Miami, FL – March 12, 2015 – An intimate art discussion and dinner featuring legendary artist Julian Schnabel took place at the Brickell Flatiron Design and Sales Gallery, bringing together the movers and shakers of Miami’s art, design, and real estate development forces. The event was hosted by Ugo Colombo, Founder and CEO of CMC Group, and Bonnie Clearwater, Director and Chief Curator of Nova Southeastern University’s Museum of Art Fort Lauderdale, who engaged Schnabel with questions about his experiences in the art world and his inspiration for designing Brickell Flatiron’s public spaces. Prominently situated at the epicenter of downtown Miami’s financial district, Brickell Flatiron is a decidedly unique take on Miami condo living and a collaboration among cultural icons. The building is the latest project from CMC Group, Miami’s premier real estate development firm with a portfolio of properties distinctively designed as “livable works of art.”
