Women And Identity
The lives of women are vast and varied, as is their position in the world, which ranges from powerful to oppressed. Women are linked biologically and experientially and yet are unique. World and Eye Arts Center exhibits WOMEN AND IDENTITY through the works of six artists who look at women’s work, roles, position and sexuality. Argentinean born Natasha Duwin, explores the construction of strong female identity without falling into the traps of tradition and expectations. She uses non-traditional materials like metals and organic matter, in the traditionally “feminine” techniques of weaving and embroidery. Storyteller and mid-wife Adele Alexandre explores the history of birthing through objects and narrative.
Ivette Ortiz explores photographic history through collage portraiture and mixed media assemblage. She expresses the personal histories of her subjects creating a visual legacy of family, culture and historical events. Fatos Unsal, born and trained in Istanbul Turkey use s dynamic movement and unusual forced perspective to express the lives and strength of women’s lives. World and Eye’s artists/director Jean Minuchin exhibits sculpture and Performance Artist Randy Hendler displays a choral poem on the theme.
Come to the next Art Walks in FAT Village Arts District in Fort Lauderdale from 7-10 p.m. on February 26th and the exhibit closing on March 26th to see these remarkable works.

South Florida Jazz Concert by Pat Metheny 3/21/11
Pat Metheny Trio Returns to South Florida
March 21, 2011 – 8:00 p.m
Rose & Alfred Miniaci Performing Arts Center
Nova Southeastern University
3100 Ray Ferrero, Jr Blvd
Davie FL 33314
South Florida JAZZ welcomes the most popular and electrifying band in jazz, 17-time Grammy-winning guitar legend PAT METHENY who will appear with his trio in a special performance.
South Florida’s premier modern jazz organization is privileged to feature the PAT METHENY TRIO the first time in its history. Mr. Metheny is at the zenith of modern music. He has an astounding 33 Grammy nominations in 12 categories and 17 awards in 10 of those categories. This concert takes place at the 500-seat Rose & Alfred Miniaci Performing Arts Center on the Nova Southeastern University campus, 3100 Ray Ferrero, Jr Blvd in Davie 33314. Tickets are $75 for VIP seating; $50 ($40 for South Florida JAZZ members) and may be purchased from the Broward Center Box Office by calling 954.462.0222 in Broward County; also toll-free at 877-311-SHOW, as well as online at: southfloridajazz.org, the presenting organization’s official Web site.
PAT METHENY was born in Kansas City, Missouri in 1954 into a musical family. He began on trumpet at age 8, and then switched to guitar at 12. By age 15, he was playing gigs with the best jazz musicians in Kansas City, then left for the University of Miami School of Music where, at age 18, he became the youngest instructor ever. The same was true a year later when he taught at Boston’s esteemed Berklee College of Music. He then burst onto the international jazz scene in 1974 with vibraphone great Gary Burton, displaying his already trademarked style, blending the loose and flexible articulation customarily reserved for horn players with an advanced rhythmic and harmonic sensibility – modern in conception but grounded deeply in the jazz tradition of melody, swing, and the blues. With the release of Bright Size Life (1975), his first as a leader, he reinvented the “traditional†jazz guitar sound for a new generation of players. Throughout his career, Pat has continued to re-define the genre by employing new technology and constantly working to evolve the improvisational and sonic potential of his instrument.
Metheny’s versatility is nearly without peer on any instrument. Over the years, he has performed with artists as diverse as minimalist composer Steve Reich, Ornette Coleman, Herbie Hancock, Milton Nascimento, and David Bowie. His body of work includes compositions for solo guitar, small ensembles, electric and acoustic instruments, large orchestras, and ballet pieces, with settings ranging from modern jazz, rock and classical. “Orchestrion,†a one-man technological tour de force in 2010, dazzled listeners/viewers.
It is one thing to attain popularity as a musician, but it is another to receive the kind of acclaim Metheny has gotten from critics and peers. Over the years Metheny has won countless polls as Best Jazz Guitarist and other awards, including three gold records. He has also has been nominated for 33 Grammy Awards in 12 different categories and has collected an astounding 17 Grammys in 10 categories, including Best Contemporary Jazz Recording, Best Jazz Instrumental Solo, and Best Instrumental Composition. The Pat Metheny Group won an unprecedented seven Grammys for seven consecutive albums.
The Pat Metheny Trio that will perform for South Florida JAZZ features arguably the most exciting and gifted drummer in jazz, Antonio Sanchez, whose polyrhythmic, four-limb independence almost defies description and credulity. Young, talented bassist Ben Williams is a recent winner of the Thelonious Monk Institute competition and joins very fast company with Pat and Antonio. South Florida JAZZ concertgoers saw him recently in Nicholas Payton’s quintet providing a deep, solid groove.
Pat Metheny continues to be one of the brightest stars in the jazz galaxy, dedicating time both to his own projects and to those of emerging artists and established veterans alike, helping them to reach their audiences as well as realizing their own artistic visions.
Funding for this organization is provided in part by the Broward County Board of County Commissioners as recommended by the Broward Cultural Council.

Monday, February 21, 2011
The Coral Springs Museum of Art
2855 Coral Springs Drive
Coral Springs, FL 33065
Please RSVP on Meetup.
The South Florida Artists Association, Broward Cultural Division and the Coral Springs Museum of Art invites artists, gallery owners and creative entrepreneurs to hear author and artist Heather Darcy Bhandari speak on Monday, February 21, 2011, 6:00 – 8:00 p.m.
Bhandari’s presentation will include a lecture/talk – Ten Things Every Artist Should Know (an overview of the author’s book: Art/Work- Everything You Need to Know (and do) As You Pursue Your Art Career); followed by a Question and Answer period and book-signing. The most comprehensive guide of its kind, Art/Work gives artists of every level the tools they need to make it in the very competitive world of art. Unlike other creative professionals, visual artists don’t have agents or managers—they have to do it all themselves. This lecture is an effort to inspire questions and discussion on such topics as business basics, legal precautions, promotional tools, and career decisions such as choosing the right venue to show your work.
Heather Darcy Bhandari is the director of artist relations at Mixed Greens Gallery in New York City, where she has curated more than fifty exhibitions while managing and advising a roster of artists. Her passion and enthusiasm for artists has led her to curate independent shows and sit on the board of NURTUREart, a nonprofit in Brooklyn that gives opportunities to emerging artists and curators. Bhandari is an instructor at Brown University and a member of the New Art Dealer’s Alliance (NADA), the College Art Association, and ArtTable. She majored in visual arts and anthropology at Brown University and received an MFA in painting from Pennsylvania State University.
This event is free, and will also be a great networking opportunity for the local arts community in the Northwest Broward area. Hope to see you there!

Florida Grand Opera opens The Tales of Hoffmann 1/22-2/12/11
Florida Grand Opera opens The Tales of Hoffmann. Get ready for a wild ride!
Jan. 22, 25, 28 & 30 / Feb. 2 & 5, Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts
Feb. 10 & 12, Broward Center for the Performing Arts
Drig! Drig! Drig! (Drink! Drink! Drink!) Welcome to Luther’s Tavern!
Pull up a chair and join a group of rowdy students as Hoffmann engrosses them with three twisted tales of his past loves: OLYMPIA, a sexy mechanical doll, ANTONIA, a doomed singer and GIULIETTA, a high class Venetian courtesan. All three of Hoffmann’s loves will be sung in a tour de force performance by Metropolitan Opera sensation Elizabeth Futral, whom the New York Times calls “vocally splendid!”
Based on the delightfully bizarre stories of famous 19th century German writer E.T.A. Hoffmann, FGO’s production of this popular and beautifully melodic French opera by Jacques Offenbach features wildly imaginative and mind bending costumes, props, sets and staging. Includes the famous duet “Barcarole.”
Watch Video Preview.
Listen to Audio Clips.

