The Jungle Brothers

Straight Out the Jungle, Mike Gee (born Michael Small; Harlem, NY), DJ Sammy B (born Sammy Burwell; Harlem, NY), and Baby Bam (born Nathaniel Hall; Brooklyn, NY) came together as the Jungle Brothers in the mid-’80s and began their recording career at the dance label Idler. The result of the sessions, Straight Out the Jungle, was released in early 1988. The album’s Afrocentric slant gained the Jungle Brothers entry into the Native Tongue Posse, a loose collective formed by hip-hop legend Afrikaa Bambaataa, including Queen Latifah (and, later, De La Soul and A Tribe Called Quest). The album’s most far-out cut was “I’ll House You,” a collaboration with house producer Todd Terry and an early experiment in what later became known as hip-house. The single “I’ll House You,” added to the album in 1989, is known for being the first hip-house record recorded outside of the Chicago scene, which was a club hit that drastically changed the way the hip-hop and dance-music industries worked. Their first album, Straight Out the Jungle, was released on an independent record label (Warlock). In spite of the commercial failure of Straight Out the Jungle, Warner Bros. Records soon signed the group and released Done By the Forces of Nature in November 1989. The album was a critical smash at the time, though it has since been largely ignored by hip-hop critics in favor of the similarly acclaimed alternative hip-hop album 3 Feet High and Rising by De La Soul, released the same year. – See more at: http://www.hiphopscriptures.com/jungle-brothers/#sthash.cWBDXsyV.dpuf

Art Africa Miami Arts Fair Set To Weave Art and Culture Into The Fabric Of The #HistoricOvertown Cultural Movement

#HistoricOvertownSoulBasel Is The Cultural Epicenter of Cultural Influence For Arts, Culture and Music

Miami, Fl-November 18, 2014-The Urban Collective continues to invigorate the cultural landscape of the Historic Overtown community with the anticipation of this year’s 2014 Art Africa Miami Arts Fair(AAMAF), taking place December 3-7, 2014 at 801 NW 3rd Ave, Miami, Fl 33136. The AAMAF remains relevant in its 4th year, and continues to push boundaries, leading the way for innovation, creativity and inclusion of some of the top art artist influencers of the African and Caribbean Diaspora. The Art Africa Arts Fair  is funded by the Southeast Overtown/ Park West Community Redevelopment Agency This year’s fair falls under the marketing campaign and moniker of #HistoricOvertownSoulBasel and was orchestrated by The Urban Collective’s CEO, Neil Hall, as a collaborative partnership between the City of Miami Commissioner Keon Hardemon, Southeast Overtown Parkwest Community Redevelopment Agency and the Black Archives of art cultural offerings throughout Overtown during Art Basel in December. #HistoricOvertownSoulBasel celebrates Overtown’s music, art and cultural vibe. The Urban Collective is a social conscious design, art and culture lifestyle brand created to inform, inspire and engage underserved communities in the power of the arts to transform their environment.

In 2011, visionary, architect and creator of AAMAF, Neil Hall launched the inaugural AAMAF that showcased engaging and thought provoking art that served a continuum of the Black, Caribbean, social, political, hip hop artistic strand that spoke to the Black presence missing from the Art Basel script. The AAMAF narrative has ignited a spark in the urban art community resulting in the creation of art fairs like Prizm, Kroma, Fusion Mia, Global Caribbean and Multitudes added to this cultural revolution. The wave of celebrations continues with the appointment of Babacar M’Bow as the Director of MOCA North Miami and also the Greater Miami Convention and Visitor’s Bureau’s Cultural Department’s marketing campaign Art of Black Miami. This years location for AAMAF was make possible by a partnership with the Mt. Zion Developments, Incorporated.

“This year’s effort continues to sustain the dynamic discourse of the AAMAF narrative and artistic strands of Black and Caribbean culture revolution”, boldly stated by cultural influencer, Neil Hall.

“Art, music, dance, and culture once reflected the vibrancy of the Overtown community. The Art Africa Arts Fair assists Historic Overtown in highlighting such a rich history while ensuring it participates in the blossoming of a new era of excellence,” stated by District 5, City of Miami Commissioner Keon Hardemon.
“All across the country, art has been a catalyst for the rebirth of communities that have been disinvested,” said Clarence Woods, SEOPW CRA Executive Director “ We see Art Africa as one of the sparks that will help to light the flames of economic prosperity here in Overtown.

AAMAF opens Wednesday, December 3, 2014 with a reception from 7pm-10pm,immediately following the opening night of #HistoricOvertownSoulBasel: A Celebration of Art, Music that will showcase the works of the late Overtown artist Purvis Young at the Lyric Theatre. The AAMAF gallery opens daily from 11am-7pm.

