This place is great. Its been around for years and was one of the first spaces to show Miami artists with no filter or pretension. Emerson Dorsch shows artists from South Florida, and beyond- and they recognize the importance of maintaining and fostering a community in fast changing city.Go to the openings and the talks - its worth it.
Great art gallery in Little Haiti showing Contemporary Art. The talks and lectures are informative, interesting, and engaging and usually allow for a talk back/Q&A.
As last Sunday was a drizzling, my plans for spending the afternoon biking were cut short. A friend suggested a trip to Emerson Dorsch. This is a gallery that I had visited several times in its original Wynwood location in order to enjoy exhibits by Jenny Brillhart, a marvelous Miami-based artist for many years who is still represented by Emerson Dorsch. We headed off in the rain to check out Emerson Dorsch’s present home in Little Haiti. “Alosúgbe: A Journey Across Time,” by Onajide Shabaka is currently on exhibit. Sydney, the director at the gallery that afternoon, was wonderful. She explained the story behind the art. In brief, the artist’s work which is represented through photographs and collages, explores the African diaspora based on his many years of research in several Southern states as well as the Caribbean and Suriname. I highly recommend seeing this exhibit which runs through June 22. Indeed, I plan on making more frequent trips to Emerson Dorsch – why not take advantage of the marvelous galleries we are lucky to have here in Miami! Located next to Panther Coffee, there’s ample parking everywhere so there’s no excuse not to visit!
I have known Emerson Dorsch for 12 years and I was eagerly waiting for the opening of their new gallery. I was not disappointed; The new location is a reflection of their hard work and dedication to create a gallery that promotes the emerging arts, with spacious and bright spaces, including the rooftop where many creative activities will take place. Congratulations!!!
Do not show your work at this gallery. Your art work will miraculously go missing and you will never see it again. They will sell it behind your back and tell you that it’s missing or refer you to other galleries as a diversion. I have sources confirm that it was last seen at this gallery storage space and the owners are denying that fact. The name of the painting is “Locked up”. It is on a blue background with 4 men behind bars with hands reaching out. Please let me know if you have seen this painting.
I visited here for the first time. Checked the original artwork for living room. It was fantastic.
Emerson Dorsch is one of the very first contemporary galleries to open in Wynwood and it continues to celebrate and support emerging and mid-career artists that are pushing boundaries and putting the world under a critical lens. They re-opened in April 2013 after a year of renovation and the gallery now has a main space, project room, library, and outside area that is clean, simple, and elegant. They represent and show a wide range of artists and styles; from local to international, abstract painting to video installation. They have been named one of the top art spaces in Miami for years and continue to uphold that reputation. I truly recommend!
Wonderful and welcoming space. It is clear EDG is here for the community and aims to continue engaging people into the art scene. Make your way over and pay them a visit!
Great all around.
Its awesome
