The Artisan Lounge, a burgeoning artistic community with over 8,000 square feet of studio and gallery space, has assembled a panel of visionaries to explore the age-old relationship between spirituality and art, its present-day iterations, and multifaceted impact on Miami’s thriving art and culture scene. The panel discussion, entitled “The Spirit of Art in Miami,” will take place at The Artisan Lounge during the Downtown Miami First Friday Art Walk on April 4th at 7 p.m. It will be preceded by a reception starting at 6:30 p.m. The event is free and open to the public.

Moderated by The Artisan Lounge Co-Director Giselle Delgado, an industry expert, panelists include:

o Vesna Vera, artist and resident at The Artisan Lounge

o Adriana Carvalho, artist and resident at The Artisan Lounge

o Danilo Gonzalez, artist and gallery owner of Wynwood Warehouse Project

o Abena Robinson, president elect of Dade Art Educators Association

o Jesus Manuel Rojas, art blogger and spirituality guru

Also, Artist Vesna Vera and Sculptor Adriana Carvalho will have their works featured in a joint and topically relevant exhibition. Vera will present “Meditations,” a colorful and ethereal series featuring a dozen timeless and classically inspired paintings; while Carvalho’s iconic metal dress sculptures are the center point of an interactive workshop that invites viewers to participate in her installation entitled “Faith.”

“Art has elevated Miami and its collective conscience. There’s a heightened interest in creativity, innovation and community, which can be likened to a spiritual awakening,” said Vera, who played an integral role in the development of this upcoming panel discussion. The Artisan Lounge Co-Director Giselle Delgado added, “through content-rich events like these, we hope to further establish our presence as a dynamic, progressive and innovative organization.”

The Artisan Lounge is located at 500 NE 1st Avenue in the Christ Fellowship building. Free parking is available onsite and it is conveniently located across the street from the College North Metromover station.

On Wednesday, April 2, author Jonathan M. Katz will be in Miami to launch the new paperback edition of ‘The Big Truck That Went By: How the World Came to Save Haiti and Left Behind a Disaster’ with a reading at Books & Books in Coral Gables.

Published to glowing reviews and winner of multiple awards, ‘The Big Truck That Went By’ is a crucial, timely look at a signal failure of international aid. Katz was the only full-time American news correspondent in Haiti on January 12, 2010, when the deadliest earthquake in the history of the Western Hemisphere struck the island nation. More than half of American adults gave money for Haiti, part of a global response totaling $16.3 billion in pledges. But four years later the effort has foundered. Its most important promises-to rebuild safer cities, alleviate severe poverty, and strengthen Haiti to face future disasters-remain unfulfilled. How did so much generosity amount to so little? What went wrong? In what a Miami Herald Op-Ed called “the most important written work to emerge from the rubble,” Katz follows the money to uncover startling truths about how good intentions go wrong, and what can be done to make aid “smarter.” Reporting alongside Bill Clinton, Wyclef Jean, Sean Penn, and Haiti’s leaders and people, ‘The Big Truck That Went By’ is a complex, darkly funny, and unexpected portrait of one of the world’s most fascinating countries.

Now on display, FACADE

Facade: Historic Downtown Miami in Line Drawings, by author Damir Sinovcic, is a portrait of the architecture and development of Miami’s city center and its vicinity during the early twentieth century. Though many buildings erected during that period have been demolished or significantly altered over time, some of the most prominent structures still remain. Based on the book, the Miami Center for Architecture and Design, along with the Downtown Development Authority and author Damir Sinovcic, have created an exhibition that depicts many of Miami’s historical buildings. Free viewing Monday thru Friday, 10am – 5pm.

“Facade: Historic Downtown Miami in Line Drawings features downtown Miami buildings erected around the time of the Miami Land Boom. The book’s geographical focus encompasses the city center and neighborhoods north and east of the Miami River, as well as certain buildings north of the central business district, including Overtown and the neighborhoods near Biscayne Boulevard….

Over time, and often in the name of progress, many of Miami’s early twentieth century buildings have been demolished. Although this book could easily have been dedicated to all the great buildings that no longer exist, it celebrates those important structures that have endured.” – Damir Sinovcic, Author

“The Unfinished Black Civil Rights Agenda -Gaining the full rights of US Citizenship for ALL Black Americans (Where Do We Go From Here and Post-Obama?)”.

