This year’s Nina Torres Fine Art special project, the International Art Exhibition MIAMI at 1800 gallery, promises to be an exciting exhibition, presenting works by 40 artists from 20 countries. Taking place during the most important and dynamic international art fair in the United States, Art Basel Miami Beach. This project highlights the role of the city of Miami as an international cultural hotspot. This curated exhibition also inaugurates Nina Torres Fine Art’s new location at 1800 gallery: the first waterfront gallery in the most important and active forthcoming area of Miami: the Arts & Entertainment District. As the only waterfront gallery, this location will serve the local and international community as a meeting point where art enthusiasts, collectors, and the general public gather for interactive events in a bright, welcoming space. Nina Torres Fine Art has become known for its extensive roster of special projects that inject curatorial values in a space for cultural exchange. As executive director, I curate exhibitions with the goal of providing new perspectives on global contemporary art practices and trends. It is an honor to welcome you to a new phase for Nina Torres Fine Art.
