Brickell Gallery Night combines art, music and fashion one night of the month in the heart of Brickell. Grab a gelato and check out the kiosks selling artisanal items around the Shops of Mary Brickell Village, then visit some of the businesses that participate in the cultural event.
Gallery Night is celebrating its second anniversary this December. It was founded to bring the local community together through art, as well as provide opportunities for the business community to network and support local artists and cultural institutions.

Enjoy fine art, music and wine on Gallery Night. The Gallery represents a small selection of artists, and features the work of Amparo Garzon, a Colombian artist whose style is referred to as “magical realism.” For more information, visit http://www.spiritdelartgallery.com.
