Ampersand Studios Miami transformed into a playground of creativity, culture, and curated cool for an immersive pop-up experience in collaboration with The Bakery Coral Gables and Vic Garcia World. The event brought together the city’s tastemakers, trendsetters, and curious creatives for a one-of-a-kind celebration of art, fashion, food, and vintage vibes.
The space buzzed with energy as guests explored interactive 1:1 merchandise activations, limited-edition art pieces, and curated vintage collections that blended nostalgia with contemporary flair. Miami’s culture was on full display through every booth, bite, and beat.
Here’s what went down:
🎨 Art by @vicgarcia set the tone with bold, eye-catching pieces that blurred the lines between gallery and street.
👕 @thebakerycoralgables delivered a delicious mix of exotic snacks and rare vintage fashion, while @secondhandfirstsight served up Y2K vibes with their curated throwback collection.
💎 @jaded.jewelers offered on-the-spot permanent jewelry sessions, adding a personalized sparkle to the night.
🍣 @yubiboxsushi kept taste buds happy with their signature hand rolls, joined by mouthwatering burgers from @baga.burgers and sweet, spicy treats by @miamipika.
🥤 Staying refreshed was easy thanks to hydration stations from @topochicousa, #SimplyPop, and @smartwater, plus cold brews from @trippinganimalsbrewing and @thetankbrewing.
🎶 DJs @soren_knippen and @crazyvinyl.record kept the vibes flowing with a mix of fresh beats and vinyl classics.
But beyond the activations and aesthetic, what made this event truly special was its purpose: shining a light on the artists, small businesses, and entrepreneurs who make up the heartbeat of Miami. These pop-ups are more than moments, they’re a reflection of what Ampersand Studios stands for. We’re proud to be a space that sources and supports local talent, offering platforms for connection, collaboration, and community growth.
Whether you came for the art, stayed for the sushi, or left with a vintage gem, this pop-up was a celebration of the creative spirit that defines our city. And we can’t wait to do it again. Keep up with upcoming happenings on our &Events calendar.
