Celebrating PRIDE Month with art and community

Join us for Noche de Arte, collaboARTive’s free weekly art experience at Gallery 100 inside InterContinental Miami—where hotel guests, locals, and visitors come together for a relaxed night of art, conversation, and creative play.

Each Monday, you’ll meet a featured artist, enjoy light bites provided by InterContinental Miami, and take part in a hands-on collage activity—no experience needed, just show up and make something.

JUNE 2026 ARTIST IN RESIDENCE: O. GUSTAVO PLASCENCIA

A key part of the experience: the Artist-in-Residence creates live during the event, breaking down the borders between artist and viewer and inviting everyone into the process in real time.

Celebrating PRIDE Month in June

PRIDE Month is a time to celebrate LGBTQ+ identity, creativity, and community—and to reaffirm that everyone deserves to feel safe, seen, and welcome. At collaboARTive, that aligns with what Noche de Arte is all about: bringing people together through art, conversation, and shared creative play.

This month at Noche de Arte, we’re honoring PRIDE by uplifting LGBTQ+ artists and allies, making space for self-expression, and celebrating the joy that comes from showing up as your full self. Join us in June as we create, connect, and keep building a community where everyone belongs.

“We have broken boundaries and provided a wonderful opportunity for local artists to showcase their works, engage with their black book and interact with our hotel guests. Thank you all for your support and partnership and we look forward to continuing to make magic together! ” — Gina Genna, Dir. of Marketing, InterContinental Miami

About the Artist

O. Gustavo Plascencia is a visual artist and educator whose creative work documents local ecosystems and practices walking methodologies to create a record of his surroundings. He explores the intersection of photography, nature, and memory, presenting landscapes as silent witnesses to personal and collective histories. His practice also focuses on the duality between the personal and the communal, and the self and society. Plascencia attended the Escuela de Artes Plásticas “Ruben Herrera” in Saltillo, Coahuila, Mexico, before immigrating to the USA. He has held several academic appointments at the University of North Texas, Memphis College of Art, and Lycoming College before being appointed Dean of Visual Arts at the New World School of the Arts in Miami, FL.

Now in it’s fifth year of programming, Noche de Arte is presented by collaboARTive in partnership with InterContinental Miami Hotel, Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau, Miami Downtown Development Authority, and with the support of the Miami-Dade County Department of Cultural Affairs, the Cultural Affairs Council and the Miami-Dade County Mayor and Board of County Commissioners. Sponsored in part by the State of Florida through the Division of Arts and Culture and the National Endowment for the Arts.

Located amongst one of the most prominent pedestrian promenades for creativity and art, Lincoln Road is excited to announce the launch of its 2026 Request for Proposals (RFP) for temporary public art installations as part of Art on Lincoln: Sculpture, Installations and More.

Following the success of last year’s inaugural Call to Artists program, the initiative now expands into a formal RFP process, inviting artists and artist teams to submit both their professional qualifications and a specific proposed artwork—either an existing piece or a newly conceived concept—for installation on Lincoln Road, that welcomes more than 10.8 million visitors annually.

The selected work will be supported by a project budget of $75,000 and showcased across all Lincoln Road Business Improvement District (LRBID) platforms, providing extensive visibility and recognition in one of Miami Beach’s most visited destinations.

Scope of Work
Artists are encouraged to propose either new or existing sculptural works, immersive installations, interactive pieces or mixed-media artworks suitable for temporary outdoor exhibition along Lincoln Road. Proposed installations should enhance the public realm, reflect the energy, diversity and cultural richness of Lincoln Road and engage a broad, family-friendly audience. The selected artist will also be responsible for providing a maintenance plan for the duration of the installation, which will be on display from November 2026 through May 2027.

How to Apply
Submissions are accepted from local, national and international artists, and collaborative proposals are permitted, though teams must designate a lead artist or representative. Full submission guidelines and application details are available at lincolnroad.com/arts-culture/request-for-proposal/. The deadline for submissions is June 8, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. EST.

Selection Process
Submissions will be reviewed by a panel of LRBID executive board members, who will evaluate proposals based on professional qualifications, creativity, feasibility, artistic merit and alignment with Lincoln Road’s cultural mission. The LRBID reserves the right to select one winning proposal or decline to award the project if submissions do not meet program standards.

History Fort Lauderdale presents “Three by the River,” an Artists-in-Residence annual exhibition, from June 4 to June 30. Featured will be acrylics by Constance Ivana, mixed media works by Stephanie McMillan, and portraits by Florencia Clement de Grandprey.

Constance Ivana is a Fort Lauderdale–based mural artist and visual creative passionate about creating bold, vibrant artwork that sparks reflection, conversation, and joy. Her art is inspired by social justice, Black stories, women’s voices, and nature.

Stephanie McMillan is a third-generation Fort Lauderdale resident and artist. Her distinctive style combines affectionate humor with the bright colors of the sunny tropics. A graduate of the
Tisch School of the Arts at NYU, with a focus in animation, she began drawing illustrations and editorial cartoons, for which she won several Florida Press Club awards. This led to 25 years as a widely published freelance cartoonist and illustrator producing award-winning editorial cartoons, syndicated comic strips, comic journalism, and graphic novels. In recent years she has returned to painting, drawing, and mixed media assemblage. She is the author/illustrator of several books including As the World Burns and The Beginning of the American Fall: A Comics Journalist Inside the Occupy Wall Street Movement (Seven Stories Press). Her original sketches, illustrations, comics, and papers are archived at the Billy Ireland Cartoon Library and Museum at Ohio State University.

Born and raised in southern Spain, Florencia Clement de Grandprey is a self-taught mixed media figurative artist whose mission is to empower and inspire through meaningful and uplifting artwork. Her artistic journey began in 2014 when she left her full-time job in interior design to follow her true passion: painting. Clement de Grandprey has developed a style without rules, granting her the freedom to express herself fully. She blends her love for the classic masters with contemporary design, resulting in unique mixed media paintings. Her award-winning work celebrates strong, confident, soul-aligned men and women. She aims to highlight our unique, perfectly imperfect nature, bringing out our strengths and beauty as a reminder of who we truly are. She ensures that a variety of ethnicities are represented, making everyone feel seen and honored in her art.
History Fort Lauderdale’s Artists-in-Residence Annual Show is sponsored by the following funds at the Community Foundation of Broward: Jan and Ed Crocker Unrestricted Fund, Leo M. and Alice J. Rutten Fund and The Frederick A. DeLuca Foundation Broward Community Fund.
