Abstract
The purpose of my research was to find out the origins of the artwork within the neighborhood of Wynwood in Miami. As a Miami native and art student myself, my goal was to overall understand the art history of this community and answer the question of how it became Miami’s known art district. My research was conducted, through various articles representing in different perspectives such as having sources from the graffiti community, reporters, and even home associations selling in the Wynwood area. As well as using online resources, I also explored the neighborhood many of times and talked to locals to understand the place at its core. My findings led me to realize it took the cooperation of artists, immigrants, and business owners over the course of 100 years to create the art district we see today.
