The Frost Art Museum Presents The Green Critics’ Lecture Series with guest speaker
Olga Viso.

The Patricia & Phillip Frost Art Museum’s Steven & Dorothea Green Critics’ Lecture Series welcomes Olga Viso, director of the Walker Art Center, for a lecture on Friday, January 29 at 7:30 pm. This free event will take place at the Wertheim Performing Arts Center at FIU’s Maidique Campus and is open to the public.

Olga Viso began her tenure as director of the Walker Art Center, Minneapolis, in January 2008, after 12 years at the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Smithsonian Institution, the final two years as director. Viso distinguished herself as a curator, scholar, and administrator at the Smithsonian Institution and rose quickly to leadership at the Hirshhorn.

Under her tenure, the Hirshhorn shifted its focus to present a decidedly more contemporary program of international art produced in all media. She organized or co-organized significant exhibitions of leading artists such as Ana Mendieta (2004), Juan Muñoz (2001), and Robert Gober’s highly celebrated installation at the 2001 Venice Biennale, as well as group shows, including Distemper: Dissonant Themes in the Art of the 1990s (1996) and Regarding Beauty: A View of the Late Twentieth Century (1999), which she co-curated with Neal Benezra. Viso currently serves on the advisory board of the Fabric Workshop and Museum in Philadelphia and the Cintas Foundation in New York City, two non-profit organizations that support emerging artists and the production of new art through artist residencies and fellowships.

Since 1981, The Frost Art Museum has enhanced its exhibitions and educational programs with the Steven & Dorothea Green Critics’ Lecture Series, which has introduced numerous art world luminaries to the South Florida community. Internationally renowned artists, museum curators, scholars and critics have spoken on a variety of art topics to audiences of over 800. Past speakers have included: Claes Oldenburg, Philippe de Montebello, Alex Katz, Maya Lin, Terry Gross and Marina Abramovic.

Organic Hip Hop 2009
“Survival Skills 101“
November 20 – 21, 2009

2009 marks the 6th Anniversary of Organic Hip Hop. In numerology, the number 6 symbolizes peace, family and harmony, which are the principles that Organic Hip Hop have been founded upon. In its mission to continue producing events that inspire practical and healthy thinking, eating and living in these troubling economic times, Organic Hip Hop 2009’s theme is “Survival Skills 101,” sponsored by Difference Makers Non-Profit Organization and Urban America Newspaper.
For the past five years the Organic Hip Hop Conference has been a leading voice in advocating healthy living through Hip Hop culture. Birthed in activism, past Organic Hip Hop events featured KRS One, Professor Griff, Queen Afua and Supa Nova Slom, Brother J (of X Clan), Davey D, and Dr. Laila O. Afrika and promoted Hip Hop as a culture and force for local and global change.
Organic Hip Hop 2009 begins on Friday, November 20th at 7 PM in Miami’s historic African Heritage Cultural Arts Center, in the heart of Miami’s Liberty City community highlighted with a key note address by award-winning lecturer/author, martial artist and co-founder of the Hip Hop Chess Federation (HHCF) Adisa Banjoko. In Banjoko’s devotion to youth programs (which are being chopped and sacrificed nationwide) he states, “Despite the school system’s best efforts and intentions… the past generations have suffered from lack of suitable education and essential resources required for a successful life.” He adds, “We recognize that chess, martial arts and hip-hop unify people from multiple cultural, religious and social backgrounds. These black and white squares do not care what color you are or if you are rich or poor. The only thing they ask is that you come with your strategy, your patience and your skills.” Banjoko’s address will center on the importance of developing tactful strategies for the survival of local communities and how important the growth and development of the youth are in community survival. In addition to the keynote address, several Hip Hop pioneers, politicians, media, and community leaders will be honored for their work. The Organic Hip Hop Honorees include Ray Dominguez of the Write Side Poets, DJ Snowhite, DJ Raw, Mecca AKA Grimo, Miami Light Project, Rep. James Bush, Jerry Rushin, Commissioner Dennis Moss and Bro. Rasul Hakim Muhammad of the Overtown Peace Makers Project. Admission for the evening is $12 ($10 with two canned goods). As in past Organic Hip Hop Events, a delectable vegetarian dinner will be included with the admission fee. Proceeds will benefit Difference Makers Non-Profit Educational Programs.
The following morning, on Saturday, November 21 at 10 AM, Organic Hip Hop will host its very first Youth Summit. The summit will be taking place at the landmark Dr. William A. Chapman House, in the parking lot of Overtown’s historic Booker T. Washington Senior High School. The summit will include a free “Chess as Life Strategy” workshop by Adisa Banjoko as well as presentations by community leaders dedicated to educating on practical urban farming and healthy living. This event is sponsored by Difference Makers Non-Profit Organization, The Booker T. Washington Senior High School Chess Club, and Urban America Newspaper.
The conference wraps up Saturday night at the African Heritage Cultural Arts Center at 7 pm with an artist showcase highlighting great talent brewing in South Florida’s vibrant community. Featured in the lineup are legendary poets The Sol Griots, Kimani Kenyata, and The Write Side Poets (of MTV fame). The Sasa African Dance Theatre will dazzle with their moves from the motherland and MCs La Guardia, LOX Tha Rippa, Coppa Stone, Emoni Love, Haiti Blues and Sekajipo will rock the mic (like it should be done.) The Heart Breakerz B-Girl Crew will add their acrobatic element to the extravaganza that is headlined by the female phenom Soulflower. On the turntables will be Brimstone 127. Admission is $7 ($5 with two canned goods). Proceeds will benefit Difference Makers Non-Profit Educational Programs. This is a family friendly event and all are more than welcome.

