Prepare to get a true world-class burger experience at Wynwood’s cozy bar vibe restaurant, Le Chick. This trendy and energetic spot is known for its famous upscale comfort food with a modern twist.

Aside from all their delicious dishes, the burgers are definitely a fan favorite. There’s something about their “Royale with Cheese” (two patties, cheddar, tomato, lettuce, pickles, and house sauce) that leaves everyone craving for more. Feeling more hungry? Try their decadent “Double Dirty burger”, same as the Royale but with bacon and fried egg included.

In celebration of this holiday, Le Chick will be cooking up a limited-edition and one-of-a-kind burger for guests to enjoy. The juicy dish will consist of a smoked gouda cheeseburger on a pretzel bun with garlic aioli and red onion jam.

Whether you enjoy a simple burger with cheese or an extravagant, sinful version, the cheeseburger at Le Chick hits all the right notes. It’s a must-try menu staple and shouldn’t be missed on this national holiday.

7pm | Public Live Virtual Art Talk
8:05pm | Ambassadors Meet the Artist Virtual Reception

George Clinton was born on July 22, 1941, and is an iconic singer, songwriter, bandleader, and record producer. Recording as both Parliament and Funkadelic, Clinton revolutionized popular music during the ’70s and ’80s with an avant-garde style that continues today. His Parliament-Funkadelic collective (which primarily recorded under the distinct band names Parliament and Funkadelic) developed an influential and eclectic form of funk music during the 1970s that drew on science fiction, outlandish fashion, psychedelia, and surreal humor. For over five decades, his unparalleled sound has been cited as the DNA of Hip Hop and Urban Culture.

As a visual artist, Clinton’s body of work is as adventurous and eclectic as his music. Early on he designed the iconic Mothership spaceship for use as a centerpiece stage prop for Parliament-Funkadelic live performances. It is now on permanent display at the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington DC.

Clinton is regarded as one of the foremost innovators of funk music. In 1977, he and Parliament-Funkadelic were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and then, in 2019, were honored with the pinnacle Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award.

Cost: $25-100

The Imagine Miami Luncheon is Catalyst Miami’s annual fundraising luncheon, and one of the most fun events of the year! Typically hosted at a beautiful Miami restaurant with 200 new and old friends, this year’s luncheon will take place during a 1-hour virtual event on Wednesday, September 30, 2020 at 12 p.m. During this fundraising event, Nadege Green will be honored with the 2020 Community Catalyst Award. We’ll also hear a bolero performance by multi-Grammy winning musician, John Daversa, and have a special guest appearance by actor, climate activist, and three-time Oscar nominee Mark Ruffalo.

The 2020 Community Catalyst Award honoree, Nadege Green, is Director of Community Research and Storytelling at the Community Justice Project. She worked as a journalist in Miami for just over 10 years investigating how local government policies and actions—both historical and contemporary—impact everyday people. Her work centers around using analysis, data and narratives from the directly impacted to address housing inequities, climate justice, gun violence and other pressing issues in Miami-Dade County that disproportionately impact black and brown communities. Green believes in the power of teaching community storytelling as a means to educate, problem-solve and heal. She is a frequent lecturer and speaker in academic and community settings around disparities in Miami-Dade, local history and race. Green is a recipient of the Ruth Shack Leadership Award and the Florida ACLU Gene Miller Voice of Freedom Award. She’s also the proud mom of two amazing boys, Noah and Jacob.

Thank you to the following sponsors for all their support in making this year’s event a reality: JPMorgan Chase & Co., Weil, BAC Florida Bank, BankUnited, Northern Trust, Bank of America, Dr. Loretta, Alliance Bernstein, Citi, Mary & Tim Casey, DLF Attorneys, Beach Haus, Charmel Maynard, the Jain & Lagoa Foundation at The Miami Foundation, VITAS Healthcare, Capital One, Crabtree & Auslander, Lalchandani Simon PL, Miami Medical Consultants, Jason & April Pizzo, and PICT (Public Interest Computer & Technology).

