It is the first and only art event to take place at the Historic Post Office Building. RAW brings together fifteen visual artists working in various media and fifteen musicians from multiple regions who will coexist in an organic, interactive space. A few artists participating include: Town and Concrete, Soraya Abu Naba\u2019a, Allison Berkoy, Ali Silverstein, Arantxa Araujo.<\/p>\n<p>For its next installment, YAI has selected RAW as the curatorial thesis for site specific installations that strip the senses to their purest form; ready to be felt in a raw space. The exhibition features interactive artwork including the human senses as mediums that are inextricably interconnected. Artists explore the ephemeral possibilities of sensory experience, inviting and encouraging guests to let go of visual art boundaries and interact with their surroundings. Art installations made with tangible and abstract organic matter are tasted, touched, heard and smelled.<\/p>\n<p>RAW is fittingly set at the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Old_United_States_Post_Office_and_Courthouse_(Miami,_Florida)\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Historic Post Office Building<\/a> in Downtown Miami. A truly unique raw space constructed between 1912 and 1914, it was the first important Federal Building built in Miami. With three available floors totaling more than 15,000-square-feet, it is partitioned by floor in order to illustrate interpretations of RAW across a variety of mediums. The second and third floor are dedicated to RAW\u2019s Pop Up with over 20 multi-sensory installations\/works from participating artists. The fourth floor will welcome The SIXTH, a sensory pop up bar that guides you through your sixth sense.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RAW &#8211; Pop Up Will Take Place During The Following Times:<\/strong><br \/>\nDecember 5th 7pm-10pm, Preview Opening for Press\/Collectors<br \/>\nDecember 6th 7pm-1am, RAW Open to Public<br \/>\nDecember 7th 1pm-1am, RAW Open to Public<br \/>\nDecember 8th + 9th 8pm-3am, RAW Closing Weekend<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Sixth &#8211; Pop Up Bar Will Take Place During The Following Times:<\/strong><br \/>\nNovember 30th 8pm-1am, Soft Opening Bar for Invite Only<br \/>\nDecember 1st 8pm-1am, Grand Opening for Public<br \/>\nDecember 2nd 8pm-1am, Pop Up Bar open to Public<br \/>\nDecember 5th 7pm-10pm, Pop Up Bar Preview Opening<br \/>\nDecember 6th 8pm-1am, Pop Up Bar open to Public<br \/>\nDecember 7th 8pm-1am, Pop Up Bar open to Public<br \/>\nDecember 8th + 9th 8pm-3am, The Sixth Closing Weekend<\/p>\n<p>Young Artist Initiative (YAI) is an innovative, atypical platform empowering emerging artists through conceptually rooted experiential exhibitions designed to foster community engagement and contribute a unique substance to the landscape of culture and art.
