One of the amazing murals painted in Wynwood during Art Basel 2017
Art Basel 2017 came and went and it left its mark on Wynwood. The past two years, 2015 &N 2016, were somewhat disappointing but 2017 was the best Art Basel for Wynwood in three years. We had many amazing murals painted all over Wynwood not least of which is this one in one of the more quiet corners still remaining in the neighborhood, This mural was a collaboration by Gamma Acosta from Denver and Luis Valle from Miami.

Basel is in the air in Wynwood. You can smell it in the air, literally. The smell of aerosol paint invades your nostrils as you approach the walls where street artists are applying their craft. Soon the streets of Wynwood will be crawling with activity as dozens of street artists converge on the city to renew the murals on our walls.

The Jose De Diego Middle School in WynwoodOne of my favorite places to photograph is Wynwood, and one of the most interesting times to photograph Wynwood is when Art Basel is in town. This year was no exceptipn and we had some talented artists come and create some amazing work. This is a shot of the Jose De Diego Middle School. Over 40 artists where invited to paint at the school to bring attention to it's lack of an art program. On the left side, behind the tree, there is a piece by Pixel Pancho. To the right, in the corner of the building there is a piece by MTO. The school is now covered in beautiful murals and has practially become an art museum.