In her 2013 article, “Trayvon Martin, Race, and Anthropology,” Dr. Leith Mullings (President, American Anthropological Association) spoke out, stepped up to, and challenged, conventional wisdom regarding “diversity.” “Diversity,” wrote Mullings, “has become a threadbare term used… to refer to almost any type of variation…[while] admirable…[diversity, expanded, fails] to address the historical injustices of racial exclusion…[and] obscures the systemic character of racism in the United States. All forms of discrimination are lamentable, but they are not equal, nor even necessarily comparable, [they]…require different interventions.” By 2015, our nation will have commemorated several of those key, momentous, interventions targeting extant anti-Black/pro-White racist world-views, laws, systems, beliefs, attitudes, customs, and practices. To date, Civil Rights laws throughout south Florida, and across our nation, have failed (i) to end White privilege, (ii) to abolish, what the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. called, the “Disease of Racism,” and (iii) to close the resulting disparities lived by diverse Black men, women, and children through Euro-centric Educational, Medical, Military and Prison Industrial Complexes. Even with President Barak Obama in the White House! Accordingly, for Dr. Mary Francis Berry (Longtime Former Chairwoman, the United States Commission on Civil Rights), and despite the frenzy over diversity, “The crux of the problem today is there is no [Black] civil rights movement…[because] President Obama is the prize in the minds of most people…at the end of the struggle… [He] was our payoff…” She added, “There will be a [re-vitalized] civil rights movement when Obama is no longer president….and…the problems that Black people have are still here…”

Cost: $10

The popular North Beach Bandshell concert series hosted by the non-profit Community Arts and Culture organization plans its next outing Saturday, April 12, 2014, beginning at 6 p.m., and this time featuring the emerging Cuban singer / songwriter Danay Suárez. Local “afro-galactic / psychedelic” jam sextet the Nag Champayons will perform in support, as well as the Miami chapter of the School of Rock plus guest DJ Ephniko Dialecto.

Suárez, originally from La Habana, Cuba, has been generating a buzz throughout Latin America and Europe with her soulful voice, razor-sharp lyrics and innovative musical style. Performing since the age of 15, Danay formed part of the Havana Cultura series, collaborating with various artists throughout the years. She has performed in European cities such as London, Paris, Amsterdam, Berlin and Istanbul, and in Latin America, Mexico, Panama and Colombia. In addition, the singer / songwriter released her first album Polvo de la Humedad in 2008, which was followed by her Havana Cultura EP in 2010.

The Nag Champayons are a largely improvisational collection of musicians drawing inspiration from African, Caribbean, hip-hop, rock and jazz influences. The band released a self-titled EP in 2012 that features the single “183rd Street Flea Market” with guest vocalist Itagui from Locos Por Juana. The Nags hold a floating residence at the visually ethereal Hollywood, FL venue Mystic Water Kava Bar called Psychedelic Jazz Practice. The group is currently working on their next release which will feature the beat box and rap stylings of Komakozie and the Afro-Cuban inspired vocals of Tomas Diaz from the Spam Allstars.

Ephniko Dialecto is a bilingual songwriter, DJ and emcee originally from Columbia and now residing in Miami. His style has been compared to Mos Def, the Orishas and Damian Marley. A self-described “hip-hop educator/researcher”, he does workshops with youth programs at area festivals, juvenile detention centers and schools.

The School of Rock Miami is a youth program that teaches music and team-building in a band setting; they will be sending their house band to open the event.

The North Beach Bandshell is located at 7275 Collins Avenue, Miami Beach, 33141. A Day at the Beach Concert Seriesis sponsored in part by the State of Florida, Department of State, Division of Cultural Affairs and the Florida Council on Arts and Culture, Miami Beach Cultural Arts Council, the Miami-Dade County Department of Cultural Affairs, Bootstrap Tactics, Original Impressions, the Miami HEAT and Florida National University.

They released their self-titled debut that same year.

Lebos is a versatile guitarist born and raised in Miami. He received his Bachelors degree from the University of Miami and a Masters from Florida International University – both in jazz performance. He developed much of his versatility playing gigs and recording in the diverse South Florida music scene and touring nationally. Lebos regularly performs with some of the biggest names in area including Nicole Henry, Tony Succar, the Spam Allstars and others.

