Three Wednesday evenings of hands-on art, conversation, and community, grounded in Miami’s land, water, and plants.

Grounded: Sustainable Art Workshops

Three Wednesday evenings of art, conversation, and community, grounded in Miami’s land, water, and roots. Wednesdays, October 14, 21 and 28 — 6:30 -8:30 PM.

Everything you need is provided. We use sustainable materials and found objects, and you’re warmly invited to bring something personal to make your piece your own.

Series arc: CONFRONT — OBSERVE — PROTECT

October 14 — LAND: From Waste to Regrowth.We’ll explore Miami’s waste story, from landfills and plastics to how we can become more circular, drawing on solutions from the past. Using reclaimed materials, you’ll create a landscape that holds both the damage and the regrowth. The past is something we can be better than. Creative prompt:What happens to a landscape after we change it?
October 21 — WATER: What Water Remembers. We’ll begin with a short waterfront walk and a look at the Bay’s ecology and the ongoing Water Study in the Everglades. Together we’ll consider water, wildlife, boating, noise, and pollution, and the moments when reduced human activity helped us notice our urban ecosystems differently. Natural Earth Paint materials may be introduced if available. Creative Prompt: If water could speak, what would it say to us?
October 28 — ROOTS: What Was Here Before Us? We’ll focus on native South Florida plants and wildlife, Indigenous presence and sovereignty, stewardship, gratitude and responsibility to place.Creative prompt:Create a portrait of something you believe deserves to remain here.
Visit the exhibition: These workshops take place while Atelierlustig’s exhibition and artist residency are on view at the gallery. Their show connects closely with our sustainability themes where they explore de-centering the human and the post-anthropocentric theory. So come early to explore before we begin!

Format: 90–120 minutes, 6:30–8:30 PM. Each session includes 10 minutes of environmental story or local context, 10–15 minutes for the creative prompt and examples, 60–75 minutes of making, and 15 minutes for informal sharing and discussion.

Parking: Park at Chopin Plaza (100 Chopin Plaza, Miami).

Website
Cost: $15

Lights, camera, meow! PURRR Adoption + Sanctuary (PURRR) – a nonprofit organization with a mission to transform cats’ lives one PURRR at a time, through rescue, adoption, and spay + neuter initiatives – invites the community to a viewing of the film, “25 Cats of Qatar,” directed by Mye Hoang, at Savor Cinema on Oct. 18 at 2 p.m. Tickets are available for $15.

Guests will have the opportunity to meet and greet with the PURRR team to learn more about the nonprofit’s work and mission. “25 Cats of Qatar” Director Mye Hoang will be at the reception immediately after the movie to meet and greet with guests.

Founded in 2018, PURRR Adoption + Sanctuary is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization with a mission to transform cats’ lives one PURRR at a time, through rescue, adoption, and spay + neuter initiatives that help reduce overpopulation and ultimately enrich the human-feline connection. PURRR is committed to giving cats and their companions a better future by offering a safe haven and encouraging responsible pet ownership.

PURRR’s team and volunteers bring a wealth of experience and compassion to everything they do. From adoptions to spay + neuter services, every aspect of PURRR is driven by a deep love for cats and a commitment to their well-being.

“25 Cats of Qatar” Synopsis: Qatar is one of the world’s wealthiest nations, and its rapid growth is powered by migrant workers who make 89% of the population. But underneath the luxurious surface lies an overwhelming street cat population where disease is rampant, the heat is extreme, and expats are burdened to help the struggling felines.

When an American flight attendant and cat cafe owner becomes aware of the crisis, she hatches a plan to fly 25 cats to Milwaukee, where her cat cafe provides a pipeline for adoption. Presenting a microcosm of a global crisis, the film asks searching questions about animal welfare, all within a ticking-clock narrative about the nuts and bolts of a rescue mission. It is both an urgent wake-up call and a heartwarming story of overcoming international barriers for a common goal.

