Clenance Group Publisher, Legacy Magazines Nicky Samuels Associate Publisher, MIA Magazine Denise St. Patrick-Bell PhD Copy Editor Nordene Bartley Manager Marketing & Social Media Zach Rinkins The Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau (GMCVB) is excited to continue the support of Art of Black Miami during the Art Basel season. This third year of collaboration is spearheaded by the Multicultural Tourism & Development Department and focuses on promoting the art, culture and diversity that resides here in greater Miami and also to shine a spotlight on local, national and international art and artists representing the African diaspora. The AOB Miami collaborative initiates each year during Art Basel on Miami Beach but continues year-round to celebrate the abundant artistic diversity found within Miami’s mosaic neighborhoods. We encourage residents and visitors to venture out to the communities in the Miami-Dade and experience some of the unique exhibits and programming throughout the entire city.