Another standout track is called “Flux Capacitor,” a dance / indie rock / jazz hybrid. The collection will be available on CD and as a download on iTunes. ALR features Lebos on guitar, Eric England on bass, Jim Gasior on keyboards and Rodolfo Zuniga on drums. Learn more at www.AaronLebos.com.

In honor of this year’s guest speaker Tanya Villanueva Tepper and guest artist Amy Estrela, proceeds of the event will benefit two local organizations that provide arts programs benefitting children with autism. Tepper, who is raising two autistic daughters, is a writer, national speaker, and founding member of the organization, Fiancés and Domestic Partners of 9/11. She appeared in the Peabody Award-winning documentary Project Rebirth and is living proof that tragedy can be transformed into triumph. Amy Estrela of Amy & Jacob Paint has witnessed firsthand how art can positively impact the life of an autistic child, as it has done for her son Jacob. VBMWB is also the official closing event of the Spoken Soul Festival, which supports local women artists.
RSVP and advance ticket purchase is required at Spoken Soul Festival website.

Soiree to Celebrate Local Award-Winning Film’s Release and International Success

“HazMat”, the Miami-made film that garnered international notoriety in the film festival circuit, celebrates its official release, Tuesday, April 1 from 8 pm – 10 pm at Tarpon Bend Coral Gables, located at 65 Miracle Mile. Winner of “Best Horror Film” at the Berlin Independent Film Festival and Massachusetts Independent Film Festival, “HazMat”, is now available to the public, and its team is ready to indulge in a few libations and delve into a Q & A with horror fans and local film supporters.

April Fool’s Day seems befitting to fête “HazMat”, whose plot revolves around a practical joke gone terribly wrong. For the special event, Tarpon Bend will offer two-for-one-drinks and have their full menu available for those wishing a nosh. “This is a great opportunity for the community to come together and celebrate a film that has represented Miami around the globe. As a filmmaker, one of my main goals has been to exemplify the diversity that this town has shown me”, says writer, producer and director, Lou Simon of White Lotus Productions. The lovely mix of local actors has recently amassed national recognition with lead actors, Norbert Velez and Aniela McGuiness, receiving “Best Actor” and “Best Actress” nominations at Chicago’s Indie Horror Film Festival.

Deemed a “triple threat”, Ms. Simon will also formally announce casting choices for her next feature film, “Agoraphobia”, a supernatural/psychological thriller that will have audiences at the edge of their seat. The Cuban-American filmmaker scouted several locations for “Agoraphobia”, including L.A. and Key West, but ultimately selected the Magic City once again. Currently in pre-production, the film is slated to begin shooting in Miami, June 2014.

“HazMat” is now available for digital download or rent on: Xfinity Comcast, scroll to “HORROR” and select “HazMat SD”; iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/movie/hazmat/id813357180;

Get ready to dance your pants off!!! the Hongs live at Will Call – Friday, March 28th.

Formed in 2008 by Jamaican-born musician Gordon Myers this multinational rock electronic group has become one of the most popular bands of the Miami music scene.

Quite accidentally, The Hongs band members are a multinational fusion: Jamaican, French, Mexican, Jewish, Costa Rican, Scottish, Cuban & Argentinean.

The Hongs blend elements of electro-pop with a dash of nuwave to create a sweet sugary pop-rock-disco. Spreading the dance / rock / house / electro hybrid one toe at a time…
“There is something very delicate and ephemeral about the Hongs. Their music sounds like something that reverberates in hallways in those moments before sleep hits.”

HistoryMiami’s newest exhibition, featuring Miami-inspired murals by Miami-based artists, is now open to the public.

Called Some Like It Hot, the exhibition is the first major museum/gallery showcase of Miami’s burgeoning street art scene, and was curated in collaboration with some of the art forms’ local pioneers and trailblazers: 2alas, Lo Castro, Tati Suarez, Erin Odea and the MSG Crew to name a few. Each contributed original works for the exhibit, inspired by Miami’s history.