Through its “Find Your One” process, PURRR’s team helps future cat moms and dads find their soul cat and guides them every step of the way. With over 150 adoptable cats, the PURRR team knows every cat – their personality, history, quirks and what kind of home they need to become themselves fully. Whether future cat parents are seeking a playful and energetic kitten, a calm and cuddly adult cat, or a wise and gentle senior, PURRR’s diverse selection of feline friends ensures there’s a perfect match for every home. Soul cat profiles built around personality are available on each feline friend in PURRR’s care.

The “Find Your One” experience starts with filling out an application to help PURRR’s team understand the adoptee’s preferences, lifestyle, and what they’re looking for in a cat companion. Within 48 hours, a PURRR team member will schedule a meet and greet for the chance to see firsthand the personalities and quirks of feline residents. After connecting with a potential furry family member, PURRR schedules a 15-minute in-home, educational consultation to ensure a smooth integration into the home. PURRR prioritizes the new feline family member’s well-being and conducts a comprehensive final medical examination and bloodwork before taking the lifelong feline companion home. The PURRR team will check in after a week to ensure a smooth transition and address any questions. Beyond adoption day, PURRR provides support, resources, and guidance throughout the journey as a pet owner.

The OUTshine LGBTQ+ Film Festival returns for its Fall Edition running October 15 – 25, 2026, in South Florida. This edition brings more than 20 new international, North American, East Coast and Florida premieres from 20 countries to Broward and Miami-Dade counties!

Internationally acclaimed as one of the largest LGBTQ+ cultural festivals in the world, this season’s OUTshine line-up reinforces the festival team’s commitment to artistic and cultural solidarity by offering vibrant, thought-provoking, entertaining and educational star-studded features, documentaries and shorts.

The award-winning historical drama La Bola Negra (Spain, France 2026) will kick off the festivities in Broward on Thursday, October 15, at 7 p.m., at Regal Dania Pointe. La Bola Negra, directed, co-written and produced by Cannes-winning directors Javier Calvo and Javier Ambrossi (Los Javis) weaves a tale of three gay men living across three generations who find their lives linked by love, loss, and an unfinished work by Federico García Lorca that echoes through Spain’s queer history. Calvo and Ambrossi’s La Bola Negra stars Spanish music sensation Guitarricadelafuente, Miguel Bernardeau, Carlos González, Milo Quifes, Lola Dueñas, Julio Torres, Penélope Cruz and Glenn Close. This ambitious drama is both a tribute to Lorca’s artistic legacy and a powerful celebration of resilience and self-expression.

An afterparty will follow at Dania Pointe’s 14 North Daiquiri Bar.

Galleria Fort Lauderdale will host a special ribbon cutting ceremony to launch The Poppy Project Pop-Up Living Garden in support of Henderson Behavioral Health (HBH) in collaboration with the USS Fort Lauderdale (LPD28) Support Committee on Thursday, September 10, at 4:30 p.m. The public is invited to join City of Fort Lauderdale Mayor Dean Trantalis and community leaders with singer Zachary Kopelman, as they unveil this public art initiative designed to honor veterans while raising awareness and funds for critical mental health services. The cherished photo opportunity with the larger-than-life artistic poppy flowers will run through November 10 at Galleria Fort Lauderdale (2414 East Sunrise Blvd.)

Designed by South Florida based Ingham Landscaping and presented by Galleria Fort Lauderdale, the two-month living garden will be a colorful and lively setting featuring the five-and 6-foot striking handcrafted fiberglass poppy flowers which are a remembrance of those who protect and serve our country. The inside mall garden will include a variety of tropical ornamental plants and shrubs that will complement the artistic poppy works of art sponsored by key community partners, sponsors, and supporters including The Leo Goodwin Foundation, Arlene Pecora, the Henderson Behavioral Health Board of Directors, Florida Power & Light Company (FPL), USS Fort Lauderdale (LPD28) Support Committee, Community Foundation of Broward, Disabled American Veterans-Gold Coast Chapter 133, Riverwalk Fort Lauderdale and Galleria Fort Lauderdale

Mall guests can take colorful photos and selfies to share online and connect with and donate to HBH’s virtual Legacy Wall which encourages friends and families to honor loved ones who have served or are currently serving our country. Special retail offers will coincide with this community project.

