Miami Beach is about to get even more colorful at this year’s Art Week Miami, thanks to the iconic Lincoln Road. Known for its vibrant energy, this famed outdoor district is transforming into an immersive art experience this December with over 20 unique installations, pop-up galleries, and interactive artworks. Art Week Miami Beach has always been a feast for the senses, and Lincoln Road’s 2024 lineup is no exception – it’s an unmissable invitation to explore creativity and celebrate diversity at the heart of Miami.

Anchoring Art Week Miami: Daniel Anderson’s “XO World”

Lincoln Road’s headline attraction this year is “XO World,” a monumental sculpture by renowned sculptor Daniel Anderson. Set to be unveiled on November 19, this colossal 20,000-pound installation will remain on display through June 2025, giving art lovers plenty of time to soak in its message of peace and unity. Standing at over 12 feet high and spanning 24 feet in length, “XO World” is an unmissable symbol of connection, modeled after a childhood jack. The installation’s two core elements – a “love jack” representing unity, and a globe embodying the world – invite viewers to reflect on values of equality and compassion.

Anderson, whose XO Project Foundation champions sustainable humanitarian efforts worldwide, shared his excitement for the installation’s Miami Beach debut. “It is an honor to expand the presence of the ‘XO World’ installation’s interactive experience and movement in the vivacious, diverse, global city of Miami Beach,” he said. The foundation works tirelessly to support communities in need, particularly in healthcare, food security, and economic empowerment, with a strong focus on women’s rights.

“Dream Machine” by Rubem Robierb: Where Wishes Take Flight

Adding to the district’s interactive installations, visual artist Rubem Robierb’s “Dream Machine” invites visitors into a world of imagination. This life-size butterfly wing sculpture offers a playful, photo-ready experience where visitors can stand between the wings and let their dreams soar. The “Dream Machine” debuted on the Celebrity Edge cruise ship and later dazzled audiences in New York’s Tribeca Park. Now, it brings a dose of whimsy to Miami Beach’s cultural scene, inviting visitors to capture their dreams against the striking wings.

A Pop-Up Gallery by Actor and Artist Jordi Mollà

For those looking to explore contemporary art, Lincoln Road’s “Beauty” pop-up gallery by Jordi Mollà is not to be missed. Known for his roles in *Blow* and *Bad Boys II*, Mollà’s talent extends into the art world, where he crafts visually arresting pieces inspired by nature, beauty, and Miami’s effervescent culture. Located at 1655 Meridian Ave., the gallery features acrylics, charcoal, and mixed media works created between 2020 and today. Art enthusiasts can even book private appointments with Mollà’s curator, Giuseppe Ferlito, to experience these pieces up close.

With its array of galleries, including the Romero Britto Gallery, Oolite Arts, and the Robert Fontaine Gallery, Lincoln Road offers something for every art lover. This year’s Art Week Miami Beach is shaping up to be an unparalleled cultural experience, where visitors can explore, engage, and reflect on the powerful messages of each work on display.

For anyone visiting Miami Beach this December, Lincoln Road promises a truly transformative journey through art and culture. So bring your camera, your curiosity, and a sense of wonder – there’s a world of creativity waiting for you on Lincoln Road.

The art is just one of the many reasons we love visiting Miami.