Other cultural offerings during the fair include a live mural being curated by Kyle Holbrook, CEO of Moving Lives of Kids Community Mural Project; artist’s talks produced by Caribbean-American intellectual, Dr. Carol Boyce Davies and Soul Basel Brunch and Conversation.

The exhibit will open on December 3rd to coincide with Art Basel Miami Beach 2014

Impulse, Reason, Sense, Conflict. Abstract Art from the Ella Fontanals-Cisneros Collection attempts to focus on the typical features of abstraction that still permeate in art production today and define it as a movement instead of an aesthetic category. The exhibit is divided in five areas: Abstract Impulses is dedicated to the crisis in representation and the rupture in mimetic representation. Laboratory of Reason refers to the questioning of the nature, essence and even the existence of art. Uncommon Senses relates to the integration and crossover of other mediums and other art forms that required the use of multiple senses, both from its makers and art’s viewers. Spatial Conflicts touches on Abstraction as a radical change in the conception of spatiality. The last section Expanded Field deals with many artists’ experimentation with non-traditional media like photography, film and collage. This group of works will only exist in a separate form in the catalogue. In the exhibition space they will be presented within the other curatorial groupings.

The exhibition includes 101 pieces by 72 artists from different generations and latitudes, who share their interpretations and philosophies of abstraction. This exhibit will also be the first CIFO exhibit curated by the foundation itself.

Art Basel Miami Beach hours:
December 3, 4, 6, 7 | 9am – 4pm
Please join us for Breakfast from 9am – Noon

New Era, Cool J’s, Cushy Gigs Presents: Locals Only at Midpoint Miami

Miami’s Abstrk, Atomik, Pucho and Quake are four legendary MSG crew artists with a large following with the amazing talent and street creed to match. There will also be additional paintings and sculptures by Crome, Hoxxoh, Hest, Arive, Xeno, Five, Ox, Eson. The show will be co-curated by Jill C. Weisberg and Omar Khan.

The artists have have collaborated with New Era and Cool J’s. Abstrk, Atomik, Pucho, Quake have designed their own limited edition snap back hat with New Era, the industry standard in handcrafted, embroidered caps.

MSG has been creating large-scale graffiti murals in Miami, Florida for close to 20 years. Artists range from sculptors and bombers to fine artists and illustrators. The MSG crew started when a group of up and coming artists were doing a new style of graffiti that they considered Miami Style Graffiti. MSG members didn’t feel that the established crews, who were still doing 80’s style New York graffiti at the time, represented their work so they started their own movement. Back then there wasn’t the internet to lean on for inspiration; there was break dance movies, zines and the competition. The older artists kept their techniques to themselves because they were threatened by the younger artists who were getting up everywhere and backing that up with first-rate productions. Now MSG is the established crew, but times have changed and now they feel part of the same community that once persecuted them.

“ARTISTically Fashioned” Art Basel Celebration
Due to overwhelming response and success of last year’s event, “ARTISTically Fashioned” Art Basel Celebration is returning to the heart of Midtown Miami during the most prestigious and internationally known art celebration in Miami, ART BASEL 2014. With art invading fashion; on December 5th and 6th, 2014, ARTISTically Fashioned! will be of avant garde, abstracted by bright colors and hip fashion. Artistic expressions created through art and reflected by fashion.

Come enjoy a 6,000 square feet boutique enhanced with a live showroom experience. Models posed and styled LIVE while artists posted in various areas painting LIVE. The celebration will take place inside The Alessandra Gold Concept Store; four walls filled with the concepts of Alessandra Gold. A collaborative space featuring both Gold’s house label, her KruZin shoe label, vintage finds and an international assortment of designers- not to mention a full photo studio adjacent to the shoe section.

Un Cutt Art.jpg NYC street artist, known for his MJ portraits, Un Cutt Ink will be in the zone painting live outside as you enter!

Goddess Fashion Factory local designer Loreal Banks will be on site sewing special “Artistically Fashioned” limited edition original clutches.
Eco Fashion + Eco Art = “Atizana Inspired” – made from recycled oil drums and hand painted with tropical love from Haiti.
These beautiful pieces from sculptures to accessories will be at ARTISTically Fashioned! this year!

Fiber artist, Constance BLACKMON Lee explores the relationship and combination of conventional everyday materials and unconventional materials found in nature. Bringing these together using traditional processes such as loom weaving, crocheting and coiling basketry, produces opportunities to re-purpose and re-use several materials into exciting art adventures. Her goal is to transcend the objects expected life-cycle into unexpected and interesting “art-infused longevity”.