Adding to the installation, will be “Soldier Stories,” an exclusive exhibition by award-winning artist Marilyn Johansen honoring veterans and the military. Visitors will also be encouraged to select free postcards and add a personal message to current servicemen and women. This special moment is arranged by the USS Fort Lauderdale (LPD28) Support Committee.

Inspired by the poppy’s historical significance as a symbol of sacrifice, rooted in the World War I poem “In Flanders Fields,” and later adopted as a national emblem of remembrance, HBH’s The Poppy Project brings this tradition to life in a local and meaningful way.

The effort is sponsored by key community partners and supporters including The Leo Goodwin Foundation, Arlene Pecora, the Henderson Behavioral Health Board of Directors, Florida Power & Light Company (FPL), USS Fort Lauderdale (LPD28) Support Committee, Community Foundation of Broward, Disabled American Veterans-Gold Coast Chapter 133, Riverwalk Fort Lauderdale and Galleria Fort Lauderdale.

Website
Cost: Free

Island City Stage will hold a special “Who’s Afraid of the Big Bad Book?!” free interactive panel discussion on April 18 at 4 p.m., following the 2 p.m. matinee performance of Everything Beautiful Happens at Night.

Emmy Award-winning journalist and theatermaker Ariel Cipolla will lead a timely and thought-provoking discussion exploring the vital role of LGBTQ+ storytelling in children’s literature. Through personal insights and candid dialogue with acclaimed author Rob Sanders, director of KidLit for the Seymour Agency Joyce Sweeney, and children’s picture book author and editor Matt Tesoriero, theatre-goers will learn about the growing wave of book bans and the cultural debate shaping today’s literary landscape and consider who gets to tell stories, why they matter, and what’s at stake for the next generation. The discussion is free to attend.

Audiences and critics are enchanted by Island City Stage’s East Coast premiere of Everything Beautiful Happens at Night, by Ted Malawer (Red, White, & Royal Blue), and directed by Bruce Linser, a tender, funny, and moving story about the life you have, the life you want, and who stays when the world gets quiet.

The show focuses on Ezra, a closeted children’s book author and Nancy, his fiercely loyal editor. Their creative partnership has shaped stories that delight generations. But when writer’s block pushes Ezra far past deadlines to deliver his latest book, a new voice enters the conversation and begins to change Ezra’s life, inspiring a controversial ending to Chipmunk and Squirrel, and testing the limits of his friendship with Nancy.

Everything Beautiful Happens at Night features an esteemed and talented cast including Carbonell award-nominated Christopher Dreeson as Ezra, multi-Carbonell and Silver Palm award-winner Laura Turnbull as Nancy, and rising star Aidan Paul as Jake. The thoughtful, charming illustrations that serve as the play’s backdrop were created by Bong Redila, an award-winning Filipino American illustrator and author based in Miami.

Everything Beautiful Happens at Night co-producers are Russell Vance, Michael Mullins and Terry Gaw; Lights and Sound Sponsor is Scott Bennett; Talent Sponsors are Paul Rolli & Bennett Quade and Robert Lee; Costume Sponsors are Rita Cassady and John Colemen; Set Sponsors are Margie & Trevor Fried; and Illustrations Sponsor is DC Allen & Ken Flick No Gay Hate Fund at Our Fund. Additional funding is provided by the following: The Our Fund Foundation, The Schubert Foundation Inc., the SHS Foundation, the Warten Foundation, and OutClique.

The Coconut Grove Theatre Festival (CGTFest) returns April 16–19, 2026, bringing four days of original new plays, both emerging and award-winning voices, and community-driven theatre back to its historic Miami home.

Following a successful inaugural year that featured eight plays, 16 of Miami’s leading and emerging theatre creatives, 42 actors from across South Florida, and more than 700 audience members, CGTFest returns in 2026 with expanded programming and renewed ambition.