El Koubek Center del Miami Dade College y MarGi Happenings, una organización basada en Miami que presenta artes escénicas sin fines de lucro, anunciaron hoy el lanzamiento del Teatro On Screen Fest, Festival Virtual de Teatro Hispano Miami 2020.

Este primer Festival Virtual se transmitirá por la plataforma digital Facebook LIVE en las páginas de @MarGiHappenings y @KoubekCenterMDC como parte de la celebración del mes de la Hispanidad en los Estados Unidos, los días 17, 18 y 19 de septiembre, 2020.

“Todos los géneros artísticos han sido afectados por la pandemia y han tenido que encontrar una alternativa virtual. La idea de un festival virtual de teatro surgió del deseo de explorar los desafíos y oportunidades que la pandemia presenta al teatro”, dijo Melissa Messulam, manager del Koubek Center. “Dada la respuesta que tuvimos a las lecturas dramatizadas, con Marilyn Romero y Gigi González, de MarGi Happenings, quienes cuentan con más de 30 años en el ámbito teatral de Miami, nos dimos cuenta de que aquí había una oportunidad para hacer más. Normalmente cuando pensamos en teatro, no pensamos en tecnología, y esto es algo que se presta a explorar nuevos horizontes”.

Para participar en el Festival, la obra debe tener algún vínculo representativo de la cultura hispana, dentro y fuera de los EE. UU., ya sea el autor, el tema, la adaptación, el idioma, los actores o el director y tendrá un mínimo de dos personajes (cada actor debe actuar por separado en su propio espacio) la duración debe ser de un mínimo de 30 minutos y un máximo de 40 minutos.

El Festival seleccionará 6 obras finalistas para su primera edición y los grupos interesados en participar deben mandar su inscripción y obra grabada antes del 24 de agosto del 2020. Las obras participantes se anunciarán el 7 de septiembre.

¿Extraña ir al teatro? ¡Nosotros también! ¿Prefiere obras contemporáneas o los clásicos? Pues ahora puede disfrutar de todas ellas, y lecturas de textos de grandes autores, desde su sofá favorito. En colaboración con MarGi Happenings, el Koubek Center presenta una lectura dramatizada, inspirada en Pareja Abierta el 21 de agosto a las 7 p.m. EST por FB Live: @KoubekCenterMDC. Todas estas lecturas son en español.

Pareja Abierta, una obra escrita por Dario Fo y Franca Rame, plantea en tono de sátira una crítica a la doble moral que existe alrededor del sexo y el matrimonio. Relata la vida de una pareja liberal con una relación abierta, donde el único que disfruta verdaderamente de esa “libertad” es el hombre. Es una obra llena de gags cómicos y situaciones delirantes, que ayudan a suavizar la trama, pero que muestra, a la vez, la realidad de un mundo que sigue siendo predominantemente machista.

Gracias al apoyo del Departamento de Asuntos Culturales del Condado de Miami-Dade y del Estado de la Florida. Este evento es accesible para todos y no es apto para menores. Si necesita solicitar alguna información, comuníquese con el Koubek Center: 305.237.7750.

Do you miss going to the theater? Us, too! Do you prefer contemporary works or classics? Well, now you can enjoy all of them, and readings of texts by great authors, from your favorite couch. In collaboration with MarGi Happenings, the Koubek Center presents a reading inspired by Pareja Abierta on August 21 at 7 p.m. EST on FB Live: @KoubekCenterMDC. All readings are in Spanish.

Pareja Abierta, by Dario Fo and Franca Rame, is a play that offers a satirical critique to the double standards on sex and marriage. It tells the story of a liberal couple with an open relationship, in which the only one truly enjoying the “freedom” is the man. Full of comical skits and delirious situations that ease addressing the subject matter, the play shows, at the same time, the reality of a world that predominantly remains male-dominated.

Thanks to the support of the Cultural Affairs Department of Miami-Dade County and the State of Florida. This event is accessible to everyone and is not recommended for a young audience. If you need to request any information, please contact the Koubek Center: 305.237.7750.

Registration is open, now, at tinyurl.com/BrowardKettleKrush2020.

The Salvation Army serves over 15,000 Broward County residents, every year, and more than 70% of its funding comes directly from the community – individuals, groups and businesses.

