I was recently in Miami and stopped in to visit Fredric Snitzer's new 3,500 sq. ft. gallery space in the Wynwood section of downtown Miami - 2247 NW 1st Place. Although off the beaten track (but located near the Rubell Family Art Collection which opens to the public, again, after a major renovation and addition in December, 2004) this is a "must see" gallery if you are in Miami and interested in contemporary art.
Up now is Lock Stock and Barrel a group show of Miami based artists, including Hernan Bas, Jos Bedia, Cooper, Naomi Fisher, Westen Charles, Robert Chambers, Bhakti Baxter, Robert Chambers, Adler Guerrier, Jacin Giordano, Lynne Golob-Gelfman, Jiae Hwang, Maria Martinez-Caas, Gean Moreno, Norberto Rodriguez, and Mette Tommerup. The show runs through June 30. My pick of the show are paintings by Jacin Giordano, priced between $800 - $3,500. Here's one of his gorgeous, textured, and sculpted larger works (roughly 4' x 2'):
Just for fun, and because you know I love them, here's a shot of Fredric Snitzer's very large and accessible "back room":
Thanks for covering Miami. The show hasn't opened yet(open reception is saturday). Miami's art scene is hot even in the summer!

Paige:
I am so happy your site is taking off! The minute I discovered Art Addict - well, I knew the whole endeavour would be a fantastic ns stimulating resource.
For a while, and I kept off emailing you about this, due to modesty or awe or whatever - but do you realise (and I suspect you do) - that you are producing the ultimate primer for young adult art collectors?
Book deal!!!
And when its produced I'll send it to all my god children.
(If you can't find a publisher I might be able to help)
I'm a bit hurt that you've - well, I'm not no loger on your Favorite Non-Art Blogs "list" ...
Feeling slighted a bit but thats okay. i have to focus and work on my blog and maybe its not worth doing anyways.
You have a wonderful site and resource and more power to you.
Wih best reards,

I live in miami and out of every museum in town, I like the rubell family collection best--a creepy space in an old DEA warehouse on the wrong side of the tracks...
