In honor of our “People” issue, which will hit newsstands November 17, New Times proudly presents “100 Creatives,” where we feature Miami’s cultural superheroes. Have suggestions for future profiles? Let us know in the comments.
#99: Emmett Moore
Working at the intersections of art and design, Emmett Moore has carved a name for himself on the local and national gallery scenes. His sculptures borrow heavily from the world of modern furniture design, with a local’s sense of style. The South Floridian was also a graduate of Design and Architecture Senior High School before earning at BFA from the Rhode Island School of Design, and he returned to Miami instead of pursing a career in New York. In South Florida, he makes pieces based on this region’s offbeat vibe. His work has been shown at the de la Cruz Collection, Design Miami, and the Bass, among many others.
