Sun-Kissed, a love letter to Miami’s nightlife. Scenes from places such as Twist, on South Beach, and Willy’s, a gay bar that closed recently in Wynwood. As well as favorites like Over Under, Mac’s Club Deuce, Floyd, and Gramps, another Miami staple that is closing after 13 years. Schweiger’s paintings depict the artists experience within these spaces. In these spaces, her friends and loved ones dance, laugh, reapply lipstick, and drink between conversations. This series of works encapsulates her love for music, intimacy, and friendship, where moments of Miami’s familiar queer community are suspended in time. Through these scenes, Schweiger represents a Miami that may soon no longer exist. Eroded not only by development and time, but by the rising waters that threaten to reshape the city.

Shayla Marshall's installation, Blue Magick, is currently on view at Walgreens Windows!
Blue Magick is a site-specific installation that brings together personal experience, history, and collective memory to consider how cultural identity is shaped within everyday spaces. Interdisciplinary artist Shayla Marshall draws from her ongoing interest in “third spaces,” sites of gathering and belonging beyond home and work. Here, Shayla transforms familiar environments into extraordinary worlds where haircare aisles and living rooms merge into a shared space of communal care.
Location: 23rd Street and Collins Avenue, Miami Beach
