American Heritage Schools [ahschool.com], the top-ranked PK3 through 12 college preparatory school in Florida, is proud to announce its annual “K-9 Cause: An Evening of Art” auction benefiting the Broward Sheriff’s Foundation’s Retired Canine Relief Fund, on Saturday, April 20.

Everyone loves dogs; however, police dogs, or K-9s, are a special breed. Instead of enjoying the pampered pet lifestyle, K-9s dedicate their entire lives to working daily to protect and serve citizens in our community along with their fearless handlers. They are considered law enforcement officers, whose duties include constant training, apprehending suspects, and searching for explosives, drugs, and missing persons.

When the K-9s retire, their law enforcement handlers graciously adopt them and continue to care for them, as these K-9s have become their friends for life. Recognizing that the medical and healthcare for these K-9s can get quite costly, the Broward Sheriff’s Foundation has established the Retired K-9 Healthcare Fund. This Fund pays for up to 50% of the wellness care costs for all retired K-9s from any local law enforcement agency in Broward County.

Inspired by a little boy’s passion for animals and art, American Heritage Schools is raising money to “fund this fund” by selling artistic renditions of these fine K-9s. Jackson Laurie, a sophomore at American Heritage Schools, and his parents Dr. Douglas Laurie and Nikki Laurie-Van Allen have partnered with the National Art Honor Society and the award-winning Fine Arts faculty at American Heritage to create artwork of these very K-9 being honored.

American Heritage Schools, Broward Campus, will be hosting a Silent Auction for these original works of art, as well as a limited supply of prints for sale at our K-9 Cause event. 100% of all funds raised from this event will benefit the Broward Sheriff Foundation’s Retired K-9 Relief Fund.

Tepper, who is raising two autistic daughters, is a writer, national speaker, and founding member of the organization, Fiancés and Domestic Partners of 9/11. She appeared in the Peabody Award-winning documentary Project Rebirth and is living proof that tragedy can be transformed into triumph. Amy Estrela of Amy & Jacob Paint has witnessed firsthand how art can positively impact the life of an autistic child, as it has done for her son Jacob. VBMWB is also the official closing event of the Spoken Soul Festival, which supports local women artists.
RSVP and advance ticket purchase is required at Spoken Soul Festival website.

The most romantic place to bike in South Florida

Brian and Naomi at the Sea Ranch Center
A little romance at the Sea Ranch Shopping Strip in Sea Ranch Lakes along our bicycle adventure on A1A.

This past Sunday night, my fiancé, Naomi and I embarked on a 65 mile bicycle journey along A1A from Parkland to Coral Gables. The propose of the trip: to see if we could do it.

I will preface this by saying that I’ve made October my personal “No Car, No Facebook Month”, also to see if I could do it (more on this in a future post). Naomi was gracious enough to go along with my scheme to bike the entire east coast of Miami-Dade and Broward Counties. We live in the middle of suburban Coral Gables, and regularly bicycle commute as far as Little Haiti, Wynwood, Downtown and Miami Beach, but by no means, had we been training for a long distance ride like this one.

Argentina Wine Tasting Miami 2013

Last night I attended a wine tasting and reception designed to highlight and promote the wines of Argentina. Consejo Federal De Inversiones, a federal trade organization from Argentina, along with NewLink Communications, hosted 12 wineries for the event held at the St. Regis Hotel in Bal Harbour. After a tough afternoon shopping at Tifffany’s (not), my wife and I walked over from the cheap public parking lot to the venue.

We were welcomed at the door by Teresa Villarreal, the Tourism VP at NewLink. She let us know what we could expect from each of the wineries at this trade show. And she was totally on spot. Many if not most were looking for Importers or Distributors to start or expand their wine presence within the US, Florida being a potential new market.

My wife and I visited each of the wine exhibitors and learned about their product lines while tasting one or two wines from each of them. We had a few favorites which I will mention below, but each winery was engaging with their story and passionate about their wines. And really, there wasn’t a wine I tasted all night that wasn’t really good.

There was plenty of light food as well to balance all the wine. Ham, prosciutto, salami, cheese, risotto, ceviche, veggies and desserts, all very nicely prepared. We stopped by at least a few times in between the tastings. There was also a live band, violinist and all, though they didn’t really play very long. They just seemed to disappear after a few songs. And I didn’t even get to dance!

Apogeo was our first stop and their 2010 Malbec remained one of our favorites throughout the evening. Lightly spicy, smooth, rich, well balanced, great start. We were given a handkerchief with the winery name embroidered on it as a souvenir, a nice touch.

Another favorite was from the Bodega Del Desierto winery, their Desierto Pampa 2009 Malbec. Very spicy, smooth, nice tannins. We were told by the representative that you can purchase these wines online at The Country Vintner.

La Riojana Co-Op had two wines that we liked, one a fair-trade Malbec called Ecologica; however, we decided that we enjoyed the Malbec Reserva a lot more. It was quite fruity with excellent cherry flavors.

