The NY Times: Miami’s Rise as an Art Hub Draws Artists and Offers Inspiration

Antonia Wright Ruben Millares Making Miami

By Joseph B. Treaster, Dec. 5, 2023

The respect for art in South Florida has made it a “cozy” place for people to come — and stay for work and to build a following.

Antonia Wright, 43, who lived in Montana, New York, Latin America and Europe before coming home to Miami, has just finished building a sculpture for a show called “Making Miami” in the Miami Design District. The exhibit covers the years of art in Miami from 1996 to 2012, showing a little of Miami before Art Basel and up to the 10th anniversary of the fair.
