SOMIartwalk\u00a9<\/sup> came to a grand finale in March, with more art on the sidewalks and in businesses, and after parties hosted at area restaurants.\u00a0 Unlike other areas which boast of many art galleries, South Miami has a unique take on presenting an artnight as area businesses open their doors to artists as well as on our tree-lined sidewalks.\u00a0 As South Miami is a more family-oriented community, many locations on sidewalks\u00a0 showcased art and musical performances by area students.<\/p>\n

SOMIartwalk\u00a9<\/sup> is held on the second Friday of the month, from October through March.\u00a0 Art Night visitors walking through our town center got to appreciate the visual and performing arts while also appreciating the uniqueness of our charming retail business establishments.
\nArt Night Ambassadors distribute Art Night maps to visitors walking our sidewalks.<\/p>\n
