New Open Call For Art! SaveArtSpace: As Above, So Below Curator: Marlon Pruz Location: Miami, FL Open call ends: October 19, 2026 SaveArtSpace is proud to present As Above, So Below, a public art exhibition on bus shelter ad space during Miami Art Week in Miami, FL, opening November 27, 2026, curated by Marlon Pruz. As Above, So Below explores the idea that the patterns of the universe are reflected within us, and that the inner world is inseparable from the outer one. The theme considers the relationship between the cosmic to the earthly and the microscopic to the infinite. Similar to how electrons orbiting an atomic nucleus mimics the planets orbiting the sun, the golden ratio and other recurring patterns found throughout nature further suggest an underlying order connecting all forms of life. "As curator, I will be looking for work that creates a strong visual or conceptual dialogue between these realms, imagery that connects the body to nature, humanity to the cosmos, consciousness to environment, and the intimate to the infinite." —Marlon Pruz. Artists of all ages and talents are invited to submit their artwork between September 23 and October 19, 2026 in order to be considered for the exhibition. This is an opportunity to have your work placed on bus shelter ad space in Miami, FL, during the biggest art event of the year. Learn more: https://www.saveartspace.org/miami26

(MOAD) Museum of Art and Design at MDC presents Abstraction as Legacy as part of the AMERICA 250 Celebrations

 

Museums throughout the U.S. are honoring America250 with exhibitions and programming that examine the past, present, and future of the United States of America. (MOAD) Museum of Art and Design at MDC makes its own contribution to America250 celebrations with an exhibition titled Abstraction as Legacy. 

This project brings together a group of paintings to reflect on the myriad ways in which American artists have contributed to the field of abstraction. Works by Willem de Kooning and Joan Mitchell speak to abstract expressionism while works by Lloyd Kiva New and George Morrison reinforce ways in which indigenous artists contributed to the history of painterly abstraction in the U.S. 

This show demonstrates that there is no one way to be an American artist just as there is no way be an American. Some artists in the exhibition lived abroad while others were born abroad. Some chose hard edges informed by architecture while others used abstraction to contemplate the natural environment. 

This exhibition includes paintings by Carmen Herrera, Willem de Kooning, Sam Gilliam, Virginia Jaramillo, Joan Mitchell, Young-Il An, George Morrison, Lloyd Kiva New, Vaughn Spann, Zilia Sánchez, Hans Hofmann and Noemí Ruiz.as well as a salon style wall of works on paper from the collection by Karen Rifas, Sol LeWitt, Robert Thiele, Raymond Saunders, Robert Huff, Louise Nevelson, Lynne Golob Gelfman, and Robert Mangold.

SaveArtSpace presents The Extravagance of the Quotidian, a public art exhibition on bus shelter ad space in Miami, FL, opening July 31, 2026, curated by Hermes Berrío.

 

SaveArtSpace is proud to present The Extravagance of the Quotidian, a public art exhibition on bus shelter ad space in Miami, FL, opening July 31, 2026, curated by Hermes Berrío.

What is the most extraordinary thing we walk past every day?

Not everything meaningful arrives with spectacle. Sometimes it’s already there; hanging from a clothesline, sitting on a sidewalk, glowing under fluorescent light at the corner store, carrying the marks of labor, routine, and survival.

The Extravagance of the Quotidian is an invitation to look closer at the everyday and recognize its weight, its beauty, and its contradictions. This open call seeks artists whose work transforms the familiar into something undeniable; where ordinary objects, domestic rituals, street corners, gestures, and fragments of daily life become containers for memory, identity, struggle, humor, and grace.

What we call ordinary is often where life reveals itself most honestly. In public space, these works become interruptions; small monuments to the lives we are living, even when no one is looking.

All artists are invited of all ages and talents to submit their artwork between May 4 and June 15, 2026 in order to be considered for the exhibition. This is an opportunity to have your work placed on bus shelter ad space in Miami, FL.

The application fee is $35 for 1-3 images; each additional image carries a $10 fee. Fees support the production of the exhibition, including the purchase of bus shelter ad space. All fees paid to SaveArtSpace are 100% tax deductible donations. 

Selected artists will be announced after June 29, 2026. Public art will be on view starting July 31, 2026 in Miami, FL, and will be on view for at least one month.

Experience 'Monumentalizing the Trace' at The Frank Pembroke Pines, the first solo exhibition by the collaborative artist duo TREIZMAN + ZURILLA

Monumentalizing the Trace by TREIZMAN + ZURILLA, formed by Miami-based artists Denise Treizman and Julia Zurilla, OPENS on May 14th and is on view at The Frank C. Ortis Art Gallery through August 29, 2026.