The Museum of Art | Fort Lauderdale, Nova Southeastern University, continues its “Art of Wine and Food†tasting series on Jan. 20 with celebrity hosts Paul Castronovo, proprietor of Castronovo Vineyards and co-host of the popular South Florida radio show, the “Paul and Young Ron Show,†and James Beard Award recipient Chef Allen Susser, who owns the renowned Chef Allen’s Seafood Grill in Aventura, Florida, who has joined the Museum of Art in creating a new café.

Montepulciano D’Abruzzo is the first offering from Castronovo Vineyards, located in Abruzzo, Italy and part of the Galasso family’s San Lorenzo winery. An Italian red, the wine has flavors of bilberry, mulberry and plum followed by spicy and rich balsamic tones of vanilla and coffee. It is available through Shaw-Ross Distribution and Southern Wine & Spirits, and at many select restaurants and fine wine shops throughout South Florida.
The event will provide attendees with a social, fun and educational opportunity to learn about delicious wines and foods as well as the chance to enjoy the Museum’s current exhibitions. Castronovo will discuss three wines; Chef Allen will describe the food experience and how the accompanying dishes, artfully prepared using the highest quality food and freshest ingredients, was created and how it pairs with the wine.

In 2009, he modified the restaurant to become Chef Allen’s Seafood Grill, a more accessible, local-friendly restaurant, and continued to garner rave reviews. In 2008, he was named consulting chef for Jade Resort in St. Lucia and for Chef Allen’s 2Go and Burger Bar by Chef Allen at the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood Airport. A longtime chairman of Taste of the Nation/Share Our Strength, Susser has helped raise millions of dollars for South Florida’s less fortunate.

To illustrate the resilience of refugees in cities, their hopes and dreams as they struggle to simply survive, make a living and care for their families, United Nations Higher Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) sent renowned photographer Zalmaï Ahad, to urban settings in Colombia, Malaysia and South Africa. At age 15, Ahad spent three months in his grandmother’s basement hiding from the Soviet army before fleeing to Switzerland, where he was educated and still lives.
Internationally acclaimed photographer Zalmai’s work has been published in several magazines and newspapers, including the New York Times Magazine, Time Magazine, Le Temps, Newsweek and La Republica.
Fort Lauderdale is the only host city for the 50-piece exhibit in South Florida during the limited US tour. Exhibition runs January 10 – 15, 2011.

Vatican Splendors: A Journey through Faith and Art, one of the largest collections of art, documents and historically significant objects from the Vatican to ever tour North America, will be on view at the Museum of Art | Fort Lauderdale, Nova Southeastern University, from Jan. 29-April 24, 2011. Group tickets (for groups of 15 or more) and single tickets are now available for purchase. The renowned exhibition is presented by Holy Cross Hospital, in association with PNC Bank and AutoNation.
Vatican Splendors illustrates the evolution of the Catholic Church and its papacy beginning with Saint Peter, with special emphasis on art and historical objects reflecting significant events and periods relating to Christianity. The exhibition includes more than 200 objects, many of which have never been on public view. It features spectacular paintings by artists such as Giotto and Il Guercino, sculpture by Baroque master Gian Lorenzo Bernini, and unique objects including paintings, mosaics, sculpture, jewels, intricately embroidered silk vestments, uniforms of the Papal Swiss Guard, as well as an elaborately decorated gold and silver reliquary containing bone fragments of Saint Peter and Saint Paul. A highlight of the exhibition is a small stone PietaÌ, a relief carved by Michelangelo late in his career, which is accompanied by documents and personal objects belonging to the Renaissance master.
The objects are presented in the Museum’s galleries and in specially-created environments that enhance the visitor’s understanding of both the historical and artistic significance of each work. Descriptive labels throughout the exhibition are bilingual in both English and Spanish, as is an audio tour, which is available for an additional fee.
The Web site for Vatican Splendors, www.vaticansplendors.com, offers a direct link to ticket purchase, as well as complete information about the exhibition, photographs of objects, downloadable educator guides for schools, gallery layouts, descriptions for the media and information about the lenders.
Irvin Lippman, the Museum’s Executive Director, said, “This exhibition provides residents and visitors to South Florida a singular opportunity to view an enormously important artistic and historic collection that literally opens a window onto the development of Catholic Church, its contributions to the political and cultural life of the western world, and depictions of faith and art.â€
COST:
Single Vatican Splendors tickets, which include general admission to the Museum, are priced at $20 for adults, $17 for seniors, and $13 for children, and are now available.

Since its founding in 1958, the Museum of Art I Fort Lauderdale has served our growing community as a gathering place for friends and neighbors, a lifelong learning center for children and adults, and as a dynamic hub for the cultural life of Broward County. Housed since 1986 in a distinguished modernist building designed by Edward Larrabee Barnes, the Museum is South Florida’s premier destination for quality exhibitions and programs that encompass every facet of civilization’s visual history. During the past five years, more than 1½ million visitors have enjoyed remarkable exhibitions like Cradle of Christianity, Tutankhamun and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs, and American Chronicles: The Art of Norman Rockwell. In 2008, the Museum became part of Nova Southeastern University, the sixth-largest private university in the nation, to form an expanded arts campus that joins the school’s Davie location with the Museum’s downtown Fort Lauderdale address.