Street art in has recently exploded in popularity and is now a definitive part of the cultural fabric in today’s Miami. The murals and outdoor pieces that dot the Wynwood/Midtown area have become major attractions for both tourists and locals alike, and have helped revitalize a once forgotten neighborhood. However, the impact the art form, and the nameless artists creating it (largely for free) have yet to be recognized by major galleries and museums in the area…until now.

General museum admission is free for HistoryMiami members and children under 6. Admission for adults is $8, seniors and students are $7 and $5 for children 6 – 12 years old.

On March 25, campers will revel in the aroma of fresh tomato sauce, as they craft an Italian feast from scratch. A fusion of Asian flavors will tantalize taste buds during the camp on March 26, and campers will explore a variety of fun foods on March 27, including Rice Krispies-encrusted chicken tenders, potato pancakes, beef empanadas and ambrosia.

Each camper will receive an apron and recipes to take home. In addition to refining their palates, campers will gain confidence in their culinary skills, learn important lessons about kitchen safety, and perhaps develop a passion for washing dishes—something moms everywhere can appreciate.

The camp runs March 25-27 from 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., allowing parents to carve out some grown-up time for themselves. Campers may participate in one day of the camp for $95, two days for $165 or all three days for $250.

During Party for the Planet, guests can come in free of charge if they turn in a cellphone as part of our ECO-CELL phone recycling program. Not only will each person donating a cellphone enter the zoo for free on these two days, but they will also help save gorillas! Cell phones include coltan, a mineral extracted in the deep forests of Congo in central Africa, home to the world’s endangered lowland gorillas. Fueled by the worldwide cell phone boom, Congo’s out-of-control coltan mining business has in recent years led to a dramatic reduction of animal habitat and the rampant slaughter of great apes for the illegal bush-meat trade. By turning in your cell phone, we can hopefully reduce the need for additional coltan … and help protect the gorillas.

What’s Living in the Forest?
Animals are adapted to the conditions found in their particular habitats, so, you will most likely come across dexterous climbers living where there are trees, and skilled swimmers occupying water habitats. Exploring a variety of natural places filled with life is a lot of fun at Zoo Camp!

Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes
The way animals are, from head to toe, may be very useful in their survival. For example, if you were an egg-eating snake you’d be able to swallow whole an egg bigger than your head! Children will have lots of fun taking a look at very special head, shoulders, knees and toes found in the Animal Kingdom.

Animal X-Ray
This camp day will highlight what supports vertebrate bodies: bones. Of all sizes and shapes, they serve vertebrates well. Through exciting activities using replicas and preserved bones, everyone will be introduced to animal anatomy and will have a better understanding of how animals are built inside.

Birds
What do hummingbirds and vultures have in common? Discover the amazing variety of behaviors, colors and shapes displayed in the birds’ world. Finding out how to help protecting bird species from extinction is part of this fun and feathery camp day.

Animal Giants
Let’s explore facts and behaviors of some large and remarkable animals that inhabit our planet. They are enormous reptiles and birds, colossal mammals and impressive insects! You will have a great time identifying some of their unique survival adaptations and learning about the challenges they encounter every day.

Cost: Free

Combining in-depth analysis, cutting-edge trends, compelling personal stories and a touch of humor, Dr. Richard Florida presents his insights into how creativity and the emergent Creative Class are revolutionizing cities and the global economy. Looking toward the future, Florida identifies the patterns that are transforming virtually every
aspect of our lives—from how and where we live, to how we work, to how we invest in individuals and infrastructure, to how we shape our cities and regions.
With statistics and examples, Florida illustrates how creativity and the creative class are the defining features of future economic progress. But if the dawn of this new era of the creative economy poses great opportunities, it also poses grand challenges that need be addressed.
Florida shows how the very same underlying force – the clustering of talented people, economic assets and innovation that propels our economy is also leading to growing inequality and class divides for cities and nations. The key to overcoming these challenges and to future progress, he tells us, is to tap and harness the full creativity of each and very human being. In doing so, he unveils the underlying keys to building great cities that power prosperity and can lead us to happier more fulfilling lives.
Florida lays out how our cities, our economy and our entire culture have reached a great turning point – one that is bigger even than the great transformation from agriculture to industry. He shows how we collectively today can lead to a more prosperous future for cities, nations and people.

