Miami Art Space (MAP) is located at:
244 NW 35th Street, Miami (Wynwood Art District), FL.

As mentioned before, the Closing Gala and Silent Auction for the MGLFF was held here. The artwork currently showcased is by Kenneth Treister who is credited with the design for the Miami Beach Holocaust Memorial. The pieces in the museum were all large and there were a few wood sculptures.
The facade for the building is a colorful installation called "Confetti", also by Treister. The interior is good as a multipurpose venue. You can have an art show or entertain for an event. The staff is friendly and helpful. The drawback is if you are to have a large evening event, there is limited parking and would have to set up a valet system or pay for off duty police security (which I recommend anyway).
The building itself is located a few blocks from the Midtown Building (host to Target, and other stores and residences). Though close to main streets, it is still in the middle of a residential neighborhood.
I'm glad there is growth, but it does not look like it is really benfitting those who reside in the neighborhood. My mom worked at the Clinica Penalver in the neighborhood and Holy Cross Episcopal Church is down the street, so I know a bit about the predominantly Hispanic neighborhood.
Note: The artwork shown is all by Kenneth Treister.
