Beginning at 6pm, today Friday, September 5, 2015, 23+ Miami artists will take center stage as part of the “At Home Art” feature at the Miami Home Design and Remodeling Show.

Included in this weekend’s show are live painting demonstrations, a new Urban ArtSpace featuring interactive painting performances and exhibit by popular street artists: Atomik, Abstrk, Trek6, Nicole Salgar, Luis Valle, and Don Rimx; four curated art exhibit spaces; as well as exhibits presented by Viernes Culturales and The Coconut Grove Art Festival and their 2015 Poster Artist, Duaiv.

Among the many artists featured, the community can catch a rare glimpse of a sculpture by acclaimed Cuban artist, Jose Bedia. Bedia’s work is a replica of his public art sculpture titled, “Dueños de las Estrellas” located next to the Intercontinental Hotel at Biscayne Blvd. in Downtown Miami.

Bedia’s work along with a painting by Emil Bodourov have inspired Cuban-American designers Jorge Noa and Pedro Balmaseda to create a room that will be dedicated to Emmy award-winning, Univision news anchor Ambrosio Hernandez.
