HOXXOH at Oolite Arts: A Monumental Prelude to Little River, Miami
Oolite Arts marked the beginning of a new chapter in Miami’s cultural landscape. Before construction begins on its future campus in Little River, the organisation invited Miami-based artist HOXXOH to activate its current warehouse buildings at 75 NW 72nd Street with a sweeping, large-scale mural.

The gesture is both celebratory and transitional. The buildings, soon to be replaced in mid-2026, are being transformed into a temporary canvas. Using a cherry picker and a custom sprayer, HOXXOH is enveloping every wall in his signature swirling abstractions, turning the industrial façade into a field of movement and color. The neighbourhood has already begun to gather, watching as the structures pulse with layered blues, corals, and rhythmic currents.
“I’ve enjoyed Oolite’s programming for years, and I’m super honoured to be working with them on this project,” HOXXOH shared as the mural progressed.
The work operates as a visual countdown, a threshold moment between what has been and what is about to rise.

A Campus Designed for the Future of Miami Arts
Designed by internationally acclaimed architectural firm Barozzi Veiga, Oolite Arts’ new 26,850-square-foot campus is scheduled to break ground in 2026. The project signals a landmark expansion for Miami’s growing creative community.
The future space will house artist studios, exhibition galleries, a theatre, a maker space, a print shop, and classrooms supporting more than 400 art classes annually. The architectural vision balances private studio environments with open, welcoming public areas, fostering both focused practice and community engagement. Sustainability remains central to the design, with plans aimed toward LEED certification.
This campus represents a long-term investment in artists and audiences.

A Temporary Canvas, A Lasting Impact
HOXXOH’s mural captures the energy of anticipation. His layered, circular gestures echo the cycles that define artistic practice: creation, transition, renewal. By activating buildings destined for demolition, the project embraces impermanence as part of the narrative.
The mural becomes a bridge between eras. It acknowledges the legacy of Oolite Arts while signaling the bold architecture and programming ahead.

And for now, that future begins in colour.
