It all felt very familiar, as if the ghost of 2016 Wynwood had rematerialized. And that's why it's hard to be enthusiastic about this energy when one considers it as a function of gentrification. You can see by the newly-painted walls and changing nature of nearby businesses — a gym has opened next to Primary, while Dale Zine and the Fountainhead art studios nearby have both been forced to vacate — that the people pushing this transformation want to make it into the next Wynwood. Little River, recently voted one of the "Coolest Neighborhoods in the World" by Time Out, and Little Haiti to the south are still inhabited by tons of Haitian folks who would be negatively affected by rising property values. One has to wonder how long it will be before even the galleries are forced to look for cheaper digs elsewhere.
With all this in mind, here are more new art shows to see around town this month, in order of opening date. Unless otherwise noted, all listed events are free and open to the public.
