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

South Florida Symphony Orchestra (SFSO) continues its 28th spirited Masterworks season of “Juxtapositions” with a new sparkling evening of music led by SFSO’s award-winning music director Sebrina María Alfonso. On Thursday, January 22, at New World Center in Miami Beach (500 17th Street), rhythmic drive meets lyrical beauty in an exhilarating program brimming with wit and brilliance, anchored by the sweeping power of Sibelius’ Symphony No. 2. SFSO fan-favorite Svetlana Smolina also returns for Ravel’s jazzy and spirited Piano Concerto in G major, and Vaughan Williams’ ethereal Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis opens the evocative evening. The concert begins at 7:30 p.m. Enjoy a pre-concert chat with Dr. Alan Mason 30 minutes before the concert, featuring in-depth conversation and insights about the works and composers.
Among her many accolades, pianist Svetlana Smolina has performed with major orchestras and in recitals worldwide, including the New York Philharmonic, Mariinsky Orchestra, St. Petersburg Philharmonic, Orchestre National de France, Salzburg Festival, Hollywood Bowl, Ravinia, White Nights in Saint Petersburg, Maggio Musicale Fiorentino, Moscow Easter Festival, Rotterdam Philharmonic, Hanoi Opera House, London’s Royal Opera Covent Garden, and Rome’s Accademia Santa Cecilia. 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. Her performances have aired on NPR, WQXR, BBC, PBS, RAI, and Kultura TV. Her recording of Stravinsky’s Les Noces with Valery Gergiev received an International Classical Music Award (ICMA).

Smolina has collaborated in chamber music with Ida Haendel, Vadim Repin, Narek Hakhnazaryan, Kian Soltani, Charlie Siem, and others, performing at venues including Koerner Hall (Toronto), Salle Garnier de Monte Carlo, and Teatro Lirico di Cagliari. Recent engagements include tours in China, Peru, Brazil, Japan, Greece, and Spain, and festival appearances at iPalpiti, Classical Tahoe, and Triumph Music Festival.

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.

South Florida Symphony Orchestra (SFSO) will open its 28th Key West Masterworks season with a sparkling evening of music led by SFSO’s award-winning music director and multi-generation Key West Conch native Sebrina María Alfonso. Rhythmic drive meets lyrical beauty in an exhilarating program brimming with wit and brilliance, anchored by the sweeping power of Sibelius’ Symphony No. 2. SFSO fan-favorite Svetlana Smolina also returns for Ravel’s jazzy and spirited Piano Concerto in G major, and Vaughan Williams’ ethereal Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis opens the evocative evening. The concert will take place on Saturday, January 24, at 7:30 p.m., at the Tennessee Williams Theatre at The College of the Florida Keys (5901 College Road).

Among her many accolades, pianist Svetlana Smolina has performed with major orchestras and in recitals worldwide, including the New York Philharmonic, Mariinsky Orchestra, St. Petersburg Philharmonic, Orchestre National de France, Salzburg Festival, Hollywood Bowl, Ravinia, White Nights in Saint Petersburg, Maggio Musicale Fiorentino, Moscow Easter Festival, Rotterdam Philharmonic, Hanoi Opera House, London’s Royal Opera Covent Garden, and Rome’s Accademia Santa Cecilia. 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 in Fort Lauderdale at the Coral Ridge Yacht Club.

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. Her performances have aired on NPR, WQXR, BBC, PBS, RAI, and Kultura TV. Her recording of Stravinsky’s Les Noces with Valery Gergiev received an International Classical Music Award (ICMA).

Smolina has collaborated in chamber music with Ida Haendel, Vadim Repin, Narek Hakhnazaryan, Kian Soltani, Charlie Siem, and others, performing at venues including Koerner Hall (Toronto), Salle Garnier de Monte Carlo, and Teatro Lirico di Cagliari. Recent engagements include tours in China, Peru, Brazil, Japan, Greece, and Spain, and festival appearances at iPalpiti, Classical Tahoe, and Triumph Music Festival.

