Noche de Arte: Full Circle 11/3/25

Noche de Arte: Full Circle
Monday, 11/03/2025-11/24/2025, 06:00 pm-08:00 pm
Gallery 100 at InterContinental Miami Hotel
100 Chopin Plaza,
Miami, Florida, 33131
Website
Cost: Free

This November, Noche de Arte returns to where it all began—with the artists who started it all. Co-founders Jean Blackwell Font and Ignacio “Iggy” Font bring their creative partnership full circle in an intimate exhibition that reveals the origin story of collaboARTive through their individual works.

Full Circle celebrates the journey from two artists sharing a vision to a thriving community of 400 artists and a movement that has touched thousands. Through Jean’s exploration of inherited memory and Iggy’s meditation on transformation and renewal, the exhibition explores the themes that sparked collaboARTive in 2017: connection, accessibility, and the transformative power of creating.

For Jean and Iggy, what they do and say through collaboARTive is integral to the work they make. The organization embodies the same philosophy that drives their art: everyone has value, everyone has meaning.

The Work
Jean Blackwell Font: 15 Generations
Since 2010, Jean has developed her 15 Generations project to connect people of all historical backgrounds to each other and to their origins. Through personal interviews, oral history, photography, collagraphy, collage, and assemblage, this ongoing body of work stretches across oceans to Europe, Latin America, and the Caribbean.

For this exhibition, Jean focuses on epigenetic trauma—the complex emotions and stories embedded within human DNA and passed through generations. Using assemblage, mixed media, printmaking, and collage, she creates an immersive visual experience that is both universal and deeply personal. Her work strengthens the understanding that we are a universal family, connected by bloodlines, language, shared traditions, and dedication to family—traits that bind every living being together.

Ignacio Font: Structures Series
Iggy’s Structures Series offers an accessible entry point into paintings born from human experience—the transformation of trauma into something beautiful that can hang in someone’s living room. Rather than focusing on the emotional weight, the series invites viewers to explore structure: the words that manifest each piece, the imperfect geometric lines that build the foundation, and the materials that carry the work’s deepest meaning.

Manifestations Structure emerged from the romantic notion of manifesting larger space for collaboARTive—space that belongs to the artists, where they can take care of each other and thrive.

Broken Structure gives new life to damaged canvases—sliced, torn, neglected, even partially eaten by rats. Old canvases abandoned by other artists, stiff canvas unused for years, gauze mesh forgotten in storage—materials that have outlived their original purpose become perfect for something new. The work is stopped at the point where it’s ready to be worked on—not complete, but good enough. The broken parts give us our strength and uniqueness.

The Structures Series embodies the same principle that built collaboARTive: making art from things that have been overlooked or neglected, giving value to what others discard, and recognizing that what’s been broken might be exactly what someone needs to thrive. Everyone has value. Everyone has meaning.

The Origin Story
In 2017, Jean and Iggy recognized a critical gap in Miami’s arts ecosystem: emerging and mid-career artists were being priced out of studio spaces and creative opportunities. They envisioned something different—a place where artists could work affordably, connect authentically, and build sustainable creative practices together.

This exhibition brings their journey full circle, celebrating not just where collaboARTive has been, but where it’s going— building Miami’s most welcoming creative community. What they do and say through collaboARTive is integral to the work they make: everyone has value, everyone has meaning.

Visit the Exhibition
When: Every Monday in November, 6–8 PM
Where: Gallery 100, InterContinental Miami, 100 Chopin Plaza, Miami FL 33131
Admission: Free and open to all

Join us for light bites from InterContinental Miami, complimentary postcard collage activities, and the chance to meet Jean and Iggy as they share the story behind the story—the moments, struggles, and triumphs that built collaboARTive into what it is today.

Hollywood Art and Culture Center, celebrating its 50th anniversary, will unveil the addition of the Hollywood Arts Hub to its historic Kagey Home main campus with a grand opening ribbon cutting set for noon on Sunday, November 2 – exactly 50 years from The Center’s opening in 1975 – with local dignitaries. The public is invited to attend the special event and enjoy complimentary tours, performances, artmaking and more in the new arts education wing.