Miami21 is an urban planning document for the City of Miami. It is supposed to create a greener, more people-friendly City. There is a lot to like about the “big picture” objectives.

The Devil is in the Details, however. The City has an old tradition of making deals that are against the public’s good.
**
It is up to YOU, the resident, to be sure that when they say it is “Your City, Your Plan” that this is true.
People participating makes a HUGE difference in the results. Numbers matter: the more, the better.

About:
Educate Tomorrow, Corp. is an international, nonprofit, certified 501(c)(3) organization. All over the world, poverty denies children, as well as adults, the promises of a better tomorrow. Forgotten by society and social welfare programs, children born into poverty are trapped in a cruel and often violent cycle that frequently continues for generations. Lacking the inspiration, confidence, knowledge, and means to change, entire families are lost to the cycle of hopelessness.

Educate Tomorrow believes that the best way to end the cycle of poverty is through education. Our mission is to make education an attainable goal for the most disadvantaged in our world, so that all may be afforded the possibilities that can be achieved through learning. We strive to reach out to these individuals and provide them inspiration, guidance, and support and lead them on the path of life-long learning.

Educate Tomorrow’s primary mission in the US is to provide one-on-one educational mentors to foster care children that are turning 18 and “aging out” of the system. Since its founding in 2003, Educate Tomorrow has successfully implemented its mentoring programs, education programs and life skills camps across the nation. Additionally, it has reached internationally by continuing to support the work of it’s founders who established one of the first local language primary schools, adult literacy programs and boarding schools in the remote and impoverished village of Kabey Fo in Niger, West Africa.

{It’s interesting that they hold this when most people with jobs cannot go to it. But, if you are in a position to be able to attend, I highly recommend it.}

The Miami-Dade County Department of Cultural Affairs is holding a Town Hall Meeting on Monday, August 3, 2009 at the Miami Science Museum from 2pm to 3:30pm. In attendance will be Adolfo Henriques, Chairman of the Miami-Dade County Cultural Affairs Council; Michael Spring, Director of the Department of Cultural Affairs and Dennis Moss, Chairman of the Miami-Dade County Board of County Commissioners. It should be very informative and give the cultural community a good understanding of EXACTLY what we can expect if the proposed budget becomes implemented.

Using examples from film and music alongside works of fine art, Crow will examine how the self-conscious sensibility of Pop migrated back into entertainment media, altering the environment from which younger artists would take their cues in succeeding decades.

