Miami Design District's current art programming is here. Upcoming exhibitions to look forward to including Quinaz Studio’s BAY STORE--showcasing a range of items crafted using only materials sourced from Biscayne Bay and the Miami River turning trash into furniture--and New World School of the Arts’ 2021 Bachelor of Fine Arts Exhibition. In addition, the Miami Design District launched its Special Sunset Public Art Tours led by resident expert Thom Wheeler Castillo, and Emmet Moore’s “The Grotto'' Lounge is now on view permanently and open 24/7 to visitors. Other initiatives/installations to enjoy while visiting the neighborhood include ArtLife Gallery, Apollo Project’s ‘Landed’, Jade Alley Films, and AMLgMTD’s Breakwater Bench.

Part exhibition, part performance, BAYSTORE invites you to watch the design process as Quinaz navigates the detritus in our waterways to produce thoughtful, functional furniture before your eyes. By using refuse, BAY STORE asks the viewer to consider the cost of excess and reckon with a society that litters its priceless natural landscapes with cheap plastics, foams, and other harmful waste. Visitors will have the opportunity to watch the artist work, learn about the issues facing South Florida’s precious aquatic resources, and purchase one-of-a-kind pieces from the gallery. 10% of the proceeds will be donated to nonprofits working to keep our bay and ocean clean.

The gallery was founded by veteran Art Advisor and Manager, Avery Andon in 2015, as one of the first online-only international Blue-Chip art galleries. Given the high momentum Miami is currently experiencing, the team felt it was the right time to debut this temporary pop-up in the Miami Design District. ArtLife has created a space where visitors can be immersed in works by some of the world’s most celebrated artists including Andy Warhol, Keith Hering, and Banksy. Additionally, ArtLife also provides the opportunity for visitors to experience works by a range of up and coming artists such as Cory Van Lew and Jannie Holmes.

The Grotto also takes cues from local sites such as the Coral Castle and the Venetian Pool where the quarrying of coral rock acquiesced to a mystical landscape, and a fantasy Venetian enclave. Each a tropical fantasy created by man in an effort to transport visitors to an otherworldly place. The Grotto is part pavilion, part folly, where one can escape from everyday life. Emmett Moore’s Grotto Lounge is on permanent display. Location: 3920 NE 2nd Ave., Miami, Florida, 33137 Dates: Permanent display APOLLO PROJECTS ‘LANDED’ Apollo ‘Landed’ is the initial iteration of the first plant exhibition to take place in Miami Design District. All artists involved were invited to create, with nature as collaborator and muse, bringing attention to a living, shifting climate and all her inhabitants. From May to July, this pop-up will be hosting activations and installations, focused on reconnecting with the surrounding environments, where locals are invited to create art, with nature as their muse.

From April 1 to June 30, the Miami Design District will feature ‘Outage’ by Philadelphia-based artists: Jennifer Levonian and Eva Wylie. Originally commissioned and premiered by Locust Projects in 2019, Outage is a video that utilizes Levonian's signature cut-paper animation technique, which incorporates deftly rendered watercolors into short films that wryly depict prescient social narratives and Eva Wylie's unique printmaking techniques. The single-channel animation was made from over 3,000 frames, and more than 275 screens were used to create pieces for the animation. April 1 – June 30, 2021 Jennifer Levonian + Eva Wylie Outage, 2019 Duration: 4 minutes 08 seconds Video work commissioned by Locust Projects Selected by Locust Projects July 1 – September 30, 2021 Sarah Morris Midtown, 1998 16MM/DVD Duration: 9 minutes 30 seconds Selected by de la Cruz Collection October 1- December 31, 2021 ICA Miami Digital Commissions, 2020–2021 Digital videos, color, sound Commissioned by the Institute of Contemporary Art, Miami Supported by Knight Foundation BREAKWATER BENCH BY AMLGMTD Ideated by design duo AMLgMTD, the Breakwater Bench is a system of individual benches inspired by the lapping ebb and flow pattern of waves. The slight shift in the repetition of a single element creates movement between the open and closed sections within the design. This simple use of geometry causes playful shadows to appear where the light filters through the open structure.

More than ever today, we need that little bit of rock and roll and a whole lot of glamour to lift our spirits and lighten the days. There are things in this world that endure. My caftans of yesteryear and today. Timelessness personified."

