Weird Miami Artist-Led Bus Tours
July 18, August 15, & September 19
Weird Miami is the chance to ditch our jaded views of Miami and become “tourists in the ‘weird’ pockets in our own city.†– Adler Guerrier
There is a much more interesting — sometimes dark — and never boring side to Miami, one only known to the people who inhabit this town. For any Miamian a typical day’s experiences could range from strange to the swampy sublime. Is there any such thing as “Flori-duh?” It is only when one accepts the city in all its glorious weirdness that one can unearth the cracked and quirky gems that lie hidden within.
The artists, both Miamians and non-natives, consider their experiences with people they have come across, through mysterious topographies they have discovered, and objects they have excavated or exhumed, as a way to make sense of or share their unique findings. Exhibition is free and open to the public.
Visitor’s Center Artists:
Autumn Casey | Alyse Emdur | Adler Guerrier | Jason Hedges

Weird Miami Artist-Led Bus Tours: Reserve your seat now!
During the 3rd Sundays of July, August and September the BFI will kick-off a series of monthly school-bus tours each led by 2 artists from Miami, taking tour-goers to unexpected locations around the city. Each location is selected by the artist-leaders, and will not be revealed ahead of time in order to keep riders in suspense. “We’ll load into the big yellow school bus and be completely at the artists’ mercy!†– Agatha Wara, BFI . The artists leading the tours are: Kevin Arrow | Clifton Childree | Christy Gast | Adler Guerrier | PLUS secret special guests!
