ART BASEL MIAMI

ENJOYED A SNEAK PREVIEW OF WYNWOOD GARDEN

Without the Goldman Family, there would be no Miami Beach Art Deco District renaissance.

Center City Philadelphia wouldn't have a 13th Street Rebirth.

Parts of Manhattan would have been slower to renew.

And certainly, Miami's famed Wynwood would not be a world-famous arts district without the hard work of the late Tony Goldman and his entire family.

PlusUrbia Design is proud to have worked with the Goldmans and other stakeholders to create the Wynwood Neighborhood Revitalization District.

The firm also is proud to have designed Wynwood Garden, the next great open space, event space and home of mural art next to the famous Wynwood Walls and Wynwood Doors -- all thanks to the Goldman Family.

We checked out the progress -- and enjoyed the barrier-free paved access -- on the Thanksgiving weekend.

Two giant thumbs up.

WYNWOOD WALLS

Hundreds of thousands will come to greater Miami the first week of December to attend Art Basel Miami Beach.

Tens of thousands will be spent on admissions and tens of millions will be spent on fine art.

All of that is wonderful and our subtropical city is better of for it.

But the best art in all of South Florida is free.

The largest collection of outdoor mural art on earth is located in Wynwood, a still gritty former warehouse district just northwest of Downtown.

The late Tony Goldman's Wynwood Walls started it all.
