A leisurely summer stroll down Lincoln Road will look a little more like a curated gallery hop on Thursday, June 19, as the Lincoln Road Business Improvement District (BID) continues its monthly Lincoln Road Art Walk in tandem with the City of Miami Beach’s Culture Crawl. Returning for its second installment, the free cultural program turns the historic pedestrian promenade into an alfresco art experience—this time with new giveaways, meet-the-artist moments, and a fresh set of installations designed to engage both the art-curious and seasoned collectors.
The event runs from 6 to 8 p.m. and stretches across participating galleries from 612 to 1119 Lincoln Road. Updated signage and postcard-style maps will make it easy for guests to create their own self-guided path through the evening’s featured programming.
Curated Exhibitions and Collector Perks
Start the evening with a toast at the Romero Britto Fine Art Gallery, where champagne flows alongside a guided tour of the artist’s latest exhibition. Guests who make a purchase will leave with a complimentary Britto-branded hat.
Over at LUMAS Gallery, visitors can sip complimentary cocktails while browsing a contemporary collection of limited-edition works—and take home a free mini artwork as a keepsake. Just a short walk away, LIK Fine Art invites guests in with white wine and a close-up look at its signature large-format landscape photography.
The FIU Miami Beach Urban Studios (MBUS) gallery will open the doors to The Way We Gather, a group show exploring the ways in which Black Americans come together across cultural and emotional spaces. Artists Chris Friday, Elyssa Llanso, and Donelric Owens will be present to speak about their work during the reception. Visitors should take the elevator to the fourth floor of 420 Lincoln Road, with directional signage provided at the entrance.
Art Meets Pride and Public Engagement
This month also brings a new spotlight to Facundo Yebne, the artist behind Duck With Pride—a colorful installation of large-scale rubber duck sculptures on view through June in honor of Pride Month. During the Art Walk, Yebne will host a pop-up exhibition at 640 Lincoln Road, where attendees can meet the artist and receive a complimentary mini duck sculpture.
At IRIS Galerie, visitors can take home a more personalized piece of the evening: a complimentary session that maps the unique colors and textures of their irises—part science, part self-portrait, fully one-of-a-kind.
Sculpture Stops and Outdoor Moments
Lincoln Road’s public art presence continues to be a defining feature of the promenade, with several large-scale works providing striking focal points between gallery visits. In addition to Duck With Pride, keep an eye out for XO World by Daniel Anderson—a stainless-steel sculpture symbolizing unity and peace—and Dogman and Rabbitwoman by Gillie and Marc, a bronze duo advocating for wildlife conservation and known for their whimsical, interactive appeal.
