Over at Wynwood Walls, they're planning several new mural collabs featuring teams like Shepard Fairey X Cleon Peterson, Pose X Revok, Haas X Hahn and Faith 47 X Alexis Diaz.  Also, Swoon and Case will each contribute solo works and Kenny Scharf is updating his existing mural. 

Detroit gallery Library Street Collective will have a pop-up space nearby and they're programming artist talks and a book/print signing fair. The blocks around NW 2nd Avenue and 26th Street have become a gigantic arty-party during the area's monthly "Second Saturday" art walks, but the congestion has some Wynwood veterans seeking space elsewhere. Fredric Snitzer, owner of one of the only two local galleries showing in the convention center and who plans to move from Wynwood to downtown Miami, recently told Miami New Times: "Wynwood has become too hectic and lost its vibe." Jessica Goldman Srebnick, Wynwood Walls' chief curator and daughter of Tony Goldman, hopes their "Art of Collaboration" exhibition can "encourage and inspire greatness" and claims, "The growth of Wynwood as a mecca for the arts is the result of great collaborations."

AB/MB and Performa are hosting an immersive performance by artist Ryan McNamara called "MEEM 4 Miami: A Story Ballet About the Internet" on December 3rd and 4th at 8 and 10:30 p.m. at the Miami Grand Theater at Castle Beach Resort (5445 Collins Avenue, Miami Beach). RoseLee Goldberg, Performa's founder and director, describes the work by the Brooklyn-based artist: "This piece is far more complex than it first appears, because it unfolds as one surprise after another. The viewer is both totally in the moment and yet spends hours thinking about it afterward."
$30, tickets are available HERE. Note to VIPs: There's also an "invitation only" preview on Tuesday.

This year, they've partnered with Contemporary Art Daily, Print All Over Me and the 15th Artadia Award. Print All Over Me will be doing special "artist editions" of clothing using images created by Jose Lerma, Amy Yao and Sarah Braman.

The pop-up "clinic" includes receptionists and therapists that will "help visitors with their individual needs" via everything from hypnosis to psychodrama to trust building games. The museum will also present new and recent works by the New York artist Andra Ursuta. Both will be up until March 15, 2015.
