Miami, FL – April 7, 2018 – Locust Projects kicked off its 20th year as Miami’s longest running alternative art space with a Warhol Silver Factory-inspired party held at Miami Design District‘s new Paradise Plaza Event Space. More than 700 of Miami’s who’s who of arts supporters and hippest creatives dressed in shimmery silver to match the head-to-toe silver decor, enjoyed delicious cocktails and tasty bites, and shopped high-end luxury auction and a stellar Paddle8 Silent Art Auction with works by leading contemporary artists. A young “Andy” channeling the 20th-century Pop-art icon gave everyone a chance at their 15-minutes of fame at the Polaroid booth.
