The latest addition to Miami Design District is Nader Sculpture Park. Founded by art collector Gary Nader and designed by Bea Pernia of BEA Interiors Design, this park is an open- air collection of more than 50 large-scale sculptures residing within Miami’s celebrated neighborhood of fashion, design, art, architecture and dining. Pernia, distinguished by her knack for blending organic materials into expressions of elegance, also has a studio in the city’s design district.

“The selection process for the sculptures at Nader Sculpture Park is deeply intentional,” said Nader. “Each piece was chosen to celebrate artistic diversity and represent a variety of cultures, styles, and perspectives. Our goal is to create a space where visitors can experience the universal language of art through the works of internationally renowned artists like Fernando Botero, Richard Hudson, and Robert Indiana, among others. The park’s collection is designed to inspire reflection, dialogue, and a connection to the global art scene.”

Miami Art District was the vision of city native Craig Robins, who set out to revitalize an overlooked and underappreciated area of Miami. Today, the neighborhood’s evolution continues, and Nader plans to expand upon his contribution. This includes a multifunctional approach that will utilize the sculpture park for cultural programs, musical performances and fashion shows.

“Looking ahead to 2025, we are excited to host a series of events that blend art with community engagement,” said Robins. “These include exclusive sculpture unveilings, live performances, and collaborative events with local and international cultural organizations. Additionally, we’re planning art-focused workshops and exhibitions to further establish the park as a hub for creativity and cultural exchange.”
