From Spray Cans to Storefronts

Wynwood, Miami used to be a quiet neighborhood full of empty warehouses and rundown buildings. But everything changed when artists began covering the walls with colorful murals and powerful graffiti. What started as street art turned into a movement—and now Wynwood is one of the coolest spots in Miami, full of visitors, small businesses, restaurants, music, and creativity! Art brought life, energy, and opportunity back to the neighborhood.