As a powerful new wave of buyers descend on Miami’s residential real estate market, the Melo Group, Miami’s preeminent developer of luxury real estate communities, is bringing its newest development to market: Aria Reserve Miami, a 62-story, twin tower luxury waterfront condominium development on Biscayne Bay in the heart of Miami’s burgeoning Edgewater neighborhood. The development will mark the tallest waterfront residential twin towers in the U.S. Melo Group is now launching sales for Aria Reserve’s South Tower, which will encompass 391 spacious residences and penthouses. Designed by world-renowned Arquitectonica, Aria Reserve’s enviable location will boast 550 linear feet of bay frontage, with direct views of Biscayne Bay, the Atlantic Ocean, and the Miami Beach skyline. Construction of Aria Reserve’s South Tower is expected to begin in early 2022, with completion slated for 2024. Residences will include impeccably finished units with one- to four-bedroom floorplans measuring between 1,100 and 2,600 square feet in size. A limited collection of 15 penthouses residences will also be available, ranging from 3,500 to over 9,000 square feet, each with its own one-of-a-kind personal three-car garage vault. Three trilevel penthouse mansions will feature private rooftop decks with pools and summer kitchens.Residences are priced from about $750,000 to over $2 million, and up to $12 million for penthouses. Preconstruction sales are now underway, with starting unit prices averaging approximately $750 per square foot. “This type of waterfront, luxury condominium opportunity simply no longer exists in Miami at this price point,” said Martin Melo, Co-Principal of the Melo Group. “With more than two acres of open-air amenities, spaciously oversized luxury residences, and an unmatched waterfront location, Aria Reserve is sure to appeal local empty-nesters as well as out-of-market domestic and international residents looking to relocate to and live full-time in Miami.” The news of Aria Reserve’s launch comes as Miami experiences an extreme surge in residential real estate sales sparked by a new wave of wealthy out-of-towners opting to make South Florida their primary residence fueled by a more desirable quality of life, and lower business and living expenses – a trend which began with the 2016 tax reform bill and has only accelerated since the Covid-19 pandemic made remote working more commonplace. Every residence at Aria Reserve will include two private elevators, a dedicated office/bonus room, at least 10-foot-high ceilings, and open flow-through layouts with expansive 11-foot-deep east- and west-facing outdoor terraces boasting unparalleled sunset views to the west and bay and ocean views to the east. Standout amenities will include a two-acre recreation deck, which will be home to a semi-Olympic sized lap pool and whirlpool spa, a children’s splash pad, playground area, teen lounge and gaming center, a theater, tennis courts, basketball courts, paddle courts, a miniature golf course, and an indoor/outdoor wellness center with spa/steam/sauna facilities, massage rooms, a state-of-the-art gym, yoga lounge and meditation garden. The building will also feature a double-level 25-foot lobby, a signature waterfront restaurant and café, two additional pool and lounge areas with two Jacuzzis and poolside daybeds, a fire pit, a dog park, and a telescope observatory area looking out over the bay. Residents will also have access to a custom-designed watersports dock with available paddleboards, kayaks, and inflatables. On the ground floor along 23rd Street, Melo Group is developing a public park with open green space that will connect to the Miami Baywalk, providing direct access to the 5-mile-long pedestrian and bicycle-friendly waterfront promenade which runs along Biscayne Bay from Edgewater, around Brickell Key, and all the way to Brickell Bay Drive in Brickell. Aria Reserve has been architecturally designed by Bernardo Fort-Brescia of Arquitectonica, with interiors by MORADA Haute Furniture Boutique, and lush landscaping by ArquitectonicaGEO. Melo Group has been a driving force behind Downtown Miami’s real estate resurgence with a portfolio of more than 6,000 total condominium and rental units completed throughout the Greater Downtown Miami area. The firm has found success by investing early in prime land and building for market demand, delivering more than a dozen high-end multifamily and luxury condominium towers across the city’s Central Business District, Edgewater, Miami River, and Arts & Entertainment District neighborhoods. “Our philosophy has always been to build for what the market demands. Over the last twenty years, our firm has acquired land in and around Miami’s Downtown waterfront – and as long-term owners and operators of real estate, our investments have allowed us to develop the right product at the right time to meet demand for locals and residents around the world wanting to live in Miami,” said Carlos Melo, Co-Principal of the Melo Group. “Now, eight years after acquiring this unique five-acre piece of waterfront land with 550 linear feet on the bay in Edgewater, we’re very excited to launch Aria Reserve, our firm’s latest luxury condominium, in what has become one Miami’s most exciting new neighborhoods.” Situated along the bayfront just north of Downtown Miami, nestled between the Venetian and Julia Tuttle Causeways – the two main arteries connecting the City of Miami and Miami Beach – Edgewater has fast-emerged as the epicenter of the new Miami. The surrounding neighborhoods of Downtown’s Arts & Entertainment District, Miami Design District, Wynwood Arts District, Midtown Miami, and Miami Beach put residents within blocks of dozens of luxury retail shops, high-end restaurants and world-class arts and culture venues. Aria Reserve’s preconstruction sales model will allow for 30-percent-down deposits for domestic U.S. buyers, and 40-percent-down deposits for international buyers. Under this model, payments are staggered with 10 percent deposits made at varying stages throughout the course of the development’s construction, from the reservation/contract stage all the way to top-off, with the remainder of the unit’s value due upon completion/closing. In 2011, Melo Group was the first developer in Miami to implement the now-popular 50-percent-down financing model to build its 23 Biscayne condominium. For more information about Aria Reserve, including preconstruction sales opportunities, please contact the sales team at (305) 800-8888 or info@ariareserve.com, or visit the development’s temporary sales gallery at 2480 Biscayne Boulevard, Miami, FL 33137.

Escape. Whether a real-life getaway or a mere departure from the ordinary, an escape brings vitality to the human spirit. This is the essence of the Oscar de la Renta Pre-Spring 2022 collection, offering a reprieve from the virtual and elevating us into a brighter reality. The collection is inspired by the beauty of the outdoors, opening with floral prints born in the gardens of New York-based landscape architect Miranda Brooks. A scattering of blossoms is superimposed on printed panoramas of silk faille, and delicate tulle serves as the backdrop for crystalized flowers embroidered in three-dimensional splendor. Electric colors citrine, sky blue, emerald, and fuchsia ombré are boldly expressed in both daywear and evening wear. Drawn from the boulder sculptures by swiss-born mixed-media artist Ugo Rondinone, they are a powerful reflection of his fluorescently painted totems stacked high in the Nevada desert. Voluminous statement sleeves play on proportions by punctuating short dresses. Ruched and pressed taffeta delivers a couture-level impression. And brightly hued gowns in draped chiffon and tulle afford a relaxed and fluid silhouette. The ultimate drama of the collection is presented in dresses resplendent with metallic sequins which, rendered in copper, silver, and gold, are hand-applied over imperceptible organza. Variety abounds, ranging from a fitted strapless bodice to sleeves that graze the elbow and wrist from thigh-high hemlines to asymmetrical tea length. Tendrils of garden flowers, another inspiration from Miranda brooks, appear to float on the body and define the feminine mystique. By ML Staff. Images courtesy of Oscar de la Renta
