“THE ART OF LOVE” event was held during Art Basel Miami 2023 at Wynwood Bay in Miami’s Edgewater neighborhood on December 8, 2023, bringing together art enthusiasts, collectors, and culture connoisseurs. ART & SOUL: Hamptons, SIGNATURE BRIDE, and Lipstickroyalty Agency collaborated to create an unforgettable experience that sparked conversation about Black art.
Featuring over 150 guests, the event was a dazzling display of artistic talent. There were works by emerging and established BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) artists, like Alvin Clayton-Fernandes, Art Sims, Jeremy Turpin, Jennifer D. Turner, Dani Galleri, and Kudzai B. Mutasa. A testament to Black art’s ability to inspire and unite, each piece contributed to a larger narrative about its impact.
Aside from painting, sculpture, and poster art, the event celebrated art in a variety of forms. Participants engaged deeply with the art and artists in every corner of the venue. Conversations about Black art were sparked and connections were made.
Highlights of the evening included a fashion show by Miami’s Mr. CEO Collections and Kies Boutique. DJ Chris set the mood, and Margaret Cocktails, Uncle Nearest, and Vie de Rêve provided the cocktails. Photo booths added an interactive element to the multi-sensory experience.
Alvin Clayton-Fernandes and Jeremy Turpin shared their thoughts on the event. Clayton-Fernandes said, “Art Basel is what the world needs right now.”. It was such a beautiful display of our humanity and the diversity of cultures expressed through art. The SIGNATURE BRIDE fashion show certainly added to the flavor and beauty of the weekend. Looking forward to next year.” Turpin added, “Showing this year with SIGNATURE BRIDE during Art Basel marks a new beginning to a new journey, and I’m grateful for a great experience.”
This event would not have been possible without the support of event partners and sponsors, including Southampton African American Museum, HBCU Connect, Margaret Cocktails, Uncle Nearest, Vie de Rêve, Wynwood Bay, and Balloon Bar Miami. An extra touch of luxury came in the VIP Gift Bags, filled with products from various sponsors.
As “THE ART OF LOVE” takes its place among the highlights of Art Basel Miami 2023, the organizers express their gratitude to the artists, sponsors, guests, and the vibrant Miami community. This event not only showcased the incredible talent within the art world but also served as a testament to the enduring power of Black artists and Black art as a source of inspiration and connection.
Graphic Artist and Art Director Art Sims, who participated in the event, shared his thoughts: “I would like to thank Yaya Reyes and SIGNATURE BRIDE magazine for including me and my work in the amazing THE ART OF LOVE event in Miami. It was a beautiful evening with a great crowd. I was especially proud to share The Best Man movie poster because it really spoke to THE ART OF LOVE theme. The poster image captures the beauty of the cast with both the men and women smiling. And that joy is what I felt at this event. Great job!”