The race is named after The Salvation Army’s iconic Red Kettles which are staffed during the holidays to collect funds for families in need. Last year, The Salvation Army of Broward County raised $213,205 in just five short weeks in November and December. In addition to the Kettle Krush 5K and the holiday Red Kettle program, The Salvation Army of Broward County feeds hundreds of families through its annual free Thanksgiving meal initiative in partnership with The Cheesecake Factory, and distributes over 8,000 gifts to over 2,100 children though its Angel Trees and Holiday Toy Shop.

Registration fees for the third annual Kettle Krush Virtual 5K are $10 for kids (ages 2 – 8), $20 per participant (18 and under) and $25 for registrants (19 and over). Team registration is $20 per person for teams of three or more. The first 100 participants will receive a commemorative t-shirt. T-shirts can be picked-up, in advance, during a special drive-through at The Salvation Army of Broward Area Command, 1445 West Broward Blvd Fort Lauderdale, on Wednesday, September 16 (3 – 7 p.m.), Thursday, September 17 (11 a.m. – 2 p.m.) and Friday, September 18 (4 p.m. – 8 p.m.).
The virtual event will feature a live leader board link updated every two minutes with real-time tabulation of overall, gender and age group categories provided by AccuChipUSA, Inc. and awards will be given to runners within the “top 3” categories and age groups.

During the virtual race time window, The Salvation Army of Broward encourages participants to email selfies, photos or short videos of their personal race with the hashtag #BrowardKettleKrush2020 for consideration to be posted on the organization’s social media sites. Participants can also display their chosen racecourse by uploading maps from the following fitness app trackers: Strava, Garmin, Polar, MapMyRun, RunKeeper, MovesCount, EndoMondo and TomTom Sports (course maps will be publicly viewable).

The Salvation Army of Broward County Virtual Kettle Krush 5K is sponsored by FPL, Fast Printz, Forney Construction, Edd Helms Group, Acme Barricades and Bimbo Bakeries.

Enjoy unique 30-minute musical performances on Facebook Live with Miami-based artists. The one and only José Luis de la Paz stars in this week’s mini-music concert!

An exceptional player and daring composer, Spanish guitarist José Luis de la Paz has proven as comfortable working within the flamenco tradition as reimagining it with electronics or symphony orchestras. Not surprisingly, besides having five records under his name, he has collaborated with top flamenco singers and dancers including Carmen Linares, José Mercé, and Farruquito, but also with sound explorer Gustavo Matamoros, or the LA Philharmonic with Gustavo Dudamel.

This concert will take place this Friday, August 28 at 8 p.m. on Facebook Live: @KoubekCenterMDC.

Intérprete excepcional y audaz compositor, el guitarrista español José Luis de la Paz ha demostrado estar tan cómodo trabajando dentro de la tradición flamenca como re-imaginándola con orquestas sinfónicas o electrónica. No sorprende que, además de tener cinco discos a su nombre, ha colaborado con los mejores cantantes y bailarines del flamenco como Carmen Linares, José Mercé, y Farruquito, pero también con un explorador del sonido como Gustavo Matamoros, y la LA Philharmonic con Gustavo Dudamel.

RSVP / Register
Cost: Free

As the traditional expo moves to a virtual format, shaking hands and handing out samples might be moot, but connecting is more important than ever. With our panel of four industry gurus, we’ll discuss how we’re adapting and optimizing as our already ever-changing industry does a complete 180.

Let’s meet the panel:
Mary Coppola, MBA, has nearly two decades of experience developing and supporting brands as a design and marketing professional. As the vice president of marketing & communications for the United Fresh Produce Association, Mary leads the association’s digital marketing team, responsible for developing resources that allow the industry to advance their own brand marketing strategies through the signature event BrandStorm™ as well as quarterly trends research, webinars and more. In collaboration with her association peers, United Fresh launched United Fresh LIVE!, the global fresh produce industry’s first virtual conference and trade show just nine week after making the decision to pivot from an in-person event.

