Wake up Miami! It’s not just about Wynwood Art Walk anymore, it’s about the Bird Road Art District, igniting over 30 art galleries and growing every month…
Seriously! It’s not about the who’s who, but about the “whoâ€. Let us meet Chris Riggs. He’s an artist who paints with geometric shapes and vivid colors, acrylic and spray paint on canvas, and has a mindset for making a wall come alive.
“My latest show has been in the works for a year. I’m introducing to the art world some of the most unique pieces I have ever painted,†Riggs says.

Ave 74 – A Miami Art Gallery, will be hosting the Chris Riggs solo show. “We are the latest gallery to move into the Bird Road Art District.†Says 14 year frame shop owner, Adam Brand of Frames USA & Art Gallery. In a short amount of time, this new addition to the art district has attracted hundreds of new art lovers to the area with it’s May and June exhibits.
“After seeing so many art galleries doing the same thing over and over again, I wanted to introduce an art gallery that will always have the hands-on touch with the artist present. For this month’s expo, walking into my gallery will give people a sense of taking a blank canvas and turning it into a message that will make our visitors say, ‘I need this in my life’.†Brand says. “We will also donate part of the sales from the July 21st event to Camillus House.â€
