Wynwood Walls During Art Basel Miami Art Week
Miami, FL – December 3, 2016 – Internationally renowned for its exceptional, continually evolving collection of curated street art, Wynwood Walls has been the epicenter of the Wynwood Arts District since its launch in 2009. Following that debut, art lovers around the world eagerly look forward to the annual unveiling of new walls during Art Basel Miami Art Week.