Jazz Bassist Christian McBride and Inside Straight South Florida Concert 1/8/11
Exceptional Bassist Christian McBride & Inside Straight in Concert January 8th
Rose & Alfred Miniaci Performing Arts Center
Nova Southeastern University campus
3100 Ray Ferrero, Jr Blvd in Davie 33314
South Florida JAZZ welcomes arguably the most important bass player in jazz, Grammy-winner CHRISTIAN McBRIDE who will appear with his band INSIDE STRAIGHT for the first time in Florida.
South Florida’s premier modern jazz organization is privileged to feature Christian McBride and Inside Straight. Mr. McBride is at the zenith of modern acoustic and electric bassists. Best known as a jazz musician, he also is in tremendous demand in several genres. This concert takes place at the 500-seat Rose & Alfred Miniaci Performing Arts Center on the Nova Southeastern University campus, 3100 Ray Ferrero, Jr Blvd in Davie 33314. Tickets are $40 ($30 for South Florida JAZZ members and $15 for students under age 25 with I.D.) and may be purchased from the Broward Center Box Office by calling 954.462.0222 in Broward County; also toll-free at 877-311-SHOW, as well as online at: southfloridajazz.org, the presenting organization’s official Web site.
Bassist Christian McBride is one of those bigger-than-life artists that just burst onto the music scene seemingly in full bloom. His father and great uncle, both well-known Philadelphia bassists, mentored him early. By his 21st birthday, he was a remarkably mature player and rapidly became everyone’s favorite young acoustic bassist of the 1990s and then the 2000s. Christian’s huge sound and prodigious technique, both with plucked and bowed solos, recall the legendary Ray Brown and particularly Paul Chambers. More importantly, his solos evoke the melodic lines of a horn player. He actually started on electric bass when he was eight and took R&B gigs in high school, but by then he was getting more interested in jazz and playing the acoustic bass.
McBride studied at Juilliard (starting in 1989) and then played briefly in the bands of Bobby Watson, Benny Golson, Roy Hargrove, and Freddie Hubbard. He toured with the Benny Green’s trio, played duets with Ray Brown at the 1994 Monterey Jazz Festival, and recorded his debut as a leader for Verve before touring with his own group in 1995. Beginning with A Family Affair in 1998, McBride began opening up his sound and incorporating more of the pop, funk, and fusion styles he grew up with. This approach continued through such albums as Sci-Fi and Vertical Vision. Having jumped labels from Verve to Warner in the early 2000s, McBride made yet another label change, releasing the more straight-ahead New York Time on Chesky in 2006. In 2009, McBride returned with an equally straight-ahead set of mostly all original tunes, Kind of Brown with this current band, Inside Straight.
He is undoubtedly the most widely recorded and requested bassist in contemporary music. It is not only in the jazz world that Christian McBride has left his mark. An equally adept electric and acoustic bassist, he has recorded with Sting, Queen Latifa, DJ Logic, Diana Krall, and classical vocalist Kathleen Battle. In the last few years, he has become the regular bassist for Pat Metheny and recurrently plays with Chick Corea in Five Peace Band and Chick’s new trio with drummer Brian Blade. Further, he just left the position of Creative Chair for Jazz with the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra, relinquishing it after four years to Herbie Hancock. Christian is co-director of the National Jazz Museum in Harlem. And he is still in his thirties.
Inside Straight is a band composed of five exceptional players. The front line features the superb alto saxophonist Steve Wilson and rising-star vibraphonist Warren Wolf, Jr. The rhythm section is solid with creative pianist Peter Martin, who came to prominence with saxophonist Joshua Redman, and the veteran, hard-swinging drummer and long-time CMcB collaborator, Carl Allen. Chris, of course, drives the band like no bass player since Ray Brown.
Funding for this organization is provided in part by the Broward County Board of County Commissioners as recommended by the Broward Cultural Council.

Live Feed-ing by Jeroen Nelemans Opening Reception 1/13/11
Live Feed-ing by Jeroen Nelemans
Opening Reception: January 13, 2011, 7pm – 9pm
Broward College’s Central Campus Fine Arts
3501 SW Davie Rd., Building 3, Davie, FL.
More info.
Chicago-based artist Jeroen Nelemans’s solo exhibition Live Feed-ing explores how changes in perception and scale can uncover interrelationships between natural and artificial systems. Comprised of a site-specific and a video installation, both works on view measure and evaluate how cyclical progressions coexist in natural and artificial systems, and how new relationships can be formed when intertwined or placed within different contexts.
Animate objects become inanimate and visa versa in the work Live Feed-ing, 2006, as two display cases are placed within a larger display case, one containing a working fish tank and the other featuring a monitor display of live video camera feed footage highlighting a specific zoomed-in view into the neighboring aquatic environment.
The role of space and time within natural and artificial orders is further mined and undermined in Six Feet Above, 2010, (pictured above) in which a large plane of Astroturf, suspended six feet above the ground, bisects the exhibition space. When seen from below, a vast network of roots weaving in and out from underneath this plane is exposed, while the placement of a central opening and a wooden pedestal allow to viewer to perch above this “floating carpet†and discover that actual grass is growing inside.
Gallery hours are Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday from 9am-3pm, Wednesday 2pm-8 pm or by appointment.
For more information please contact Harumi Abe, Gallery Director via phone 954-201-6894 or via email habe@broward.edu.

Fernando Garcia
R. Louisell
Alex Yanes
JAMA-JAMA (José Andrés Matos) was born on August 26,1974 in Guines, Province of Havana, Cuba. He started painting at an early age and has not stopped living for his art ever since. He left Cuba in 2002 for Costa Rica and presently resides in Miami, Florida with his wife and daughter.
ALEX YANES was born in Miami, July 20th 1977. His art is characterized by romanticism, sublime color, content and the deliberate precision of form and line. It is the duality between the conceptual and the graphical that makes his art both inspiring and accessible. Yanes’ art serves as a metaphor for the conflict between reason and imagination and the divided nature of the human spirit.

We want our homeless to know that they are not forgotten and that we love them. We also want to thank all of our donors and volunteers who help us make this wonderful day an awesome celebration for those that otherwise would have nothing or very little for Christmas.â€

Gold Coast Jazz Society presents Shelly Berg Jazz Quartet with Ken Peplowski 12/8/10
Jazz Dynamos Shelly Berg and Ken Peplowski featured in December Jazz Concert by Gold Coast Jazz
Wednesday, December 8, 2010
Broward Center for the Performing Arts.
The Amaturo Theater
201 SW 5th Ave, Fort Lauderdale, Florida
Purchase tickets through the Broward Center Box Office at 954-462-0222 or online at www.goldcoastjazz.org or www.browardcenter.org.
Jazz pianist Shelly Berg has been called one of the finest jazz pianists around today. Ken Peplowski has been compared to the legendary Benny Goodman for his incomparable swinging style on the clarinet. Both jazz dynamos will be featured in the next jazz concert presented by the Gold Coast Jazz Society on Wednesday, December 8, 2010. The show titled, Dynamos of Jazz, features the Shelly Berg Quartet with Ken Peplowski and takes place at the Amaturo Theater at the Broward Center for the Performing Arts. The Amaturo Theater is located at 201 SW 5th Ave, Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The concert begins at 7:45 pm. Single tickets are $35 and $40 and student tickets are $10 with student ID. Purchase tickets through the Broward Center Box Office at 954-462-0222 or online at www.goldcoastjazz.org or www.browardcenter.org. A pre-concert Jazz Riff jazz talk will be given by WXEL radio personality Stu Grant at 7:00pm in the theater before the show.
Dave Brubeck has raved that, “Shelly Berg is a great jazz pianist who has a total command of his instrumentâ€. A pianist, composer, arranger and educator, Berg brings a considerable array of talents to the jazz music scene. Versatility coupled with innate talent has shown to be the keynote of his career. Berg is currently Dean of the University of Miami’s Frost School of Music, but makes time in his busy career to continue performing and touring. He is known for his collaborations with jazz vocalists, and he has performed, recorded, and arranged for Patti Austin, Monica Mancini, Bobby McFerrin, Kurt Elling, Dionne Warwick, Tierney Sutton, Lorraine Feather, and Carmen Bradford. He maintains a busy, worldwide schedule of jazz festival and club performances, and he has performed and/or recorded with a “Who’s Who†of jazz legends, including Ray Brown, Louie Bellson, Eddie Daniels, Peter Erskine, Woody Herman, Clark Terry, and Bill Watrous to name a few.
A prolific composer and orchestrator, his orchestrations have been called “magnificent. . . incredible†by Johnny Mandel. He has orchestrated for Chicago, KISS, Carole King, Richard Marx, Joe Cocker, Elliott Smith, Lou Rawls, Steve Miller, and Ray Sings, Basie Swings (Concord Records’ Ray Charles and Count Basie collaboration). Film orchestration work includes Warner Bros. Almost Heroes and For Your Consideration, Fox’s Men of Honor, and the NBC Mini-series The 60’s. He has also written for the Royal Philharmonic, the American Symphony, and orchestras worldwide.
According to the Jazz Journal International, “Ken Peplowski is one of those fine young Americans who are currently setting so much of the pace in all that’s good in jazz.†The late Mel Torme said “”Since the advent of Benny Goodman, there have been too few clarinetists to fill the void that Goodman left. Ken Peplowski is most certainly one of those few. The man is magic.â€
Peplowski has collaborated with a litany of musicians including Mel Torme, Leon Redbone, Charlie Byrd, Peggy Lee, George Shearing, Madonna, Hank Jones, Dave Frishberg, Rosemary Clooney, Tom Harrell, James Moody, Cedar Walton, Houston Person, Steve Allen, Woody Allen and Erich Kunzel. A past member of the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra, Ken joined the group under the direction of Buddy Morrow. “Buddy heard me with my quartet at a Cleveland jazz festival along with Teddy Wilson’s trio and the Dorsey band, and made an offer right then,†said Ken. When the legendary Benny Goodman came out of retirement and put together a new band, he hired Ken on tenor saxophone. Regarding his years with Goodman’s band, he says, “I think Benny was as great a figure to the clarinet as Louis Armstrong was to the trumpet. He was an extremely tough band leader, but he was as demanding on himself as he was on us. Part of the key to unlocking the enigma of Benny was that he thought about music pretty much 24 hours a day.â€
With numerous recordings to his credit, Peplowski recorded for Concert Records for over a decade. His most recent albums have appeared on the Nagel-Heyer Records label and his 2010 CD Noir Blue is on the Capri Records label.
Tickets are still available for the December 8 performance. The Gold Coast Jazz Society is a not-for-profit organization that is dedicated to the preservation and promotion of jazz music through a mainstage concert series, free community concerts, jazz education programs and other events.

