MegaRumba to Support Those in Need of Food and Medicine in Venezuela

SWARM and iHeart’s TU 94.9 have once again partnered to bring MegaRumba to Wynwood. This year, they will be raising funds in support of the Cuatro Por Venezuela Foundation, which has been fighting hunger, illness, and poverty in Venezuela since 2016. Taking place on the 20th of July, this festival of independence for all Hispanic cultures welcomes everyone to join in this single collective celebration, being a source of mutual pride and unity, and allowing everyone to enjoy a variety of Latin music, flavors, dancing, arts and crafts.

For the first time ever in the U.S., Danny Ocean will perform “Me Rehuso” at MegaRumba. Also performing live is Sofia Reyes, winner of an MTV Millennial, Latin Grammy and iHeart Media Award, as well as Grammy and Latin Grammy nominated bilingual Latin band, Locos Por Juana. Venezuelan singer/actor Victor Drijo and Nicole Favre will also join iHeart radio’s ever-popular DJ’s on center stage. In addition, there will be food trucks, arts & craft vendors, and several fully stocked bars, offering everything from the best of Bud Light and mixed drinks to specialty flavored mojitos by Cruzan.

The festival will run from 7PM to 3AM and it will continue to be FREE to enjoy. With the purchase of a $10 donation ticket, people can help Venezuela, but also enjoy a free Bud Light and shot from the giant Aguardiente Ice Luge ($19 value). Cuatro Por Venezuela Foundation will receive 100% of that ticket, so they may continue to provide educational, medical, and nutritional aid to Venezuelans in need. “Venezuela is under a profound humanitarian crisis, and we want to do something about it. One of the great things about Miami is our ethnic unity and getting to witness the neighborly love as the melting pot of Latin cultures come together in times of need. We are eager to help in this time of desperation in Venezuela and are excited to contribute towards uniting others in helping as well,” says Tony Albelo, SWARM CEO. South Florida has the largest concentration of Venezuelans in the United States, and SWARM is hoping to make a positive impact towards getting Venezuela some much needed help.

WHERE:

Cost: Free

Make Music Day, the annual global celebration of music on the summer solstice, returns this year on Thursday, June 21 with more than 4,500 free outdoor concerts, music lessons, jam sessions and other exciting music-making events being held in over 70 U.S. cities in 31 States. New York City, Los Angeles, Austin Boston, Chicago, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Hartford, Madison, Miami, Minneapolis-St. Paul, Philadelphia, Salem (OR) and Nashville are among the numerous cities hosting major celebrations – as well as the entire states of Vermont and Connecticut – in what has become a worldwide phenomenon observed by hundreds of millions of people in 800 cities in 120 countries.

Completely different from a typical music festival, Make Music Day celebrates and promotes the natural music maker in all of us, regardless of ability. Reimagining their cities and towns as stages, every kind of musician – from bucket drummers and opera singers to hip-hop artists and marching bands – pours onto streets, parks, plazas, porches, rooftops, gardens and other public spaces to celebrate, create and share their music with friends, neighbors and strangers.

Launched in France in 1982 as the Fête de la Musique, Make Music Day is presented in the U.S. by The NAMM Foundation and coordinated by the nonprofit Make Music Alliance. This year Make Music Miami, a collaborative effort of Buskerfest Miami, the Rhythm Foundation and Guitars Over Guns will expand on its previous iterations to take over all of Miami Dade County, including the Mama Mia! Sing-Along Truck, a roving karaoke station in the back of a pickup truck, a house party in Westchester, over 30 performances on Lincoln Road, and even an experimental music performance of Dean Rosenthal’s Stones/Water/Time/Breath in the Amelia Earheart Park.

Other highlights include webcasting of live performances to multiple Miami-Dade Public Library locations (for weather-proof viewing pleasure), a specially-curated live DJ set for the morning commute by DJ Le Spam, as well as Mass Appeals that gather large groups of musicians to participate in impromptu performances using single instruments such as harmonicas, ukuleles, and drums.

To honor the celebration’s French beginnings, the day of festivities will conclude with a free performance by Worakls, the rising French DJ and electronic musician, at the North Beach Bandshell hosted by the French Embassy Cultural Services with the support of the France Florida Foundation for the Arts and the City of Miami Beach, Cultural Affairs Program, Cultural Arts Council. Opening sets by local artists Haitian musician Inez Barlatier and DJ APACHE and will start the evening.

