See Photos From artnet and Maestro Dobel Tequila’s Artist-Inspired Dinner in Miami’s Herzog & de Meuron Brutalist Edifice
Artists Cj Hendry, Julia Bland, and Nir Hod attended the event, with food provided by award-winning chef Michael Schwartz.

Last Thursday, artnet and Maestro Dobel Tequila joined together for a magical evening under the starlit Miami sky to celebrate the launch of artnet’s new “In the Studio” series, featuring intimate 360-degree videos of up-and-coming artists at work. Gathering together on the fifth level of Herzog & de Meuron’s spectacular 1111 Lincoln Road—home to the edgy fashion boutique Alchemist—guests sat down to a multi-course meal prepared by James Beard Award-winning chef Michael Schwartz that was inspired by the three artists who were the subject of the inaugural “In the Studio” spotlights: the photorealistic drawing sensation Cj Hendry, the mesmerizing textile artist Julia Bland, and the psychologically penetrating painter Nir Hod.
Over the course of the evening, each artist got up to tell the assembled dinner guests a bit about their approach, and then stood aside their video played on a massive LED wall. Guests, in the meantime, were greeted by a signature Black Diamond Margarita, created with the balanced smoky and agave notes of Maestro Dobel Tequila Humito, inspired by the Artisanal Process from the 17th century tequila production techniques.