December 17 to 19, 2010
Just in time for holiday vacation, “CATS†the “now and forever†show as it came to be known, the show that revolutionized musical theatre is coming to Broward Center for the Performing Arts for 5 performances December 17 to 19, 2010. Tickets are available at the Broward Center Box Office Monday to Friday 10AM – 5 PM, Saturday and Sunday 12 Noon – 5pm and 1 ½ hours prior to show times; or online at www.broadwayacrossamerica.com; www.browardcenter.org; via phones 954-462-0222 or 800-982-2787. Groups of 15 or more are invited to call 954-626-7814 or 954-462-0222.
Produced by CATS-Eye, LLC, the national tour of CATS is the only production in North America sanctioned by Andrew Lloyd Webber. With original direction by Trevor Nunn and choreography by Gillian Lynne this is the CATS credited with the British invasion of Broadway. The national tour of CATS is closing in on its 30th anniversary, holding its place as the longest continuously touring Broadway musical in history.
On May 11, 1981, CATS opened at the New London Theatre in the West End. Eight years later it celebrated its first important milestone: after 3,358 performances CATS became the longest running musical in the history of British theatre. CATS played its final performance on its 21st birthday, May 11, 2002.
CATS opened on Broadway October 7, 1982 at the Winter Garden Theatre in New York City and continued to live up to its motto “Now and Forever.” On June 19, 1997, CATS became the longest running musical on Broadway. It ended its 18 year run on September 10, 2000 with 7,485 performances. That record was broken by The Phantom of the Opera on January 9, 2006 when Phantom celebrated its 7,486th curtain.
Based on T.S. Eliot’s Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats, and with music by Andrew Lloyd Webber, CATS won seven 1983 Tony Awards including Best Musical, Best Book of a Musical, Best Lighting and Best Costumes.
In October of 1991 CATS became the longest continuously touring show in American theatre history. Five continents, 26 countries, over eight and a half million audience members and almost 30 years later, CATS is still America’s most loved family musical. Celebrating not only its Broadway touring legacy but the birth of the musical spectacular, CATS is still revolutionary and awe inspiring.
Now that it was been seen by millions of audience members worldwide, it is time to celebrate with the whole family the magic, the mystery, the wonder of CATS.
Create a special ‘memory’ one more time.
CATS will begin on Friday, December 17 and run through Sunday, December 19, 2010. Performances are Friday and Saturday evenings at 8:00pm and Sunday evenings at 7:30pm. Matinee performances are Saturday and Sunday at 2:00pm.

In the wake of Cyber Monday and after all the Thanksgiving leftovers Red Bull is preparing to deck the halls, or at least the International Swimming Hall of Fame in Ft. Lauderdale . The world’s best wakeboarders and wakeskaters will descend on the Fort Lauderdale Aquatic Complex this Friday for Red Bull Wake of Fame.
RED BULL WAKE OF FAME HITS THE POOLS
Top Wake Athletes Create Waves at Ft. Lauderdale Aquatic Complex
Red Bull Wake of Fame marks the next generation of wakeboarding and wakeskating as it pushes the boundaries of the sport. At the legendary Ft. Lauderdale Aquatic Complex that is nestled just behind the International Swimming Hall of Fame, there are three pools that typically host world champion swimmers and divers but on Friday, December 3rd it will transform into a “wake park†and become the newest playground for the industry’s top riders.
Set amongst three outdoor pools – training lap pool, competition pool and diving well – each is linked together by features including hand rails, sliders, a quarter pipe and a kicker that are sure to make for some big air tricks. The winch system allows the athletes to use their most creative and dynamic skills along the course, which is inspired by skateboard parks. Each athlete will be judged on execution, difficulty, style, amplitude and overall composition of tricks in their run.
A field of the top international wake athletes has been hand selected to compete in this innovative new format competition.
· Twelve wakeboarders: JD Webb, Adam Errington, Parks Bonifay, Steel Laferty, Ollie Derome, Raphael Derome, Keith Lidberg, Danny Harf, Nico von Lerchenfeld, Kevin Henshaw and Shane Bonifay
· Six wakeskaters: Brian Grubb, Reed Hansen, Ben Horan, Nick Taylor, Andy Pastura and Brandon Thomas

