Miami Art Week fills the city with fairs, galleries, installations, parties and pop-ups. But after hours of looking at art, many visitors start searching for something more interactive—an experience where they can create, connect and take home more than another photo.
Kick Art Workshop offers exactly that in Wynwood: a three-hour, artist-led experience where you turn your own sneakers into wearable art.
A hands-on Art Basel Miami activity in Wynwood
At Kick Art, your sneakers become the canvas. Bring one clean pair, choose your colors and work alongside experienced artists who help you plan the design, use the materials and finish the details. No previous art experience is required.
The workshop is indoors at Grails, 2800 N Miami Ave, placing you close to Wynwood murals, galleries, restaurants, bars and many Miami Art Week events. Food, cocktails, beer and nonalcoholic drinks are available during the experience.
Why it works during Miami Art Week
- It is interactive. You make art instead of only viewing it.
- It is beginner friendly. Artists guide you through the creative process.
- It is rain proof. The workshop provides an indoor break from outdoor crowds and weather.
- It becomes a Miami keepsake. You leave wearing a one-of-one design you created yourself.
- It fits different plans. Book a public class, a creative date, a friends’ outing or a private group experience.
A unique Miami experience for couples and friends
For couples searching for a creative date idea in Miami, the workshop gives you a shared activity that keeps conversation moving naturally. Friends can compare designs, trade ideas and continue the day with food, drinks, murals or nightlife nearby.
Each public-workshop quantity equals one guest. Couples should book two seats in the same scheduled class.
Private Art Basel events for groups and corporate teams
Kick Art can also produce private Miami Art Week workshops, client entertainment, corporate team building, VIP sessions and branded activations. Programs can be tailored for approximately four to 100 guests and hosted at Grails or Spanglish in Wynwood, or brought to a hotel, office, conference, stadium or private event location.
Depending on the event, customization can extend beyond the workshop itself. Kick Art can develop branded lookbooks, curated design directions, custom color palettes, sneaker sourcing, laces, charms, buttons, boxes, tissue, stickers, signage and guest-facing displays. Food menus, drinks, full-bar service and private-room options can also be coordinated.
What to bring to the sneaker workshop
Each guest brings one clean pair of sneakers. New or gently used leather or synthetic sneakers generally provide the best surface. Kick Art supplies the paints, brushes, markers, tools, creative materials and artist guidance.
How to include Kick Art in your Miami Art Week plans
Public sessions are best for individual guests, couples and small groups who want a scheduled workshop. Larger groups, companies and brands should inquire early so availability, staffing, venue space, food and beverage service, sneaker sourcing and custom production can be planned properly.
