NUA-ARTE: Contemporary African Art Exhibition at aAO

Art, music and culinary creativity come together at aAO (Against All Odds) this Miami Art Week! The forthcoming Buena Vista restaurant from celebrity chef Robyn Almodovar will host NUA-ARTE: Contemporary African Art Exhibition, curated by internationally acclaimed DJ, singer and artist Anané Vega.

Titled Illuminating Unseen Voices, the exhibition will spotlight underrepresented African artists through contemporary paintings exploring identity, culture and everyday life. Guests can enjoy music from Grammy Award-winning DJ and producer Louie Vega, a welcome cocktail and passed hors d’oeuvres prepared by Chef Almodovar, winner of Chopped and Cutthroat Kitchen.

The event offers guests a sneak peek at aAO ahead of its winter 2027 opening. The restaurant will bring a fresh neighborhood gathering place to Buena Vista, with a menu inspired by Almodovar's career signatures and South Florida's diverse culinary traditions.
