Naming
University of Wynwood is named after Tobias Rodriguez-Wynwood, who opened the first art gallery in what is now the Wynwood arts district in 1878. A self-taught polymath and provocateur, TRW was also the first Miami street artist. Under the cover of night, he routinely graffitied the exterior of his own building, then would march into the city commission the following morning to deliver one of his infamous tirades against "the aesthetic blasphemy of street art." A lover of small dogs and poetry, he took it upon himself to nurture Miami's literary scene by holding roundtable workshops and craft lectures on the gallery's back porch. His corpse floated to the surface of the Miami River in 1931.
