Cemented as the premier winter art fair, Art Wynwood continues to set itself apart from other fairs by offering up unique installations and special events. This year's highlights will include:
● Art Grand Slam, presented by GALLERIA CA' D'ORO, is a collaboration from the most successful female tennis player of the open era and visual artist, Martina Navratilova, and contemporary Slovak artist, Juro Kralik, their first international exhibition in the United States. Art Grand Slam first was conceived in 1999 by Kralik, and since then the dynamic duo have created over 300 pieces, many of them on the Grand Slam courts. The collaboration commemorates the adventure of a true champion and the imagination imported from their love of tennis and art. The artists together reach a creative intersection and produce a unique dialogue through the juxtaposition of an athlete who redefined her sport through will, determination and unprecedented athleticism turned visual artist. A portion of the proceeds from sales will support the Perry J. Cohen Memorial Endowed Scholarship Fund at the University of Miami Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science.

● Shepard Fairey, the famous American contemporary street artist, graphic designer, activist, illustrator, entrepreneur and the founder of OBEY Clothing, will be given the Art Wynwood Tony Goldman Lifetime Artistic Achievement Award this year. The award acknowledges individuals in art whose careers have changed the industry and is presented in partnership with Wynwood Walls. Most recently, Fairey released the "We the People" series to protest President Donald Trump, featuring portraits of Native Americans, African Americans, Muslims and Latinas depicted with slogans such as "Defend Dignity" and "Protect Each Other." A selection of these inspiring works will be on display at the fair.
● February marks Black History Month, and New York City visual artist, Cey Adams, presented by Vertu Fine Art, will display a selection of works from his recent series of American flag paintings, which reveal the rich history and traditions of the African movement in America. The series inspired him to create O ne Nation, a large-scale mural that he created for a dedication ceremony lead by Barack Obama during Freedom Sounds: A Community Celebration at the opening of the Smithsonian's National Museum of African American History and Culture. Adams was also the Creative Director of Def Jam Recordings and is known for working with music legends including Beastie Boys, Jay Z and Mary J. Blige, among others.
● The Wynwood Radio station once again will broadcast live from the fair, bringing you interviews with artists, exhibitors and fair directors, and streaming the panel discussions for their listeners.
● Cuban Art will be a chief focus this year, as Coral Gables Museum has partnered with Art Wynwood to highlight the exhibition Cuban Art in the 20th Century, which features artists Wifredo Lam, Amelia Peláez, Armando Menocal, René Portocarrero, and many others. PUENTE / BRIDGE is a special exhibition that will concentrate on the work of 21st century Cuban artists, the generation that connects us all to this new and exciting time in artistic expression from inside and outside the island nation. Additionally, Luis Valenzuela, Miami visual artist, fashion designer and head of The Creators Lab, will showcase a selection of headpieces inspired by the work of Cuban painter Cundo Bermúdez, as well as display miniature versions on 3D printed models.