The new Hollywood Arts Hub now holds the unique architectural distinction in Broward County of having adjoining, functional spaces built 101 years apart. It includes a 110-seat Arts Auditorium, the Create More Art Studio, a Digital Media Lab with multimedia studio classrooms, the outdoor Imagine Courtyard, a multi-purpose room for dance, drama, artist talks, film screenings, meeting space and more. This building will be a visual landmark in Downtown Hollywood drawing residents and visitors to The Center.

The distinctly dramatic and contemporary design by award winning architectural firm, Brooks + Scarpa merges with the existing two-story, historic 1924 Mediterranean Revival architecture of the Kagey Home, which houses The Center galleries and administrative offices.

Construction of the Arts Hub was funded by the City of Hollywood through dedicated funding from the 2019 General Obligation Bond that was approved by City voters in a special election. The Pirtle Construction team broke ground on April 30, 2024, and will meet the opening deadline as planned.

As part of the Arts Hub grand opening, residents and visitors can also view The Center’s current exhibitions: Dennis Scholl: A Day of Four Sunsets, Felice Grodin: Where do I go from here? and Brian Reedy: Gothic Pop Prints. These exhibits were made possible through support from the City of Hollywood, Broward County Cultural Division, Broward County Board of County Commissioners, Max Chira and Family, State of Florida Division of Arts and Culture, National Endowment for the Arts, Community Foundation Broward, David and Francie Horvitz Family Foundation, Josephine S. Leiser Foundation, Memorial Healthcare System, The Windhover Foundation & Quadracci Family, Kofsky Weinger, PA, and Helen Ingham Foundation.

Feeding South Florida® – the leading hunger-relief organization in South Florida – has teamed up with the Florida Panthers, Publix, Publix Charities, Link Logistics, Morgan Stanley, the Friedlander Group and Commissioner Daniela Jean to honor South Florida veterans this Veterans Day. The Third Annual Veterans Appreciation Luncheon will take place at Amerant Bank Arena on Tuesday, Nov. 11, at 11 a.m.

Veterans from all branches of the military are invited to an afternoon of appreciation featuring a chef-prepared meal, live entertainment, and special recognition. This free event welcomes each veteran and one guest.

Feeding South Florida is experiencing an unprecedented increase in providing nutritious food to over 1.2 million individuals in South Florida due to inflation, the strained supply chain, rising fuel prices, and increased housing costs, among other factors. Veterans dedicate their lives to serving the United States. However, many veterans and active military members and their loved ones face food insecurity. According to Feeding America, one in nine working-age veterans is food insecure, and 1.2 million low-income veterans use the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP).

History Fort Lauderdale, proud steward of our community’s past by making our heritage accessible and engaging to residents and visitors, will celebrate the opening of its newest exhibit, “The Growth and History of the Broward County Sheriff’s Office” with a special public preview, free opening reception and book signing on Tuesday, October 14, from 6 p.m. – 8 p.m. This engaging exhibition takes a closer look at the department’s progress over the years, from 1915 to the present, while also highlighting the sometimes-scandalous history that has shaped its story. The exhibit features images and narratives from the department’s origins to the prohibition era, organized crime, gambling and outlaws, to mid-century racial tensions and finally, the expansion, modernization, and professionalism of today.

As part of the festivities, guests are invited to participate in a “Florida Scribes & Stories” free book signing and meet & greet with retired decorated BSO Deputy Sheriff Joe Williams, author of Unearthed. Williams is also a major contributor of artifacts and photographs to the new exhibit.

A complement to the exhibit, Unearthed captures the dark history of Broward County in the 1940s. A tough-as-nails sheriff who did things his way. The New York mobster Meyer Lansky who profited from his friendship with the sheriff’s department. It is a story of a young cop hired to enforce the Florida gambling laws, ultimately leading to his untimely death. A 75-year-old story of his tragic death from a car accident … or was it?

Drinks and light bites will be provided. Guests may RSVP to bit.ly/FloridaScribesWilliams2025.

