Miami Art Week 2024 proved to be a vibrant celebration of creativity, culture, and storytelling, and one of its standout moments was the incredible event curated by Sugarcane Magazine & Wophafoundation at Green Space Miami.

On this special day, the spotlight was not just on art but on the power of Black stories, women in art, and the legacy of Nearest Green. This gathering brought together community, history, and creativity in an experience that was both inspiring and unforgettable.

Amplifying Black Stories: The Legacy of Nearest Green

At the heart of this event was the opportunity to share the story of Nearest Green, the first known African American master distiller whose impact on the whiskey industry has left an enduring legacy.

Through a beautifully curated activation, guests were immersed in the story of resilience, innovation, and excellence. The expertly crafted cocktails served during the event offered not just a taste of quality but a sip of history, allowing attendees to connect deeply with Green’s transformative narrative.

A Celebration of Women in Art and Photography

The event also honored the extraordinary contributions of women in art and photography. Nigerian-Canadian artist Kosi showcased her vibrant, story-rich work, which filled the space with a dynamic energy that sparked conversation and reflection. This celebration of women’s creativity extended beyond Kosi’s work to encompass the many women whose art and vision drive cultural conversations forward.

From the vivid photography that captured the essence of the event to the stunning artwork on display, the event was a testament to the vital role women play in shaping and sharing our collective stories.
