Where is Winwood and how did it appear

The area is old, warehouse and industrial, located in the suburbs of Miami, and now, due to the expansion of the city in all respects, it has appeared on the outskirts. Borders of Wynwood pass along 20 and 36 North Street, 1 Northeast Avenue and I-95.

Suddenly, an artwork of such unprecedented power turned out that Winwood gained worldwide fame, enormous popularity and healed his own unique cultural life. Around the colossal art object, new houses are being built with full infrastructure, swimming pools, parking lots and other attributes of a respectable housing. The price of land around Winwood is growing steadily. Once an abandoned warehouse area quickly becomes successful and elite.

Best time to visit Wynwood

The most popular time to visit is the second Saturday of every month, during the Wynwood Art Walk. This monthly event turns the entire Wynwood Art District into an evening street party and art festival, with mobile food tracks, live music and art galleries that run until late, and even give out drinks.

The famous art festival Art Basel Miami Beach in recent years has popularized contemporary art in principle, setting the direction for another major exhibition — Miami Art Week, which is held in the space of Winwood. Only a whole block of art is able to accommodate such a large-scale and ambitious project. The widest artistic program of the festival attracts gallery owners and museum workers, collectors from around the world. A significant part of the exposition is occupied by expensive antiques and classical art.

Near the art district, there are many shops for visitors. The Wynwood Walls Shop, for example, opened in 2012 and contains a curated collection of gifts, books, prints created by Winwood artists. There are also guides and books about the area that visitors can purchase to better learn the history and development of this unusual art object.