History Fort Lauderdale is proud to host a variety of engaging multicultural experiences, year-round. It seeks to bring awareness to the community through both traveling exhibits and multiple permanent exhibits including “Women Trailblazers,” “Roots of Resilience: The Journey of Black Broward,” “Fort Lauderdale – the Early Years,” “Fashion & Musical Theatre,” “From Dugouts to Dream Yachts: the story of boatbuilding along the New River,” Seminole Arts & Culture,” “New River Archaeology,” and “Take PRIDE, a retrospective on LGBTQ life in South Florida.” The nonprofit museum also hosts an artists’ collective collaborative space.

Hollywood Art and Culture Center Presents One Exhibition, Three Artists – Dennis Scholl, Felice Grodin and Brian Reedy 10/18/25 – 1/4/26

Hollywood Art and Culture Center Presents One Exhibition, Three Artists – Dennis Scholl, Felice Grodin and Brian Reedy
Saturday, 10/18/2025-01/04/2026, 10:00 am-05:00 pm

1650 Harrison St.,
Hollywood, Florida, 33020
Website
Cost: $10 – general admission; $5 – Seniors 65 +, Students 13 -17, Free for Hollywood Art and Culture Center members, children under 12, active US military personnel families and teachers

Hollywood Art and Culture Center, celebrating its 50th anniversary, will feature three new art exhibitions for the fall/winter season. Dennis Scholl: A Day of Four Sunsets and Felice Grodin: Where Do I Go From Here? will be on display from Saturday, October 18, through Sunday, January 4, and Brian Reedy: Gothic Pop Prints will be on display from October 18 through November 2 in the main gallery space. An opening reception will take place on October 18 beginning at 6 p.m.

A Day of Four Sunsets presents a new body of work by Miami-based artist Dennis Scholl, exploring the poetics of space exploration through assemblages of NASA memorabilia. The exhibition takes its title from astronaut John Glenn’s experience of witnessing four sunsets as he orbited Earth in 1962, evoking themes of time, memory, and the sublime vastness of the cosmos. Scholl’s work, rooted in the language of historical artifacts and collective memory, arranges space exploration ephemera into compositions structured by the dodecagon — a recurring motif in his practice that represents cyclical time and cosmic order. Over the past decade, he has meticulously gathered NASA-related materials, including mission patches, declassified documents, photographs, and newspaper clippings, integrating them into intricate assemblages that reframe our understanding of humanity’s relationship with the unknown. Scholl’s work gives us an insight into his keen collector’s eye and his skill at design and storytelling. In Untitled (Viking Orbiter II), photographs of Mars captured using surface imaging are arranged in thoughtful compositions. Visitors will find themselves viewing a piece of history transported back to 1969 with the work Untitled (Man on Moon). This exhibition contains more than 14 works of art that immerse the viewer into the history and collective memory of outer space, the universe, and astronauts. From real space food to sculptures created using space gloves, to viewfinders with images of the universe, this exhibition will fascinate science, history and modern art enthusiasts alike.

Felice Grodin’s architectural training informs her drawings, intricately weaving together elements of imagination, the future, and the past. Where Do I Go From Here? features more than 10 new works, some of which were created during Grodin’s time as a Center 2025 Spring Artist in Residence. With meticulous care and references to ancient civilizations, Grodin renders lines into complex arrangements of circles and curves, creating dynamic three-dimensional forms and exploring the concept of mental boundaries. Her art transports viewers to a psychological realm reminiscent of maps, cities, landscapes, and speculative future worlds. These ink drawings on mylar can sometimes rely on chance, or automatism, liberating not only the creative process, but inviting viewers into the surreal.

Gothic Pop Prints by Miami artist Brian Reedy features more than 10 custom linoleum block prints. The Center commissioned Reedy to create a work about Lizzie Borden inspired by Lizzie the Musical, which will be performed Oct. 18 – Nov. 1 at the Hollywood Central Performing Arts Center. In addition to the Lizzie Borden print, the exhibition features the macabre and spooky iconography of hauntings, oddities, and the afterlife in an expressionist and graphic style. Reedy’s woodblock prints combine his eye for graphic design, the skill of European medieval woodcuts and Japanese woodblock prints into modern pop culture masterpieces. Reedy creates modern works of art using the painstaking process of block printing, the craft of hand carving wood blocks to transfer ink to paper. Brian’s expertise in this art form has provided a unique combination of traditional print making with pop-culture iconography and themes.