From beatboxing to poetry, KIND Healthy Snacks encourages South Florida to Do the KIND Thing® by joining them in recognition of our community’s most talented young artists. During Art Basel 2014, KIND will shine a light on the importance of music and the arts in the lives of youth through their ichooseart campaign, an effort that includes several spontaneous street performances by student artists, a formal gallery of their work, and a unique opening night celebration. Focusing on the power of choice, KIND hopes to inspire guests to make powerful decisions in their lives both large and small, from living healthy lifestyles all the way to leaving a positive mark on the world through simple acts of kindness.

Starting with a Thursday night student showcase from 6:30 pm – 10:30 pm at Brick House Wynwood (187 NW 28th Street), KIND invites the community to experience the talent, passion and dedication of local young performers while enjoying cocktails, refreshments and the buzz of Midtown Miami. This event, free and open to the public, will serve as the kickoff to a series of pop-up performances that Basel-goers will spot throughout the city on December 5 and 6.
By joining the ichooseart movement, Art Basel attendees will reinforce the notion of art being accessible to all, something that can provide light in the dark, guidance and inspiration… all starting with the powerful choice to live a KINDer, healthier, more positive life.

Cost: By invite only

Rem Koolhaas’ highly anticipated Residences at Park Grove just added more extras to the extraordinary, as developers Terra Group and The Related Group unveiled the secret to the perfect life during a private celebration with Colin Cowie, and first view of Jaume Plensa’s sculpture series “The Three Poets” in its permanent new home in Coconut Grove.

Cowie, known for his lavish international productions and celebrity clientele like Oprah Winfrey and Tom Cruise, is creating the ultimate sensory experience as the official “Lifestyle Curator” for Park Grove residents, with exquisitely good taste and touches, from the reception at valet, to the chilled hand towels and sun products served poolside on silver trays.
“The experience will be in a constant state of change, as the day becomes night, the music that is playing, the volume at which it plays, how the lights are set, and the fragrance in the air—it will all evolve,” said Cowie, as he toasted guests. “These are just a sliver of the nuances that we will orchestrate to create the aura of Park Grove.”
Nearly 1,000 guests enjoyed an elaborate production with lush greenery throughout, true to the Coconut Grove and Park Grove aesthetic—along with posh lounge areas, flowing champagne and even a full coffee bar—peeks into the sublime lifestyle the property will boast.
The Plensa sculpture series has traveled the globe with installations in public spaces before the developers acquired it for Park Grove. Plensa is best known for his public, monumental figurative sculptures that can be seen across the globe from Calgary to Dubai—The Three Poets continues the international artist’s theme and is visible to the public along Bayshore Drive, internally lit and sitting atop 20-foot poles overlooking the bay.

Notable Guests: Colin Cowie, national authority on wedding and event planning and amenities curator for Park Grove; Pedro Martin, CEO & Cofounder of Terra Group; David Martin, President and Co-founder of Terra Group; Jorge Perez, President and CEO The Related Group; Carlos Rosso, President of the Condo Division at The Related Group; Patrick Campbell, Vice President at The Related Group; Horacio de Leon, President Douglas Elliman Development Marketing;

11000 SW 57 Avenue,
Pinecrest, Florida 33156

Cost: $12 Adults; $8 Kids; Family Pack (2 Adults + 2 Kids) $30

Orchestra Miami will present a fun-filled Family Concert, featuring a performance of The Purple Palace, composed by Bruce Adolphe with the story written by Louise Gikow. The 28-piece orchestra will be led by Orchestra Miami Artistic Director Elaine Rinaldi along with a special guest narrator. This delightful program will last approximately 50 minutes and is perfect for children ages 3 and up.

The Purple Palace tells the comic but touching tale of the land of Chromatica, where everything is light and color. Queen Red and King Blue have a child, Princess Purple. When she becomes queen, she banishes all colors but purple. This leads to nothing but trouble for her, and she eventually comes to understand her mistake. She invites all the banished colors to return, and Chromatica is once again vibrant and full of color. Beyond its affirmative social message for children- emphasizing the value of diversity and democracy- the story is rich in visual images that are clearly portrayed in the music. Each color has a theme, and as the plot unfolds, orchestral colors are varied and mixed just as an artist would use colors to illustrate the story in a book.

The concert will be on Sunday, January 18, 2015 at 4:00 PM at Pinecrest Gardens’ Banyan Bowl, located at 11000 SW 57 Avenue, Pinecrest, FL 33156. Tickets are $12 for Adults and $8 for children, and Family Packs (2 Adults & 2 Children) are available for $30. Children 2 and younger admitted free of charge with lap seating only. Seating is by general admission and there is ample free, on-site parking. Tickets can be purchased online through Orchestra Miami’s website (www.OrchestraMiami.org) or by calling Brown Paper Tickets at (800) 838-3006. Further information can be obtained by visiting www.orchestramiami.org or by calling (305) 274-2103.

