The Miami Art Scene: Part 2 – Art Galleries
Fredric Snitzer Gallery
The previous post on the Miami Art Scene covered Art Museums. I mentioned that Miami has congregations of galleries such as the Miami Design District, Coral Gables, Calle Ocho, Wynwood, Downtown Miami, and Lincoln Road. However, galleries are found throughout the Greater Miami area in every Miami-Dade County municipality.
Every type of art is represented and artists hail from everywhere in the world. The following are some notable galleries you might want to consider visiting.
The Fredric Snitzer Gallery has been around since 1977. The gallery consists of 3,000 sq ft of indoor exhibition space and a 2,600 square foot outdoor sculpture garden. Art in all media is represented here including painting, sculpture, installation, drawing, photography, and performance art. Exhibitions are rotated at least eight times a year.
Artechouse
Digital art galleries have been popular in Europe and Asia. They are now taking off in the United States. Artechouse has been at the forefront of this exciting platform for bringing art to art lovers with galleries in Washington, D.C., New York, and Miami Beach.
Unlike traditional galleries, here the art surrounds you. It moves and interacts with you. Exhibits can be set to music and the experience is completely immersive. Not a traditional art gallery by any means, Artechouse is an innovative art space for new media artists.

Bakehouse Art Complex
Wynwood’s Bakehouse Art Complex has been around since 1986. Once an Art Deco-era bakery, it has been transformed into galleries and studio residencies. Today the Bakehouse is home to 100 artists. Bakehouse breaks down barriers to entry for emerging artists providing studio residencies and access to resources such as galleries, print room, photo lab, ceramic room, kiln facilities, wood shop, and welding areas.
Visitors can wander through the complex's 33,000 sq ft building and explore the 60 artist studios. During the quarterly open house, you can see artists at work and observe their creative process.
