THE MIAMI REEF STAR

December 3 - 8

36th Street & Beachfront

A large-scale sculptural installation by @carlosbetancourtartist in collaboration with @albertolatorrearchitecture on the South Beach shoreline, curated by @xcaminos.

The Miami Reef Star is a prototype for the artists’ contribution to @thereefline, a stunning underwater installation that will span 90 feet in diameter beneath the waters of Miami Beach. Visible even from airplanes, this piece showcases a powerful blend of artistic vision and environmental stewardship, redefining creativity and conservation.

 Join us to celebrate The ReefLine’s mission of inspiring a collective commitment to ocean preservation by merging art, science, and conservation.

The ReefLine program for Miami Art Week will also feature:

*Voile/Toile – Toile/Voile by Daniel Buren, a regatta featuring sail boats adorned with the artist’s trademark colored stripes, curated by Ximena Caminos and Dodie Kazanjian.

*The Great Elephant Migration @greatelephantmigration, an installation of 100, life-sized Indian elephants crafted from lantana camara, one of the world’s top invasive weeds.