Cost: Pre – Registration $50, walk-ins $60

Ever wanted the opportunity to play football in Europe? Well on December 6th, Rise Above Training, former Miami Dolphins Wide Receiver Chris Chambers and the 2014 New Yorker Lions bring you the first ever Annual European Football Tryouts and your chance to grab the opportunity you’ve always wanted.

This camp is for men looking for their chance to play football overseas and develop themselves as both individuals and players. EF Tryouts will test players in a combine setting while simultaneously helping them develop their game by teaming up with former NFL Pro Chris Chambers and his staff of quality coaches.

European Football rules allow 2 American passport players also known as import players on the field each play, yet teams can have an unlimited amount of import players on their roster. In order to fill the roster with the best available import players, teams are trying to connect to coaches and former players in the US but have found it to be difficult. With little available knowledge being made about players who are brought in from abroad and being overseas, the ability to be linked to quality players is not always easy. EF Tryouts aim to build the bridge that will connect US players to European coaches because they believe that every player deserves an opportunity to reach their goals and achieve the dream at playing football at the highest level possible.

Testing will consist of Combine Drills, which includes 40 yard dash, 15 yard Shuttle Run, Broad Jump, Vertical Jump and Med Ball Toss, alongside Strength Drills, Individual Drills, 1 on 1’s and 7 on 7’s. Participants will be able to showcase their skills while scouts from The New Yorker Lions, Oldenburg Knights, Falcons Cologne, Galaxy Frankfurt and Helsinki Roosters look for fresh talent to add to their growing teams.

As part of the camp, all sessions during the try out will be filmed and players will be able to send in their tapes to qualify for the “Hotlist” which will be forwarded to all teams in Europe. Those who make the list will be given assistance in actively promoting their skills to all European teams to help them achieve the next step.

Pre-registration at http://www.eftryouts.com is only $50, while walk-ins will be $60.

Hôtel Gaythering to Host “Queer Biennial I” – an Unabashed Exhibition of Queerness – During Art Basel Weekend

Miami Beach – November 18, 2014 – Definitely not your Grandma’s knit-one-purl-two, performance artist Ben Cuevas will knit himself a jock strap while nude as part of “Queer Biennial I,” an LGBT-focused art exhibition to be held during Art Basel Weekend at the Hôtel Gaythering. In addition to Cuevas knitting in the raw, “Queer Biennial I” will spotlight 35 artists and more than 100 pieces of art throughout the hotel property in what curator Rubén Esparza calls, “a national survey of the current moment in queer/LGBT culture from artists who do not shy away from sexuality, identity, the body or all around queerness.” “Queer Biennial I” is open to the public Thursday, December 4, to Sunday, December 7, from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m. Hôtel Gaythering is located at 1409 Lincoln Road, Miami Beach.

Cuevas’ point to naked knitting? To comment on the absurdity of gendered notions of work. (http://bencuevas.com) Other artists exhibiting during “Queer Biennial I” include Gio Black Peter, a visual and performance artist whose works examine text and subject, truth and fakery, rebellion and authority. Black Peter’s art relies heavily on interaction with the viewer and his or her willingness to suspend rational thoughts and play into the believability of lies and falsehoods. (http://www.gioblackpeter.com)

Inspired equally by his landscape painting father and his singer/songwriter mother, Scooter LaForge (http://scooterlaforge.tumblr.com) honed his painting voice in the San Francisco and New York art scenes. Difficult to categorize or label, LaForge’s paintings are at once pop art with undertones of debauchery, and are definitely NSFW. Rick Castro’s films and photographs explore the world of fetish and the fringes of sexual culture. He describes his nudes as an antidote to his career in fashion as a wardrobe stylist and his films as an exploration of what may considered bizarre now, but will become the standard of the future. (http://www.rickcastro.com)

Neon sculpture artist Lili Lakich (http://www.lakich.com) views her artwork as drawings … lines that glow. Her illuminating works range from playful to sobering and run the gamut from female nudes to monumental sculptures. The shimmering, pulsing, luminous vibrancy of neon gives her sculptures a 21st century edge, despite the medium’s primal appeal. Multimedia artist, filmmaker and writer Slava Mogutin was exiled from his native Russia for his outspoken writings and LGBT activism. Fleeing to the U.S. in 1995, he became the first Russian to be granted political asylum in the U.S. on the grounds of homophobic persecution. Today, his visual art is inspired by that dissident background and encompasses themes of displacement and identity; transgression and disfiguration of masculinity and gender crossover; urban youth subcultures and adolescent sexuality; the clash of social norms and individual desires; and the tension between attachment and disaffection, hate and love.