What made CGTFest 2025 such a success was the incredible excitement and support, both from our artists and partners, and also from our audience, which ranged from first-time theatregoers to long-time arts supporters. Their enthusiasm and engagement is why CGTFest can return this year to bring even more exciting stories to life for an expanded audience of Grovites, South Floridians, and for the first time, the youngest of theatre fans for a CGTFest children’s matinee,” said William Hector, Founder and Artistic Director of CGTFest.

This year, CGTFest expands its audience by introducing a Children’s Matinee for the first time, featuring two original plays written by leading Miami dramatists Vanessa Garcia and Brandon Urrutia. Designed to welcome young theatre fans and families into the Festival experience, the productions will incorporate music and puppetry to create an engaging and imaginative experience for children.

History Fort Lauderdale, committed to preserving our collective heritage, promoting historical literacy, and fostering a sense of pride and stewardship for the vibrant tapestry of our region’s history, will present a free book signing with James R. “Bud” Fraser, Sr., author of “Tales from Growing Up in Oakland Park and Fort Lauderdale, Florida,” on Friday, March 6, from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. Fraser will appear at The New River Inn Museum of History (231 SW Second Avenue in Fort Lauderdale). His Broward appearance is part of History Fort Lauderdale’s “Florida Scribes & Stories,” a meet the author series that offers literary and history enthusiasts a chance to speak with local authors, purchase their latest releases and have them signed.

Fraser, a native-born Floridian who graduated from Stranahan High School in 1952, spent his early years along the Atlantic Ocean and coastal South Florida embarking on many unforgettable adventures with friends and family – fishing, swimming, boating, camping and exploring. He watched the region grow from the late 1930s through the early 1950s – from rural, undeveloped land with some family farms to the beginning of the metropolitan area it is today. His family moved to Lake City after he graduated high school.

Through his self-published book, “Tales from Growing Up in Oakland Park and Fort Lauderdale, Florida,” he shares these memorable experiences and offers rare glimpses and insight into local history.

Brian L. Polk, editor and Florida historian writes, “Bud is a wonderful storyteller, and he uses detailed, descriptive writing that will transport you back to a similar time during his youth. Some readers will reminisce; others will be enlightened; and all will be entertained.”

Guests may RSVP to this free author talk and book signing at https://bit.ly/FloridaScribesFraser2026

She has appeared frequently with South Florida Symphony Orchestra, including during its 25th anniversary season, and will also be the featured guest artist at the Symphony’s 2026 gala on January 17.

Her discography includes the solo album Romantic Journey and a 2025 recording of Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 3 with the Czech National Symphony Orchestra, both produced by Luca Rustici for L’n’R Productions/Universal Music. Other recordings include Chopin for iTunes, Scriabin on Pentatone, a live concert with Christopher O’Riley in Montana, and a Walt Disney Concert Hall recording for BCM+D Records.

SFSO’s 28th season of “Juxtapositions” explores beauty in contrasts, where the bold and the sublime intersect, and timeless masterpieces share the stage with today’s most compelling and celebrated musical voices. From Mozart’s vivacious “Haffner” symphony to the sun-drenched skies of Mendelssohn’s “Italian” and the sweeping emotion of Sibelius’ Violin Concerto — performances burst with color and power. Beethoven’s luminous Piano Concerto No. 4 and Dvořák’s Bohemian Eighth deepen the journey, while Rimsky-Korsakov’s Capriccio espagnol whirls with Spanish flair. SFSO is also proud to present upcoming orchestra firsts by contemporary GRAMMY-nominated composers, including the Florida premiere of Had to Be by Haitian American Nathalie Joachim, featuring breakout cellist Seth Parker Woods, and Carlos Simon’s Four Black American Dances.

From sold-out masterworks performances to accompanying today’s musicians such as Natalie Merchant and performing modern musical scores including Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas and Back to the Future, featuring the iconic films screened live with audio and musical accompaniment, South Florida’s largest symphonic orchestra is continuing its journey of excellence inspiring audiences of all ages and musical genres.
