More than 2.9 million American soldiers have been deployed to the Middle East and Southwest Asia since 2001. Most have returned home. Others have not. Standing quietly behind almost every soldier is a mother with a story that deserves to be told.

War Mamas, is a a powerful video installation by Patricia Figueroa Sowers about a special group of mothers. They are the mothers of soldiers who serve – or have served – in our military in a time of war. The majority of these soldiers have been deployed to the Middle East and Southwest Asia. Most have returned home. Some have not. This project attempts to provide the mothers of these soldiers a public platform on which to tell their own stories, each narrative as unique as it is universal.

The project launch of “Warm Mammas” will take place on Saturday, September 21st as part of the exhibit opening “Made in the U.S.A. 2013” presented by MANO Fine Art Project Space.

Made in the U.S.A. will be open to the public on Saturday, September 21st and will be open to the public every Saturday from 2-6 pm through October 13th. A Conversation with the Patricia Figueroa Sowers is being planned for October. For more info about the exhibit please contact: 305.467.6819.

Riff Rockit, one of the most popular performers in the growing musical genre “kindie rock” is coming to South Florida for a special concert to benefit the Love Jen Cancer Fund of Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital Foundation. The high energy performance will take place at Revolution LIVE in Fort Lauderdale on Sunday, September 29 at 3 p.m.

Evan Michael, a.k.a. Riff Rockit, headlines the band which entertains kids and their parents with inspiring songs and positive messages. Born and raised in Fort Lauderdale to musical parents, the singer-songwriter’s love of music began at an early age. Evan was clapping to the beat on his first birthday and by age 10 was jamming on a six-string guitar. At age 15 he was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia and underwent intensive chemo treatments at Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital. His cancer went into remission. Two years later he relapsed and required a life-saving bone marrow transplant. Music was Evan’s way of coping during this dark and difficult time.

Thanks to the care and treatment Evan received at Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital, he’s been cancer free since 2001. After this life altering experience, he made a conscious decision to follow his dream. He studied at Boston’s prestigious Berklee College of Music and graduated in 2007. He now lives his passion and tours the country entertaining, inspiring, educating and uplifting children under the alter ego of Riff Rockit.

This fall, foodies and culinary thrill seekers will have even more reason to dine at Tongue & Cheek – chef Jamie DeRosa’s whimsical South of Fifth, SoBe eatery – as chef DeRosa is bringing in some friends to make matters extra tasty starting in September. Launching Wednesday, September 25 with Top Chef alum Chef Lindsay Autry, ”KITCHEN COLLAB” is a trio of monthly special guest chef dinners which are sure to set tongues wagging and mouths watering.

In terms of themes and cooking styles, each kitchen collaboration (hence the series’ name) will differ but the end result will be the same – an unforgettable culinary experience featuring a not-to-be-repeated multi-course dinner created by DeRosa and truly talented guest chefs. Each dinner will be priced at $75 per person, excluding tax/tip/alcohol; featuring five amazing courses and some special surprises along the way. Seating is limited and tickets must be purchased in advance via http://tandcmiami.brownpapertickets.com/. Start time: 7:00 p.m.

Additional editions of “KITCHEN COLLAB” will follow on Thursday, October 17 with Chef Clay Conley of Palm Beach’s Buccan and Imoto fame and Chef Paula DaSilva on Wednesday, November 20, who recently took the helm of 3030 Ocean at the Harbor Beach Marriott Resort & Spa in Fort Lauderdale.

Chef Lindsay Autry was born and raised in Fayetteville, North Carolina where she inherited a love of cooking at an early age, entering 4H cooking competitions. Spending time on her grandfather’s peach farm and alongside her Greek grandmother in the kitchen are among her childhood influences. Chef Lindsay describes her cuisine as “Southern soul meets world,” a combination of nostalgic favorites and Mediterranean flavors. With “farm-to-table” as a way of life growing up, Lindsay still takes her cues from seasonal, locally harvested ingredients when creating her classic yet refined dishes. A graduate of Johnson & Wales University in Miami, Lindsay honed her classic French cooking techniques under the James Beard Award-winning chef Michelle Bernstein, starting as a line cook at Azul at the Mandarin Oriental in Miami. Lindsay served as Executive Chef at the Omphoy Ocean Resort & Michelle Bernstein Restaurant in Palm Beach, Sous Chef at Fiesta Americana Grand Aqua in Cancun and she received international acclaim as the Chef de Cuisine at Las Brisas at the Fairmont in Playa del Carmen. She was named a Restaurant Hospitality “Rising Star” in 2008 and was one of three finalists on the 2011-12 season of Top Chef Texas. She is currently the Executive Chef at Sundy House Historic Inn, Restaurant and Botanical Garden as well as the Resident Chef for Swank Table in Loxahatchee Groves.