A guided tour of the exhibition will take place on Thursday, December 4, at 7 p.m. An artist talk will take place on Saturday, December 13, at 1 p.m. On Saturdays, November 15 and December 20, at 6 p.m., a free curator tour/Downtown Hollywood Art Walk will be conducted.

These exhibits were made possible through support from the City of Hollywood, Broward County Cultural Division, Broward County Board of County Commissioners, Max Chira and Family, State of Florida Division of Arts and Culture, National Endowment for the Arts, Community Foundation Broward, David and Francie Horvitz Family Foundation, Josephine S. Leiser Foundation, Memorial Healthcare System, The Windhover Foundation & Quadracci Family, Kofsky Weinger, PA, and Helen Ingham Foundation.

To keep young drivers safe and vehicles road ready, AutoNation is helping local families start the school year off on the right track by hosting free one-hour Car Care Clinics at select stores.

Backed by a new survey by Atomik Research, which shows that 92% of parents of driving-age children believe routine maintenance is key to safety and that 42% said dashboard warning indicators were ignored for a week or more, including 10% who say vehicle warnings were ignored for three months or more, the clinics are designed to give teens and young adults the knowledge and confidence to care for their vehicles while staying safe behind the wheel and preventing costly repairs.

With simple, hands-on tips on everything from checking tire pressure to understanding dashboard warning lights, AutoNation’s expert technicians will share essential car care advice such as jumpstarting a battery, proper tire inflation, changing a flat tire, checking vehicle fluids and safety items to store in a car in case of an emergency.

In addition to car care tips, clinics will incorporate driver safety education led by local community partners. Participants will have opportunities to ask questions and will receive a mini car care kit with essential items to support their safety and car care journey.

Parents and guardians must attend with their young drivers. Everyone, including parents, must register in advance. Seats are limited. Click on “Get Tickets” and sign up today!

Just as the heroic pups, who believe “no job is too big, no pup is too small,” work together to protect their community on the TV show, families visiting MODS will work together to save the day and learn about how real-life professionals coordinate to keep people safe and happy. On select days, Chewy Vet Care will also host an interactive Vet Clinic, where children can step into the role of animal caretakers by practicing empathy and learning how to care for pets and other animals in need. Families will also have the opportunity to meet the brave individuals – both human and furry – who help keep our communities safe and healthy with Meet & Greets, a Touch-a-Truck Zone and K-9 Demonstrations.

Cost: Free

Join us at The CAMP Gallery and on Instagram (@thecampgallery) this Saturday, April 5, from 2–4 PM for the closing of our March Exhibitions Asking for a Friend and Between Stillness & Growth, featuring an Artist Talk at 3 PM with exhibiting artist Silvana Soriano.

Born and raised in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (b. 1961), Silvana Soriano is a visual artist currently based in Miami, Florida. Soriano has participated in numerous solo and group exhibitions in Brazil, Spain, France, USA and Cuba since 1984, including having her work featured at Pinta Miami Art Fair. She has also illustrated several books, spanning from children’s literature to poetry. Soriano graduated with a BFA in Art History and Art Education from Bennett University. She furthered her studies at the esteemed School of Visual Arts, in Brazil. Soriano has been an educator for over two decades, at public schools, non-profits, and universities.

Silvana Soriano’s works in Asking for a Friend draws deep inspiration from the writings of Brazilian author Clarice Lispector, whose exploration of women’s inner lives and existential struggles resonates throughout Soriano’s art. The four large collages on canvas and three smaller drypoint and china ink works reflect themes of intimacy, autonomy, and vulnerability, central to Lispector’s literary universe. Using a layered, textural approach, Soriano brings these literary figures to life, weaving together elements of their narratives into striking visual compositions.

Just as Lispector’s characters grapple with self-discovery and emotional depth, Soriano’s pieces delve into the personal, often hidden, experiences of women navigating their identities. Together, these works create a visual dialogue about resilience, community, and the shared human experience of seeking guidance, echoing the themes of emotional complexity and reflection found in the exhibition.

Florida continues to own a devastating statistic when it comes to childhood drownings. The Sunshine State has the highest rate of drowning in the nation for those under 18 years old, more than double the next closest states of Texas and Arizona.

