Design District

Design District is located in Miami, Florida, is an entire series of streets that showcases the city's designs from artistic talents from across the world. It provides a fascinating shopping experience for art lovers and visitors.

The district creates an emotional experience for shoppers who love art. Pieces of artwork appear around each corner, ranging from exotic type dishes to antique furnishings. Originally known locally as the Buena Vista area, the district is situated in a northern, midtown neighborhood with exciting showrooms, bars, eateries, antique shops, boutique shops, design services and art galleries.

The district is home to more than one hundred and thirty outlets. Every month, on the second Saturday, community art evenings are held, starting at 7pm and ending at 10pm. It is one of many popular events held within the district for the general public that features not only art, but refreshments and live music. In fact, the district was the brainchild of Craig Robins, a passionate designer who bought up numerous buildings that were completely run-down and converted them into the artistic havens that they are today.

The Design District is open throughout the year and tours are available to highlight many historic aspects of the district. Whether looking for paintings or trying to find a unique sculpture for a souvenir, the district is a popular tourist attraction and local hangout for art lovers of all ages.
