On Sunday, October 25, 2026, art moves beyond gallery walls and into the streets and historic hospitality spaces of South Beach with a special Hispafest 2026 Art Walk.
The morning begins at 11:30 AM at The Leslie Hotel on Ocean Drive before continuing north to Nassau Suite Hotel and Blue Lavender Cafe & Market on Collins Avenue.
At Nassau Suite and Blue Lavender, visitors will discover the work of Miami-based multidisciplinary artist Marine Fonteyne, whose practice combines photography with textile, embroidery, fiber, collage, sculpture, and installation.
The Art Walk offers more than an opportunity to see the exhibitions. Guests will also have the chance to meet participating artists and curator Nubia Abaji, learn more about the ideas behind the works, and experience contemporary art through conversation and personal exchange.
The walk concludes at Blue Lavender Cafe & Market, where artworks continue through the café environment and guests can gather for refreshments.
Created by the Bright Foundation, Hispafest connects diverse communities through art, supporting artists and celebrating creativity, cultural exchange, and shared experiences. By opening Nassau Suite Hotel and Blue Lavender Cafe to the program, the spaces become part of a broader cultural experience in which art, architecture, hospitality, and community meet.
The participating exhibitions are curated by Nubia Abaji, with Verónica Medina as Curatorial Collaborator and Cultural Host.
Visitors should wear comfortable shoes, as the experience includes a short walk between the participating properties. Valet and public parking options are available nearby.
