Young Artist Initiative @ Cafeina
The Young Artist Initiative returned to Cafeina on March 4 for another evening showcase of local Miami music and live art. This month felt less crowded and more music-centric with a lineup including multiple bands, spoken word, live brass and a bongo accompanying Coco FM's upbeat, funky dj sets. Multiple artists - including Tiago Magro, ATOMIK, Cynthia Fleischmann & David de Fex - painted original pieces over the course of the night as the crowd meandered through the outside patio and adjacent dance halls.

Young Artist Initiative @ SLS
The Young Artist Initiative threw their best event yet on Friday, Jan 29 at SLS, drawing almost 2,000 people out to get down with local Miami music and art. The poolside cabanas were turned into individual artist tents filled with live painting and projections, while the courtyard was strung with lights and installation art. Two separate music halls featured a staggered lineup local djs + producers spinning their signature sounds concurrently. Photos for Young Artist Initiative.
Young Artist Initiative @ Cafeina
The Young Artist Initiative brought its monthly preview of local artists to Cafeina Wynwood on Friday, October 23. The party popped off earlier in the evening this month with music and the first live painting session starting at 7 p.m. - the patio was packed before 10 (which is an impressive feat for a city that's notoriously late to everything) and didn't start winding down until after 1 a.m. Over 1200 people trickled in to drink, dance, and enjoy the craft of some of Miami's up and coming audio and visual artists.

Young Artist Initiative @ Basement
Thursday, September 3, the Young Artist Initiative took over Basement Miami with a lineup of local artists who featured their work throughout the lounge. There were three small photo exhibits, four live painters, text design, a mobile 3-D installation on the skating rink, fashion-themed pop art, six consecutive DJs and one rapper spinning in two rooms concurrently.
The night started off slow, but picked up heavily after midnight - by mid-morning the basement was packed and still bumpin'. Over 1000 people came through to have a drink, dance, and support the local art community. Photos for Young Artist Initiative.