Produced by Barry University’s Department of Fine Arts, this modern adaptation casts Tartuffe as a deposed televangelist who rooks Orgon and his family of their money and property and nearly compromises Orgon’s wife. The action takes place in a religious television studio in Baton Rouge where the characters cavort to either prevent or aid Tartuffe in his machinations. Written in modern verse, Tartuffe: Born Again adheres closely to the structure and form of the original. Moliere’s legendary comedic characters are delightfully at home in this modern day version that played at New York’s Circle in the Square.

Tickets are only $25 for a limited time and $45 thereafter!

Successfully hitting record capacity throughout the course of the night at their closing party this year, ANTS has been the standout debut Ibiza residency of 2013. Showing respect to the underground, whilst fitting perfectly in amongst the islands veterans, their colony of world-renowned guests, supported by their solid bill of residents has created a unique party atmosphere at Ibiza’s most sought after venue Ushuaïa Ibiza. Due to their quirky promotional campaigns and distinctive branding, ANTS has become the most talked about events of the season and with heavy plans for growth in 2013 and beyond, looks set to maintain its position.

ANTS deliberately keep the party underground and personal. In addition to the thousands of visitors flocking to Ibiza every summer, it is a party for the workers – the people who inextricably know the Ibiza scene – and this has been paramount to its success. From little bronze ants dotted around the island, to the ANTS logo on one-euro coins and cigarette boxes, the colony has been triumphant in its domination, encouraging everyone to join the colony. During the day DJs played behind Ushuaïa’s famous pool, placing them right in the action and as the evening unfolded the booth switched back to normal, with a heavy weight headliner announcing the second phase of the party. Fuelling the colony with positive vibrations are a range of top artists such as Joris Voorn, Nic Fanciulli, Deetron, George Fitzgerald, Hot Since 82, ONNO and emerging names like Andrea Oliva, UNER and Los Suruba.

“Through the Lens” – 60th Anniversary Alumni Artist Series: Exhibit 3

Carl Juste, ACND alumnus ’81, will present a retrospective of his work documenting the course of his 25 year career as photojournalist for the Miami Herald and past exhibits at ACND including: “Cachao” 2007; “Havana & Haiti” 2008; and “Invictus: Haiti Unconquered.”

Under threat of persecution, Haitian-born Carl Phillipe Juste (ACND alumnus 1981), fled with his family from Haiti in 1965. Settling in Miami’s Haitian community, Juste flourished academically and won a scholarship to the University of Miami. Although he intended to be an engineer, he could not ignore the photographic inner voice that had spoken to him since childhood. Responding to a clear relationship he shared with the visual world, Juste vigorously pursued photojournalism and since 1991, has served his community through his work at the Miami Herald. He has received numerous awards for his work from Picture of the Year, Pulitzer Prize, Society for News Design, Best of Photojournalism, and the Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award. Juste is founder of both the IPC Visual Lab and Iris Photo Collective.

Juste has exhibited his own work and of his students from IPC Visual Lab many times at the ACND Gallery, and has exhibited at both solo and group shows at the Bernice Steinbaum Gallery, Little Haiti Cultural Center, and other galleries throughout South Florida.

6-Show SXSW Alt Country / Bluegrass act, The Defibulators hit Miami for a performance Tuesday Night show at Will Call Miami.

Miami’s own gem, Los Bastardos, kick off the night!.

“The Defibulators (not defibrillators) hail from Brooklyn, New York’s thriving indie scene and they’ve developed a funky, rootsy, out-of-control sound that’s all their own. The six-man, one-woman band blends bluegrass, country, honky tonk, rockabilly, Dixieland jazz, punk, and maybe a touch of anti-folk into an intoxicating, good-time mélange that’s guaranteed to slap a smile on your face. Roots-heavy, post-punk music that reinvents the conventions of country music with a CBGB-meets-Grand Ole Opry feel.”

“War Story” is the third film produced by an industry newcomer, Kreate Films, a local South Florida production company. Lee (Catherine Keener) is a war photographer who has spent her adult life in the world’s most treacherous conflict zones, documenting the catastrophes of others. When we meet her, she has recently experienced her own horror after being taken hostage and brutalized in Libya. Instead of returning to New York where her concerned colleagues and loved ones anxiously await her, Lee detours to Sicily instead, where she holes up in a small hotel to weather her PTSD on her own terms, not far from the home of her former lover and mentor Albert (Ben Kingsley). As Lee struggles to recover from her psychic and physical wounds, she crosses paths with Hafsia (Hafsia Herzi), a young Tunisian migrant in need of an abortion and safe passage to France, who bears a striking resemblance to a Libyan girl Lee photographed just before her capture. Desperate to connect, Lee tries to help Hafsia, and conquer her own formidable demons in the process.

