Wynwood Miami Art District in Pictures
The Wynwood Art District in Miami (Florida, USA) is perhaps the most colorful neighborhood I have ever visited. The walls of the buildings in the neighborhoods were painted in colorful street arts. It feels like the whole neighborhood is an open-air street art installation. I felt a little bit lost in the moment when exploring the neighborhood. I wished they have sort of specific artistic theme or painting style on each “block/square”, or maybe they do but I just missed it.
Nevertheless, the district is very unique and catchy for photography. Historically, it started in the year 2003 by a group of artists that was initiated by Mark Coetzee. Then in 2009, Tony Goldman built the Wynwood Walls where the artists from around the world can participate in exhibiting their street arts/murals work. It’s an open-air park with numerous murals and walls with street arts from artists around the world. It’s a great idea to introduce the district to the world. Following are some images of street arts that exhibited in the Wynwood Walls during my visit.
The district is also home to numerous restaurants, bars, shops, art galleries and that famous Lock & Load Miami. OK, it’s okay if you don’t know the Lock & Load Miami, – Lock and Load Miami is a shooting range for automatic machine guns, where you can rent the guns and try them out. I did not visit the range but I knew it after reading a funny book by Dave Barry – Best. State. Ever.: A Florida Man Defends His Homeland. Anyway, these businesses have their buildings painted by the artists and they are so vibrant!
Above of all, don’t forget to see what you step into….the artists also make sure the pedestrians pathways to be as fun as the walls and buildings in the district. Afterall, that’s what the district is for – as a place to express your thoughts and artistic skills. Hope you enjoy the images here too 🙂
indahs: dive, travel & photography 
When we were in Miami, we tried desperately to find such artworks – but couldn’t! But we were spellbound by Art Deco area (just by the south beach).
Hi Alok, the location is nearby to the South Beach. It’s not too far from the bridge. I agree the Art Deco on the South Beach is impressive 🙂
How fun!
It was! 🙂
Thanks for taking us to the Wynwood Miami Art, Indah. Great variety, bold colors, creative concepts. I especially like the first one, the woman on the bicycle; but what I think is a hammerhead shark is pretty cool, too.
I like the hammerhead shark too – I think it may be great for tattoos 😀 Thank you so much, Jet!
I’ve never seen this area, thank you Indah. Such awesome colours!
It was a unique district – I have never seen an area that full of colors like the Wynwood – it’s just too many street arts in almost every buildings 😀
I’ve heard of it and seen pics but wonder if it is safe right outside the borders. Looking to relocate poses a lot of meaningful questions.
Beautiful shots! Blessings, Emma
I wonder myself. I have read the Wynwood Walls effort – especially – has improved the district and I saw there was numerous ongoing building construction. It takes a while to improve a district 🙂 Thank you so much, Emma!
Thank you!
Thank you for displaying the beauty of Miami, my home town. Wynwood area has come a long way, so beautiful.
My pleasure! You have a beautiful and a vibrant hometown. I would love to visit Florida again and travel around the state 🙂