All Make Music Day events are free and open to the public. Participants who wish to perform, or to host musical events, may register at MakeMusicMiami.org. A full schedule of events will be posted on the website in early June.

This celebration is supported by the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, Miami DDA and Lincoln Road BID and French Embassy Cultural Services.

Lychee Summer Celebration
Saturday, 06/30/2018 – 02:00 pm – 11:00 pm
Schnebly Redland's Winery
30205 SW 217th Avenue,
Homestead, Florida 33030
Website
Cost: $15 – $20

On June 30, Schnebly Redlands Winery will release the Lychee fruits of their labor in a most entertaining way during their Lychee Summer Celebration (LSC), partnering for the first time with the South Dade Chamber of Commerce and the American Cancer Society. The family friendly event has been a source of pride to the area, with South Florida being the only place in the Continental United States where the Lychee fruit is grown. The celebration will begin at 2pm, when the Farmer’s Market opens with 50 vendors and six food trucks. At the Grand Tiki Culinary Lounge, guests will expand their food knowledge and watch Cooking Demos on how to incorporate lychee, local and organic foods in the kitchen. A family Mud Run, an awards ceremony, and live music will round out the celebration only to culminate with a patriotic fireworks display.

“This year’s Lychee harvest is the largest crop we’ve seen in years, not only did the trees survive Hurricane Irma, but the crop was actually improved by the stress of Irma; it’s a testament to the strength of the South Florida community and its agricultural roots,” says Peter Schnebly, Founder of Schnebly Winery. During the Summer Celebration, the Winery will be offering three Lychee wines, and three limited special release Lychee beers from Miami Brewing Company. Several South Florida restaurants and food trucks will offer their culinary take on the Lychee fruit by way of creative recipes, such as Lychee Seafood Ceviche and Lychee Martini Ice Cream. The possibilities are endless, and Schnebly can’t wait to see their partners get creative with this year’s harvest at the Culinary Grand Tiki Lounge featuring StartUP FIU Food Mentors such as Half Moon Empanadas, Pro Kitchen Hub, My Ceviche, and Lulu’s Ice Cream, to name a few.

While guests enjoy the different variations of Lychee, they can also browse 200+ classic/modern Chevrolet Corvettes, custom cars, Jeeps, 4x4s and other classics throughout the day. The Lychee Summer Celebration Meet Up will be hosted by Corvettes & Coffee and Cecil’s Jeep Fam. Guests can also explore over 40+ artisan and craft vendors in the Artist Colony as they sculpt, sew and sand down hand-made goods. In addition, Live Painting Sessions will showcase some of the area’s best muralists using 40 ft. long shipping containers as their canvas.

At 5pm, the first Schnebly Family Mud Run will kick off, benefitting the American Cancer Society to fund cancer research. Participating runners will be given a glow necklace to display the Cancer they’ll be running for, while conquering an “all new” course compete with obstacles. While the five-kilometer course will honor the 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winners during an official ceremony before the fireworks, every runner will receive a medal to commemorate their run. All proceeds from the run will go to the American Cancer Society, and anyone who buys a ticket for the run will get free admission to the Lychee Summer Celebration; family members get special pricing on LSC tickets with Runner Registration.

Last call for Kill the Keg!!

On Saint Patrick’s Day 2008 the Miami bar scene was forever changed when The Irish Times Pub & Eatery opened its doors for the first time, and for the last 10 years it’s been an honor to feed your bad decisions, alcohol addiction, and late night cravings for bangers and mash and corned beef sliders.

However, after many, many frustrating months of negotiations with our landlord over the rent, and being on a month to month tenancy due to not being able to reach a compromise, we had to make the terribly difficult, emotional decision to close the doors for good.

BUT!! In true Irish Times’s spirit, we’re going out with a BANG and so we invite you out on our last weekend to come in to say goodbye, write all the shitty Yelp reviews you want, Instagram all the wonderful quotes on the walls, and TIP YOUR BARTENDER!!!!

Peace out!

Ancient civilizations were known to entrust the winds of March to carry their wishes to the divine. On Friday, March 23rd, Faena Forum will call upon the awakened for a night of multi-disciplinary magic with Noche de Brujas, a festive celebration of female-driven performance art merging ancient rituals, visual art, technology, music, dance and more to create a contemporary ritual for the 21st century.