Curator Esparza, who will be exhibiting some of his ad-themed visual pun artwork, came up with the idea of “Queer Biennial I” as a way to showcase emerging, mid-career and established Out / Queer / LGBT artists from the visual, performance and video art disciplines. In addition to being out and proud, these artists all have one thing in common: they are not afraid to venture into the realms of body, identity and eroticism.

“Every one of these artists is brave,” Esparza said. “They are uncompromising in their willingness to step outside the boundaries of polite society to create art that they are passionate about.”

“As Miami Beach’s only gay hotel, we wanted to bring an exhibition to the property during Art Basel that holds a mirror up to the LGBT community,” said Alex Guerra, co-owner and creative director for the Hôtel Gaythering, who will also be exhibiting during Queer Biennial. “After the exhibition’s debut showing in L.A. this summer, we knew ‘Queer Biennial I’ was a perfect fit and something we wanted the local and visiting LGBT community to experience.”

While queer-themed art is not for everyone, the prices of the art for sale to aficionados will be, Guerra says, as the artwork tops out at $2,000.

Other artists participating in “Queer Biennial I” include: Boston, Connie Fleming, JON VAZ GAR, Angela Gleason, Glen Hanson, Chasen Igleheart, Josef Jasso, Brian Kenny, Bruce LaBruce, Alex La Cruz, Jeremy Lucido, Ian MacKinnon, Dave Naz, Mel Odom, Miguel Angel Reyes, Robert W. Richards, Stuart Sandford, Tawnie Silva, Jacques Smith, AB Soto, SUPERM, Alonso Tapia, Joey Terrill, Maurice Vellekoop, Amy Von Harrington, Daniella Woolf, Rich Yap and Austin Young.

In addition to its run in conjunction with Art Basel, “Queer Biennial I” will be open at Hôtel Gaythering through January 14, 2015. For information, visit www.gaythering.com and click on the “events calendar” tab.

Miami Contemporary Dance Company (MCDC) presents a revamped version of
Ray Sullivan’s Bolero and the WORLD PREMIERE of In Red Time. This double
bill of two entrancing performances will transport the audience to an alternate
reality that reflects our own. Ray Sullivan’s Bolero is set to Ravel’s famous
masterpiece and is revamped by MCDC’s dancers as they take the audience
through a theatrical world not so different from our own, where we are unsure if
we are puppets or leaders, followers or the flock and where, if released from our
ties, can go wild in jubilation or madness. In Red Time is Ray Sullivan’s
newest, never-before-seen creation, that is set in a poetic and surreal vision,
showing the journey of two people through time and life, who they meet and
love, and how they have lived along the way, even as time runs out, as time
turns to “Red Time”.

Celebrating its fourteenth year, Miami Contemporary Dance Company is a non-profit
organization dedicated to bringing international contemporary dance of the
highest level to the stage and is committed to furthering professional dance
education in Miami MCDC’s programs are made possible with the support of our
sponsors: Celestial Society members, John S. and James L. Knight Foundation
as part of its Knight Arts Challenge, Miami Beach Cultural Arts Council, Miami
Beach Commissioners and Mayor, Miami-Dade County Department of Cultural
Affairs, Cultural Affairs Council, Miami-Dade Board of County Commissioners

Greetings from the Con Artist Collective, an artist community with a gallery and shared workspace in New York’s Lower East Side. We’re getting ready for America’s most famous arts and culture bacchanal, Miami Art Basel 2014. We’re joining forces with Brooklyn’s Create Collect to produce “Festina Lente”, our five day festival of art and performance. This marks Con Artist’s second annual foray into the tropics in the name of Art Basel. We’re looking to double the success of last year with a private gallery space in the heart of Wynwood and a line up of cocktail parties, DJs, movie screenings, and a collaborative mural that will grow throughout the event with contributions by artists and guests.

Cost: $15 – $53

Fresh from its Off-Broadway run, Miracle on South Division Street is the story of the Nowak family living amidst the urban rubble of Buffalo, NY’s East Side. Clara the family matriarch happily runs her soup kitchen and tends to the family heirloom, a twenty-foot shrine of the Blessed Mother, which adjoins the house. This beacon commemorated the day in 1942 that the Virgin Mary appeared to her father at his home-based barbershop. During the course of this very funny and original play, the entire family’s faith is shaken to the core as the family legend seems to be unraveling. The evening’s results are heartfelt and hilarious.

Performances are Wednesday – Saturday at 8 p.m., and Sunday at 3 p.m.
A special weekday matinee is scheduled on Wednesday, December 10 at 2 p.m.

