The Contemporary Art Modern Project (The CAMP Gallery)
The Contemporary Art Modern Project Gallery is a contemporary art gallery dedicated to raising awareness for emerging and mid-career artists with a unique emphasis on ultra-contemporary approaches to textiles and fiber art. Founded during the height of the pandemic by Melanie Prapopoulos, the gallery has gone on to create a distinctly academic and thought-provoking arts program in North Miami, and beyond. As a gallery, The CAMP remains steadfast in transparency both for the artist and for the collector, building bridges and connections from creation to acquisition. With a robust local and international roster, the gallery represents artists working in textiles and fiber, painting, photography, sculpture, and installation. Looking at art, as a whole, through a reactionary and interdisciplinary approach, the gallery operates as a space wherein creativity and reality co-exist.

A groundbreaking exhibition celebrating African American art will run from January 24 through March 28, 2025. The exhibit features powerful and thought-provoking works by local and national artists and explores the complex narrative of African American culture, identity and history, providing a platform for artists to share their voices and stories. The public is invited to a free opening reception on January 31 from 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.

The Contemporary Art Modern Project is pleased to welcome March with two new exhibitions and an online exclusive running simultaneously from March 7–April 4, 2025. The gallery will be hosting an opening reception for all in-gallery exhibitions on March 7, 2025 in our North Miami gallery from 6:00–9:00 PM.

In CAMP’s incubator space, Jan Brandt’s solo exhibition, Between Stillness and Growth, explores the tension between bloom and decay through Brandt’s signature use of playful, tactile materials like puffy paint and glitter. Her Hothouse series navigates the fluid boundary between representation and abstraction, creating compositions that pulse with kinetic energy while incorporating moments of stillness. These textures and compositions invite viewers to pause, reflect, and embrace life’s rhythms, offering both a reflection on transition and an exploration of the cycle between chaos and calm.

Curated by Amy Arechavaleta.

The CAMP Gallery is open Tuesday–Saturday, 12 to 5 PM.