Miguel Rodez Art Projects is pleased to present the second iteration of it’s focus on the drawing medium. The gallery’s initial show Drawn from Within was a huge success when it was unveiled in September 2012. The 2013 version contrasts techniques and styles that offer huge conceptual diversity within the gallery’s space. Curating such a show is no easy task; you will be the judge who will mercilessly deliver the verdict with a thumbs up or down. There is no in-between here.

As the previous show, Drawing Exploration II explores the versatility of the drawing medium and features works in graphite, ink and charcoal. Some of the pieces offered are huge works while others are huge only in their impact.

Elegant fluid lines guide the viewers through vortexes of the dynamic work of one artist. These are contrasted against somber thought-provoking pieces with a more spiritual spin. A refined organic morphism piece is bound to draw attention to itself. Other pieces take on the challenge of portraiture. Henry Flagler, for example, gets a contemporary makeover by one artist who treated one of Florida’s most famous pioneers to a gentle doze of deconstruction, while another work treats the viewer to the impeccable refinement of classic academic technique.

Drawing Exploration II takes place at Miguel Rodez Art Projects space during the award-winning Bird Road Art Walk, which is held the 3rd Saturday of each month, just east of Tropical Park. Open to the public every third Saturday of the month in this Historic Art District.

“Fiber Optics” is a comprehensive group exhibition of 40 emerging artists that exemplify fresh, innovative approaches to “fiber art.” These artists have reinvented traditional craft processes such as embroidery, crochet, knitting, weaving, sewing, and quilting. Rather than follow prescribed methods, they merge traditional craft with sculpture, installation, and video art; and utilize unexpected materials that transcend their banal origins with integral symbolism. Though the approaches are unconventional, technique, precision, and aesthetic appeal are still at the core of their processes.

Dear MFYH Foundation friends,

As you’ve been showing your support at our last anniversary, I reach out to you again to confirm if you would like to support us again this year. As you will see, this year our event has been designed differently, much smaller but more exclusive and upscale paying attention to detail for a higher impact. This year only 75 guests will be able to attend but all of them committed to support our cause.

As you know, after 12 years in business, my passion for music brought me to Miami 4 years ago and ultimately I discovered that I had a bigger mission than my own dream so October 5th,2010 I founded Music For Your Heart Foundation, a 501c3 non-profit organization to provide instruments and music education to the kids around the world.

Next Sunday, October 6th 2013, we will be celebrating our 3rd Anniversary at the charming boutique hotel “The Cadet” for a maximum of 75 exclusive guests that would have purchased their ticket online ($90) or at the door ($125). Any contribution will be 100% Tax deductible.

The event will start at 7pm at a beautiful and elegant outside patio where we will be greeting our guests with Stacole Fine Wines and Hipnotiq Liquor and champagne accompanied by delicatessen hors-d’oeuvres offered by the number 1 Zagat Gourmet rated fine restaurant “Pied-à-Terre”.

After a brief message, we will ask our guests to step inside for our talent performances that will then lead us to a nicely conducted live auction of the products and services that have been kindly donated to raise funds for the cause.

We are looking for individuals/companies willing to help us make this happen. If you know anybody interested in our sponsorship options or donations for our live auction, please contact us now. We can proudly say that not only private companies like Coca-Cola, Saks 5th Ave, Marlins, etc…are supporting our mission but also our local government.
We sincerely appreciate your support!

A single mother gives her son a beloved doll for his birthday, later they find out that the doll is possessed with the soul of a serial killer, who try to put his soul into the boy’s body in order to become human.