Crow is a contributing editor of Art Forum Magazine and author of The Rise of the Sixties and Modern Art in the Common Culture. Crow serves as the Rosalie Solow Professor of Modern Art History at the Institute of Fine Arts at New York University. He is the recipient of many honors and awards, including the Eric Mitchell Prize for the best first book in the history of art and being named the Durning-Lawrence Lecturer at University College, London.

How Local Residents Can Create Better Parks, Beaches, Blocks and Other Public Spaces “Placemaking” is Focus of Upcoming Imagine Miami Changemaker Conference II

The second in a three-year series, the Imagine Miami Changemaker Conference II on July 18, 2009 focuses on the power of place. Local residents will learn how to create and sustain the public spaces that build community, from community gardens to family-friendly parks and city blocks. Presented by the Human Services Coalition (HSC), the event will be held in downtown Miami at Miami Dade College’s Wolfson Campus, in the Chapman Conference Center, from 9:30 am – 5:30 pm. To pre-register (deadline July 10), residents can go to www.imaginemiami.org or call (305) 576-5001.

“By bringing together more than 200 aspiring, emerging and seasoned community leaders from diverse backgrounds, including participants in HSC’s civic programs,” says Imagine Miami director Corinna Moebius, “we’ll cross-fertilize good ideas and practices and inspire people with real-life examples of how residents are transforming local places. We’ll also help people connect with each other and with specific opportunities.”

Participants will learn to use innovative place-related tools and approaches for advocacy, resident engagement and community development, including community mapping and GIS, asset mapping, and placemaking tools developed by Project for Public Spaces (PPS). PPS (pps.org) has worked in 2,000 communities in 26 countries around the world, helping people turn their public spaces into vital community places, with programs, uses, and people-friendly settings that build local value and serve community needs. Hands-on workshops will be led by Cynthia Nikitin of PPS (pps.org), Dwayne Marsh of PolicyLink (policylink.org), Delia Caderno of Partnership for Community Transformation and Jacqueline Sartan of the University of Miami. In the placemaking workshop, residents will break into groups and use the PPS Place Evaluation tool to evaluate specific sites in downtown Miami.

Conference attendees can win $500 for their local place-based project (like a community garden). Local groups have until July 1 to submit a one-page proposal to create/improve a local public space. During the conference, attendees will vote for one of ten semi-finalist proposals. The three finalists will have five minutes each to pitch their project during the conference, with additional time to answer questions from a panel of judges and conference attendees. Judges include Charles Auslander of The Children’s Trust, Kris Smith of the Funders’ Network for Smart Growth and Livable Communities, Cynthia Nikitin and Corinna Moebius.

Funded by The Children’s Trust and the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, the conference is designed to be family friendly. Eco-educational activities for kids will take place all day, led by Kiki Mutis (Director of the Community Science Workshop at Citizens for a Better South Florida) and environmental educator Sofie Geckler. Near the close of the conference, kids will share their own ideas for better neighborhoods with the rest of the attendees. Parents can bring children 5 and up for no extra cost, and up to 80 parents are eligible for a discounted $5 registration fee if they apply by July 3rd . The regular conference price is $25.

Other conference highlights include a keynote presentation by Cynthia Nikitin, a World Café dialogue on creating family-friendly neighborhoods, hands-on demonstrations of online mapping tools (e.g., policylink.org and the Children’s Trust’s KidsMap), exhibits showcasing local place-related projects, a video Story Booth (courtesy of WPBT’s uvuvideo.org), and a culminating drumming activity led by local artist/activist Lela Lombardo.

Following the conference, participants can continue their connection and collaboration with local changemakers via our “Community Cafes”: neighborhood-based dialogues led by local residents trained in community dialogue techniques. They can also connect via our online civic network (imaginemiami.ning.com), and continue building skills, awareness and connections via HSC’s advocacy and leadership programs and workshops.

