Just miles north of Miami, soon under 30 minutes by high-speed rail, and with direct access as far north as Orlando, FATVillage is further developing an integration with artists and designers. An untold number of artists in Miami found opportunity in FATVillage during their journeys. The four block district itself is named after the 501c3 non-profit arts organization, FATVillage Arts District Inc. Property owners Doug McCraw and Lutz Hofbauer created FATVillage Arts District to rally philanthropic support around sustaining an artist community.