Oscar-nominated actress and singer to perform exclusive set with special guest appearance by Aerosmith’s lead guitarist for Dolphins vs. Bears pre-game concert.
Limited tickets are available to the Dolphins-Bears game on Thursday, November 18th, that includes the pre-game Tailgate concert featuring Juliette Lewis and Joe Perry, on the Land Shark Tailgate Stage at the AT&T Grand Plaza. Fans should visit www.MiamiDolphins.com or call 1-888-FINS-TIX (1-888-346-7849) to purchase tickets.
The Miami Dolphins announced today that Academy Award-nominated Hollywood actress and recording artist, JULIETTE LEWIS, will perform with a special guest appearance by co-founding member, principal co-songwriter, lead guitarist and co-producer of Aerosmith, JOE PERRY, at the Land Shark Tailgate Stage on the AT&T Grand Plaza at Sun Life Stadium on Thursday, November 18th, prior to the Dolphins-Bears game presented by Wachovia. The exclusive pre-game Tailgate concert will begin at 7:00 p.m.
Following the release of two highly acclaimed albums with her band, The Licks, Juliette Lewis released her debut solo album Terra Incognita last fall. Produced by Omar Rodriguez-Lopez, Grammy Award winning leader of Mars Volta, her vocal performances on the album showcase a remarkably dynamic range going from haunting to soulful and roaring. Lewis wrote most of the 11 tracks with long time friend and musician Chris Watson and recorded the album in between both of her and Omar’s tours at the end of 2008. The record was mixed by the legendary Rich Cosey (NIN, Muse, Foo Fighters). After performing a number of songs from her solo album, Juliette will be joined by special guest guitar legend from Aerosmith, Joe Perry, to perform two additional songs together live on-stage.
“I’m looking forward to performing on the Land Shark Tailgate Stage for South Florida’s biggest party,†said Lewis. “Over the years, I’ve traveled around the country and overseas to perform at numerous concert venues and clubs, but rarely do I get to perform for such a major sporting event in front of an audience with such a passion for their home team. I’ve always been a big sports fan, so I’m looking forward to performing at Sun Life Stadium and seeing the Miami Dolphins in action.â€
After spending six years focusing on her music, Juliette Lewis recently made her return to the screen in four major film projects. She is currently receiving rave reviews from critics and audiences alike in “Conviction,†in which she appears alongside Hilary Swank and Sam Rockwell. She also co-stars in director Todd Phillips’ new film, “Due Date,†out this month, with Robert Downey Jr. and Zach Galifianakis. Most recently Lewis appeared in “Whip It,†co-starring Ellen Page, Kristen Wiig and Jimmy Fallon, and “The Switch†with Jennifer Aniston and Jason Bateman.
Having previously attracted artists such as Jimmy Buffett, Carmit Bachar of the Pussycat Dolls, Latin Grammy Award-winning artists Jesse & Joy for Hispanic Heritage Month 2009, American Idol winner, Kris Allen, Michael Jackson’s lead guitarist, Orianthi, 2009 CMA Musician of the Year, Mac McAnally, multi-platinum artists Cheap Trick, Texan rocker, Alejandro Escovedo, legendary rock icon, Bret Michaels, The Darling Stilettos with Matt Sorum and Dave Navarro and Ilo Ferreira with Grammy Award-winning R&B legend Howard Hewett, the Land Shark Tailgate Stage on the AT&T Grand Plaza at Sun Life Stadium has become a much anticipated part of the Dolphins’ home-game experience.
The home game entertainment at Sun Life Stadium is produced by Game Day Entertainment LLC, by executive producer David Saltz.

The concerts will take place on Friday, November 19, at 8:00 pm at Trinity Episcopal Cathedral in Miami; Saturday, November 20 at 8:00 pm at the Wold Performing Arts Center at Lynn University in Boca Raton; and Sunday, November 21 at 4:00 pm at First Presbyterian Church of Pompano Beach.
Tickets are $30 in advance and $35 at the door, and can be purchased at 954.418.6232 or www.MasterChoraleofSouthFlorida.org.
The Creation, written and sung in English, celebrates the creation of the world as described in the Book of Genesis. It was written for four-part chorus and large classical orchestra with soprano, tenor and bass soloists in the role of angels, as well as an incidental alto solo in the finale.
The orchestra often plays alone, notably in the episodes of “tone-painting”: the appearance of the sun, the creation of various beasts, and above all in the overture, the famous depiction of the Chaos before the creation.

Location: Beaches across Florida
Volunteers with questions may contact Kristina DaSilva at 954-233-1293 or kristina@volbrow.org
More Information and Registration Here.
Florida is out to show the world our beaches are as wonderful as ever with a one-day beach walk that covers Florida’s 825 miles of beaches!
On November 6th, 2010 on beaches across the state, Volunteer Broward, along with host sites from every beach county in Florida, is looking for volunteers to walk a designated mile and take a photo to upload to the internet. Each county will tabulate the county’s walked miles and communicate to the Official VISIT FLORIDA Beach Walk Center where a noon press conference will share the success with media. Some areas are hosting special events, and media is being invited to cover the story or participate as walkers.
All beach photos will be displayed in real time on www.VISITFLORIDA.com/beachwalk – where people can vote on their favorite Florida beach mile and be entered to win $5,000 dollars and a Mazda Miata so they can take their own Sunshine State beach tour.
Volunteer Broward invites you to check in at one of our seven city beach sites to walk a mile and snap a photo of yourself at one of Florida’s pristine beaches. Specific check-in locations are being determined at the seven cities below. Register now!
***This is a non-orientation project. If you are new to Volunteer Broward, you will be asked to create a member account to register for the Beach Walk. After activating your member account, you will encounter a screen that will ask you to register for an orientation. Feel free to bypass this screen and return to the homepage where you’ll find the Beach Walk registration link. You can then proceed to register for a beach walk location with no problem.
This project is approved for volunteers with the following restrictions: Allow Pending Members
Impact Areas: Community Enrichment, Children & Youth

Lileth’s Couture Collection Showcase at the Environ Cultural Center 11/6/10
Lileth’s Couture Collection Feature To be Held on Saturday, November 6, 2010, at the Environ Cultural Center in Lauderhill at 7pm.
3800 Environ Blvd, Lauderhill Fl, 33319
The Lauderhill Regional Chamber of Commerce will host an evening of elegance and glamour as they unveil the “Lileth’s Couture Collection†on Saturday, November 6, 2010, at 7pm. The event will be held at the Environ Cultural Center at 3800 Environ Blvd, Lauderhill Fl, 33319. Twenty-five percent of the proceeds will go to the American Cancer Society. With the daring and unique designs of the collection, this show promises to be unpredictable and enticing to the discerning eye of the fashion-forward residents of South Florida.
While some people at the young age of 71 are retiring, designer, Lileth Hogarth is jump-starting her fashion career to the next level. A designer all of her life, this vibrant and passionate woman fashionista has an innate eye for avant-garde fashion. Spend just a few moments with her as she works on her creations and she will have you believing you are in the dreamy city of Paris. Her impressive collection is technically solid, and is a potent mixture of style, couture and avant-garde glamour. Although her signature use of fabrics and colors takes many risks, her designs have become a consistent fashion favorite in the celebrity world of the elite trendsetters.
“Lileth Couture is bold, feminine and highly romantic.The line speaks to a strong, confident and modern woman who is not afraid to show her vunerability and her feminity. Women always like to be dressed in designer clothes and are always looking for exclusive designer clothing for themselves. A woman feels more confident if she is dressed in an extraordinary outfit which makes her look different from the crowd. I believe that our collection offers our clients just that, states Lileth Hogarth.
Hogarth’s use of hard fabrics twinned with soft and whimsical fabrics, is not unique in fashion but the effect is totally hers. Dramatic. She has mastered the art of separates and her clothes can be taken apart in pieces and reassembled to form a completely different look. Hogarth is poised to be a mainstay in the fashion industry.
For ticket information please call Lauderhill Chamber of Commerce at 954.318.6118 or 954.608.9200.