The 1980′s was the ultimate slasher decade, bringing us more Jason, Michael, and Freddy film’s than any other decade. Plus countless other killer-in-a-mask films. On November 9, 1988 the world was introduced to Chucky, the Good Guy-doll-gone-bad and a new horror icon was formed, thanks to creator Don Mancini. Child’s Play Spawned two horror sequels before moving into a more comedic tone with “Bride of Chucky” and “Seed of Chucky”.

PopcornNights.com is proud to bring Chucky back to the big screen for a 25th anniversary of the original “Child’s Play”. This event is sponsored by HalloweenMegastore.com (Visit them at Sunset Place in South Miami)

The upcoming “Curse of Chucky” brings things back around to the horror side of things. To celebrate the release of a new Chucky film and the 25th anniversary of the original, we are excited about sharing this retro screening with all of you.

End your summer right with Floatopia! Come join us Sat Sept. 14!

For newbies, Floatopia is an epic party on innertubes that takes over South Pointe Park a couple times a year. And if you missed the last two of these buoyant bashes, now’s your chance to join the fun.

The original version of this floating soiree started in California back in 2004, and since 2012, Miami’s had its very own! Back in April, a bunch of Miamians people showed up to float up. Saturday Sept. 14th, we are doing it again!

No bouncers, no guest lists, no cover charge, no promoters, just good ol’ fashioned floating fun! Bring your float, raft, inner-tube, rubber tire or anything that floats and join us at South Pointe Park for an awesome day!

Notes:
Please PICK UP AFTER YOURSELF, let’s be kind to this beautiful beach!

Your “beverages” must be in discreet containers such as plastic bottles. Remember, NO glass bottles are allowed on the beach.

Get crazy…within legal limits. No drama, please. We are all one big, friendly, floating party family! :)

Peace, Love & Float on!

Less than a year after breaking into the Miami and South Florida marketplace, Duvel’s lighter, draft-only golden ale – Duvel Single, will be the feature beer at this month’s Wynwood Art Walk Beer Garden! Enjoy ‘Beat The Clock’ Specials: $2 from 6 to 7pm; $3 from 7 to 8pm; and $5 8 to 9pm! The event is part of a new art walk series featuring complimentary Duvel Single and Sparky’s Roadside Barbeque at Gramps Bar. Please RSVP: rsvp@workshopcollective.com.

Duvel Single is the lighter golden ale from Duvel. The secret behind the crisp and complex flavors of Duvel Single is Duvel’s commitment to using only the best quality ingredients, and in the complicated and specific brewing and refermentation process that takes more than three months to complete. Once brewed, the brew master and his staff taste each batch after approximately 30 days. At this stage the beer is called “single-fermented.” The beer has Duvel taste but the alcohol and carbonation are lower and the taste is lighter and crisper.

The vibrant and diverse cultures of Latin America and the Caribbean take center stage at the World Trade Center Miami’s 17th Americas Food and Beverage Show Oct. 28 and 29 with more than 500 top food producers from 23 countries, each showcasing their top products, recipes and delicacies.

The 17th Americas Food and Beverage Show at the Miami Beach Convention Center is the largest specialty food trade event in the Western Hemisphere and is expected to generate more than $200 million in actual and projected sales. The show generated $190 million in sales in 2012 and attracted 9,500 buyers to the two-day show.

“By all accounts, this will be the most successful event in show history. We expect more than 10,000 people to visit the show and pursue trade opportunities with local companies and businesses throughout the Americas,” said Charlotte Gallogly, president of the World Trade Center Miami.
The 17th Americas Food and Beverage Show will feature more than 500 booths filled with specialty products from every corner of the globe, including country pavilions representing Algeria; Argentina; Bolivia; Brazil; Brazil/Goias; Canada/Atlantic Canada; Colombia; Ecuador; Peru; South Korea; Thailand; Turkey; and the United States.
NASDA will host the USA Pavilion (www.nasdatradeshows.org) with 90 small businesses. DeWitt Ashby, NASDA’s tradeshow director, and his team spend the months leading up to the show recruiting companies and pre-arranging meetings with buyers, suppliers and potential customers.

