# What happened Gibson is opening a permanent U.S. art gallery inside Gibson Garage Miami in Wynwood. The space will showcase rotating exhibitions that examine connections between music and visual culture, combining photography, fine art, street art, and multidisciplinary installations.

# Opening exhibition

King, Jimi Hendrix, Sister Rosetta Tharpe, Bob Dylan, Woody Guthrie, Emmylou Harris, Neil Young, Tom Petty, Loretta Lynn, Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, and others.

# Local art collaborations and murals Gibson commissioned two large-scale murals by Miami artists Solano and Nate Dee. Solano's hand-printed mural is installed inside the Gibson Garage Miami in the Kramer guitars area. Nate Dee created a hand-printed outdoor mural displayed on the building's south façade at 2450 NW 2nd Avenue, connecting the venue to Wynwood's street art culture.

# Opening events The gallery opens on September 10, 2026. To mark the opening, Gibson Garage Miami will host a free public art panel on Friday, September 11. The panel will be moderated by Mark Agnesi, Director of Brand Experience at Gibson, and will feature muralists Nate Dee and Solano plus a special music guest. The program includes artist Q&A and a photo opportunity.

• 4:00 p.m.: Public gallery viewing begins
• 5:00 p.m.: "MUSIC AND MURALS" panel discussion
• ~5:45 p.m.: Audience Q&A and photo opportunity
• 6:00 p.m.: Program concludes

The event will also display two brand-new hand-painted original art guitars—one each by Nate Dee and Solano—and an Art Deco–inspired Gibson acoustic guitar that links Gibson's instrument craftsmanship with Miami visual expression.

# Why it matters for visitors and the local scene The gallery places music photography and visual art under one roof in Wynwood, a neighborhood already known for murals and creative culture. Visitors can expect rotating shows, limited-edition prints for purchase, artist activations, and programming that highlights how visual and musical practices intersect. The presence of commissioned murals and local artist-built guitars signals an intent to partner closely with Miami creatives.

# Quote "Music has always been bigger than the instrument itself. It shapes how we see, create, and connect," says Mark Agnesi, Director of Brand Experience at Gibson.
