committee (AIPP), the work commemorates Douglas’s enduring contributions to South Florida and her lifelong advocacy for the Everglades.

The unveiling will take place at 10 a.m. on Sunday, March 8, 2026, at Marjory Stoneman Douglas Park. The event will include guests from Friends of the Everglades — the organization Douglas founded — as well as members of the Miami Beach Commission for Women.

She Spoke for the Birds is the first of two permanent works by a woman artist to be installed by the City’s AIPP Program during Women’s History Month. It will be followed by the unveiling of BirdHouse, a major new sculpture by Michele Oka Doner in Bayshore Park.

“Miami Beach continues to lead the way in public art. We celebrate the unveiling of this mural during Women's History Month in a park that honors the legacy of Marjory Stoneman Douglas through the vision of another talented woman artist, Christina Pettersson,” said Miami Beach Mayor Steven Meiner.

Installed on the exterior wall of one of the park’s facilities and composed of concrete vinyl, the mural depicts Douglas immersed in the Florida Everglades — the habitat she spent her life protecting. A Miami native, Pettersson has spent decades exploring the Everglades, and her multidisciplinary practice examines Florida’s hidden histories and endangered landscapes.

Rooted in public engagement and collaboration, her work invites audiences to connect more deeply with the natural and cultural narratives of their own communities.

“It has been an honor to create this mural celebrating Marjory Stoneman Douglas, whose life’s work made it possible for generations to experience the Everglades,” said Christina Pettersson. “I am thrilled to unveil this mural to the Miami Beach community and see it integrated into a site of play, nature, and wonder for people of all ages.”

With She Spoke for the Birds, Pettersson joins the AIPP’s distinguished permanent public art collection, which includes works by artists including, Franz Ackermann, Farah Al Qasimi, Sanford Biggers, Amoako Boafo, Elmgreen & Dragset, Anneke Eussen, FriendsWithYou, Bill Fontana, Ximena Garrido-Lecca, Dan Graham, Ellen Harvey, Joseph Kosuth, Roy Lichtenstein, Sarah Morris, Ebony G. Patterson, Jaume Plensa, Tobias Rehberger, Nina Surel, Juana Valdés, Joep van Lieshout and Wendy Wischer.

Last chance to view 'Addison Wolff: At the Baths' at NSU Art Museum in Fort Lauderdale | Closes March 22, 2026

 

Addison Wolff: At the Baths

September 21, 2025, through March 22, 2026

At the Baths marks the debut solo museum presentation of South Florida artist Addison Wolff (b. 1987, Winter Park, FL; lives and works in Fort Lauderdale) at NSU Art Museum. Wolff’s practice centers on his use of synthetic polymer paints on bisque-fired ceramics, with which he creates layered, hybrid works that merge sculpture and painting, inviting reflection on the human impulse for definition and the process of identity formation. For this presentation, Wolff’s abstract ceramic vessels will be presented within a site-specific installation inspired by communal bathhouse architecture. The exhibition draws from classical references such as the ancient Greek fresco, The Tomb of the Diver, and invites consideration of the contemporary manifestation of bathhouses. As Wolff challenges the traditional boundaries of material and meaning, the exhibition highlights the boundless potential of abstraction as a form of personal and collective expression.

At the Baths is organized by Ariella Wolens, Bryant-Taylor Curator.
