The First-Ever Museum of Graffiti
With Miami’s Art Basel Festival around the corner (5th of December), the Museum of Graffiti, a permanent space paying homage to the scene, opens its doors for the first time ever! Hailed by many as the only real Museum for Graffiti, the space will see works from legends like RAMMELLZEE, Dondi White, Phase2, Blade, Doze Green, among others. These include paintings, mixed-media sculptures, as well as interactive installations.
The Museum is headed by graffiti artist and curator Alan Ket alongside Miami native and attorney Allison Freidin. “We are delighted to announce the opening date, and hope visitors will learn how graffiti has transformed sleepy, industrial neighbourhoods into world-class destinations. It is time to celebrate the artists and their contributions to the art world and our communities,” said Allison Freidin. “This is the most culturally significant art movement of the second half of the 20th century,” Ket added. “This art is about raw energy, rebelliousness and authenticity, and we are excited to share its past, present, and future with the world.”
