Hotel Croydon in South Beach and Jean Shafiroff teamed up for an annual Miami Art Week bash that was as colorful and fun as the artwork being showcased all over town.
The packed reception at the popular boutique property was an afternoon to remember. Presented in partnership with the South Beach Group Hotel’s owner Alan Lieberman, the event spotlighted a curated selection of works by celebrated Miami-born artist Purvis Young, exhibited by New York City gallery One Art Space as an exclusive preview of its forthcoming February 2026 exhibition at the gallery’s 23 Warren Street location in Tribeca.

Guests gathered at the boutique property to mark the opening weekend of Art Basel Miami while experiencing early selections from One Art Space’s upcoming February 2026 Purvis Young showcase, which explores the artist’s storied legacy within contemporary American art. The reception served as a cultural bridge between Miami’s dynamic creative community and New York’s downtown arts scene.