Zach Deputy at Funky Buddha Lounge 11/9/10
Zach Deputy
Tuesday, November 9
10 PM |18+ | $8
Funky Buddha Lounge
2621 North Federal Highway, Boca Raton, FL 33431
561.368.4643 | www.thefunkybuddha.com
Hailing from the South Carolina coast, Zach Deputy’s family roots are in Puerto Rico and St. Croix. Cruzan rhythms and folk songs competed with blues and American roots music for space on the family stereo. Having toured the country in his late teens and early 20’s with a couple of bands that just didn’t inspire him, Deputy followed his muse back to the Atlantic coast, where he began to craft his own approach to music as a solo artist. Deputy embraced the creative freedom of performing alone, but soon realized it also had its limitations. Thus, he began to employ live looping as a means of filling out the sound. Deputy is now a full band unto himself, made possible through simple technology, but delivered by a skill and mastery of technique, made pure through the injection of warm, charming soul. From his base in Hilton Head, Deputy has been performing 250-300 shows a year for the last four years. Zach Deputy is sponsored by Godin Guitars, and plays nothing else. His new album Sunshine is available now at www.zachdeputy.com | www.myspace.com/zachdeputy.
Of all the talented acts BLP has worked with over the last three years, one we’re most excited to bring to South Florida is Zach Deputy, who is taking the Bamboo Stage Tuesday, November 9 at the Funky Buddha Lounge & Brewery. Put simply, there is nothing else out there like Zach Deputy. Truly a one-man band, he is a powerhouse of performance, technical chops and one hell of a charismatic presence. Deputy uses live loops, layering sounds through the magic of technology to create a full band effect. While he’s not the first artist using this technique, Deputy has taken it to the next level. He’s also a playful songwriter, shredder on guitar, soulful voice with a 4+ octave vocal range and can drop freestyle rhymes with the best of them. The Zach Deputy sound is essentially roots rock, but in his case the roots are in soul, calypso and dancehall, underpinned by driving hip-hop, rock steady, Motown and Stax backbeats created with his layered vocal beatboxing. On top of the backbeat, Deputy’s nylon strings pull multiple duties as bass, rhythm and lead guitar. Riding over that, a plethora of sounds — keyboard, steel drums and an entire horn section — come pumping and grinding out of the speakers when he takes the stage. He is a one man dance party, but he can also bring an audience to rapt attention with a heartfelt love ballad.

All South Florida artists are invited to submit artworks to a one-day open-call visual art exhibition at Girls’ Club, at 117 NE 2nd Street, held Saturday, October 16th, 2010, from 5pm to 8pm. All works are accepted and presented to the public for the one day exhibition event. A panel of prominent South Florida arts professionals will informally judge the works in the exhibition on their merits and the public is invited to give personal feedback to the artists via a system of handwritten messages. A fun way to connect artists and art enthusiasts, perhaps inspiring individuals to start their own art collections!
Simultaneously, neighboring artist spaces and galleries will join in and host their own exhibition openings and events. Look for the round purple Fallout signs designating each location.
18 Rabbit Gallery, a contemporary art exhibition space located in the F.A.T. Village Arts District, will open “Altered States”, an exhibition about mind/body relationships, their first in their new space located at 17 NW 5th Street.
1310 Gallery, located in the Sailboat Bend Artists Lofts at 1310 SW 2nd Court, presents “The Myth of Power,†a group exhibit showcasing innovative works by regional artists, juried by artist Lisa Rockford.
The Museum of Art/Fort Lauderdale at 1 E Las Olas Blvd. will be open that evening from 5pm-8pm with free admission.
A free bus will operate from 5pm to 9pm to transport attendees from one event space to the next. Free parking is available at: NW 1st Ave between NE 5th & NE 6th Streets in F.A.T. Village and NE 2nd Avenue across from Girls’ Club.
Art Fallout will be an annual event, and the organizers expect that it will ignite enthusiasm and bring together local artists and exhibition spaces so that they may develop new audiences for their works. Art aficionados will be pleased to discover the hotbed of creativity that is developing in Fort Lauderdale.

Four years into playing the South Florida reggae circuit, The Resolvers have begun evolving on every front. Adding a full horn section and multiple female harmonizers, the new 11-piece outfit captures the essence of the classic big-band reggae sound: natural acoustic percussion, deep bass grooves, worldly drum rhythms, tasty vintage keyboards and bluesy guitar licks accented by timely horn blasts, all while being blended with modern song craftsmanship to create their own familiar yet original take on world music. Rooted by a core of five dedicated musicians including Dean Fishback (veteran keyboardist who has played with Inner Circle, Sugar Minot and Mikey Dread) and front man Ojay Smith (son of Jamaican legend Ernie Smith), The Resolvers are preparing to release a series of “double-sided singles” on disc and vinyl. The numbered limited-edition vinyl will feature art work commissioned specifically for each track, making each album a collector’s item. The Resolvers believe music is a basic human right; much like shelter, food and water, it should be available to all. Actualizing this mentality, each single will also be available as a FREE download on their soon-to-be-launched new website. www.theresolvers.com

