Art Basel Miami Art Week 2023

The Power of Words, Opening Reception

Sunday, December 3
4 PM

102 Beach Access Path, Bal Harbour, FL 33154

 Join us as we bring Miami Art Week to Bal Harbour. This original exhibit, which will be located along the Beach Access path south of Oceana, is a temporary installation from local resident, and international artist, Tania Esponda Aja, which seamlessly unites nature and art. In the artist’s original language, vibrant red words thread emotions and meanings around the natural landscape of the area. In this confluence of vivid reds and lush greens, the work showcases emotion’s enduring strength and the human spirit’s resilience.
