PAMM welcomes some 4,700 guests to signature Miami Art Week event

Pérez Art Museum Miami on Dec. 7 welcomed nearly 4,700 members and art world VIPs for PAMM Presents, the museum’s signature Art Week celebration, featuring music by DJ Maseo of De La Soul, Young Paris, and Holly Hunt.

The evening began with a Veuve Clicquot Rich toast to artists to include a special tribute to Miami-based artists, led by PAMM director Franklin Sirmans. Poet Aja Monet closed out the toast with a poetry reading of several works. Guests explored the galleries and marveled at special exhibition “Dara Friedman: Perfect Stranger,” the artist’s first mid-career survey and the largest presentation of her work to date.

Outside on PAMM’s east terrace and beach, guests walked into a magically transformed space by Kim Crawford and La Croix, featuring interactive activations and immersive environments. The exclusive Director’s Lounge, overlooking Biscayne Bay, was equally as stunning with stylish Absolut Elyx bars featuring its signature copper accents throughout.

Local metal band Holly Hunt kicked off the festivities with an invigorating set. Young Paris kept the party going with a performance featuring a new wave of Afrobeats and international vibes. The night culminated with DJ Maseo, whose set featured an eclectic mix of disco, funk, soul, ’80s, old school, and more.

Notable guests of the evening included Jarobi White from A Tribe Called Quest; reality TV star Angela Simmons; Emmy and Peabody award-winning anchor Sam Champion; industrial designer Karim Rashid; models Polina Askeri and Kristina Tsirekidze, and artists Diego Bianchi, Edouard Duval-Carrié, Elizabet Cerviño, Tomás Esson, Feilce Grodin, Hew Locke, Beatriz Milhazes, Sandra Ramos, and TYPOE.