That 70’s Party at The Manor Nightclub 10/7/10
“That 70’s Party”
October 7th, 2010, Thursday, 9pm-3am
The Manor Nightclub
2345 Wilton Drive, Wilton Manors, FL, 33305
October 7th, 7:30-11pm, The Manor Complex (2345 Wilton Drive, Fort Lauderdale) will help our World by hosting a Smart Ride fundraiser called “That 70’s Partyâ€. A benefit for the Smart Ride Team 995 where 100% of all the proceeds raised goes to 6 HIV/AIDS charities here in South Florida.
There are not many fundraisers that contribute 100%. This benefit is extraordinary because it is attracting people (Gay and Straight) from all over South Florida for one cause… to combat HIV/AIDS.
On November 19th at 5am, the Smart Ride Team 995 will be bicycling, along with over 1000 other riders and volunteers, 165 miles from Miami to Key West for all the funds that are raised! We want everyone to know that you can come and have a great time, be entertained and, at the same time, help a great cause!
October is Halloween month and for “That 70’s Party†guests are requested to dress in 70’s attire, walk the roped off “Red Carpet†and pose “Academy Award†style for the magazine cameras and enter the 70’s. 70’s Show clips and commercials will be playing on all the video screens! The MANOR Complex will be transformed into the 70’s by VISUAL XS (Vizcaya White Party), donating their services and props to transform the Manor Complex into the 70’s. It’ll be spectacular!
We are proud of the entertainment line-up that has joined our cause. The international and legendary STUDIO 54 and NY SAINT DJ, Robbie Leslie, (www.RobbieLeslie.com) will be transporting our guests “back to where it all began†with intermittent entertainment (STUDIO 54 and NY SAINT style).
Special appearances that night include our life-long friend, HIV activists and supporter, International Gold and Platinum album award winning STYX’s co-founder and bass guitarist, Chuck Panozzo, (www.ChuckPanozzosPlace.com) and (www.STYXworld.com) who will be taking time off from their current “Grand Illusion and Pieces of Eight†tour to perform their triple platinum hit “Come Sail Away†to help raise Smart Ride funds for HIV/AIDS. Also Jennifer Carbonell and Tony Cruz, both of whom have recent numerous hits on the Billboard dance charts will be performing that night.
Our Smart Ride Team 995 consists of 10 members so far. The diversity of our team represents the community, from ages 24 to 54, all bicycling 165 miles from Miami to Key West Nov 19th. Most of our team is doing this for their first time. There are four of us who are veterans. The team so far is Maritza Bedoya who says “I’m 54 but will be a hot Mama of 55 for the rideâ€. Butch Davison, 48. Amber Bishko, 24, of JuiceBlendz. Charlie Reynolds, 36 an accountant. Erich Sissel, 32, a project manager at Citrix. Richard Bryant, 46, at the Sheraton Hotel. Al Magdaleno, 45, Zach Spitzer, 28. Chris Rodriguez, 29, Dan Robichaud, 49, from TROPICS Restaurant.
The community has really pulled together for our team 995. The new owners of the Corner Pub, Shannon and Anthony, recently had a fundraiser and raised $636.00 for HIV/AIDS. They are still selling Jell-O shots for the entire month of Sept for our cause!
JuiceBlendz will be hosting 3 nights of fundraisers, Sept 22, 29, and October 4 from 4pm-9pm. They are giving a whopping 20% of all sales and general admission tickets for “That 70’s Party†will be discounted 50% with a purchase for the three fundraiser nights.
We want everyone to know our Team 995 sponsors and supporters, who have gone to great lengths for our community. MANORS Complex, GeoVax HIV/AIDS vaccines (www.GeoVax.com ) currently in their 2nd human clinical trials approved by the FDA and National Institute of Health (NIH) with a promising AIDS vaccine that is 87% effective (we are on the way to a vaccine!), JuiceBlendz, Regal Transportation, Sheraton Hotel Fort Lauderdale Airport, The Corner Pub, Chic Optique, Island City Fitness, TROPICS Restaurant and The Electric Bicycle Store (guests will be able to bid on electric bicycles at dealer prices for “That 70’s Partyâ€)
We also like to thank the Smart Ride 7 Sponsors. With out them, there wouldn’t be a Smart Ride. (Olive Garden, Rosie’s, Life Way Inc., Starbucks, AMR, and many more!) These organization provide food, water and medical services etc to the riders during the two day trek!
On another note, two members of the team, Al Magdaleno and Rich Bryant, have started a tradition 8 years ago on Christmas Day and are invited. They give out food and gift calling cards to the homeless in our community. This has been a rewarding experience to all that participate and usually brings a tear and a smile at the same time.
Last year, we gave some homeless people the opportunity to call their family to just let them know that they are alive or just have a meal when they didn’t know if they were going to eat. We have purchased these cards at our own expense, but last year The Avenue Project (www.TheAnevueProject.org ) joined us and was so touched that they nominated us this year to receive $5,000.00 in the Pepsi Refresh Project. Out of 10,000 applicants, we are number 97 so far. We have to be in the top ten to get the grant. It’s about voting! We would be so excited to receive the award because we always run out of cards to give.
Last year, there was a homeless girl who had a baby that needed medicine and we ran out of cards but reached in our pockets and helped her. We were personally broke for Christmas but it didn’t matter. Another time, this guy started crying on a beach bench and repeatedly said “God bless you, I didn’t know if I was going to eat tonight for Christmasâ€.
Others couldn’t believe we weren’t with a religious cause and were so thankful. Chuck Panozzo approached a very young kid two years ago that said he didn’t need it, only to be approached later by the same kid in tears saying “Sir, I could really use that, I haven’t eaten in two daysâ€.
Another girl hadn’t called her family in over a year and the guy, who gave her a calling card, in tears, gave her one. He had a similar situation with his nephew who was out on the streets and his family hadn’t heard from him in over a year. He couldn’t help crying as he gave her the calling card and made her promise to call her family.
All are welcome to participate this Christmas and we ask you to please vote at www.refresheverything.com/theavenueproject
Vote! You have to vote everyday for us to get in the top ten!
Together with your help for…
The Smart Ride Team 995 Fundraiser
To combat HIV/AIDS
And The Pepsi Refresh Project
YOU WILL HELP US… HELP THE WORLD!
If you wish to help us give out gift cards this Christmas Day to the homeless, email almagnow@yahoo.com or Richgrunt@aol.com . You can make a difference!

Â One of the test we were told to gun it and when we hit the dirt were told to hit the brakes and make a right turn. Â The first car had the ABS turned off so we could get an idea of what it is like without, could not make the turn just skidded straight forward, but the one with the ABS made the turn, still skidded around the corner but made it…this got your blood pumping, was so much fun.

EXPOSED:The Art Project, a not-for-profit art collaboration of 5 artists, in an effort to raise awareness of many pressing humanitarian issues both nationally and around the globe, is about to “expose” themselves to the public. www.thegallery101.net
EXPOSED has just launched themselves into the public eye with hopes of becoming the next big thing in the art world by helping others with their art. Plans are in the works for major projects around the country to help those less fortunate and bring about awareness of humanitarian issues.
EXPOSED artists Barry Gross, Adela Holmes, Presscott McDonald and Neal Fox will be on hand to explain the idea and goals behind this amazing project of art, awareness & goodwill.
In an effort to raise needed startup funding, we have some amazing GIFTS for you:
1) EXPOSED ARTIST AND CELEBRITY & FASHION PHOTOGRAPHER (Kimora Lee Simmons and Fifty Cent are part of his past work) Presscott McDonald, is offering a mini photo session on the night of the event of yourself or loved one for a charitable donation of $25 to EXPOSED: The Art Project”.

The show opens at a baby shower for Amy, played by Lisa Manuli, the naive 20-something who is about to deliver her first child. Amy gets an earful about motherhood, including the good, the bad and the ugly; the diapers, the dirty laundry and the sleepless nights from her three more experienced girlfriends. Barb, played by Laura Turnbull, is the over-worked, underpaid mother of five. Brooke, played by Margot Moreland, is the lawyer who works too much and doesn’t spend enough time with her kids. And Tasha, played by Kareema Castro, is the single mom who’s struggling to juggle it all.
Motherhood the Musical features 18 original songs written or co-written by Sue Fabisch, the #1 hit songwriter in Nashville, TN, and Billboard Magazine Top 10 Comedy Artist, who also wrote the play. Fabisch wrote the songs to amuse herself as she made her own way through the trials of motherhood. They include “Welcome to Motherhood,†“Mommy, Mommy, Mommy,†“Minivan,†“Costco Queen,†“I Leak,†“Baby Weight Blues,†and the #1 hit “The Kids are Finally Asleep.â€

Grand Opening for Sankofa Experience with Nzingah 7/10/10
Opening Reception-
July 10, 2010 3:00-5:30pm
With Premiere of Sankofa’s Child (Spoken Word Performance by Nzingah)
Artist Talk-
July 24, 2010 3:30-4:30pm
Adinkra Printing Workshop-
July 21, 2010 3:00-6:00pm
July 24, 2010 11:00-2:00pm
We live in a time of progress and rapid change. Consequently, we prefer to define ourselves in terms of where we are going, not where we come from. We have grown disconnected with our ancestors because we believe that they lived in times so different from our own that they are incapable of shedding light on our current experiences. Many of us have grown so indifferent with the past that we have convinced ourselves that history does not matter.
But history does matter. It has been said that he who controls the past controls the future. Our view of history shapes the way we view the present, and therefore it dictates what answers we offer for existing problems. This understanding of the connection between the past, present and future can be found by the Akan people of West Africa in concept they called Sankofa. It literally expresses that, “it is not taboo to go back and fetch what you forgot.” Sankofa teaches us that we should reach back and gather the best of what our past has to teach us, so that we can achieve our full potential as we move forward.
History can be used to propagate hatred and re-cultivate old racial, religious and ethnic tensions; or it can be used to unify people. It was knowledge of this in some older African societies, which encouraged them to put the repository of history into the hands of responsible, trained individuals called griots. The griots is a chronicler of history and the guardian of the knowledge of his people’s ancestry, or genealogy.
The Sankofa Experience will occur at the African American Research Library and Cultural Center from June to July 2010. The Sankofa Project is a fusion of the concept of Sankofa and the work of the griots, in this case, the artist Nzingah is the mediator. In the journey to retrieve that which was forgotten Nzingah has created a series entitled, “Beyond Black: The Proverb Series.†It consists of portraits of people of African descent that the artist connected to specific African Proverbs. An exhibition of the series will occur from June 7 to July 30, 2010 at the gallery at AARLC.
On July 10, 2010, there will be an opening reception during which Nzingah will have a spoken word performance entitled, “Sankofa’s Child†in the library’s auditorium. “Sankofa’s Child,†is a personal and communal journey through the Sankofa process. In addition to the exhibit, there will be a workshop series during the month of July in Adinkra stamping, a printing process of the Ashanti people of Ghana. Participants will create their own personalized Adinkra cloth, in addition to learning some Adinkra symbols that represent popular proverbs and maxims.

