Aventura’s creative landscape is about to get a jolt of color, sound and soul. On Thursday, June 26, local artist and native son Keith Kimmel - better known by his moniker ‘The Art of kEith’ - will debut his new fine art storefront, kEith Showcase, at Esplanade at Aventura with an immersive public pop-up event from 7 to 10 p.m.
Part gallery opening, part live performance, and part thought experiment, the kEith Pop Up Event invites guests to experience art in motion and to reconsider what it means to create and collect art in the age of artificial intelligence.
With a champagne reception, a live canvas painting demonstration and a musical performance by Kimmel himself, the evening promises to be a celebration of human creativity at its most expressive and unscripted. But beyond the spectacle, the event marks something deeper: a homecoming for an artist whose career has spanned Art Basel exhibitions, gallery residencies and national showcases over the past two decades.
“I want people to not just see the art but to feel it, to engage with it, to become a part of it,” says Kimmel. “Especially now, when we’re at a turning point where art and technology are intersecting in new and sometimes uncertain ways.”
That sentiment is at the heart of his Blue Chip Art Patronage Experience, a new model for art collecting that Kimmel is unveiling at the storefront. It reimagines the relationship between artist and patron, inviting collectors not just to purchase pieces, but to become stewards of artistic legacy — blending technology, investment, and the enduring power of emotion-driven art.
The opening of kEith Showcase is also part of a broader movement at Esplanade at Aventura, which is quickly establishing itself as a hub for local talent and cultural experiences in the heart of North Miami-Dade. The event underscores the shopping center’s commitment to supporting the arts and offering more than just retail — creating space for community, connection, and creativity.
Whether you’re a serious collector, a curious local, or someone looking for a night of inspiration, the kEith Pop Up Event offers a rare opportunity to witness — and participate in — the launch of something uniquely Aventura, undeniably human and deeply original.
