What you’ll see at Museum of Graffiti in Miami

In Miami’s Wynwood neighborhood, best know for the world’s greatest concentration of graffiti, street art and murals, the Museum of Graffiti traces the fascinating origins of everything to be seen on the walls outside.

Filling a footprint not as large as two subway cars side-by-side, the museum charts the unlikely rise of street art from its inception as the hobby of New York youths with nothing better to do during the city’s bottoming-out in the 1970s, to become the most popular art form in the world today. Original artwork and an extraordinary collection of rare ephemera are placed into tight storytelling by Alan Ket.

Ket is a graffiti artist, art historian, collector, author of numerous books on the subject and co-founder of the museum. He’s as knowledgeable as anyone in the country on the graffiti movement. Visitors would be well-advised to ask for him upon arrival to see if he has a few minutes to share his enthusiasm.

While there, be sure to use the bathroom. You’ll understand why when you–“go.”

Opened in fall of 2019, the pocket-sized museum already feels like an indispensable feature of Miami’s dynamic arts community.

Enjoyed visiting @nimanfineart in #SantaFe, home g Enjoyed visiting @nimanfineart in #SantaFe, home gallery for the legendary #dannamingha also presenting the work of his sons Arlo and Michael. The family owns and operates the business with AMAZING examples of work from all three on hand. 
The paintings here are by Dan, an @instituteofamericanindianarts graduate and one of the most important contemporary Native American artists for going on 40 years.
I was honored to meet the man himself and spend time chatting about his life and work.
Find the gallery just off the Plaza in @cityofsantafe right next door to a gallery dedicated to his friend and fellow legend, Allan Houser.

This original Florida Highwaymen painting by Alfre This original Florida Highwaymen painting by Alfred Hair is different in a variety of ways. They didn’t often paint in a portrait format and this Everglades scene is less common than poinciana or beach imagery.
I dig it, how about you?

When I say #Botswana, you think… #elephant. Yest When I say #Botswana, you think… #elephant. Yesterday was lions, today I’m up close with #elephants on my #africansafari.
Botswana is home to the world’s largest concentration of elephants, numbering roughly 140,000 around the country. In these photos, taken with just an older iPhone, you can see how close guests at @desertdelta @chobegamelodge come to these beautiful, gentle animals… close enough to hear them chew their food.
These herds (which go into water at Chobe River, amazing site) in include numerous youngsters showing the health of their population.

Who ordered the LIONS! My morning #safari drive wi Who ordered the LIONS! My morning #safari drive with @desertdelta #chobegamelodge inside #chobenationalpark #botswana was AMAZING with lion sightings. 
Many of these lions were fewer than 20 feet from the vehicle. All of these pictures taken on an older iPhone. My YouTube channel (@seegreatart) has a full video showing how close we were.
All the safari guides at Chobe Game Lodge are women - the Chobe Angels - from around Botswana who undergo extensive professional training before taking out guests.
