Art Days is back! Art Days is a collaboration between the Miami Downtown Development Authority (Miami DDA) and the cultural spaces and artists residing in Downtown Miami. Tropicult has been a proud partner of Art Days since its inception and we are honored to contribute to its exponential growth as together we make Downtown Miami an international cultural destination. The third annual Art Days includes 170 free events across a multitude of cultural venues throughout Downtown Miami.
This year, thanks to a micro-grant program to support projects created uniquely for Art Days, Art Days will feature a wide selection of temporal art projects that explore a variety of creative fields including performance, art, music, dance, art education and more. One of these being the Art Days public art program – Fringe. Fringe projects are site-determined works that integrate, investigate and interrogate some of Downtown Miami’s less conventional spaces in a wide range of practices including installation to performance.
Today we want to share the work of Kevin Arrow and Barron Sherer. The artists created a digital online media project via Instagram – PHOTOSTREAM. The digital multimedia collection will live online but will also be streaming at the Miami Center for Architecture and Design during Art Days.

Amanda Sanfilippo will once again curate this years Art Days Fringe projects. Tip of the hat to Ms. Sanfilippo, last years projects were pretty impressive! Plus, this year the Miami Downtown Development Authority has partnered with the Miami-Dade County Art in Public Places to commission six dynamic and explorative temporary public artworks made by Miami-based contemporary artists; Jenny Brillhart, Domingo Castillo, Moira Holohan, Nicolas Lobo, Emmett Moore, Kevin Arrow, and Barron Sherer.
As a special project created for this years Art Days Fringe Projects, PHOTOSREAM is an evolving, multi-image video projection incorporating hundreds of images continuously captured within a mile radius Miami Center for Architecture & Design in Downtown Miami. Using the Instagram hashtag #DDAFF2014, artists Kevin Arrow and Barron Sherer circulate and instigate the sharing of photographs of architecture, quotidian street views and landmarks to address a changing Miami cityscape and create an instant historical archive. Through the use of the methodologies of arrangement and presentation common to archivists, historians, and curators, Arrow and Sherer concurrently celebrate civic history and change.
Recently, Barron Sherer and Kevin Arrow did a call for entries for the #DDAFF2014 and over a hundred new tags were added overnight on Instagram. The public is encouraged to add to this living archive and digital projection by adding #DDAFF2014 to Instagram posts originating from approximately a one-mile radius of the Center. Increasingly shared and viral, #DDAFF2014 will continue to exist on Instagram so join in!
