Meet Wynwood, Miami's rising street art district

While today, Wynwood is a bright hotbed of larger-than-life sized artwork to marvel at, the neighborhood was not always so welcoming. It began as a dangerous and dismal environment that most would be fearful to enter. But today, no matter how full the walls become, Wynwood continues to blossom, welcoming offset events from Miami’s ever-popular Miami Music Week around Ultra Music Festival in March, and now, III Points.

The festival is carrying the torch of Goldman’s legacy and his artists and bringing with it a multicultural approach, helping to shine a light on a vibrant community while also provoking more artists to come through and add to the spectacle. Since 2013 the production company has delivered a stacked lineup of musicians and visual artists, but the focus has always been about more than just the programming. “We're not trying to produce something just for the masses,” said III Points co-founder Erica Freshman. “We don't book music, art, or tech talent just because of the tickets that they'll sell. We want to bring the world to Miami. And we want to bring Miami to the world."

The third year of III Points will prove to be an evolution of that same unique vision as they have put extra emphasis on displaying the local community. Each year, festival organizers showcase a collection of enticing activations, but this year’s lot include a few noteworthy offerings that highlight what both Wynwood and III Points stand for: freedom of expression and a focus on the cutting edge.