As a strategic and creative leader, Vanessa Doll helps spearhead growth for CPG clients, big and small. She came to Freshmade by way of LPK in Cincinnati, where she spent 7 years as senior project manager on P&G brands, such as Always, Pampers, and Vicks. She also led client services for Coty Beauty, helping brands like Wella and Clairol and worked on Pringles, Kellogg’s, and Anheuser-Busch. Between her dual master’s degree in Writing Theory and Pedagogy from DePaul University and experiences as a sailboat racer and bar owner, Vanessa brings well-rounded intelligence and determination to everything she does.

Bethany Geris is the digital marketing manager for the United Fresh Produce Association and the virtual platform rockstar of United Fresh LIVE! – the global fresh produce industry’s first virtual conference and trade show. Bethany works to advance the association through her digital marketing expertise. This June, she was responsible for working with more than 200 exhibitors helping them make the technical transition from an in-person event to a virtual show, with much success! With just under 5 years at United Fresh, she has enshrined her status as the go-to digital ace.

Jordan Volpe is the VP of Marketing at OpenWater, a B2B software company helping organizations bring their virtual events to life. After starting off in sales at OpenWater, he was tasked with building out the demand generation and events marketing teams. His main focus now is OpenWater’s overall marketing strategy and partnerships.

About Let’s Make Lemonade:
The American Advertising Federation of Greater Fort Lauderdale and the Palm Beaches launched Let’s Make Lemonade as a call to area businesses to pause, stop reacting and contact their agency partners to make a plan for recovery.

The initiative’s second objective is to better prepare our members and our industry to bounce back from recession by addressing skills and knowledge gaps in new or misunderstood areas of marketing.

History Fort Lauderdale, proud steward of our community’s past by making our heritage accessible and engaging to residents and visitors, will commemorate the 100th anniversary of the ratification of the 19th Amendment (August 18, 1920) with Rightfully Hers, a new pop-up exhibition from the National Archives. Opening on August 3, Rightfully Hers contains simple messages exploring the history of women’s voting rights before and after the 19th amendment, and its impact today. Despite decades of marches, petitions, and public debate to enshrine a woman’s right to vote in the constitution, the 19th Amendment – while an enormous milestone – did not grant voting rights for all. The challenges of its passage reverberate to the ongoing fight for gender equity today. Rightfully Hers will be on display through August 31 in The New River Inn (231 SW Second Avenue).

Rightfully Hers is organized by the National Archives and Records Administration. In celebration of the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment, the National Archives has launched a nationwide initiative and major exhibition that explores the generations-long fight for universal woman suffrage. The exhibition is presented in part by the Women’s Suffrage Centennial Commission and the National Archives Foundation through the generous support of Unilever, Pivotal Ventures, Carl M. Freeman Foundation in honor of Virginia Allen Freeman, AARP, and Denise Gwyn Ferguson.

History Fort Lauderdale is proud to showcase a variety of annual multicultural exhibits highlighting women, African American, Caribbean and Latin artists sharing their views of history. Permanent exhibits include “The Bryans of Fort Lauderdale” which allows guests to experience the story of the City of Fort Lauderdale as told through the pioneer family that shaped its development from an agricultural outpost in 1896 to a bustling city in the 1920s to its current status as a leading Metropolis, “Juliette Lange: A Portrait of a Mezzo Soprano,” a fashion and lifestyle glimpse of the socially prominent Fort Lauderdale resident with a lauded career as a star vocalist of musical comedy, plus “Archaeology of the New River” and a multitude of narratives and photos sharing the history of other founding families of Fort Lauderdale.

In compliance with local and state health guidelines, visitors will be required to wear a mask and practice safe social distancing of six feet apart. Hand sanitizer will be available at the front desk admission point and all surfaces will be thoroughly cleaned multiple times a day. Additionally, guests will be asked to sign-in, daily, for contact tracing.

History Fort Lauderdale admission is $15 for adults; $12 for seniors and $7 for students (through age 22 with a valid student ID). Admission is free for members, military and children ages six and under. Tickets are available online at http://bit.ly/HistoryFortLauderdaleTickets.