An “anti-concert” at the height of Miami Music Week, Noche de Brujas features an impressive line-up of artists who work with sound and music alongside musicians with strong visual language to create an immersive experience like no other. These eclectic artists align themselves with the esoteric and the spiritual, engaging in practices that verge on the shamanistic and the “brujeria,” including tarot readings, psychic divination and Yoruba religion as it is practiced in Afro-Cuban tradition.

Through each of their crafts, these artists are modern-day goddesses, sirens, aliens and witches who together will explore the gray areas between music and art, sacred and profane, traditional and futuristic – ultimately embracing the “witch” architype as a feminist and anti-patriarch in a larger movement that challenges preconceived notions of systems, knowledge, power…and the unknown.

The Noche de Brujas ceremony begins with a ritual cleansing of Faena Forum by Afro-Cuban dance and music group IFE-ILE, followed by an offering to Oshun, the Yoruba goddess of the river representing womanhood in all of her forms. Through this practice, the space is converted into a living altar featuring inspired collaborative works by visual artists Virgo and Carlos Betancourt.

The night’s celebrations continue with a series of live performances, musical acts and immersive installations by Juliana Huxtable, Poorgrrrl, Voila Snow, Georgia Wall, Sandflower, Kalup Linzy, Jen DeNike, and Suzi Analogue.

Event is complimentary and open to the public. RSVP required. Guests are encouraged to arrive early to experience the purification ritual and live tarot readings. Visit http://www.faena.com/blog/article/noche-de-brujas/ to RSVP and learn more.

Grillin N’ Chillin kicks off BBQ season with a full-blown countryside event that’s free for the entire family. Whether you’re craving backyard barbecue spare ribs, a southern brisket or a mouthwatering pulled pork sandwich, Grillin N Chillin has compiled 40-50 BBQ vendors from around town offering everything from Memphis style barbecue to Brazilian churrasco. Celebrating its 4th anniversary, this year’s festival will take place at the Wynwood Marketplace, more commonly known for hosting Wynwood Art Walk’s block party.

At Grillin’s Kitchen Lab, South Florida’s premier pit masters will take center stage to smoke the competition out at this year’s BBQ Cook Off. In between cooking demos, their saucy host will perform a ROAST comedy show. In addition, they will pit two local backyard chefs and their best burger recipe at Miami’s Best Backyard Burger competition. Those interested in participating should register their recipe at WynwoodBBQFest.com. For the first time ever, Grillin N’ Chillin will have a Veggie Corner, where Miami’s top, vegetarian and vegan eateries will showcase their menu. While kids enjoy the Family Fun Zone, adults can relax at The Pit, a pop-up BBQ-infused sports bar that will have bars and live music, or they can “Get Lost in the Sauce” at the huge sauce bar. Be sure to pick up some SWARM Bar Bucks online to save money on mixed drinks (($25 for $45 value at the bar). Also, bring your furry pups, because the Hot Dogz playground will have plenty of treats for them to enjoy. In addition, the Animal Adoption Truck will be on site for those looking to take home a pet. To round off a day of good BBQ, Grillin N’ Chillin has compiled a number of popular dessert vendors who will be ready to satisfy your sweet tooth.

Perhaps the coolest feature at this year’s Grillin N’ Chillin is both the humanitarian and ecological stand that it’s going to take. SWARM, the creators of this festival, will set up a Miami Rescue Mission tent, so that people can sponsor a meal for a hungry person. In addition, it will be “going green” by partnering with Debris Free Oceans to become a zero-waste event. “To date, no other event in South Florida has taken this into consideration, so we’re excited to have proper sorting, composting and recycling stations in addition to other green efforts,” says Tony Albelo, CEO at SWARM.

The Thrifter Marketplace will feature artisan-crafted goods and artwork, and the mainstage will showcase live music and DJ’s. In addition, Miami’s food trucks will be present to offer their best bites!

3x JUNO (Canada’s Grammy) nominees Sultans of String return to The Arts Garage 2/23/18

Cost: $30-$45

Back by popular demand, Canada’s multiple award winning string slingers SULTANS OF STRING bring their genre hopping musical passport to Delray audiences.

For the past 10 years, 3x JUNO Award nominees and triple Canadian Folk Music Award winners Sultans of String have thrilled audiences with their global sonic tapestry of Gypsy-jazz, Spanish Flamenco, Celtic, Arabic folk, and Cuban rhythms, celebrating musical fusion and human creativity with warmth and virtuosity.