“A lot of companies have some really cool products but they lack the critical mass to take those products to bigger markets like Mexico and Canada,” DeWitt said. “The Caribbean and Latin America are the perfect fit for their export business.”

The Illinois Department of Agriculture recruits an average of 13 exhibitors a year to attend the Americas Food and Beverage Show. The results have been profitable for those that make the trip to South Beach.
Last year, 12 Illinois-based companies attended the show and generated $1.9 million in sales, with an additional $2 million in sales still pending.

“Our return on investment is 207 to 1,” said Kim Hamilton, an international marketing representative for the Illinois Department of Agriculture.

Hamilton says the Americas Food and Beverage Show remains the best venue for companies eager to strike up export deals in the Western Hemisphere.

“This is the largest food and beverage show that targets the western hemisphere. And since most of the exports are going though Miami because it’s a leading distribution center, it makes sense, for them to participate in the show,” she said.

The show also features the 8th Annual Chefs Competition featuring international teams competing for cash prizes and the title of “Best Chef of the Americas”. Visitors will also be able to take advantage of two days of business seminars geared to restaurants and food retailers.

The 17th Americas Food and Beverage is a trade-only event that is closed to the general public. Attendee registration is open throughout the show at www.americasfoodandbeverage.com.

The Panama Canal was opened in January of 1914. By December of 2010, the Panama Canal has had over 1,000,972 ship transits through it, delivering over 8,587,711,605 tons of goods worldwide.

Upon completion of the new third lock system, scheduled to be in operation by early 2015 much larger ships (12,600 TEU = 1,400 ft. length by 160 ft. width) will be able to pass through on their way to our PortMiami. These larger ships allow for the delivery of containers at greatly reduced rates due to the sheer scale of delivery capacity the new vessels have to divide the cost of transportation over.

[Description]

On Sunday September 8th, we will feature our first Graffiti artist for the program. Erni Vales, one of our most avid supporters of the program will be celebrating his birthday and presenting some of his favorite pieces….over 90 pieces will be part of his digital media exhibition.

EVLworld

EVLworld is the brainchild o f visual artist Erni Vales or, Erni Vales Lt d. (EVL). It is the culmination of cons i s ten t mural, design and artwork for over 3 decades. In that time Vales traveled internationally,created sets for celebrities, designed restaurants and nightclubs and is still regarded as one of the world ‘s leading innovators and pioneer s of the graffiti and street art movement.

EVLworld studio in Miami is the current headquarters and the home for his most recent feat , “An Unusual Journey” where he created 13 paintings a month for 13 months, 169 in total, paintings that combine graffiti to pop to poster style i n a colorful blast of color and thought provoking themes and ideas.

Photo s are available on request but EVLworld i s 1 step beyond that. Images of the paintings are available to anyone printed on a wide assortment of merchandise and clothing! Puzzles, coffee mugs , coasters, iphone cases, journals all adorned with Vales’ powerful imagery from his paintings begin the moderately priced merchandise and limited edition prints on aluminum for the more serious art collectors are all made available at EVLworld as we ll as www.evlworld.com

” I wanted to base EVLworld to be like my fellow artist and close friend Keith Haring ‘s Pop Shop. Keith was instrumental in inspiring me and proving that art collectors come in many sizes and shapes as well as different financial brackets.”

In a time where budget cutbacks across the nation continue to erode creativity from our culture and schools, Vales and EVLworld want to bring art, color and creativity back and inspire others to see their own artistic potentials.

MUSIC BY:
Benji Candelario
Benji Candelario has sustained his presences as one of the foremost DJ/Producer’s ever to grace the scene. Spanning all genres of club music, his signature sound captures the essence of the culturally vibrant New York club scene, distinguishing him as a quintessential DJ, and visionary producer/musician. Developing an impeccable reputation internationally with some of biggest names in the industry, his productions have had more aliases than Smith and Jones, … Station Q, Bass Hit, The Element, Swing 52, New Hippie Movement, and Central Park. But whatever the name, Candelario’s fans can always tell who’s behind that trademark beat chugging, bass line driven, anthem praising, dance floor dominating sound that has been acclaimed timeless by many of his peers.

