“Art is at the forefront of any important urban transformation,” said Downtown novelist Raúl Guerrero. “The institution of a Gallery Night helps to define this transformation and helps to change the perception many people have of a Downtown Miami lacking culture.”

David Brown, founder and president of The Urban Tour Host, believes Downtown Miami Gallery Night will connect art with residents and businesses throughout the year and for years to come.

“Downtown Miami remains the historical and architectural jewel of Miami-Dade County. Downtown Miami Gallery Night will showcase this marvelous quarter” – Paul George, PhD.
