Green Space Miami

Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM) is honored to announce a significant gift from the Green Family Foundation in support of the Caribbean Cultural Institute (CCI), a program aimed at advancing the study of Caribbean art while providing opportunities for exchange and collaboration across the region and its diasporic communities. The gift creates new collaborations with The Kimberly Green Latin American and Caribbean Center at Florida International University FIU), and Green Space Miami.

This multi-year gift establishes new collaborative pathways with FIU and Green Space Miami, GFF’s platform for supporting Miami artists, co-founded by Dr. Kimberly Green and Michelangelo Bendandi. Through this partnership, CCI Fellows will gain access to FIU’s extensive Caribbean and Latin American research collections, archives, and libraries. FIU will also publish fellows’ research, expanding its reach across academic and international audiences.

“The Green Family Foundation has always championed access, equity, and cultural exchange,” said Dr. Kimberly Green, President of GFF. “Since 1991, GFF—founded by Ambassador Steven J. Green and Dorothea Green—has been committed to education in Miami-Dade County. Supporting CCI means investing directly in the next generation of thinkers, scholars, and artists shaping our future.”

The gift will also support paid undergraduate internships for FIU students, connecting emerging scholars to CCI’s research and curatorial initiatives. Green Space Miami will additionally host co-programmed public forums, exhibitions, and annual gatherings that bring together artists, advocates, creatives, and educators from across the Caribbean and Miami-Dade County.

MIAMI’S ART BOOM:
EXPLORE THE CULTURAL REVOLUTION
THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 2025 | 7 PM - 9 PM
LOWE ART MUSEUM I 1301 STANFORD DR., CORAL GABLES, FL, 33146

On November 20, two weeks before Art Basel Miami Beach 2025, join us to discover how Miami’s local art community transformed the city into a hub of global artistic exchange.

This panel conversation explores how a constellation of visionary artists, curators, galleries, and museums-shaped in part by the rich legacy of the Caribbean diaspora-ignited a cultural revolution that propelled the region onto the international stage, as outlined in Elisa Turner’s new book, Miamis Art Boom: From Local Vision to International Presence.

The program features collector Kimberly Green, and artist Edouard Duval-Carrié, in conversation with art critic and journalist Elisa Turner, moderated by University of Miami Associate Professor of Art History, Erica Moiah James.