The representative from Don Cristobal was very nice and had a lot of great information about their winery. We tried their Triana, a blend of Malbec, Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes. The cherry and spicy flavors along with a touch of oak were delicious!

Other wineries represented were Valcosta Estate, Bodegas La Guarda, Gouguenheim Winery, Muñoz de Toros Wines, Bodega Carelli, Rewen Estate, Mauricio Lorca, and Bodegas San Huberto. If you are in the wine business and looking to work with any of these wineries, don’t hesitate to contact them. They are eager to hear from you.

Thank you to NewLink for the invitation and my buddy Ofelia for making sure I’m on the right lists. And thanks to several of the wineries for sending me home with a parting gift to check out at a later time.

I will close this article with one question… Were the baskets of bread on all the exhibitor tables for decoration or consumption? My wife said the bread at the exhibits was a decoration after I said the piece I had just eaten was hard as a rock, but I still told her that was bullshit. Not sure who was right though. Don’t tell her I said that.

Bal Harbour Launches First "Unscripted" Public Art Program 10/18/12

Bal Harbour Launches First "Unscripted" Public Art Program
BH ARTCHAT save the date V5Thursday, October 18 at 6:30pm
Neiman Marcus
9700 Collins Avenue
Bal Harbour, FL 33154

Bal Harbour is proud to announce a series of upcoming initiatives as well as the release of limited edition items surrounding its new public art program “Unscripted,” curated by Claire Breukel, an independent curator who has worked on projects around the globe.  Studio visits and art chats to events, documentaries and arts education, have all been designed to support the first “Unscripted” art commission, entitled “Pax Americana” by artist George Sánchez-Calderón.
 
On October 18, Sánchez-Calderón’s highly-anticipated installation will be unveiled. “Pax Americana” draws inspiration from Bal Harbour Village’s history, by reflecting upon the iconography that has collectively defined the archetype of “the American Dream.” Pax Americana includes two installations: an “Americana” sign in front of the new St. Regis Bal Harbour where the famous Americana hotel once stood, as well as “Levittown House,” which symbolizes the prototype of post-war America, that forever changed the American urban and suburban landscape. 
 
Following this official launch, Sánchez-Calderón and prolific arts writer Hunter Braithwaite together with Dr. William L. Bird Jr., Curator of the Division of Political History at the Smithsonian National Museum of American History will host an Art Chat open to the public at Neiman Marcus at Bal Harbour Shops to discuss the inspiration behind Pax Americana and the importance of site responsive public art.  
 
Alongside the winning public art commission will be the release of special limited edition items created by the artist based on his two installations.  Exclusive to this project and individually signed and numbered by the artist, the proceeds of these four sculpture editions will help to fund further Unscripted projects as well as the artist. The limited edition items include only 13 “Gold Levittown Houses” made of dipped metal, 50 White and Wood Levittown Houses and 50 miniature Americana signs in a stainless steel shimmering mirrored sign. 
 
In December, all eyes will be on the destination again as guests of Bal Harbour will receive exclusive access to a studio visit with Sánchez-Calderón during the 11th annual Art Basel Miami Beach, one of the premier art shows in the U.S., that brings together artists and art lovers from around the globe.   Unscripted will also be creating a mini-documentary on the artist and the making of the installations that will be shown during Bal Harbour’s annual Movies on the Beach series.
 
Drawing on the importance of art education from an early age, even the little ones can get a VIP art experience through a special art class at The St. Regis Bal Harbour Resort’s Kids Club taught by Sánchez-Calderón later that month.
 
“We are excited about the launch of “Unscripted,” a Bal Harbour creative project to further the arts in South Florida,” said Carolyn Travis, executive director of tourism, Bal Harbour.   “Through Unscripted, we are giving artists a platform to create ambitious projects while also showcasing Bal Harbour as a cultural and arts destination for global visitors.”
 
Created to support and challenge the artistic talents in South Florida, “Unscripted” is the next step in Bal Harbour’s culture series, which has seen past initiatives such as an innovative and successful Bal Harbour Art Nights, which showcased the work of talented artists alongside the high fashion designs of boutiques at Bal Harbour Shops.
 
“Unscripted” is spearheaded by curator Claire Breukel, who has served on various art-related boards and has curated exhibitions in South Africa, New York, Miami, Vienna and El Salvador. To reach the final decision, she consulted with contemporary art and public art experts including Yvonne Force Villareal, President and Co-Founder of the Art Production Fund; Solita Mishaan, a Bal Harbour resident, collector and member of the International Council for TATE London; and celebrated artists Hernan Bas and Hank Willis Thomas.

Annette Recommonds The Spa at One Bal Harbour

I visited The Spa at One Bal Harbour Resort & Spa on Sunday, November 21, 2010.

This is an amazing spa, very beautiful, amazing staff and what a view. First thing I did was get a massage and I have to say it was one of the best massages I have had and was so relaxing. Then, I headed outside to the waterfront terrace and had a glass of champagne while watching the waves crash against the rocks, I did not want to leave.  To top off the day, it was spent with wonderful friends, all hanging out getting massages, pedicures, foot massages, facials and drinking champagne on the terrace.  Thank you so much to The Spa, I will be coming back for more.

