April 21, 2010. Purvis Young, the soul of the indigenous Miami art scene, was generally labeled an "outsider" or "folk" artist, but he was making it happen in Overtown and Liberty City decades before "Wynwood" was able to pronounce the words "Art Basel Miami Beach".

He died yesterday at the age of 67 at Jackson Memorial Hospital after a long battle with diabetes.

James Kalm taps on the window and convinces Manager Rob Magness to allow viewers a private preview of this exceptional exhibition. Grown and Sewn is a collaborative arts and crafts space that brings works of art together with a new line of well crafted American made clothing. Purvis Young, from Miami’s tough Overtown neighborhood, is a mythical figure among painters and aficionados of “Outsider Art”. James Kalm brings fans this exhibition which features a cross section of Young’s paintings, drawings and book works. Includes interviews with Rob Magness and Skot Foreman.
