Little River is a neighborhood well-known to older Miami natives, and has recently entered the radar of younger generations. One of Miami's oldest neighborhoods, Little River was established as an agricultural community. A natural evolution led to its development into one of Miami's most vibrant commercial, entertainment, and residential areas. Speak to those who grew up in Miami from the 1920's-1960's, and they'll fondly recall hamburgers and birch beer from Royal Castle, go-carting behind St. Mary's Cathedral, and movies at the Rosetta Theater. Having fallen into a decline after the development of Interstate 95 and the increased popularity of the shopping mall, this culturally diverse neighborhood, along with those that surround it (Little Haiti, West Little River, and the historic residential neighborhoods of El Portal and Palm Grove) is now experiencing another evolution - this time led by creative entrepreneurs.
Squad goals, indeed.
After four years in St. Petersburg, FL and another two in Wynwood, Mindy Solomon Gallery now calls Little River home. Solomon says her "desire to be a gallerist stems from a fascination with objects and visual conversations" as well as enjoying "providing divergent visual opinions about how we perceive the world." She represents a roster of contemporary emerging and mid-career American (Scot Southern) and international (de la Torre brothers, Kang Hyo Lee) artists working in painting, sculpture, photography, and video, and encourages them to establish their creative voices and explore a broad range of exhibition possibilities.