His latest venture Transitori Music, an extension of his production company 2nd color Entertainment, is Candelario’s own digital imprint. His mission is to release forward-thinking music from a diverse roster of up and coming artist. Rather than concentrating on a specific style, Candelario aims to have a platform where he can truly express creative freedom through a varied selection of music. So far it has proven true, having licensed several of his past releases to the likes of Ministry of Sound and several other European and Japanese labels.

Though his many productions have been praised around the world, Benji is always quick to point out his roots. He is a DJ foremost that produces records and not a producer that now DJs. He is in his element playing the hottest clubs (from the dark, underground spots to the big rooms) in Ibiza, Greece, UK, France, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Canada and the U.S.

Without compromising his expansive knowledge and exquisite taste, his style remains fun and accessible. When Benji plays he takes care to bring his listeners with him on his musical journey and makes sure they stay with him the whole party through. It has always been important to him that people understand and enjoy his unique musical point of view, making him a favorite with promoters and club goers alike.

Soulscience
Mikkel Dankner aka Soulscience is a DJ and producer who showcases functional, dynamic, and energetic music programming. With over twenty years experience, he has been holding residencies at impressive locations throughout New York and Miami catering to the aurally adventurous and hose of sophisticated musical taste.

Aside from DJing, Mikkel is also a music producer. His first release was in 2001 on Yoruba Records with a remix of Erro’s ‘Change For Me.’ The record’s great success came from its unique fusion of broken beat and soul-drenched deep house, earning it future classic status. From that point on, he had been involved in numerous projects such as Open Aire, which was featured earlier this year on the popular BBC television drama, ‘The Syndicate.’ Additionally, Mikkel has set forth plans to launch his label BTWN SPKRS to serve as an outlet for music producers alike. This is a dedicated artist that continues to deliver music for the modern soul.

Cost: $10 general admission; $9 student or senior; $8 PAMM members and MBC members.

Pérez Art Museum Miami and Miami Beach Cinematheque present “Tea” by Mario Garcia Torres with an introduction by the artist.

“Tea” is a film essay documenting artist Mario Garcia Torres’s journey to One Hotel in Kabul, Afghanistan, a hotel opened in 1971 by Italian conceptual artist Alighiero Boetti (b. 1940–d. 1994). The hotel closed due to the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in 1979. Garcia Torres considers his relationship to Boetti’s work and life through a subjective blurring of time and geography.

This screening is part of a series of public programs that contextualizes the work of artists who have been commissioned to create new projects that will debut with the opening of Pérez Art Museum Miami in December 2013. This program marks Mario Garcia Torres’ first visit to Miami while working on a new project for PAMM.

Tickets available at box office the evening of the event. (Seating is limited. First come, first seated.) PAMM members may reserve seats in advance (while supplies last.) Email join@pamm.org to join today.

Come out , drink, have fun and support Tree of Life — Donate whatever you want at the door and get a free “Blackbird” cocktail. 2 for 1 drinks through happy hour. Music to follow. Come out, have fun, have some drinks and do good!

Help our foundations (Krane, Inc and New Light Foundation), go forward with their theatre/arts program -Tree of Life. Join us on Thursday, August 29, 2013 at Blackbird Ordinary – 729 SW 1st Avenue, Miami, Florida 33130 from 6:30 p.m. until 8:30 p.m.

The mission of Tree of Life is to teach underprivileged and homeless teens and pre-teens (ages 10-17), how to take an idea for a play from its seedling phase to the stage. Using the power of story, autobiography, and the art of collaboration, students will learn what it means to workshop a play. Some will take on the role of set designer, others of costume; some will be actors, others directors. Some will even help with the production and the public relations aspect of production. All the while, students will be working with professionals in the field — working actors, writers, directors, producers. Often, these workshops take place as summer seminars and/or year-long conservatories that can be out of reach for low earning or poverty level families. We believe that everyone should have access to art and everyone should have the right to make art, if the passion lies within. Even if that passion has been, thus far, unrecognized. It is our goal to make that desire to create bloom; to illustrate, through hard work, the power of art — whether that art be visual, performative, or musical . Because art does, indeed have power — the power to change people and change the world through empathy, thought, and catharsis.