To counter those statistics, the YMCA of South Florida, which has one of the most comprehensive water safety and drowning prevention programs, highlights the importance of swim lessons with its annual “Swim for Jenny,” a week-long initiative providing free swim lessons to individuals of all ages throughout South Florida, with the goal of reducing the risk of drowning and promoting a culture of aquatic safety in local communities.

Generously underwritten by Nicklaus Children’s Health System, this year’s Swim for Jenny is set for March 24-28 at the following YMCA locations:

• L.A. Lee YMCA/Mizell Community Center – 1409 NW 6th St, Fort Lauderdale
• Greater Hollywood YMCA Family Center – 3161 Taft Street, Hollywood
• Hallandale Beach YMCA Family Center – 501 SE 1 Avenue, Hallandale Beach
• Pembroke Pines YMCA Family Center – 501 SW 172 Avenue, Pembroke Pines
• Weston YMCA Family Center – 20201 Saddle Club Rd, Weston

Launched in 2013, “Swim for Jenny” is named after a young girl who drowned two years prior because she couldn’t swim. Since the initiative was implemented, more than 25,000 people have taken part, and more than 100,000 swim lessons have been provided.

Miami-Dade and Broward counties lead the nation in child drownings, and last year alone, 101 child fatal drownings were reported in Florida. For every child who dies from drowning, another seven receive emergency department care for nonfatal submersion injuries.

To register for free swim lessons through “Swim for Jenny”, visit ymcasouthflorida.org/swim-for-jenny or call 954-334-9622.

Cost: $35

Drunk driving deaths have increased by 31% over the past decade with someone being killed or injured in a drunk driving crash every 78 seconds. Two out of three people will be impacted by drunk driving in their lifetime. Drunk driving is a 100 percent preventable crime, and Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD)’s goal is to end impaired driving.

In the ongoing fight against drunk driving and drugged driving, MADD Southeast Florida will host the 14th Annual UKG & Salah Foundation Walk Like MADD & MADD Dash Fort Lauderdale 5K presented by the Sheriff’s Foundation of Broward County on Sunday, April 27. Thousands of walkers, runners, strollers, wheelchair athletes, and supporters of all ages will come together in downtown Fort Lauderdale to raise awareness and funds to end impaired driving for good. The in-person race will start near Huizenga Plaza at 7:30 a.m., or supporters can also participate in a virtual option.

Festivities will include children’s activities, an awards ceremony, live musical performances, and vendor/educational booths. The event will be attended by dignitaries including Walk Like MADD Fort Lauderdale Founder and Honorary Chairperson Heather Geronemus; Honorary Chairperson Colonel Nichole Anderson, Undersheriff of Broward Sheriff’s Office; Broward County Sheriff Gregory Tony; Sgt. Ryan Clifton from Broward Sheriff’s Office; Sgt. Trevor Thomas from Fort Lauderdale Police Department’s DUI Unit; and Lt. Indiana Miranda from Florida Highway Patrol.

Walk Like MADD & MADD Dash Fort Lauderdale 5K is a community-driven 5K that raises awareness about drunk and drugged driving and underage drinking while uniting community members around MADD’s mission. Since it was established in 2011, Walk Like MADD & MADD Dash Fort Lauderdale 5K has raised nearly $4 million that stays in the South Florida community to save lives and support victims of drunk driving, making it the most successful grassroots fundraiser in the history of MADD. Every dollar donated remains in South Florida to provide victim services and prevention education at no cost.

MADD is committed to leading prevention efforts with young adults, collaborating with law enforcement to keep roads safe from impaired drivers, as well as advocating for stricter sentencing and stronger laws, including the HALT Act that mandates anti-drunk driving technology in every new car. MADD continues to provide support services to victims and survivors of impaired driving at no charge through victim services specialists and the 24-Hour Victim Help Line.

“Every day, 37 lives are needlessly cut short in drunk driving crashes, leaving behind shattered families and communities. This heartbreaking, 100 percent preventable crime changes lives forever—and it’s why we must stand together, stronger than ever, to raise awareness and fight for change,” said Heather Geronemus, past chairwoman of the MADD National Board of Directors. “Walk Like MADD & MADD Dash Fort Lauderdale 5K is more than just an event—it’s a movement that saves lives and supports victims right here in South Florida. This impactful day of hope and action wouldn’t be possible without the unwavering support of our attendees, board members, sponsors, and donors, who share the commitment to end impaired driving once and for all.” Geronemus’ late father, Dr. Robert Perry Geronemus was struck and killed by a drunk driver in 2009.

