Point of Comfort Art fair: Art Basel Miami 2023

Hampton Art Lovers proudly presents the Point Comfort Art Fair & Show, an immersive celebration of art and culture, from December 7-10, 2023, in the heart of Historic Overtown at the Historic Ward Rooming House. Set against the vibrant backdrop of Miami Art Week, this event is a must-attend for art enthusiasts and cultural connoisseurs.

The Point Comfort Art Fair & Show pays homage to the profound impact of African-American history on contemporary culture. The name “Point Comfort” symbolizes the arrival point of West African captives, a historical moment that has deeply influenced today’s art, music, and cultural expressions. This year’s edition is a special nod to the 50th anniversary of hip hop, showcasing art inspired by this influential musical genre.

Featuring renowned artists like Basil Watson, George Clinton, and Judy Bowman, the event will host an array of masterpieces under an expansive tent at the Gardens @ The Historic Ward Rooming House. In addition, a historic collection titled “For the People: 700 the Arts” will be displayed, featuring African-American art from the Miami-Dade Public Library’s collection, including works by Romare Bearden, Jacob Lawrence, and more.

The event’s Indaba Lounge Series is a cultural melting pot, offering an array of engaging activities like art talks, musical performances, and the unique “Bespoke Motor Gallery.” It’s a space where art, music, and minds converge, fostering an environment of learning and appreciation.

The Historic Ward Rooming House Gallery, a cornerstone of Historic Overtown, plays host to the event. This site, with its deep historical roots, adds a layer of authenticity and reverence to the fair, embodying the resilience and creativity of the African-American community.

George Clinton, a legend in the realm of funk and a major influence on hip-hop, serves as the 2023 Cultural Ambassador. His groundbreaking work in music and visual arts exemplifies the innovative spirit celebrated at the Point Comfort Art Fair & Show.

For art lovers, culture enthusiasts, and those intrigued by the rich tapestry of African and African-American artistry, the Point Comfort Art Fair & Show is an unmissable event. Join us to celebrate, learn, and immerse in the beauty and rhythm of this unique cultural experience.