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. The sweeping emotion of Sibelius’ Violin Concerto performances burst with color and power, Dvořák’s Bohemian Eighth deepen the journey, and 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.

Three Masterworks concerts will be held at the Tennessee Williams Theatre in Key West from January through March 2026.

Tickets are on sale now beginning at $35 (plus ticketing fees). Three-concert packages in Key West start at $92; Flexible ticket packages are also available.

An exclusive VIP behind-the-scenes tour of the venue, a celebrity host and appearances from Florida Panthers alumni players will add to the memorable evening which recognizes individuals and companies who have made significant contributions to the growth of the City of Fort Lauderdale.

All guests to the event honoring South Florida’s back-to-back 2024 & 2025 Stanley Cup Champions will enjoy wine and spirits with culinary delights plus an opportunity to view Florida Panthers memorabilia and other collectibles from the exclusive Wayne Huizenga collection, which was donated to History Fort Lauderdale.

The tour concludes with a glimpse into the sanctum of the Stanley Cup-winning Florida Panthers — their official locker room.

Since taking to the South Florida ice in 1993, the Florida Panthers have established an unmatched legacy of award-winning sportsmanship, economic development, corporate philanthropy and civic responsibility.

Noche de Arte: Full Circle 11/3/25

Noche de Arte: Full Circle
Monday, 11/03/2025-11/24/2025, 06:00 pm-08:00 pm
Gallery 100 at InterContinental Miami Hotel
100 Chopin Plaza,
Miami, Florida, 33131
Website
Cost: Free

This November, Noche de Arte returns to where it all began—with the artists who started it all. Co-founders Jean Blackwell Font and Ignacio “Iggy” Font bring their creative partnership full circle in an intimate exhibition that reveals the origin story of collaboARTive through their individual works.

Full Circle celebrates the journey from two artists sharing a vision to a thriving community of 400 artists and a movement that has touched thousands. Through Jean’s exploration of inherited memory and Iggy’s meditation on transformation and renewal, the exhibition explores the themes that sparked collaboARTive in 2017: connection, accessibility, and the transformative power of creating.

For Jean and Iggy, what they do and say through collaboARTive is integral to the work they make. The organization embodies the same philosophy that drives their art: everyone has value, everyone has meaning.

The Work
Jean Blackwell Font: 15 Generations
Since 2010, Jean has developed her 15 Generations project to connect people of all historical backgrounds to each other and to their origins. Through personal interviews, oral history, photography, collagraphy, collage, and assemblage, this ongoing body of work stretches across oceans to Europe, Latin America, and the Caribbean.

For this exhibition, Jean focuses on epigenetic trauma—the complex emotions and stories embedded within human DNA and passed through generations. Using assemblage, mixed media, printmaking, and collage, she creates an immersive visual experience that is both universal and deeply personal. Her work strengthens the understanding that we are a universal family, connected by bloodlines, language, shared traditions, and dedication to family—traits that bind every living being together.

Ignacio Font: Structures Series
Iggy’s Structures Series offers an accessible entry point into paintings born from human experience—the transformation of trauma into something beautiful that can hang in someone’s living room. Rather than focusing on the emotional weight, the series invites viewers to explore structure: the words that manifest each piece, the imperfect geometric lines that build the foundation, and the materials that carry the work’s deepest meaning.

Manifestations Structure emerged from the romantic notion of manifesting larger space for collaboARTive—space that belongs to the artists, where they can take care of each other and thrive.

Broken Structure gives new life to damaged canvases—sliced, torn, neglected, even partially eaten by rats. Old canvases abandoned by other artists, stiff canvas unused for years, gauze mesh forgotten in storage—materials that have outlived their original purpose become perfect for something new. The work is stopped at the point where it’s ready to be worked on—not complete, but good enough. The broken parts give us our strength and uniqueness.

The Structures Series embodies the same principle that built collaboARTive: making art from things that have been overlooked or neglected, giving value to what others discard, and recognizing that what’s been broken might be exactly what someone needs to thrive. Everyone has value. Everyone has meaning.