Event sponsors include Signature Sponsors UKG and Salah Foundation; Presenting Sponsor Sheriff’s Foundation of Broward County; Road Guardian Sponsor Craig Zinn Automotive Group; Corporate Champion Sponsors Broward County Sheriff’s Office, Durée & Company, Florida Highway Patrol, Fort Lauderdale Police Department, and Memorial Healthcare System; Spotlight Sponsors Bank of America, BBX Capital and Westway Towing; and MADD Milestone Sponsor Warren Henry Automotive Group.

South Florida Symphony Orchestra Presents Its Premiere of Leonard Bernstein’s Candide 1/19/25

South Florida Symphony Orchestra Presents Its Premiere of Leonard Bernstein’s Candide
Saturday, 01/19/2025-, 07:30 pm-09:30 pm
Tennessee Williams Theatre
5901 College Rd,
Key West, Florida, 33040
Website
Cost: Tickets for Candide are on sale now beginning at $45.

Glitter and be gay! South Florida Symphony Orchestra (SFSO) is proud to open its 27th Key West Icons & Rebels Masterworks season with its premiere of Leonard Bernstein’s satirical masterpiece Candide! The concert will take place on Sunday, January 19, at 7:30 p.m., at the Tennessee Williams Theatre at The College of the Florida Keys (5901 College Road).

Led by SFSO’s award-winning music director and multi-generation Key West Conch native Sebrina María Alfonso, this semi-staged concert version of Candide follows in the manner of Lonny Price’s 2004 production for the New York Philharmonic, made popular through the PBS series “Great Performances.” Bernstein’s acclaimed masterpiece is played out with the orchestra, minimal sets and costumes, a dynamic cast of actor-vocalists featuring David Walton (Candide); Chelsea Lehnea (Cunegonde); Jason Zacher (Dr. Pangloss/Voltaire); Alissa Anderson (The Old Lady), Lovell Rose (Maximilian), and the South Florida Symphony Chorus performing all together on stage. Dan Wallace Miller provides stage direction.

Experience Candide’s riotous journey as he embarks on a whirlwind adventure teeming with humor, unexpected twists, and profound philosophical reflections. Bernstein’s iconic music, adapted from Voltaire’s famed Enlightenment-era novella, sets the backdrop for an unforgettable evening filled with laughter and existential musings. An equal opportunity offender, Candide spares no one. Everything and everyone is fair game in this irreverent satire.

From the over-the-top heights of Cunegonde’s “Glitter and Be Gay” and the rarely heard comedic duet “We Are Women” to the stirring depths of Candide’s introspective ponderings, audiences will enjoy a provocative perspective on life’s absurdities and the enduring pursuit of optimism.

Now in its 27th season, SFSO invites Key West audiences to a tantalizing masterworks season featuring a Symphony premiere of J. Strauss, II’s The Blue Danube, R. Strauss’ Four Last Songs and Berlioz’ King Lear Overture on February 14, and Mozart’s enigmatic Requiem with special guest vocalists and the South Florida Symphony Chorus on March 15.

From sold-out masterworks performances to accompanying today’s musicians such as Natalie Merchant and performing modern musical scores, South Florida’s largest symphonic orchestra is continuing its journey of excellence inspiring audiences of all ages and musical genres. This season’s popular collaborations included performances of ARRIVAL From Sweden: The Music of ABBA and Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas, featuring the iconic film screened live with audio and musical accompaniment.

Tickets for Candide are on sale now beginning at $45. Season subscriptions are on sale, for the Key West Season at the Tennessee Williams Theatre. Tickets may be purchased by visiting southfloridasymphony.org or by calling (305) 295-7676. Subscribers receive a 20% discount off single ticket prices and have access to the best seats in the house. Three-concert packages in Key West start at $92; Flexible ticket packages are also available.

Site Memory: The Sculpture Garden (VFW Garden), led by landscape architect James Brazil.