“Six Degrees of Techno” (or 6DoT) is a new organization that connects passionate electronic dance music enthusiasts within local communities and bridges those alliances with similar groups in other cities. We seek to create and cultivate the valuable relationships made through the sharing of this music and leverage these relationships into something that is bigger than the sum of its parts. 6DoT’s philanthropic focus aims to help non-profits and other organizations that provide much-needed music education and artistic development programs to young adults that would otherwise not have access.

More information on Facebook

StarsOutreach is a non-profit, tax-exempt 501(c)(3) organization whose mission is “to provide opportunities for talented students to interact, learn, and be inspired by established artists as their mentors in order to achieve their full artistic, intellectual, social, cultural, and physical potential”. Their artist enrichment programs focus on career development and specialized music lessons within their state-of-the-art facility in downtown Hollywood, Florida. Through guidance and positive reinforcement, Stars Outreach supports its students and enables them to rise above challenges by providing them with creative outlets and the opportunity to express themselves in productive ways.

More information at: https://www.facebook.com/Starsoutreach

6DoT’s inaugural event will benefit StarsOutreach’s artistic development programs. 100% of ticket proceeds and a portion of the bar sales will go directly into a scholarship fund which the organization will pull from to provide services for economically-disadvantaged kids who otherwise would not be able to use their services.

An icon of Buenos Aires’ dynamic alternative music scene, Johansen’s music truly represents the sophistication of Latin American culture.

Born in Alaska to an Argentine mother, Johansen grew up between the US and Argentina. He spent his 20s in New York City, before returning to Buenos Aires to immerse himself in the life of the city.

His sound today reflects a sophisticated amalgam of influences, from his early rock years and modern songwriting, to classic Latin elements like tango and milonga – all anchored by a dose of poetic lyrics and sublime arrangements. His records have been nominated for the Grammy Awards’ Best Latin Pop album and the Latin Grammy Awards’ Album of the Year, Song of the Year and Best Music Video, among other categories. Johansen + The Nada perform their first public concert in Miami in support of their new “Bi”, as in bi-cultural, a two-disk edition reflecting the influences of both North and South America.

Tickets are $41.50/$61.50. Order them online here or call (305) 673-3331 or in person at the New World Center box office. Rhythm Foundation members, call us at 305-672-5202 for direct ticketing.

Don’t miss out on this great opportunity to have work by a Miami legend!

“Odds & Ends is a collection of works that although were not design to function as a complete body of work do show a linear form of thought and ideas in transition. Many times when an artist is creating they go through many trials and errors before achieving the style or aesthetic they want , this body of work presents old pieces, new pieces and works that haven’t seen too much light but clearly show a path from point A to point B. Most of the work will be aerosol but there are some pieces that showcase acrylics along side their spraycan counter parts to create an atmosphere that is colorful, surreal, and curious with lines , geometry and experimentation.”

Author and advocate in the war against childhood sex abuse (CSA), Julie Marie Mansfield will be conducting her Catalyst Series/Book signing of her debut book ‘Maybe God Was Busy,’ 6:30pm, Wednesday, March 5, 2014, at Books and Books (265 Aragon Ave, Coral Gables, FL 33134.) Mansfield’s goal is to raise awareness and create a platform to foster dialogue and healing for those affected by CSA. According to Crimes Against Children Research Center 1 in 5 girls and 1 in 20 boys is a victim of child sexual abuse. As alarming as these numbers are, they could be drastically higher as it is widely accepted that only one out of every 10 cases of CSA is reported. Jamaican-born Mansfield is committed to sharing her story, especially as the nation gets ready to commemorate National Sexual Abuse Awareness Month (April), and is hoping that in telling her story others will be encouraged to tell their own. She also hopes that people will see the face and human side of the ravages of CSA as oppose to just the statistics that are given when one speaks about CSA.
