During Art Basel week in Miami, when the city becomes a global epicenter for contemporary culture, the Museum of Graffiti hosted one of the most intimate and creatively charged events on the calendar: its annual Collectors’ Dinner Presented by Woodford Reserve. Held inside the museum’s Private Gallery in Wynwood, the invite-only evening brought together influential collectors, tastemakers, and creatives for a night that seamlessly blurred the boundaries between street art, fine art, fashion, and craftsmanship.

Now in its fifth year, the Collectors’ Dinner has become a cornerstone of Art Basel Miami Beach programming in Wynwood, offering rare access to artists who are actively shaping contemporary visual culture. This year’s edition marked a defining moment in the dinner’s evolution with the debut collaboration between legendary graffiti artist JonOne and acclaimed luxury fashion designer Sergio Hudson, elevating the evening from a collector gathering to a live, immersive creative experience.

For one night only, guests were surrounded by JonOne’s latest body of work while witnessing the collaboration unfold in real time. In a powerful moment that captured the spirit of Art Basel week, JonOne painted directly onto a custom Sergio Hudson garment, transforming fashion into a living canvas before an audience of collectors. The live creation underscored the shared values between the two artists—bold self-expression, cultural storytelling, and the belief that art should move freely across disciplines without boundaries.

The evening began with a private exhibition viewing inside the Museum of Graffiti’s Private Gallery, allowing guests to engage deeply with the artwork in an intimate setting rarely accessible during Miami’s busiest art week. This was followed by an elevated four-course dinner curated by acclaimed Miami restaurant KYU, known for its refined yet approachable approach to wood-fired cuisine. Each course was thoughtfully paired with bespoke Woodford Reserve cocktails, crafted exclusively for the occasion to complement both the menu and the evening’s creative energy.

A highlight of the night was an intimate conversation between JonOne and Sergio Hudson, moderated within the gallery space, where the artists discussed their creative dialogue, mutual inspirations, and the journey that led to their first formal collaboration. Their exchange offered collectors a rare glimpse into the personal philosophies behind their work, reinforcing the idea that meaningful partnerships are rooted in shared vision rather than trend-driven moments.

Since launching in 2020, the Museum of Graffiti’s Private Gallery has established itself as a vital platform during Art Basel week—one that prioritizes authenticity, access, and cultural relevance over spectacle. This year’s Collectors’ Dinner reaffirmed the museum’s role as a space where art, design, and community genuinely intersect, elevating the collector experience through thoughtful collaboration, live artistic exchange, and moments that resonate far beyond a single evening in Wynwood.