Miami Beach, Florida 33139

Cost: $ 100.00 to $40.00

Arts Ballet Theatre of Florida will, once again embark on a journey to the Land of the Sweets, as they perform the traditional annual audience favorite, The Nutcracker based on the tale of Ernest Hoffman with Tchaikovsky’s popular score and choreographed and directed by Vladimir Issaev.
This is the most popular holiday story ever performed in the US. It tells the tale of a young girl, Clara, on Christmas Eve and the adventure she undertakes when her most cherished Christmas present, a nutcracker, comes to life. Together they battle the Mouse King, meet the Queen of Snow and travel to the Land of Sweets, where they encounter the always classic, Sugarplum Fairy.
Issaev’s engaging choreography preserves the Russian tradition and serves as an alternative to those who already have seen Balanchine’s version. Every year the production is enhanced, adding special effects like falling snow and a growing Christmas tree, which enchant children and adults, making each year a new experience for returning audiences.
The enthusiastic young company features a team of professional dancers performing the principal roles, as well as a community cast made up of local character artists and children for the party scene. The engaging choreography- from the fun of the party scene- to the harrowing battle scene- to the enchanting kingdom of the sweets- is guaranteed to entertain any age. Not only is it the most popular ballet enjoyed by all audiences around the world during this time of the year but it also serves as an introduction to ballet for the very young audiences.
The principal roles in The Nutcracker will be commanded by Arts Ballet’s new stars Takayuki Asai, Yukina Yasuhara, Hirofumi Kitazume, Lillian Hill, Ramil Bagmanov, Ben Cook, Saori Morioka, Elise Shea.

Vladimir Issaev’s holiday tradition will be presented in three magnificent venues: the Fillmore Miami Beach at the Jackie Gleason Theater, the Aventura Arts & Cultural Center and The Parker Playhouse of Fort Lauderdale.
You Can Join the Magical Adventure
As every year, the Opening Gala performance takes place at the Fillmore Miami Beach at the Jackie Gleason Theater, which celebrate the company’s seventeen years of making holiday magic. For VIP Patrons, the December 7th Gala will begin at 6:30 pm, with cocktails and hors Hors d’oeuvres, a reception with the international corps of dancers, and chances to bid on silent auction items such as Tiffany’s jewels, Spa Packages, Holiday baskets, Hilton Cabana’s weekend getaway, Disney packages, Sports memorabilia, and many more. For more information on how to participate visit www.artsballettheatre.org, or call (305) 948-4777

Engage in the holiday gift loved ones will always cherish. Don’t miss the opportunity to share the excitement and charm of the great tradition of the holidays with Arts Ballet Theatre of Florida during their extraordinary performances of “The Nutcracker.”

Glory House of Miami, a non-profit organization, will host the “Home Sweet Home” event in an effort to create awareness and and raise the necessary funds to provide a home for 18-25 year old female survivors of sex trafficking.

Popular television and Radio Personality, Rick Sanchez, will serve as Master of Ceremonies at this purpose-driven event and among the evening’s talents are: Monique Abbadie, finalist in NBC’s “The Voice”; Jazmin, International Singer with Sono Rec Productions; Rudy Gil, formerly of Secret Society; Louis Amanti, International Jazz singer; Tony Swing, International American Singer/Actor; and more celebrity surprises soon to be announced!

VIP guests will include: City of Miami Mayor Tomas Regalado; Katherine Fernandez-Rundle – Miami-Dade County State Attorney (to be confirmed); Susan Dechovitz – Director of Human Trafficking Task Force, Miami-Dade State Attorney’s Office (to be confirmed); Dawn Thompson – Assistant Executive Director, Kristi House; Alberto Carvalho – Superintendent of Miami-Dade County Public Schools (to be confirmed); Detective Lorraine Szczepanik – Strategic Investigations Division ICAC/Human Trafficking, Broward County Sheriff’s Office.

Approximately 27 million men, women, and children are enslaved and trafficked worldwide. Florida is one of the top destinations for trafficking victims in the United States, along with New York and California. Distressingly, in Miami alone, $235 million dollars are generated through the exploitation of adults, teens, and children held captive in this city. Children are targeted through deceptive tactics employed by recruiters and the average age of entry is at the tender age of twelve.

“Human Trafficking, the commercial sexual exploitation of another human being, is a despicable crime whose victims inevitably suffer physical and psychological trauma” says State Attorney, Katherine Fernandez-Rundle. And she adds “Those individuals and community groups that reach out to assist victims of Human Trafficking deserve our support and commendation — Glory House is to be applauded for its determination to see that victims have a sanctuary when they break the chains binding them to their trafficker.”