The Origin Story
In 2017, Jean and Iggy recognized a critical gap in Miami’s arts ecosystem: emerging and mid-career artists were being priced out of studio spaces and creative opportunities. They envisioned something different—a place where artists could work affordably, connect authentically, and build sustainable creative practices together.

This exhibition brings their journey full circle, celebrating not just where collaboARTive has been, but where it’s going— building Miami’s most welcoming creative community. What they do and say through collaboARTive is integral to the work they make: everyone has value, everyone has meaning.

Visit the Exhibition
When: Every Monday in November, 6–8 PM
Where: Gallery 100, InterContinental Miami, 100 Chopin Plaza, Miami FL 33131
Admission: Free and open to all

Join us for light bites from InterContinental Miami, complimentary postcard collage activities, and the chance to meet Jean and Iggy as they share the story behind the story—the moments, struggles, and triumphs that built collaboARTive into what it is today.

Construction of the Arts Hub was funded by the City of Hollywood through dedicated funding from the 2019 General Obligation Bond that was approved by City voters in a special election. The Pirtle Construction team broke ground on April 30, 2024, and will meet the opening deadline as planned.

As part of the Arts Hub grand opening, residents and visitors can also view The Center’s current exhibitions: Dennis Scholl: A Day of Four Sunsets, Felice Grodin: Where do I go from here? and Brian Reedy: Gothic Pop Prints.

History Fort Lauderdale, proud steward of our community’s past by making our heritage accessible and engaging to residents and visitors, will celebrate the opening of its newest exhibit, “The Growth and History of the Broward County Sheriff’s Office” with a special public preview, free opening reception and book signing on Tuesday, October 14, from 6 p.m. – 8 p.m. This engaging exhibition takes a closer look at the department’s progress over the years, from 1915 to the present, while also highlighting the sometimes-scandalous history that has shaped its story. The exhibit features images and narratives from the department’s origins to the prohibition era, organized crime, gambling and outlaws, to mid-century racial tensions and finally, the expansion, modernization, and professionalism of today.

As part of the festivities, guests are invited to participate in a “Florida Scribes & Stories” free book signing and meet & greet with retired decorated BSO Deputy Sheriff Joe Williams, author of Unearthed. Williams is also a major contributor of artifacts and photographs to the new exhibit.

A complement to the exhibit, Unearthed captures the dark history of Broward County in the 1940s. A tough-as-nails sheriff who did things his way. The New York mobster Meyer Lansky who profited from his friendship with the sheriff’s department. It is a story of a young cop hired to enforce the Florida gambling laws, ultimately leading to his untimely death. A 75-year-old story of his tragic death from a car accident … or was it?

Drinks and light bites will be provided. Guests may RSVP to bit.ly/FloridaScribesWilliams2025.

History Fort Lauderdale is proud to host a variety of engaging multicultural experiences, year-round. It seeks to bring awareness to the community through both traveling exhibits and multiple permanent exhibits including “Women Trailblazers,” “Roots of Resilience: The Journey of Black Broward,” “Fort Lauderdale – the Early Years,” “Fashion & Musical Theatre,” “From Dugouts to Dream Yachts: the story of boatbuilding along the New River,” Seminole Arts & Culture,” “New River Archaeology,” and “Take PRIDE, a retrospective on LGBTQ life in South Florida.” The nonprofit museum also hosts an artists’ collective collaborative space.

Hollywood Art and Culture Center Presents One Exhibition, Three Artists – Dennis Scholl, Felice Grodin and Brian Reedy 10/18/25 – 1/4/26

Hollywood Art and Culture Center Presents One Exhibition, Three Artists – Dennis Scholl, Felice Grodin and Brian Reedy
Saturday, 10/18/2025-01/04/2026, 10:00 am-05:00 pm
Hollywood Art and Culture Center
1650 Harrison St.,
Hollywood, Florida, 33020
Website
Cost: $10 – general admission; $5 – Seniors 65 +, Students 13 -17, Free for Hollywood Art and Culture Center members, children under 12, active US military personnel families and teachers

Hollywood Art and Culture Center, celebrating its 50th anniversary, will feature three new art exhibitions for the fall/winter season. Dennis Scholl: A Day of Four Sunsets and Felice Grodin: Where Do I Go From Here? will be on display from Saturday, October 18, through Sunday, January 4, and Brian Reedy: Gothic Pop Prints will be on display from October 18 through November 2 in the main gallery space. An opening reception will take place on October 18 beginning at 6 p.m.

