Fall '25 Art in the Gardens

Published on September 01, 2025

As the heat of summer gives way to the gentler rhythms of fall, Pinecrest Gardens comes alive with a season packed with music, visual art, theater, and community experiences that celebrate the diversity and creativity of Miami. From Caribbean and Latin American art to jazz under the stars and a wine tasting paired with live acoustic performances, the Gardens is offering something for everyone—whether you’re a longtime patron or first-time visitor. Here’s what to expect this September through November.

ART THAT REFLECTS & RESONATES

This fall, the visual arts take center stage beginning with Caribbean and Latin American Visions, an exhibition curated by Hartvest Project that opens to the public on September 6. The show brings together works by Miami-based artists whose roots span across the Caribbean and Latin America.

One special highlight of the exhibition is the inclusion of Grammy Award–winning jazz vocalist Cécile McLorin Salvant, who appears here not only as a performer but also as a visual artist. Born in Miami to Haitian and French-Guadeloupean parents, Salvant brings a distinctive voice—visually and musically—to the show, and her dual presence perfectly captures the spirit of cross-disciplinary creativity Pinecrest Gardens aims to cultivate.

Later in the season, a bold new exhibition titled Sneaker Stories opens on November 15, exploring the intersection of graffiti art and sneaker culture. The exhibition showcases rare sneakers and artworks by legends like Futura, KAWS, Claw, and Rammellzee, highlighting the global influence of street art aesthetics and the artists who defined them. 

Just in time for the holiday season, Pinecrest Gardens hosts Walter Mercado – A Special Exhibition a tribute to the legendary Puerto Rican astrologer and TV personality. On view from November 16 through December 30, with a preview opening on November 15, the exhibition showcases ten of Walter Mercado’s iconic costumes, highlighting his decades-long career and cultural impact. Beloved across Latin America and the U.S., Mercado shared daily astrological wisdom with “mucho, mucho amor” to more than 120 million viewers at the height of his fame. This collaboration with the Gonzalo Rodriguez and Gustavo Blanco Collection celebrates his legacy in style—and stardust.
