Tony Goldman Dies at 68

Yesterday, entrepreneur and visionary Tony Goldman died from heart failure in New York City. If you do not know who he is? Besides being a developer, he is one of the key people to turn what was a boring and run down Miami’s warehouse district to a booming art Mecca in the Wynwood area. He is responsible for creating the “Wynwood Walls”. This is a place open to the public for people to view murals by some of the leading street artists in the world. Artists include Shepard Fairey, Futura, Gaia, Os Gemeos and many more. Go to Wynwood today and you can see a celebration of street art all around you. Wynwood holds a special place in our hearts and there is not doubt it will continue to grow thanks to Goldman lighting the spark. Below are some of the murals you can find at the Wynwood Walls.
