The Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau (GMCVB) has announced a full slate of programming for its Art of Black Miami (AOBM) initiative during 2025 Miami Art Week, marking the program's 11th year. The lineup includes exhibitions, performances, film screenings, culinary experiences, and artist talks, with highlights such as Asser Saint-Val's "Yellow Elder" sculpture in Coconut Grove and events at venues across neighborhoods including Historic Overtown, Little Haiti, and Little Havana. Featured events include the Peter London Global Dance Company, Woody De Othello's exhibition, the Point Comfort Art Fair, and the Museum of Contemporary Art North Miami's Art of Transformation program.
AOBM has evolved from a Miami Art Week feature into a year-round cultural platform that boosts tourism, supports local artists, and drives economic growth for small businesses in Greater Miami and Miami Beach. The initiative serves as a key platform for Black and Afro-Latino artists, showcasing both established and emerging talent from the U.S., the Caribbean, Latin America, and beyond. By linking cultural output with tourism development, AOBM brings year-round visibility to local communities and strengthens the region's brand as a global arts destination.