The “Home Sweet Home” event is designed to raise the needed funds to provide a home and safe environment where rescued victims may be healed and fully restored. Glory House of Miami’s “Home Sweet Home” will offer medical, spiritual, mental health, social, legal support; reintegration, education, arts, vocational training, job and life skills training to recover and give these 18-25 year old female survivors a second chance at rebuilding their lives.

“The success of this wonderful event will bring us one step closer to our goal of acquiring a permanent long-term safe home for the sex traffic survivors, where their basic needs will be provided for in addition to professional counseling to get them on the road to healing and restoration” comments Betty Lara, Executive Director of Glory House of Miami. She adds,”community support is an essential component — every ticket purchased will help to make a difference.”

The event agenda will include a 15-minute presentation on Human Trafficking, raffles, high-end auction items and raffles.

Event tickets are $25 per person in advance; $30 per person at the door and they may be purchased through Glory House of Miami at http://www.eventbrite.com/e/a-home-sweet-home-tickets-13705667019 or by calling 786.286.9958.

About Glory House of Miami:

The Glory House of Miami is a Christ-centered a 501(c) (3) charitable non-profit organization devoted to healing and restoring the lives of those who have suffered the abuse and exploitation of sex trafficking.

In August of 2011 our eyes were opened to the sex trafficking industry and the shocking truth that the trade is thriving in our own backyard. Around the world, approximately 27 million men, women, and children are enslaved and trafficked. Florida is commonly cited along with New York and California as being one of the top destinations for trafficking victims in the United States, but in Miami alone, $235M is generated through the exploitation of captive adults and children.
These facts hung heavy in our hearts, and our mission became to provide a safe home and healing environment where rescued victims will regain their freedom and health, and where they can become wholly restored through a faith-based approach.

Glory House of Miami provides long-term service to rescued female victims between the ages of 18-25 years.

Cost: $20

The 2013 smash debut of Mouse King featured two sold-out shows. Lovers of what is sure to become a new holiday classic, conceived by Sesame Street veteran Noel MacNeal and featuring music by South Florida composer Jim Camacho, will now have three chances to take it in. Premiere night at Mandelstam Theater (8530 SW 57th Ave, South Miami, FL 33143) is Friday, December 12, at 7 p.m., followed by a 2 p.m. matinee on Saturday, December 13 and Sunday, December 14. Tickets for Mouse King cost $20 and can be purchased online at http://mousekingtickets.com or by phone by calling 800.838.3006.

Mouse King, a delightfully entertaining family-friendly production, revisits the story of the seasonal favorite The Nutcracker from the mice point of view. The tale chronicles the story of prince Mouserick, the future ruler of the Kingdom of Sweets, and his struggles with Krakatuck, the human who wants to get rid of all vermin and become the king himself. The court magician Astrolog guides the young mouse king along the way and through some highly entertaining encounters and musical adventures.

“We’re excited about bringing Mouse King back this year,” offers MacNeal. “The reaction from the crowd during the performances last year plus the feedback we received after indicated to us that we have something truly special.” Says Camacho: “I’m honored to once again be working with Noel in bringing a new holiday tradition back to life. We’re looking forward to this year’s run.”

The cast also includes Jim Henson Company alum James Wojtal, Jr., puppeteer and stage veteran Arlee Chadwick, along with child actors, professional actors and puppets. The 2013 original cast recording featuring 13 original songs by Camacho is available online at www.MouseKingMusic.com. For more information, visit www.JimCamacho.com.

Happiness is a buzzword that’s everywhere these days. But what does it really mean? Is it just about smiley faces and “positive thinking”? Can you really, truly get happier and stay happier? Hannah Sentenac will answer your burning questions in her heart-to-heart talk about the science of happiness, beating depression and living a joyful life at the Bookstore in the Grove, Nov 25th.

Despite our society’s increasing material wealth, more people than ever are bogged down by depression, anxiety and a feeling of alienation. For millions of folks, happiness can feel like an unrealistic, impossible dream. But Hannah’s message is that there’s always hope for a happier life, and we all have the power to change.

As a Happiness Advocate, Hannah speaks about happiness, embarks on happiness-focused projects and writes about happiness for publications including the Huffington Post, MindBodyGreen, Live Happy magazine and her blog, HannahGetsHappy.com.

Expect a wildly entertaining talk with plenty of audience participation; interactive, science-based exercises to get you started on your happiness journey; a happiness reading list and loads of amusing anecdotes. Hannah will also introduce her exciting new interactive art installation, The Happy Wall, going up in Cocowalk on November 29th!

Admission is free! Attendees can snag a glass of wine and an empanada from the bookstore’s yummy cafe, pick a seat and jump headfirst into a happiness movement. The event kicks off at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, November 25.

