THE WIRTZ GALLERY
Located in the lobby of the First National Bank of South Miami, each month The Wirtz Gallery presents local & international artists. Gallery hours are Monday to Thursday 9a-4p, and Friday, 9a-6p. Artist receptions are generally held on the second Friday of the month from 6-9p and are open to the public.
In June, the Gallery hosts the Three Women: Three Elements exhibition. The representative works reap from the creative strengths of three women artists who each works with a different element: water, clay and metal converging this space in time.

CONTEMPORARY DESIGN
arango has enjoyed over fifty years in presenting Miamians modern design in housewares, furnishing and accessories. For decades, arango was a fixture at Dadeland. However the owners David and Marianne Russell took arango from the mall to main street with their retail gallery located in a 1950s modernistic storefront at 5864 Sunset Drive. The store regularly features exhibitions of modern design artists with their collections.
