Skip the Art Fairs and Head to These Residences for Free Public Art

in ,

Miami Art Week turns the city into a gallery district—but some of the most compelling installations this season live inside (and around) new residential projects, and they’re free to visit year-round. From an oceanfront sculpture anchored by a global art star to a future Artwalk inspired by Morris Lapidus and a mural-packed paseo in Wynwood, here are three stops redefining how real estate and public art meet.

Ocean Terrace, North Beach — Prune Nourry’s “Reflection”

North Beach’s under-the-radar elegance gets a blue-chip moment with “Reflection,” the first permanent public installation in Miami by French artist Prune Nourry. Sited in the newly opened, six-acre Ocean Terrace Park—and wrapped in tropical landscaping by Raymond Jungles—the large-scale work brings museum-grade presence to the shoreline. It’s a strong signal for Ocean Terrace, a resort-residential enclave with interiors by Robert A.M. Stern Architects, and a timely detour from the fair tents: ocean air, big art, zero ticket lines.

The Ritz-Carlton Residences, South Beach — The Lincoln Road Artwalk

At the nexus of Lincoln Road and the beach, the developer behind The Ritz-Carlton Residences, South Beach is partnering with the Morris Lapidus Foundation to realize elements the late architect envisioned—but never completed—for the grand concourse. The multimillion-dollar Artwalk will unfold over the coming years; during Miami Art Week, a KEF! piece inspired by Lapidus debuts at BitBasel before moving to the corridor. Think of it as a preview screening for a public realm project designed to elevate the “East End” of Lincoln Road for residents and visitors alike.

Calle Collective at Joule House, Wynwood — 19 Murals, Open Daily

Fisher Brothers’ Joule House introduces Calle Collective, an open-air gallery curated with WXLLSPACE that turns its public paseo into a kaleidoscope of Miami talent. Nineteen large-format murals—by Tatiana Suarez, BK Foxx, Ahol Sniffs Glue, Hoxxoh, and more—bring Wynwood’s energy back to street level, while 26,000 square feet of incoming retail promises coffee-and-browse staying power. It’s free, it’s walkable, and it’s an easy add to any Wynwood day.

A Vision for “Billionaires’ Beach”: The Ritz-Carlton Residences, South Beach Hosts Lincoln Road Reimagined

in

In a city where the skyline is constantly evolving, few addresses command attention like South Beach’s Collins Avenue. On May 16, the energy behind that evolution took center stage at The Ritz-Carlton Residences, South Beach, which hosted an exclusive panel event, Lincoln Road Reimagined, bringing together Miami’s top minds in real estate, architecture, and development to discuss the transformation of the 100 block of Lincoln Road and the entrance to the iconic beachwalk.

Katherine Kallergis, Frederik Eklund, Kobi Karp, Russell W. Galbut, Dayssi Kanavos, Lyle Stern & Andres Arcila

Moderated by The Real Deal’s Katherine Kallergis, the conversation unfolded inside a sleek new sales gallery, just unveiled within The Ritz-Carlton, South Beach. The event spotlighted how this landmark stretch—fittingly nicknamed “Billionaires’ Beach”—is rapidly reshaping thanks to a collaboration between the State of Florida, the City of Miami Beach, and the ownership families behind The Ritz-Carlton and Sagamore Hotels.

Paul Kanavos & Pietro Belmonte

Panelists included real estate star Fredrik Eklund of EKLUND | GOMES, renowned architect Kobi Karp, and Flag Luxury’s Dayssi Olarte de Kanavos and Peter Kanavos Sr., who are spearheading the residential vision. Also contributing were Andres Arcila of Naturalficial, Russell W. Galbut of Crescent Heights, and Lyle Stern of Vertical Real Estate—each offering sharp insight into Miami Beach’s next chapter, which is being shaped as much by thoughtful design as by walkability, culture, and lifestyle innovation.

Following the discussion, over 150 guests enjoyed a rooftop reception complete with elevated bites and desserts by Chef José Andrés. With signature flavors like Tuna Tataki, Mini Lobster Rolls, and Garides in garlic-lemon beurre blanc, the fare matched the event’s upscale tone—an ode to the luxurious and communal spirit the new Ritz-Carlton Residences promise to deliver.
