Exhibition Reception: “Welcome to Wonder” by Josh Aronson

Opening remarks by Helena Gomez, Curator, and Josh Aronson will begin at 11:30 a.m. Visitors will be invited to continue the conversation with the artist by the installation and explore the installation.

Reception admission includes entry to Vizcaya Museum and Gardens, where guests can explore the museum and formal gardens following the reception.

The Vizcaya Village Cafe is located across the street from Vizcaya Museum and Gardens at 3250 South Miami Avenue, Miami, FL 33129.

Welcome to Wonder transforms Vizcaya’s walking paths into a contemplative journey where photography, landscape and human presence intersect. Created by Miami-based artist Josh Aronson, this site-responsive installation features intimate photographic encounters that reveal unexpected connections between people and place. Exploring themes of looking and being seen, concealment and revelation, belonging and identity, Aronson’s work welcomes moments of pause, reflection and discovery. Through this immersive experience, visitors are invited to consider the subtle ways we shape, and are shaped by, the landscapes we inhabit. As Aronson describes, “the installation becomes both an artwork and an invitation: to enter Vizcaya through a state of wonder, openness, and discovery.”
