Miami, FL – December 1, 2022 – Feria Clandestina at the 7 Seas Motel is a four-day Miami art fair that in its first edition hosted artists, galleries, and independent projects from Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Netherlands, Spain, the United States, and the United Kingdom.

Director/cultural entrepreneur Nuria Richards and real estate visionary Sagar Desai have partnered to provide discounted room rates and exhibition space to 40 projects from eight countries during a season that has become cost prohibitive for both locals and visitors, challenging the rich cultural exchange tradition of the city.

Special projects include installations and activations by artists Yasmin Spiro (Chicago), Claudio Marcotulli (Miami), and Andre Komatsu (Sao Paulo). The program included the Recording Exhibition titled Lop-Off Sessions, curated by Tony Kapel and Maitejosune Urrechaga from Houndstooth Cottage and release of the book Lucid Dreams by artist Gustavo Oviedo.

Clandestina was founded by Nuria Richards in 2019 as a collateral art initiative and is a channel of participation for artists, galleries, and independent projects. Clandestina partners with the local and international community to create ecosystems that promote curatorial opportunities and cultural exchange.

The iconic 7 Seas Hotel is one of the oldest motels within historic Biscayne Boulevard in the Miami Modern neighborhood, also known as MiMo. The two-story building was set for Donnie Brasco, Dexter, and No Pain No Gain. The Property is undergoing renovation under the stewardship of Sagar Desai and Activate Hospitality.