About the Changemaker Conference Series
HSC launched its three-year series of Changemaker Conferences (two a year) in response to the success of its 2008 Imagine Miami Summit on Arts, Culture & Civic Engagement, which South Florida residents described as uplifting, connecting, energizing and transformative. The series is part of HSC’s broader strategy to cultivate networks of trust (social capital) and increase residents’ capacity to be catalysts for participatory, community change. They are also an important vehicle for connecting the emerging leaders participating in HSC’s civic programs, including Public Allies Miami-Dade, Parent Leadership Training Institute (PLTI), Advocacy Corps Training (ACT), Neighborhood Leadership Program, Creative Impact and Imagine Miami. Through the civic programs of HSC, single parents, minority youth, immigrants, low-income residents and others have become leaders in their communities.

The conferences build upon each other, and each increases awareness and knowledge of particular techniques, success stories and opportunities. The first conference (April 4, 2009) focused on asset-based approaches (leveraging community strengths); storytelling for social impact; and community dialogue techniques. By 2011, we expect at least 1,000 local residents to become champions for civic engagement and community involvement in South Florida.

A committee of hard-working and dedicated volunteers, interns and contributing HSC staff has been meeting weekly to help Imagine Miami director Corinna Moebius plan the conference. Core volunteers include Sam Van Leer of Urban Paradise Guild, Linda McGlathery of the Garden Project, Harold Silva of Miami Dade College, Roger Horne of Belafonte TACOLCY youth center, Brad Knoefler of the Omni/Park West Redevelopment Association and Luz Agudelo, an HSC Public Ally who works with Little Havana residents. Interns include Alexandra Torres and Julia Atkinson.

In-kind support is provided by Miami Dade College and uVu (www.uvuvideo.org, the community video project of local public TV station WPBT).

About the Human Services Coalition (HSC) and Imagine Miami
Founded in 1995, the Human Services Coalition (HSC) identifies and launches innovative strategies to help people and communities thrive. HSC works through a network of partner organizations, linking people with financial education, healthcare information, public benefits and educational and economic opportunities. HSC’s programs promote economic self- sufficiency, participation in civic life and respect across many divides.

HSC inspires people to get involved and prepares them to step up to leadership roles that lead to long-term community transformation. As we learn to live and work together, we find common purpose and build a more just and inclusive society.

The Imagine Miami (IM) initiative was founded by HSC President and CEO Daniella Levine, and has grown into a “civic network” of local changemakers. IM connects people through the Changemaker conferences and other workshops, its online civic network (imaginemiami.ning.com), and special guides to local resources (see www.imaginemiami.org).

Friends of Jimbo,

The Miami Waterfront Board will consider a new Master Plan for Virginia Key at 6:30 pm Tues. June 9, Miami City Hall, 3500 Pan American Drive, Miami. It includes 11 parking garages.

See the plan at http://www.virginiakeymasterplan.com

See the map:
http://www.virginiakeymasterplan.com/final_conceptual_land.html

The goals for the Master Planning process are to develop a viable waterfront with public open space areas; develop policies for the use of the waterfront; develop and manage the land; and provide for the protection and enhancement of the natural resources with the necessary infrastructure and traffic flow to serve future development within the Marine Stadium Basin properties on the island.

Additionally, the proposed Virginia Key Master Plan should emphasize the opportunities for mixed-use waterfront development, including the redevelopment of the properties along the Marine Stadium Basin, integrate and recommend improvements to the existing Sewage Treatment Plant, integrate and preserve the historic Virginia Key Beach Park, as well as make recommendations for future island wide improvements and the protection of the remaining public beaches, parks and conservation areas.

If you are a startup or self employed you must come to this event! Here is some info about what to expect:

Startup Weekend recruits a highly motivated group of developers, business managers, startup enthusiasts, marketing gurus, graphic artists and more to a 54 hour event that builds communities, companies and projects. Founded in 2007 by Andrew Hyde, the weekend is a concept of a conference focusing on learning by creating. It is known for its quick decisions, ‘out of the box’ thinking (oh no, the buzzwords are attacking!), unique facilitation technique and letting the founders show what they can do.

The participants that attend a Startup Weekend decide what they want to tackle over the weekend and come out at the end with several developed companies or projects. Attendees are responsible for bringing the same desire and passion to the project and walk out of the room with the task at hand, in a short 54 hours. Sound intense? It is.

StartUp Weekend is open to the public.

This is an excellent opportunity to get your hands dirty starting your very own companies!