Cost: Free

City Theatre will serve up a sizzling series of Florida-inspired short plays entitled Swamp Shorts on Monday, November 17 from 6 – 7:30 p.m. at Miami Book Fair International’s newest attraction The Swamp.

The Swamp is a pop-up lounge (think Jimbo’s meets the Delano) that showcases Florida stories, music, dance, film, history, and art. All week long, Swamp events exploring the beauty, contradictions, uniqueness, and downright “weirdness” of life in Florida will be offered free of charge.

As a partner of Miami Book Fair International and the Center for Theatre and Literature at Miami Dade College, City Theatre was asked to solicit and curate a selection of shorts plays that align with The Swamp’s mission to reflect the personalities that animate Florida’s, and specifically Miami’s, cultural scene. A call for scripts was sent to homegrown playwrights, resulting in City Theatre’s Swamp Shorts, a vibrant one-night-only collection of readings of new short plays written by South Florida playwrights near and far, that celebrate the stories, characters, patois and sabor of the local community and Sunshine State.

Directed by City Theatre Guest Artist Gail Garrison, Swamp Shorts will be performed by The Swamp Troupe Acting Ensemble: Joshua Jean Baptiste, Ashley Chang, Chasity Hart, Andres Maldonado, David Kwiat, Jessica Brooke Sandford, Karen Stephens and Michael Uribe.

The Swamp Shorts play line-up includes:

Risen from the Dough by France-Luce Benson
Two Haitian sisters own a local bakery and learn that running a business in Miami is more than they expected.

Hey Girl by Jessica Farr
An encounter between a woman and a man waiting for a bus goes bad. Very bad.

Sand and Sam by Lauren Feldman
A woman mourning the death of a grandparent gets an assist from an understanding rabbi and a helpful gravedigger.

The Crocodile’s Bite by Vanessa Garcia
Four characters, all immigrants to the city, connect and collide one night in Miami.

A Pair of Miami Monologues by Gail Garrisan
A South Florida perspective on how to get from here to there, and how to look the part.

Roof by Ricky J. Martinez
A scene from a new full-length play set on a rooftop overlooking Biscayne Blvd.

Swamp Girl by Marj O’Neill-Butler
A South Florida single who’s more comfortable clubbing, considers an invitation for a blind date to the Everglades.

Two of the region’s literary disrupters combine to present this free event from 6 – 7:30 p.m. on Monday, November 17 at The Swamp, located in the big tent at the Miami Dade College Wolfson Campus on the southeast corner of NE Third Street and Second Avenue. Craft beers, food trucks and fun take place on The Swamp Porch prior to and following Swamp Shorts. Free parking is available in the adjacent garage.

What is the most direct link between the art week in Basel and Miami? The answer came curiosly by an Italian painter – Guido Buganza – that this year brings in Miami a collection of paintings inspired by his last trip in the Swiss city during Art Basel. But the artistic challenge is still open, because the exhibition – project aims to bring in Basel 2015 a series of paintings that will be created by the vibrations of the trip to Miami during these December.

The project, at its first edition this year, is a bet on the future that aims to create a potentially infinite exhibition in the cities symbol of art in the world.

The exhibition is at The Hangar Gallery, Wynwood, Miami, from 3 to 31 December 2014.

O. Ascanio Gallery is opening a major exhibition of work by celebrated illustrator, sculptor and public artist Jorge Blanco. Over three decades, Blanco has built a following of devotees and collectors. First with his beloved comic strip “El Naufrago,” (The Castaway), and later through his large-scale geometrical sculptures, 26 of which have been commissioned publicly in the United States, Latin America and Asia.

Jorge Blanco’s signature creations offer universal appeal; they are testaments to the glory of passion and optimism of everyday life. He translates poetic humor as an illustrator into vivacious sculptures that engage viewers with an evocative and distinct choreography. Bright primary colors and geometric shapes form athletes, fruit, animals and abstractions.

This retrospective is bringing together diverse works across mediums showcasing Blanco’s most recognizable projects. Included are a series of watercolors inspired by “The Castaway,” his graphic and illustrative work in children’s storybooks, big and small collectible sculptures, and pieces from his decorative design line, such as coffee tables, benches, design mugs and more.

Jorge Blanco lives and works in Sarasota, Florida. In addition to his public art commissions, he has created numerous works for private collectors in Brazil, Canada, Switzerland, France, Venezuela, Uruguay, Argentina, Germany, Belgium, China, Indonesia, Japan, the Dominican Republic and the USA. He’s the recipient of multiple accolades, most recent is the DCOTA Stars of Design 2013.
