--> New Open Call For Art! SaveArtSpace is proud to present As Above, So Below, a public art exhibition on bus shelter ad space during Miami Art Week in Miami, FL, opening November 27, 2026, curated by Marlon Pruz. As Above, So Below explores the idea that the patterns of the universe are reflected within us, and that the inner world is inseparable from the outer one. The theme considers the relationship between the cosmic to the earthly and the microscopic to the infinite. Similar to how electrons orbiting an atomic nucleus mimics the planets orbiting the sun, the golden ratio and other recurring patterns found throughout nature further suggest an underlying order connecting all forms of life. "As curator, I will be looking for work that creates a strong visual or conceptual dialogue between these realms, imagery that connects the body to nature, humanity to the cosmos, consciousness to environment, and the intimate to the infinite." —Marlon Pruz. Artists of all ages and talents are invited to submit their artwork between September 23 and October 19, 2026 in order to be considered for the exhibition. This is an opportunity to have your work placed on bus shelter ad space in Miami, FL, during the biggest art event of the year.

--> The Private Collections That Shaped Miami’s Contemporary Art Landscape. Miami’s emergence as a global contemporary art destination was not built overnight. While artists, galleries, museums, and international art fairs have played essential roles, a powerful network of collectors helped transform the city’s cultural landscape. Through visionary acquisitions, philanthropic efforts, and the creation of public-facing institutions, these private collections have preserved artistic legacies while introducing Miami audiences to some of the most important voices in contemporary art. Featuring the influential collections and cultural legacies of Rosa and Carlos de la Cruz of the de la Cruz Collection, Mera and Don Rubell of the Rubell Museum, Jorge M. Pérez and his philanthropic contributions to Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM) and El Espacio 23, Martin Z. Margulies of The Margulies Collection at the Warehouse, Ella Fontanals-Cisneros and the CIFO - The Cisneros Fontanals Art Foundation, and Norman and Irma Braman. Through decades of collecting, philanthropy, and dedication to the arts, these visionaries have helped shape Miami’s contemporary art landscape, supporting artists, museums, cultural institutions, and audiences around the world.

--> Little Haiti & Little River: Where Miami’s Next Art Story Is Taking Shape. Miami’s art map has long been defined by destinations such as Wynwood, the Miami Design District and South Beach, but some of the city’s most compelling creative energy is taking shape beyond those familiar routes. In Little Haiti and Little River, contemporary art is unfolding within a much broader cultural landscape—one shaped by Haitian and Caribbean heritage, independent artists, galleries, studios, photography organizations, music, food, design and community. The result is a neighborhood experience that feels less like a traditional art district and more like a living cultural ecosystem, where contemporary creative practice exists alongside longstanding traditions and local businesses.

--> Renowned Autistic Artist Vito Bonanno’s Artwork in the Corporate Collections of AMAZON and Google. Internationally collected artist Vito Bonanno taps into the daily emotional and social challenges of living with autism, placing his innermost feelings onto canvas. The New England-based artist's work is image and concept-driven and embedded in his personal philosophy. His art contains the essence of his life, feelings, thoughts, and dreams, coupled with objects or topics that "get stuck in his head", including traffic lights, grids, ceiling fans, graffiti, and pop culture. Corporate clients include AMAZON, Google, and The Hartford. Bonanno was diagnosed with PDD/Autism just before his 4th birthday. Because he was language delayed, his parents and teachers developed strategies that tapped into his high visual acuity, utilizing storyboard styles to relay academic and social information. He was also encouraged to draw in storyboard format to express his feelings. The storyboard grid remains prominent in his work and studio preparation today and is a poignant reminder of a boy who was trapped in his own mind.