MIAMI, Fla. (July 8, 2020) – LogistiCare, the nation’s largest non-emergency medical transportation broker, is once again taking the steps to raise awareness about kidney disease. The Miami Lakes based LogistiCare team will join area residents and longtime event-goers to support the National Kidney Foundation’s (NKF) First Virtual Miami Kidney Walk scheduled for Sunday, July 26, at 9 a.m.

“We are excited about our first Virtual Miami Kidney Walk. This is a great way to connect safely and unite for one cause: to celebrate life and each other,” said Zoe Plasencia, Miami walk director, National Kidney Foundation. “Our kidney patients need us now more than ever. Our NKF programs are all running strong, thanks to the continued support from our South Florida community.”

Participants and volunteers represent every aspect of kidney disease, creating a real sense of hope and encouragement, ultimately providing long-term support for Florida kidney patients and their families. With the annual walk going virtual this year, participants have more flexibility to safely complete the walk, whether they choose to take a walk around their own neighborhood or explore a local park on the day of the walk. Organizers encourage participants to take a selfie or video and share it on social media with the hashtag #KidneyWalkVirtual.

Participants are also encouraged to personalize their kidney walk page by documenting their kidney disease journey or sharing with the organization and community the reasons why they walk. Participants will be able to ask their personal networks to support the cause before the day of the walk.

For more information, please contact Zoe Plasencia at zplasencia@kidneyfla.org or 1-800-927-9659.

Nova Southeastern University’s (NSU) NSU Art Museum Fort Lauderdale and The Consulate-General of Japan in Miami are proud to present Japanese Kaiju Toys and Contemporary Art, an online lecture that will premiere on NSU Art Museum Fort Lauderdale’s YouTube channel on Thursday, July 9 at 6:00 p.m. The lecture is free and open to the public and all those interested in viewing may register at www.nsuartmuseum.org/event.

Hosted by Professor James B. Levy, Professor at Nova Southeastern University Shepard Broad College of Law and a longtime collector of Japanese kaiju toys, this virtual presentation will explore the history and cultural impact of the kaiju – an array of fictional giant monster-like characters that have transcended Japanese culture to become hugely popular among science fiction fans, artists, scholars, and folklore lovers around the globe – in toy form. The lecture will also delve into how these colorful collectibles have changed how many define art and how it is collected.

First depicted during the 1960s and ‘70s in Japanese television shows, these giant monsters were usually shown battling super-heroes trying to save cities from destruction. Their quick rise in popularity prompted Japanese companies to produce an array of soft vinyl monster toys based on their characters. Decades later, these kaiju collectibles were rediscovered by collectors including influential artists, musicians, designers and writers who were attracted by their fanciful, creative designs and wild, psychedelic colors, and are responsible for starting the urban vinyl collector movement, which has been embraced by artists like KAWS, FriendsWithYou, Kenny Scharf, Yoshimoto Nara and Takashi Murakami. Some of these artists are currently being featured in NSU Art Museum Fort Lauderdale’s Happy! exhibition, recently extended through August 30.

Conversations at MOCA: Carl Juste and Leonard Pitts

RSVP / Register
Cost: Free

Reaffirming its commitment to make contemporary art accessible, the Museum of Contemporary Art North Miami (MOCA) is pleased to feature two Miami Herald Pulitzer Prize winners – photojournalist Carl Juste and columnist Leonard Pitts, Jr. – as part of its free, virtual “Conversations at MOCA” series on July 8. The two will be discussing “I am a Man,” Juste’s newly installed public artwork on the MOCA Plaza. Donnamarie Baptiste will serve as moderator of the conversation.

In 2008, while working on a newspaper story with Pitts, Juste captured the image of Memphis sanitation worker Elmore Nickelberry and his son, Terence, with a placard that read, “I Am A Man.” Carried during the Memphis Sanitation Workers’ Strike in 1968, these signs became emblematic of the Black community’s struggles in the United States. Commenting on his portrait of the elder Nickelberry, Juste has said, “I just wanted to capture that dignity that was often deprived him.”

