Dennis Rodriguez and his partners launched a spectacular and private pre Basel event titled ‘Need Money For Art – Amelia Art x Porsche Vintage Edition.’ Which featured a collaboration with Miami based artist Alex Mijares unveiling his new Trancao’ series and of course leaving a splash of his work on the custom ‘need money for Porsche’ t-shirts.

Artist Alexander Mijares, presented his piece “TRANCAO,” a sculpture depicting an unfinished game of dominoes, symbolizing four players who left for America escaping Castro’s coup and thus the title Trancao (the game shut down).The piece is traveling from the Yards to Fiola Miami on December 5, 2023, where Mijares will be hosting a fusion of food and art through a special tasting menu inspired by Mijares and executive chef Daniel Ganem.

The Yards at Amelia, led by Jencarlos Canela and Dennis Rodriguez, is a new multi-purpose venue in the heart of the Amelia District and the home for the ‘23 pre ArtBasel show. The district welcomed over 200 private invitees for a remarkable evening drawing in art and Porsche enthusiasts from all over the county. The evening came alive with live performances by Baby Lores, DJ Zeus from E11even, and Puerto Rican 2x Grammy Winner Marlow Rosado.

The event highlighted the works of Fredy Villamil, Alex Mijares, Julio Cesar Delgado, Juanma Garcia, Alejandro Jurado, and Maria Karla Watson. Along with a very special appearance from Amsterdam’s Renssen Galleries featuring their Renssen & Picasso pieces.

In addition to art and cars, The Yards offered their curated food truck atmosphere where guests and community enjoyed a variety of options ranging from pizza to gelatos, a great ending to the welcoming of art week in the 305, the Amelia district way.