They’ve been celebrating this milestone decade of music-making with a digital and vinyl release, aptly titled ’10’ (featuring re-mastered cuts from their 6-CD catalogue).

Folk Radio UK recently described their music as “an enthralling, adventurous celebration of the power music has to transcend geographical and cultural boundaries, and Sultans of String wield that power with grace, eloquence and spirit.” Indeed ’10’, is more than a global sonic tapestry. It is a musical promise that embraces differences while finding common ground across culture, land, and time. While the album treks across all kinds of musical terrain, the fertile soil beneath each track is fed by hope unhindered and freedom found.

At the core of the band’s sound is Queen’s Diamond Jubilee recipient Chris McKhool’s fiery fiddle, melded seamlessly with founding guitarist Kevin Laliberté’s (Jesse Cook) rumba rhythm. Together their musical synergy create Sultans of String’s signature sound – the intimate and playful relationship between violin and guitar. Added to this rich foundation for the show is in-the-pocket bass master Drew Birston (Chantal Kreviazuk).

ABOUT THE LEGENDARY SUSANNE BARTSCH:

Susanne Bartsch is New York City’s patron saint of transformation and inclusion. The parties she’s thrown for three decades–from Paris to Tokyo–have provided a venue for countless creative souls and “creatures” to express themselves, come together and forget the hum-drum of the everyday. As Michael Schulman wrote in his 2013 New York Times profile, Susanne’s “empire” continues to flourish “particularly among scene seekers too green to know her history. Wherever Ms. Bartsch goes, the demimonde seems to follow, as if summoned by the bat of her curlicued fake eyelashes.” Fashion mogul John Badum once referred to Susanne as “Mother Teresa in a glitter G-string.” nominations and an award as “The Best Art Direction.”

WHERE IS PACHANGA ISLAND?

A remote island that’s about a 10 minute boat ride off the shores of downtown Miami, where you can party hard all day long and even harder into the early, late, and evening yonder…

WHEN IS THE PACHANGA’S HALLOWEEN PARTY?

The journey starts on Sat. October 28 at 12 noon (Actual Main Halloween Party is from 7pm – 4am). Though, we will be partying on the Island until late Sun. October 29 ( Last boat rides to mainland at 5:45pm)… RAIN or SHINE!

You purchase your tickets for the boat ride to the island and as a courtesy we will provide all the music, fun people, performers, entertainment, and anything else that is included with your respective ticket(s), during your stay on PACHANGA ISLAND (Yes, the island is bare with no amenities or furniture; however, we will have makeshift toilets on the island and also there is one on the boat/ferry)… You can attend just the main party on Saturday (7p – 4a), or you can come earlier during the Saturday (boat rides start at noon), and you can also stay for the afterparty until Sunday (6pm). If you are planning on staying overnight, you must bring with you everything you’d need for a comfortable stay… Especially, don’t forget:

— To bring a Tent and/or Pass-Out or Sleeping Gears

The event is expected to attract many guests throughout our community and bring French dignitaries to the City of North Miami Beach. In addition to unveiling the sculpture of Totor, we are revealing the Totor Art Plaza which will provide a brand-new look for the landscaping in front of City Hall for the enjoyment of our residents.

In July 2016, Stéphane Bolongaro, a former North Miami Beach gallery owner donated his world famous Totor sculpture to the City. Totor was the featured piece in Monaco this past March during Mr. Bolongaro’s art exhibition that hosted His Serene Highness Prince Albert II. In August 2017, Stéphane Bolongaro launched his second exhibition of Totor at the Promenade du Paillon in Nice, France.

As part of the vision of being a beautiful and safe residential community in South Florida, the City of North Miami Beach looks for opportunities to make that a reality. Implementing art in public places throughout the City is one such means of realizing that vision. To learn more, please contact us at public.affairs@citynmb.com.

What’s Your Elephant Art Exhibit 7/15/17

1310 Gallery, Sailboat Bend Artists Loft

Eventbrite
Cost: FREE

The Elephant in the Room is an idiom for an obvious truth that is either being ignored, or otherwise unaddressed. The purpose of this exhibit is to provide a safe place for issues and topics that are normally hidden from public view. Through visual and performance art, the artists participating in this event will share secrets and taboos, discussing openly to find solutions for individual and collective emancipation. Attendees are invited to enter the ‘Confessional’, an interactive safe space installation to share their ‘elephant’.