Monumentalizing the Trace presents the first solo exhibition by the collaborative artist duo TREIZMAN + ZURILLA, formed by Miami-based artists Denise Treizman and Julia Zurilla, on view at The Frank C. Ortis Art Gallery from May 14 through August 29, 2026. Conceived as a continuous installation that unfolds across the gallery, the exhibition transforms the space into an immersive environment where image, material, and architecture converge. Art lovers and the community are invited to attend the Opening Reception for Monumentalizing the Trace on Thursday, May 14th from 6–9pm at The Frank C. Ortis Art Gallery. This event is free & open to the public, located at 601 City Center Way in Pembroke Pines, Florida 33025.

Working across video, sculpture, and spatial intervention, Treizman and Zurilla construct a dynamic dialogue between analog and digital processes, presence and absence, permanence and impermanence. Familiar elements appear displaced and reconfigured, inviting viewers to reconsider the ways objects, images, and fragments accumulate meaning over time. Rather than presenting the monument as a fixed symbol of permanence, the artists shift attention toward the trace—the fragment, the remainder, the subtle evidence of transformation. In doing so, Monumentalizing the Trace proposes that what endures after change—the residual mark, the fleeting image, the material echo—may itself become a form of monument.

The collaboration between Treizman and Zurilla emerged from a shared interest in tension, contradiction, and material interplay as generative forces. What began as an experimental encounter during Stile Tale at Satellite Art Show in 2023 has evolved into an ongoing artistic investigation into how two distinct practices can remain intact while producing a shared visual language. Their work embraces paradox as a creative engine, placing opposites in productive relation: material and immaterial, analog and digital, fragility and structure, excess and restraint.

This investigation has taken form in immersive installations such as Coincidentia Oppositorum (2023), DREAMCATCHER (infinity loop) (2024), and Luminous Vacancy (2025). Through these environments, TREIZMAN + ZURILLA approach collaboration not as fusion, but as a dynamic space where difference becomes the catalyst for new aesthetic and conceptual territories.

Denise Treizman (Santiago, Chile) is a Miami-based artist whose practice combines repurposed materials, handcrafted elements, and remnants of mass consumption to create immersive sculptural installations. Her work explores systems of accumulation, transformation, and material memory. Treizman has presented solo exhibitions at institutions including the Wiregrass Museum of Art, Coral Springs Museum of Art, and Tiger Strikes Asteroid Chicago, and has participated in group exhibitions throughout the United States and internationally. She has completed residencies at the Elizabeth Foundation for the Arts, MASS MoCA, and NARS Foundation, among others. Recent recognitions include the South Florida Cultural Consortium Award (2024), the Oolite Arts Ellies Creator Award (2025), and the No Vacancy Public Art Award (2025). She holds an MFA from the School of Visual Arts and is a resident artist at Laundromat Art Space in Miami.

Julia Zurilla (Caracas, Venezuela) is a Miami-based multidisciplinary artist whose work explores themes of memory, displacement, and belonging. Working with 8 mm film, digital video, photography, and generative text, she constructs fragmented narratives that move fluidly between analog and digital worlds. Zurilla has received several awards, including The Ellies Cinematic Award (2025), the Green Space Miami Open Call Award (2025), and the No Vacancy Public Art Award (2024). Her work has been exhibited internationally at institutions including Galería de Arte Nacional (Venezuela), MAC Lima (Peru), Coral Gables Museum, CIFO Miami, and Americas Society in New York, and is held in several private and institutional collections. She holds a BFA and MFA from IUESAPAR and is a resident artist at Laundromat Art Space.

Discover Art Exhibitions on view at the Bakehouse Art Complex: featuring Artists Luján Candria & Sterling Rook

Explore current exhibitions on view at The Bakehouse Art Complex in Wynwood, featuring two artists with compelling solo exhibitions currently on view in Miami— each engaging memory, material, and personal history in distinct and fruitful ways: Luján Candria & Sterling Rook.

Luján Candria

Miami-based Argentine artist Luján Candria works across a wide range of media to create introspective works that explore memory, reminiscence, and oblivion. Luján often uses the repetition and juxtaposition of images to create intimate and poetic narratives imbued with nostalgia.

Luján has been a resident artist at Bakehouse since 2021. To experience more of her work, visit her studio here at Bakehouse, or see Still More Fragile, her solo exhibition currently on view at Faena Art through May 3.

Sterling Rook

Miami-based artist Sterling Rook works across sculpture and fiber, using materials such as forged steel, handmade rope, and organic elements to explore ancestry, craft, and material memory. Drawing from a lineage of textile and fiber traditions on both sides of his family, Rook approaches art-making as both a generative and regenerative process, connecting personal and cultural histories across time.

Sterling currently has work on view at Tunnel Projects as part of his solo exhibition Shupingagua, on view through Saturday, April 25. Don't miss this last opportunity to experience the exhibition!