Space, Art and Love. What are they and are they connected? Niki Lopez is mounting a visual art exhibition and will attempted to explore the inter-connective relationship of the three.
The exhibition will showcase paintings, photographs and prints that embrace the elements of the theme “Space, Art, Love.†Many of Lopez’s work has ‘extra-terrestrial connotations as it is a subject she seeks understanding about, “It is arrogant for us to believe that out of all the universes and planets of those universes, that man on earth is the only intelligent beingâ€. Each of her pieces explores different theories, tells a story or asks a question, which amongst other things, compel us to explore outside of the ‘box’.
Other artists in this exhibition include Luzalma Gonzalez, Kazilla, Klodi Lemoine, Tabatha Mudra, David I. Muir, Laura Peterson, Michael A. Clark, and Sharon Swift- who will be displaying photography in collaboration with the Broward Center of Performing Arts’ ‘Flamenco in the Sun’.
Hosting the opening night will be poet Renda Writer of WeMerge Talent Magazine and will include performances by Spoken Word poet Jashua Sa-Ra and the cast of Drag It Out. After party music will be spun by DJ One Star.
The month long event will feature different themes each Saturday between July 24 and August 14. These will include fund-raisers, workshops, Erik Proulx’s movie “Lemonade†and guest speaker Jim Shermer of the Broward Cultural Division (check website for more).
Opening night’s refreshments provided by Be Organic and ‘café con leche’ by Underground Coffeehaus.
The exhibition will raise funds for The Cooperative Feeding Program,

It’s Not a Doll, It’s an Action Figure opening at Bear and Bird Gallery 6/19/10
New show opening on Saturday, June 19th
Opening Reception: Saturday, June 19 from 7-10pm
Some of the artists will be in attendance during the opening.
TATE’S Comics, Inc. | 4566 N. University Drive | Lauderhill, FL 33351
It’s Not a Doll, It’s an Action Figure will feature artwork and photography inspired by, or using, action figures. Not to be confused with dolls, the subjects of Bear and Bird Gallery’s latest exhibit are on display doing what they do best: saving, destroying and living lives of high adventure.
Guest curator A. Pants assembled a talented and diverse group of 14 international artists to participate in the show. Pants said, “Each artist was asked to recreate the memory of their favorite action figure and/or explore the fine line between an action figure and a doll.â€
Bear and Bird owner/chief curator Amanda Magnetta-Ottati passed the curatorial torch for this special engagement to artist A. Pants after seeing the concept develop on Pants’ popular blog site, www.nerdsquared.com. The theme is especially appropriate for Bear and Bird Gallery, which sits atop Tate’s Comics, a popular shopping destination for toys, collectables, dolls, and action figures. The timing of the show was well planned, as Magnetta-Ottati delivered her own “doll†— a baby girl — on May 20, 2010.

Nicholas Payton concert
Rose and Alfred Miniaci Performing Arts Center on the Nova Southeastern University campus
3100 Ray Ferrero, Jr Blvd in Davie 33314.
South Florida JAZZ welcomes arguably the most important trumpet player in jazz, Grammy-winner NICHOLAS PAYTON who is making only his third excursion into the area. Mr. Payton performed in 1998 and 2000 for the organization at the Hollywood Jazz Festival.
South Florida’s premier modern jazz organization is privileged to feature Mr. Payton and his band, as they come off a world tour. Payton is among the most influential artists in the modern jazz genre, and maintains his New Orleans feel and authenticity in the modern idiom. This concert takes place at the 500-seat Rose & Alfred Miniaci Performing Arts Center on the Nova Southeastern University campus, 3100 Ray Ferrero, Jr Blvd in Davie 33314. Tickets are $35 ($25 for South Florida JAZZ members and $10 for students of any age with I.D.) and may be purchased from the Broward Center Box Office by calling 954.462.0222 in Broward County; also toll-free at 877-311-SHOW, as well as online at: southfloridajazz.org, the presenting organization’s official Web site.
Since 1994, when Nicholas Payton made his recording debut as a leader with From This Moment, the trumpeter has been lauded as a significant, top-tier voice in jazz. Even though he started out as a “young lion,†heralded as one of the new-generation guardians of the hard bop flame, Mr. Payton consistently committed himself to discovering his voice outside of the strict confines of that rearview mirror approach to the music. It was early on that curve that he performed for South Florida JAZZ in 1998 and again in 2001, dazzling the audiences with his pure tone and soul. With his huge, burnished tone and full command of trumpet history from Satchmo through Freddie Hubbard, Mr. Payton has firmly established himself as one of the premier jazz artists of our time.
While his jazz journey has taken him down many roads – from heritage artist to electric experimenter – the 35-year-old trumpeter has arrived at a new plateau of jazz maturity. “As a musician, as an artist, you’re always trying to zero in on the bull’s-eye as a means of becoming a better version of yourself… The approach and the ideas of my music have become more singular, more cohesive. I had no agenda in terms of a specific genre or style, only to be true to who I am now.â€
Born into a musical family and mentored by Ellis Marsalis at the University of New Orleans, Mr. Payton was well prepared to leap into the jazz fray when he emerged on the New York scene in the 1990s. He impressed Wynton Marsalis and was a regular in the early years of programming at Lincoln Center. Payton put his own spin on New Orleans-associated music. Over the next several years, Payton continued to hone his craft working with Hank Jones, Elvin Jones, and Ray Brown, and collected a Grammy with Doc Cheatham. In 2003 he boldly moved beyond the straight-ahead, mildly shocking the jazz world with his adventurous and exhilarating plugged-in band infused with elements of hip-hop, electronica, and effects-driven trumpeting.
This foray was transitory as he struggled with his role as torchbearer for the mainstream, fairly predictable, and somewhat stale jazz, while striving to carry on the experimentations of Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Weather Report; even incorporating elements of R&B and soul. Mr. Payton says he is, “most solidly in a place where I’m coming to terms with who I am. I’ve weeded out those things that don’t feel right for me. I’m not out to try to impress and I’m not worried that what I play is going to upset some people. I want to write and play music that speaks for me and means something to me, that I feel passionate about.†He has found peace.
Grooves are central to his newest project. Mr. Payton states, “I want that dance element that was there at the roots of jazz. I feel a lot of jazz has gotten away from that legacy.†It is not a common sentiment, but not an invalid one, either.
