The Opportunity

Where Influence Meets Opportunity

A rare convergence of power, influence, and opportunity. High-caliber individuals don't often gather in the same place — yet here in Miami, they come together during Miami Art Week / Art Basel Miami Beach to experience South Florida's number one African contemporary art fair, while embracing introductions that spark meaningful connections.

AfriKin is officially sanctioned by the City of North Miami and the Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau as the official kick-off event of Miami Art Week and Art Basel Miami Beach.
