Gary Moore
Baked Enamel on Steel
African Heritage Cultural Arts Center
6161 NW 22nd Ave., Miami, FL

Miami artist Gary Moore designed Afromatic as a tribute to the cultural activities practiced and celebrated at the African Heritage Cultural Arts Center. The upper portion of the fence is decorated with abstract, ornamental motifs representing music, dance, drama and the visual arts. Moore used vivid shades of red, blue, yellow and green to highlight the design of the fence and create an inviting entrance to the Center. The unpredictable arrangement of the colored panels was inspired by the spontaneous and random musical notes created by improvisational jazz musicians.

The African Heritage Cultural Arts Center is an educational, performance and visual arts facility that is a hub of activity within the inner-city community. The fence, which spans approximately 1,200 linear feet, encompasses the entire facility and is easily visible to pedestrians and street traffic along NW 22nd Avenue.
