Gallery Gallop

The Wynwood Art District Second Saturday gallery walks have become a staple in many art aficionados’ agendas.

Each month from 7 to 10 p.m. (start/end times may vary) art venues open their doors to the masses, enticing them with free wine (and other libations) and hors d’oeuvres.

To make the most of your walk, here’s a suggested route for Saturday. You will visit 18 galleries in the span of three hours (about 10 minutes per gallery), so lace up your walking shoes.

  • Park along 25th Street near NW Second Avenue: your start/end point.

  • Head east to the first stop at The Lab Projects*, 120 NW 25th St., Suite 203. 786-472-9195.

  • Next, head west on 25th Street and turn left onto NW Second Avenue. Your second gallery will be a triple shot. Three galleries functioning independently of each other share the same address, 2441 NW Second Ave. — Chelsea Galleria* (305-576-2950), DPM Gallery (featuring solo artist Xavier Patiño’s Titan, 305-576-1777) and Lyle O. Reitzel Gallery (featuring Cuban artist Carlos Quintana’s Sin tentación, 305-573-1333).

  • Walk south and turn left at the corner, keep walking until you find 151 NW 24th St., the home of Dorsch Gallery, featuring shows by three different artists — Kerry Ware: Before the Wave, Lisa Kaplowitz: Just Another Day and Harumi Abe, Jackie Gopie, William Soto, Runcie Tatnall: What were you thinking? Call 305-576-1278.

  • Go east on NW 24th Street until North Miami Avenue and make a left. This stop is Filtro - a photo space, 2320-B N. Miami Ave., Miami. 305-571-9565. On view is Cuba: As Time Stands Still, 2007 and film installation Dos Rios. Right next door is GIL Art Gallery*, 305-438-0104.