A Day of Four Sunsets presents a new body of work by Miami-based artist Dennis Scholl, exploring the poetics of space exploration through assemblages of NASA memorabilia. The exhibition takes its title from astronaut John Glenn’s experience of witnessing four sunsets as he orbited Earth in 1962, evoking themes of time, memory, and the sublime vastness of the cosmos. Scholl’s work, rooted in the language of historical artifacts and collective memory, arranges space exploration ephemera into compositions structured by the dodecagon — a recurring motif in his practice that represents cyclical time and cosmic order. Over the past decade, he has meticulously gathered NASA-related materials, including mission patches, declassified documents, photographs, and newspaper clippings, integrating them into intricate assemblages that reframe our understanding of humanity’s relationship with the unknown. Scholl’s work gives us an insight into his keen collector’s eye and his skill at design and storytelling. In Untitled (Viking Orbiter II), photographs of Mars captured using surface imaging are arranged in thoughtful compositions. Visitors will find themselves viewing a piece of history transported back to 1969 with the work Untitled (Man on Moon). This exhibition contains more than 14 works of art that immerse the viewer into the history and collective memory of outer space, the universe, and astronauts. From real space food to sculptures created using space gloves, to viewfinders with images of the universe, this exhibition will fascinate science, history and modern art enthusiasts alike.

Felice Grodin’s architectural training informs her drawings, intricately weaving together elements of imagination, the future, and the past. Where Do I Go From Here? features more than 10 new works, some of which were created during Grodin’s time as a Center 2025 Spring Artist in Residence. With meticulous care and references to ancient civilizations, Grodin renders lines into complex arrangements of circles and curves, creating dynamic three-dimensional forms and exploring the concept of mental boundaries. Her art transports viewers to a psychological realm reminiscent of maps, cities, landscapes, and speculative future worlds. These ink drawings on mylar can sometimes rely on chance, or automatism, liberating not only the creative process, but inviting viewers into the surreal.

Gothic Pop Prints by Miami artist Brian Reedy features more than 10 custom linoleum block prints. The Center commissioned Reedy to create a work about Lizzie Borden inspired by Lizzie the Musical, which will be performed Oct. 18 – Nov. 1 at the Hollywood Central Performing Arts Center. In addition to the Lizzie Borden print, the exhibition features the macabre and spooky iconography of hauntings, oddities, and the afterlife in an expressionist and graphic style. Reedy’s woodblock prints combine his eye for graphic design, the skill of European medieval woodcuts and Japanese woodblock prints into modern pop culture masterpieces. Reedy creates modern works of art using the painstaking process of block printing, the craft of hand carving wood blocks to transfer ink to paper. Brian’s expertise in this art form has provided a unique combination of traditional print making with pop-culture iconography and themes.

A guided tour of the exhibition will take place on Thursday, December 4, at 7 p.m. An artist talk will take place on Saturday, December 13, at 1 p.m. On Saturdays, November 15 and December 20, at 6 p.m., a free curator tour/Downtown Hollywood Art Walk will be conducted.

These exhibits were made possible through support from the City of Hollywood, Broward County Cultural Division, Broward County Board of County Commissioners, Max Chira and Family, State of Florida Division of Arts and Culture, National Endowment for the Arts, Community Foundation Broward, David and Francie Horvitz Family Foundation, Josephine S. Leiser Foundation, Memorial Healthcare System, The Windhover Foundation & Quadracci Family, Kofsky Weinger, PA, and Helen Ingham Foundation.