The panel will consist of the following:
• Carl Juste has been a photojournalist for the Miami Herald since 1991. Juste was born into a politically active family in Haiti. After being forced to leave their homeland in 1965 for political reasons, his family eventually settled in Miami’s Haitian community. In addition to photography work for the Miami Herald, Juste cofounded Iris PhotoCollective (IPC). IPC’s members are photojournalists of color who document people of color’s relationship to the world. In 2019, Juste opened the IPC ArtSpace in Little Haiti. He is currently producing a book and exhibit titled, “Havana, Haiti: Two Cultures, One Community,” which consists of photographs and text that explore the bonds between Cuba and Haiti.
• Leonard Pitts was born and raised in Southern California. He was awarded a degree in English from the University of Southern California at the age of 19, having entered school at 15 on a special honors program. Since 1995, he and his wife have lived in Bowie, Md., a suburb of Washington, D.C. Pitts’ work has made him an in-demand lecturer. He maintains a rigorous speaking schedule that has taken him to colleges, civic groups and professional associations all over the country. He has also taught at a number of institutions of higher learning, including Hampton University, Ohio University, the University of Maryland, and Virginia Commonwealth University. In the fall of 2011, he was a visiting professor at Princeton, teaching a course in writing about race.
• Donnamarie Baptiste will serve as moderator of the conversation. Baptiste is a producer, programmer and curator of art and culture who has worked with art fairs, galleries, artists, arts organizations and brands to produce exhibitions, site-responsive events, and experiences that connect audiences nationally and internationally. She has held roles with Photo Miami International Art Fair, Art Basel, Creative Time and The Armory Show. Baptiste is experienced in working with artists of multiple genres including Theaster Gates, Xu Zhen, Robert Longo, The Roots, Wangechi Mutu, Jason and Alicia Mora, and Ebony Bones. She also has worked with brands such as Lexus, Armani, Veuve Clicquot, BMW, LVMH, Cartier, Mercedes-Benz and American Express. Born in Trinidad and Tobago to musician parents, Baptiste has spent most of her life between Florida, New York City and the U.S. Virgin Islands. She studied Humanities in the Caribbean and later moved to Miami and New York City. Currently, she is back in Miami providing arts and culture management consulting to national and international clients while supporting the local art community as a board member of Oolite Arts.
The “I Am A Man” installation is possible through the generous support of the Miami Herald Media Company. MOCA North Miami’s exhibitions and programs are possible through the generous support of the City of North Miami and its mayor and council; the State of Florida; Department of State and its Division of Cultural Affairs and the Florida Council on Arts and Culture; the Miami-Dade County Department of Cultural Affairs and the Cultural Affairs Council; the Miami-Dade County mayor and Board of County Commissioners.

The panel will be free and open to the public via the Zoom video conferencing platform.

Our 30-minute bilingual Picnic de Libros ¡en casa! will take place twice a month through August, will feature story time, mime and circus performances, children’s theatre, music, percussion and arts and crafts demos, and will be live-streamed. Gather your loved ones at home and join us on Facebook Live on Saturday, August 8 at 11 a.m.

With the support of Miami-Dade County Department of Cultural Affairs and the State of Florida Cultural Affairs Division.

Junto a nuestros amigos de la Fundación Cuatrogatos y con el apoyo de la Feria del Libro de Miami, el Koubek Center está re-imaginando nuestros Picnics de Libros como Picnic de Libros ¡en casa!. A través de nuestros Picnics queremos alentar a los más pequeños a que se inventen su propio picnic en casa al mismo tiempo que se unan a nuestro picnic virtual.

Los niños pueden invitar a sus animalitos de peluche favoritos, sacar sus GI Joes, muñecas y juguetes, y traerlos a su manta de picnic. Y además, también pueden invitar a sus mejores amigos a que se conecten al mismo tiempo para poder compartir virtualmente juntos.

Nuestro Picnic de Libros ¡en casa! durará 30 minutos, será bilingüe y tendrá lugar dos veces al mes hasta agosto. Incluirá un momento para cuentos, actuaciones de mimo y de circo, teatro de niños, música, percusión y manualidades. Reúna a sus seres queridos en casa y acompáñenos en Facebook Live el sábado, 8 de agosto a las 11 a.m.

Gracias al apoyo del Departamento de Asuntos Culturales de Miami-Dade County y del Estado de la Florida.
