Artist Bradley Theodore made a creative appearance at Sexy Fish, where guests were treated to a live painting experience. The artist made bold rounds of the restaurant – even getting behind the music to liven the listening experience – while guests dined on sushi, sashimi, filet and sea bass.

Theodore became popular from his street murals of fashion icons and has since worked on popular ad campaigns, including one for Moët, provided images for major record labels and became the subject of a documentary airing at the Tribeca Film Festival.

Miami Art Week 2025 ignited as ICA Miami welcomed an elite crowd for its VIP Opening Night, presented in partnership with W Magazine. The ultra-exclusive gathering drew the city’s most influential collectors, tastemakers, and cultural insiders, along with a standout appearance by the legendary George Clinton, setting the tone for a week where art and style take center stage.

Guests flowed seamlessly between the museum’s outdoor terrace and its interior galleries. Outside, a striking digital art installation bathed the space in color as a live DJ set the vibes.  Cocktails in hand, guests mingled beneath the glow, while inside  attendees strolled through five captivating exhibitions by  Joyce Pensato,  Richard Hunt, Andreas Schulze, Masaomi Yasunaga, and  Igshaan Adams. Yasunaga himself engaged with guests, offering intimate insights into his poetic, earth-formed works, a highlight of the evening.

Tuesday afternoon, amid the buzz of Miami Art Week, the YoungArts Jewel Box hosted the highly anticipated opening of Sam Moyer: Against Time, a striking new exhibition that underscores the artist’s evolving dialogue with materiality and transformation.

With her latest body of work, Moyer pushes boundaries, inviting viewers to reflect on the delicate yet inevitable forces of growth, decay, and reinvention.

The intimate opening drew a diverse crowd of art lovers, collectors, and creatives, all of whom gathered to engage with Moyer’s thought-provoking pieces. In true Miami fashion, the evening was as much about conversation as it was about art — guests sipped bespoke cocktails while navigating the powerful visual narrative Moyer had crafted. The artist herself was present, sharing insights and connecting with collectors, adding a personal touch to an already vibrant atmosphere.

On view from December 2, 2025, through January 18, 2026. As part of her ongoing commitment to mentorship, Moyer will also take on a pivotal role at the National YoungArts Week this January, guiding the next generation of artists.
