Running concurrently with Purvis Young: A Visionary of Miami's Cultural Identity, Voices from the Edge: Collective Exhibition of Outsider Art in collaboration with Juan Martin’s NAEMI (National Art Exhibitions by the Mentally Ill) will spotlight important works by artists across its collection. This collateral presentation explores unfiltered creativity and the intersection of mental health and art.
The collateral exhibition, Voices from the Edge, highlights the unfiltered creativity of artists working outside traditional frameworks. Curated in collaboration with NAEMI, this collective exhibition features bold works by Candice Avery, Jorge Alberto Cadi (El Buzo), Isaac Crespo, Sebastian Ferreira, Jorge A. Hernandez, Ramon Llosa, Echo McCallister, Milton Schwartz, Carlos Stella, and Misleidys Castillo.
These artists, many of whom navigate the challenges of mental illness, channel their inner worlds into deeply personal and authentic creations. The exhibition aims to challenge preconceived notions about art and its creators, celebrating resilience and offering an inspiring exploration of the transformative power of creative expression.
