Marvin Weeks

Miami Magic Music Mural/Betty Wright and the Miami Sound
 by Marvin Weeks

Artist Marvin Weeks came to Miami as a young man, carrying in his mind the traditions and environment of his coastal Georgia birthplace. Our diaspora city widened his experience of Caribbean culture. In 1980, Weeks was inspired to become an arts advocate. Through his writing, painted murals, and community activism, the artist has been involved in strengthening the diversity of art and culture in Miami for more than two decades. Weeks considers his leadership role in the Miami Arts & Entertainment Council an opportunity to heighten the visibility of our heritage neighborhoods on the global stage.