Author Lin Arison Talks About New Book 12/15/10 and 1/5/11

Author Lin Arison Talks About New Book, Feast for the Senses, A Musical Odyssey in Umbria
Books & Books Hosts Two Book Readings
Wed., Dec. 15, at 8:00 p.m. at Books & Books, 265 Aragon Avenue, Coral Gables
Wed., Jan. 5, 2011 at 7:30 p.m. at Books & Books, Bal Harbour Shops, 9700 Collins Avenue, Bal Harbour.

Bal Harbour resident Lin Arison presents her latest book, Feast for the Senses, A Musical Odyssey in Umbria, at two different readings this winter. Part memoir, part travelogue, this lushly illustrated multi-media book showcases New World Symphony musicians performing in the most beautiful and rare Italian locations, and features all the sites, foods, crafts and festivals that give the Italian region of Umbria its unique character.

The idea for the book was sparked while sitting inside the Teatro Francesco Torti. Arison, co-founder with Michael Tilson Thomas of the New World Symphony, had a thought: “What would happen if two wonderful elements were brought together: the music of New World Symphony and the landscapes of Umbria?” The result is, indeed, a feast for the senses, as Arison follows her dream and takes readers on an unforgettable journey through Umbria in the company of Michael Tilson Thomas and members of the New World Symphony.

Feast for the Senses was co-written by Diana C. Stoll, with an introduction by Michael Tilson Thomas and original photographs by Neil Folberg.
The book is also about falling in love with two things at once, “a process that was so exhilarating that I knew I had to share it,” Arison writes. “In these pages, we invite you to accompany us on our voyage – and partake in the feast.”

Also included with the book are three remarkable DVDs:
· Keeping Score, Michael Tilson Thomas on Music
· Music al Fresco, a short documentary on the New World Symphony musicians in Umbria
· Michael Tilson Thomas & Frank Gehry: A Dream Constructed, a conversation between MTT and the celebrated architect and designer of the NWS’s new Miami Beach campus and performance space, opening in late January 2011.

Deep Impact Chief Operational Officer and avid racer Michael Rojas will take to the waters off of Sunny Isles Beach on Saturday, June 12, 2010 to defend his Center Console Class championship title in the 3rd annual Bimini Ocean Challenge. Rojas and racing partner Tim Gallagher, aim to maneuver their Deep Impact crafted 360 FS Quad, powered by four 350 horsepower Mercury Racing engines, down the 106-mile stretch of sea to Bimini and back to Haulover Beach Park. Rojas will look to beat the 1 hour 25 minute mark that brought him his first victory in 2009. A repeat win would provide yet another token of merit to his burgeoning Miami-based manufacturing company of high performance power boats, which has experienced a recent revitalization ever since the former magna cum laude finance graduate took over the reigns in 2009 to spearhead the restructuring of the Deep Impact brand.

The Bimini Ocean Challenge is just one portion of the five-day Sunny Isles Beach Offshore Power Boat Challenge, a charitable endeavor which aims to raise funds for the restoration of the now defunct Miami Marine Stadium in Key Biscayne, once the official home of speed boat racing in Miami. The events begin on Thursday, June 11 and culminate on Monday, June 14, 2010. Sole on the Ocean hotel in Sunny Isles Beach will host viewing parties throughout the weekend.

Deep Impact is a Miami-based renowned manufacturer of high-quality, high-performance sport-fishing powerboats that utilizes the factory direct sales method. With a revolutionary double-step hull, high-tech materials, seamless finish and European design, Deep Impact’s boats offer both superior performance and sublime luxury.

Pop and Photography Opening Reception at Opera Gallery 12/29/08

Pop and Photography Opening Reception
Monday, December 29 from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m.

The work of Bert Stern is legendary in American fashion and celebrity portrait photography. See a select group of his classic images along with the eclectic, cutting-edge photographs by emerging international talent that are on exhibit at Opera Gallery from December 29 to January 10th. The show called, “Pop and Photography,” also highlights masters of Pop Art including Warhol, Lichtenstein, Wesselman, Indiana, Ramos and Scharf. Photography has become a central element in the world of contemporary art and now ranks in the auction market at the level previously reserved for paintings, sculpture and drawings. The record-breaking explosion of sales of photographic prints has permanently impacted the art market. Opera Gallery’s collection of richly diverse photographs encompasses world-renowned artists whose works are regarded as classic and iconic, along with the more eclectic, cutting-edge photographs by emerging international talent.
Stern’s best-known work was commissioned by Vogue magazine, titled The Last Sitting. The collection of 2,500 photographs shot over a three day period are of Marilyn Monroe, and ironically, were taken just six weeks before her untimely death. Marilyn Monroe: The Complete Last Sitting was published in its entirety in 1992. Recently the artist recreated these photos with actress Lindsay Lohan posing as Marilyn Monroe. For more information call 305-868-3337 or log on to the gallery’s website.
