Founded by curator Amy Morton in 2010 in Washington, DC, Morton Fine Art (MFA) is a fine art gallery and curatorial group that collaborates with art collectors and visual artists to inspire fresh ways of acquiring contemporary art. Firmly committed to the belief that art collecting can be cultivated through an educational stance, MFA's mission is to provide accessibility to museum-quality contemporary art through a combination of substantive exhibitions and a welcoming platform for dialogue and exchange of original voice. Morton Fine Art specializes in a stellar roster of nationally and internationally renowned artists as well as has an additional focus on artists of the African Diaspora.

  • @richardbeaversgallery est. 2007, is a Brooklyn based contemporary art gallery who is committed to facilitating a dialogue amongst emerging and mid-career artists that investigate social and political issues at the forefront of the Black community. “We have a keen concentration on work and media that articulates urban visual culture. We establish access, education and pride for people of African descent.” . . . Image Pictured: Zwelethu Machepha “Pat Mautloa”, 2019. With a creative expression that is both figurative and abstracted, Zwelethu Machepha observes, digests and redefines what he sees in the urban and contemporary spaces around him. Working in a variety of different mediums but most notably drawing, and printmaking Machepha serves to offer voices for those in the background and fridges of our urban living. . . . Richard Beavers Gallery will present works by Genesis Tramaine and Zwelethu Machepha (@izwelethu.machepha ). Visit during #miamiartweek December 2 - December 8, at the Historic Alfred I DuPont Building in Downtown Miami, on the second floor.

  • N’namdi Contemporary (@nnamdi_gallery ) returns to Prizm in 2019 with works by Patrick Quarm (@_quarm), Rashaun D. Rucker (@detroitruck) and Stephen Arboite (@seleck) . . . Arboite’s work considers beauty outside of classical aesthetic paradigms and places an emphasis on the “ethereal consciousness of the body.” For his desire to capture and harbor spirit, Arboite veered ever so lightly to the abstract and grotesque. As a result, his work has taken on a more intuitive quality. The artist typically begins his experiments with a coffee base…layers seem to swim amongst one another in pools and drips tiered with dried pigments, while inks and otherwise diluted colors stream and explode. It’s an orchestral effect, conducted vibrantly. . . . Pictured Image: Stephen Arboite “Tusajigwe (We Are Blessed)”, 2019. Visit during #miamiartweek December 2 - December 8, at the Historic Alfred I DuPont Building in Downtown Miami, on the second floor.
