Mana hopes to replicate the success of Jersey City’s Mana Contemporary on 24 acres of land in Wynwood, Florida. Per the Miami Herald: The seed for what in 2011 became Mana Contemporary was planted when he [Mana] and [Eugene] Lemay began investigating the fine-arts storage business. They discovered that thousands of collections were hidden away in storage, rarely seeing the light of day, and hit on a novel strategy: Offer collectors not just storage but also galleries to show their art, and curators to help them mount cohesive exhibitions. —Miami Herald
