As part of Miami Art Week, Art Basel Miami took place from Friday, Dec. 6, to Sunday, Dec. 8, 2024, kicking off with a private dinner on Thursday, Dec. 5, at the Fazeel Khan Residence.
Tres Generaciones Tequila, a premium tequila brand known for supporting creators and innovators, and CFDA two-time award-winning fashion designer Maxwell Osborne hosted the exclusive event in partnership with ARTNOIR to celebrate trailblazers marking new milestones at Art Basel, according to a press release.
The dinner honored contemporary artist Andrea Chung, recognized for her original work inspired by island nations in the Indian Ocean and the Caribbean Sea, which challenges traditional notions of “paradise” through the outsiders’ perspectives.
Guests included Fabolous, Leon Thomas, Paul Anthony Smith, Kesha McLeod, Carmelo Anthony, and Rubi Rose, among others, who all arrived by luxury boat cruiser and were greeted with Jamaican patties, a tribute to Osborne’s Jamaican-American heritage.
He is a Woolmark Prize winner and Crain’s 40 Under 40 honoree whose collections reflect his Jamaican roots and family history. The anOnlyChild designer credits his rise in the fashion world to his relentless passion and commitment to learning.
In addition to featuring artists, the dinner’s highlights included a specially curated meal by Chef Troy of Soulfly followed by an intimate acoustic performance from Grammy Award-winning songwriter and R&B singer Teedra Moses.
Tres Generaciones Tequila, born from the legacy of three generations of “Dons,” is dedicated to celebrating the journey of creators who push boundaries and redefine culture. With its three simple ingredients — agave, yeast, and water — the tequila brand embraces the spirit of perseverance and sees success in the journey rather than just the destination.
ARTNOIR is a Black- and brown-owned collective and nonprofit consisting of artists, collaborators, and enthusiasts who are working to make art more accessible and inclusive. Creatives of color are celebrated and empowered with their works amplified and their stories told.
