From 6-9p the area business district opens its doors to artists, and visitors enjoy established\u00a0and emerging visual and performing artists on the sidewalks\u00a0throughout town until 10p.<\/p>\n

Unlike other communities which have multiple art galleries and host art night events, South Miami relies on responsive establishments and its tree-lined sidewalks to host artists.<\/p>\n