What’s Your Elephant will be hosted by 1310 Gallery residents Niki Lopez, visual artist, & designer, and Alana DaCosta, multidisciplinary artist.

Featured artists include: Niki Lopez, Alana DaCosta, AJ Grossman, Ana Rossi, Cheryl Brown, Macarena Zilveti, Mila Hajjar, Cesca Veo, Alex Tuzinsky, Chire Regans, Tabatha Mudra, Jose Silva, Yudelka Tavera, Zeal Harris, Artists for Black Lives Matter collective and SunServe Youth

Opening night performance featuring: Alana DaCosta, Profound Breath, We’re Weird, and Nephii Love, Bishop and Venus Rising Drum and Dance Troupe

Lopez and DaCosta will also host an interactive workshop called “What’s Your Elephant”, where participants can use creative arts in a safe space to reveal individual or societal “elephants”. “The obvious is oftentimes ignored and swept under the rug. Some people may chose to never face it,” says DaCosta, who also has a MS in Mental Health Counseling. “Yet, we all have creative energy and have the power of choice to free ourselves of whatever makes us uncomfortable. Through creative expression, many can learn to address the issue and share with others who most likely have their own elephant”.
“It’s about acknowledging it (the elephant), owning it, so that it doesn’t define you.” Says Lopez, an artist and activist with her own elephant that will be revealed at the exhibit.

As a part of this movement, Lopez & DaCosta ask that the public participate by submitting their unspoken truth AND use the hashtag #whatsyourelephant on Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr and Instagram.

“Iconic Neo-POP,” a new show created by mixed media artist Cory Bennett, will be featured in the main gallery. Bennett combines pop themes, iconic images and neo-expressionist techniques to produce work that is wary of modern society.

In addition to Bennett, the Florida Watercolor Society will be featured in the East and Kuhn galleries.

Bubbles, Michael Jackson’s Chimp, Really Does Paint!

Miami, June 8, 2017: After great success at Art Basel 2012, the paintings by Michael Jackson’s chimpanzee, Bubbles, and many others will be on display for 10 days at Frames USA & Art Gallery in Miami. The opening reception will be on July 21, 2017 from 6pm-10pm where the public can view and purchase a very unique piece of original ape art.

“Purchasing a piece of original art by apes is a collectible. It creates conversation, it is a form of expression, and it is rare”, Adam Brand says, owner of Frames USA. “Not to mention that the proceeds from the sales of the art will go to an amazing cause”

Over the years, zoos and sanctuaries have dabbled into selling artwork at their gift shops by resident animals to raise money. However, the purpose of this art show, Apes that Paint, extends beyond that. It seeks to establish the fact that apes are artists without judgment and second that these ape artists are contributing to the fundraising efforts for The Center for Great Apes, located in Wauchula, Florida.

Aside from artworks from our star artist Bubbles, the exhibition will host other wonderful original pieces from celebrity apes. Among them, the art of chimpanzees from Planet of the Apes, and orangutans from the movie Going Apes, and NBC’s soap opera Passions. The crowd will enjoy complimentary food and wine sponsored by Carolina Ale House and a limited-edition gift with their RSVP to the event. For free admission and gift, RSVP at http://www.framesusamiami.com/frames-usa-events-1.html by July 18.

Come experience this unique art show and take an exciting piece home that will marvel friends and family, and learn about a sanctuary that helps protect chimpanzee and orangutans.

About The Leah Arts District
Hialeah’s Southeastern industrial corridor rose to prominence during the 1980s as one of the largest and busiest areas of production and manufacturing in Florida. As a result of modernization combined with the effects of outsourcing, the uses that were once prevalent in the area dissipated and this particular area was all but abandoned.
Since that time, a medley of different uses has been incorporated into the area including a heavy presence of some of Miami-Dade County’s most prolific thrift stores.

These thrift stores have been instrumental in introducing Hialeah to an entire generation of antique lovers and artists. The Hialeah Artist Live/Work Overlay District, also known as The Leah Arts District, enjoys a strategic proximity to the newly proposed Hialeah Market Station development project, Miami’s artistic hubs, and other destination areas within Miami-Dade County. Because of it’s location and highly affordable price per square footage, Hialeah’s new Artist Live / Work District is in a position to play a vital and important role in the artistic and cultural development of not only Hialeah, but the entire South Florida community.
