New Art Dealers Alliance (NADA) and Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM) are pleased to announce the selection of the eighth annual NADA Acquisition Gift for PAMM, an acquisition gift which provides funding for PAMM curators to acquire artworks for the museum’s permanent collection from NADA Miami. This year marks a significant milestone, as ECOLOGIES—a programming partnership between Knight Foundation, NADA, PAMM, and CULTURED—has doubled funding for the initiative.
PAMM curators Jennifer Inacio, Maritza M. Lacayo, and Fabiana Sotillo were able to select three works for the museum’s permanent collection. The artworks are, Thomas Bils’ Phone Wallet Keys (2025) (Baker—Hall), Sheroanawe Hakihiiwe’s Hishima (Pumpkin), 2021 (ABRA Gallery), and Pallavi Sen’s Manokamana Kala Kendra (2021) (Twelve Gates Arts).
The selected artists each meaningfully strengthen PAMM’s collection. With Thomas Bils’ work from Baker—Hall, PAMM deepens its commitment to the local community, acquiring a Miami-based artist at NADA for the first time and supporting one of the city’s own galleries.
“We’re thrilled to once again make acquisitions at NADA Miami for PAMM’s permanent collection, and this year is especially meaningful thanks to the doubling of the fund through ECOLOGIES and the Knight Foundation, which allowed us to acquire three works for the first time,” said PAMM Associate Curator Maritza M. Lacayo, Curator Jennifer Inacio, and Curatorial Assistant Fabiana Sotillo.

Put together a little recap of this past month as Delta delays my flight home for the second time. A big shoutout to @vermontstudiocenter and all of the new friendships formed during my time there as well as a heartfelt thank you to @mlhab and @miamidadearts for making this possible and @winsorandnewton for the timely care package of new materials.
Not so long ago I had the pleasure of being interviewed by @miafunkart for @creativeprocesspodcast where I was able to discuss things such as my multiple origin stories and what a typical day in the studio looks like along with some general mulling over the thought processes and motivations behind my work.
