Eight years may seem like a long time but for architect and cultural arts influencer Neil Hall, 72 months is not nearly long enough to promote the generous contributions of the Black diaspora, which dates to the beginning of time.
Hall’s inaugural Art Africa Miami Arts Fair (AAMAF) opening was purposefully established in Historic Overtown in 2011, setting a precedent as the largest showcase of contemporary artists from the African Diaspora during Art Basel.
This year’s theme confronts all stereotypes and forms of ignorance with a bold statement: “Black Art Matters: It’s Not A Choice.” The Art Africa Miami Arts Fair takes place at 919 and 920 NW 2nd Ave. in Miami, Dec. 5-9.
Organized with the support of the Southeast Overtown Parkwest (SEOPW) Community Redevelopment Agency, the fair continues to bring a vital and essential cultural service to the South Florida community, lending the Magic City a truly international flair.
