COUNT IT ALL JOY! Opens at Green Space Miami with a Celebration of Resilience, Community, and Contemporary Art
MIAMI, FL — July 16, 2026 — Green Space Miami presents COUNT IT ALL JOY!, a dynamic group exhibition curated by Donnamarie Baptiste and Arsimmer McCoy, opening with a public reception on Thursday, July 16, 2026, from 6:00 PM at Green Space Miami, 7200 Biscayne Boulevard, Miami, FL 33138.
Bringing together fifteen contemporary artists working across a wide range of disciplines, COUNT IT ALL JOY! explores the many ways joy can be experienced, expressed, and shared. Rather than presenting joy as a fleeting emotion, the exhibition considers it an act of resilience—a space for healing, reflection, comfort, and collective belonging.
Through painting, sculpture, textiles, photography, sound, and interactive installations, the participating artists invite visitors to reflect on the universal human desire for connection and renewal. Each work offers a personal perspective while contributing to a broader conversation about finding beauty and hope amid life’s complexities.

Curators Donnamarie Baptiste and Arsimmer McCoy have assembled an exhibition that embraces multiple artistic voices and cultural perspectives, demonstrating how art can become a shared language of empathy, restoration, and celebration.
Visitors are invited to join the opening reception for an evening of drinks, music, and light bites, while celebrating the artists and the spirit of the exhibition. In keeping with the exhibition’s theme, guests are encouraged to wear whatever brings them joy, transforming the opening into an expression of personal identity and collective celebration.
As communities continue to navigate social, cultural, and personal challenges, COUNT IT ALL JOY! reminds us that joy is not merely a destination but an intentional practice—one capable of strengthening relationships, fostering resilience, and creating meaningful spaces for connection.
