Best Arts and Culture Places in Westview

"Showcasing the best contemporary art of the 20th and 21st centuries while also reflecting the multitude of nationalities that call Miami home – that’s the aim of the Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM). The Pérez Art Museum is an absolute staple in modern art in the US alone, providing a deeply visceral experience through sight, sound and touch. Since 2016, it’s estimated that over 2,000 works live in the PAMM’s permanent collection."

"Miami is known for its art, and this collection of contemporary works, Miami’s flagship art museum, is a must-visit. In addition to its rotating exhibits, the museum is home to the Caribbean Cultural Institute, which promotes the arts and culture of the Caribbean. 1103 Biscayne Blvd, Miami | 305.375.5662 l Distance from Hotel: 5.6 miles"

"Show off your artsy side by posing with one of the awesome art installations inside the Pérez Art Museum or capture its hanging garden and lush garden for some urban-tropical vibes."

"One of the most photographed locations in Miami, Wynwood Walls is a collection of murals and paintings laid out over an open courtyard. Artist-led tours are available, but it’s free to simply explore on your own. What invariably bowls people over is the sheer exuberant colors and commanding presence of the murals, which only tend to be around for less than a year before they are painted over."

"2520 NW 2nd Ave, This is also a huge stop for Instagrammers!. This neighborhood showcases vibrant and colorful murals on the walls of many of the buildings. Get lost in the art and stay for the great restaurants and shopping."

"These are just some of the artists whose work can be found in the impressive collection at the Institute of Contemporary Art–"a space committed to the advancement of 20th and 21st-century art in Miami and beyond. The ICA three-story building features numerous rotating exhibitions, complete with an outdoor sculpture garden. But what sets the ICA apart (aside from their free admission, which is huge for a Miami museum to offer) are their public programs–"which are also free to the community. From lectures to symposiums, panel discussions to film screenings, plus multiple educational youth programs, the ICA truly is a space where all artistic thought is welcomed and nurtured. Recommended for Free Things to Do because: Free museum tours are held on Sundays and are the perfect way to spend an afternoon learning about history and architecture."

"An excellent contemporary arts museum, the ICA sits in the midst of the Design District, and hosts a fantastic range of contemporary exhibitions alongside its permanent collection pieces. The building, designed..."

"One of the first arts organisations to open in Miami's Wynwood neighbourhood – which has gone from being almost derelict to a thriving arts and design hub, the non-profit Locus Projects(pictured above) is a mainstay of the local art scene. Founded in 1998 by the Miami-based artists Elizabeth Withstandley, Westen Charles and COOPER (the always all-caps artist name of sculptor Brian Cooper) the space invites local, national and international artists to create site-specific installations. Exhibitors have included New York-based sculptor Nancy Davidson, a video installation by Los Angeles-based artist Fern Vargas Vargas, and an immersive experience by Laura Marsh."

"Art is for all and with the same mission in mind, in 1998, three renowned artists namely Western Charles, Cooper, and Elizabeth Withstandley together created the non-profit art exhibition space in Miami the Locust Projects. Located just north of Wynwood, the Locust Projects showcase an array of contemporary art mingled with experimentation, bringing in the front the raw talents of exceptional visual artists. Inviting national and international artists, this longest-running non-profit art space also curates summer public programs, summer art intensives, and grants to local artists."

"I had the French toast and fried chicken and it truly will feed 2 people. I took a star away because the &..."

"Located north of Downtown Miami, Veza Sur Brewing Co. stays true to its Latin-American roots, right in the creative Wynwood neighborhood. Veza Sur doesn’t disappoint with creativity either. Recently, they dropped a coffee porter slushy with Twix bars on top."

"Bars Breweries Wynwood. Happy hour: Yes, $2 chopp Mon–Fri, 4–7pm. Standout beer: The Michelada"

"Review: Friendly servers, fun atmosphere, flavorful flights of beers. Dogfish Head Miami opened its doors when Concrete Beach Brewery closed its social hall. This vibrant and creative brewery has a cult following in Delaware (and you can join their Off-Centered Society, a rewards program that’s kind of like a secret society!)."

"This speakeasy-inspired bar in Coral Gables looks to classic New Orleans watering holes for inspiration. When you walk through the nondescript door, you'll find a lounge area with red leather couches. The space opens to the main room, resplendent with a mahogany bar lined with leather-upholstered stools."

"When you’re dreaming of Miami, you're dreaming of Lummus Park Beach, a postcard-perfect spot surrounded by historic art deco buildings, high-end hotels, a winding beachfront walkway, and bronzed athletes playing volleyball games on the sandy courts. This beach is full of action and a favorite among tourists looking for the full Miami experience (Muscle Beach and frozen margaritas included). At the heart of Lummus Park, find Miami Beach's LGBTQ+ beach located at the intersection of 12th street, a hotspot during Miami Beach Pride and identifiable year-round by the rainbow flags at each lifeguard station."

"Otherwise, drop off your bike along Ocean Drive and grab a spot on the beach, Lummus Beach, which runs from around 6th to 14th streets. This is a beach for locals and tourists alike, and the spread of humanity—supermodels, families and even topless tanners—make this a go-to spot for people-watching."

"For a more chilled beach day option, head to North Beach Oceanside Park, a serene destination, out of the way of the hustle and bustle of Miami Beach’s hotels and restaurants. Pack your cooler to the brim, bring a Pub sub, and take in the blissful scene of the Atlantic Ocean. The park also features shaded walking trails, a bike path, and a dog park and playground to entertain the kids and fur babies."
