The Wynwood Art District, or simply known as Wynwoood, is a subdivision of Midtown in Miami, Florida north of downtown.[1] It is roughly divided by NW/NE 20th Street to the south, I-195 to the north, I-95 to the west and Biscayne Boulevard (US 1) to the east.
Wynwood is home to one of the largest Puerto Rican enclaves in Miami. Wynwood is also referred to as "Little San Juan", and commonly known as "El Barrio". Puerto Rican owned restaurants, shops, markets and other businesses align the streets of Wynwood. Puerto Rican culture and social activity is centered in Wynwood. In recent years, many Puerto Ricans have been moving to more affluent areas of Miami such as Kendall and Coral Gables due to socioeconomic success in the past years. The Wynwood Puerto Rican population is dwindling and being replaced by Central Americans, especially people from Honduras. Gentrification is also taking place in Wynwood and many expensive condominiums are being built, replacing the mom and pop shops, as well as homes.
History
The Wynwood Art District Association was founded in early 2003. The Association publishes an annual brochure with a map and a list of the Association’s members. It is home to over forty galleries, five museums, three collections, seven art complexes, twelve art studios and five art fairs.
Every 2nd Saturday of each month a community wide Art Walk is held from 7-11pm. A popular event, galleries, art studios, alternative spaces and showrooms alike open their doors to the public for art, music and refreshments.
