Time

Time Out Market Miami’s design and cultural elements – created
together with local talent
The design of Time Out Market Miami
is a reflection of the city, inspired by the style and glamour of the
local Art Deco movement, infused with elements of the Time Out Market
brand. A visual focal point is a large media wall offering insights into
Time Out content around the best things to do in the city – curated by
local Time Out editors to inspire visitors. The screen will also present
artwork from some of the city's main illustrators, as part of the
project 'Time Out Animated Cities'. Miami based Gabriela David (Brazil)
and Kiko Rodriguez (Cuba), Joao Fazenda and Bernardo Carvalho (both from
Portugal) are among the first artists chosen to portray Miami's exciting
landscape. The menu boards are also an artistic element of the market as
they aim to do more than just provide information on dishes offered by
the chefs, instead they visually represent the food and tell a story – a
pillar of the Time Out brand. They also add a cultural twist as they
were designed by Chalk and Brush, a team of local artists
led by Cinthia Santos and Benjamin Levy.
Time Out Market Miami is part of the global expansion of this
successful culinary phenomenon
Time Out Market is rooted in the
heritage of Time Out – a magazine created at a kitchen table in London
in 1968 to inspire and enable people to explore and enjoy the best of
the city. Since then, Time Out editors have been writing about the best
food, drinks and cultural experiences to help people go out better.
Today, a global team of local expert journalists is curating the best
things to do in 315 cities in 58 countries across websites, magazines,
social media and live events. Now this curation is brought to life at
Time Out Market.
Julio Bruno, CEO of Time Out Group plc, stated:
“We are
very proud to bring Time Out Market to Miami – it is an exciting and
vibrant city known for its incredibly diverse food and cultural scene,
making it a fantastic fit for our brand. Time Out has helped people go
out better in the world’s greatest cities since 1968, it is now
synonymous with the best of the city. That is why Time Out Market is the
perfect extension of our brand: our curation carries huge respect and
trust, and that allows us to bring the very best of the city in a
physical location to our audience. Our first Time Out Market in Lisbon
has been so successful that we are rolling out this unique format
globally, starting with Miami. By the end of 2019, there will be six
Time Out Markets, spanning a total of 185,000 square feet, offering
almost 4,000 seats and food from 120 of the world’s best chefs.”
In 2014, the editorial team behind Time Out Lisbon turned a historic market building into Time Out Market Lisbon, the world’s first food and cultural market based wholly on editorial curation. Today, it is Portugal’s most popular attraction with 3.9 million visitors in 2018. This hugely successful culinary phenomenon will now expand globally with new Time Out Markets opening in Miami, New York, Boston, Chicago and Montreal in 2019, and with Dubai, London-Waterloo and Prague following later.
What connects all markets is a carefully curated mix of top chefs and restaurateurs, and of culinary and cultural experiences – all housed in unique buildings capturing the soul of the city. However, the execution of each Time Out Market is distinctly local to give a true taste of the city it is in.
