Today in addition to being Eleazarâ€™s personal art studio, we host local talents and leaders who need a professional environment to showcase, educate, and enrich the community at large.

How might we design more participatory creative moments in Miami? Join us for a community conversation and brainstorm.

Miamiâ€™s art community is growing and changing every day, helping to build a more vibrant and expressive city. Yet for many of us, our experience with that community is mostly one-way interactions, as audience or viewer or supporter. Participatory art invites people to join in the process of creating a workâ€”whether itâ€™s painting, performance or experimentâ€”and can transform peopleâ€™s ideas of art and their relationship with the local artistic community.

Join the Arts and Business Council of Miami and WhereBy.Us for an evening of inspiration and community creativity as we brainstorm ideas for building participatory artistic experiences in our city. Weâ€™ll hear lightning talks from local artists, innovators and creators, and then break into small groups to create new ideas we might build together. The most promising ideas will be eligible for small funding that can help make them happen.

Food, drink and live music will be on hand. Food and drink begin at 6pm; speakers start at 6:30; our brainstorm starts at 7:15. Anyone and everyone is welcome.

We look forward to seeing you!

GO GO MOAD! Pop Up Kids Programs at MDC Museum of Art + Design, Creative Kids Project: Andy Warhol

Kids ages 6-12 are invited to tour The Influencers II exhibition and learn about the elements of art by painting, drawing and sculpting in the style of renowned artists in the exhibition. Parents and visitors are encouraged to stay and create a special project with their children based on the legendary artist Andy Warhol.

Renowned artist Andy Warhol was born Andrew Warhola in the working-class neighborhood of Oakland in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. At an early age, he was afflicted with a rare neurological disorder which pushed him to take comfort in a world of his own within celebrity magazines and DC comic books. As a young adult, he experimented with several invented adaptations of his own identity. In this exploration, he decided to drop the â€œaâ€ from his last name upon moving to New York.

Warhol graduated with a degree in Pictorial Design from the Carnegie Institute of Technology in 1949. New York proved to be a successful move for Warhol as he found abundant work as a commercial artist. He worked with posh companies such as Columbia Records, Glamour Magazine, Harperâ€™s Bazaar, NBC, Tiffany & Co., and Vogue. Warhol established his career as a praised graphic artist then shifted his focus to painting and drawing. Warholâ€™s paintings and prints grew to incorporate the techniques he developed as a commercial illustrator. In 1956, The Museum of Modern Art included him in his first group show.

It was the work he produced in the 1960â€™s and early 1970â€™s that solidified Warhol as a national icon. Becoming the symbol for the movement Pop Art, Warhol is best known for his iconic paintings of Campbellâ€™s soup cans, Coca Cola bottles, and portraits of Marilyn Monroe.

â€œArchivoâ€ is a hilarious compilation of short videos that reinterprets notorious incidents in Puerto Rican popular history. Beatriz Santiago MuÃ±oz employs friends and non-actors in reenactments of some memorable incidents that happened on the island, such as the shooting of the legendary outlaw ToÃ±o Bicicleta. Drawing from subjective memories and the acts of ordinary people, this early work captures the ironies and contradictions of a collective and popular history in Puerto Rico.

â€œMemories of Underdevelopmentâ€ tells the story of Sergio, a wealthy bourgeois aspiring writer who decides to stay in Cuba, even though his wife and friends flee to Miami. Sergio considers the political changes on the island as he juggles two girlfriends. This is a complex character study of alienation during the turmoil of intense social and political changes experienced in Cuba in the 1960s. Memories of Underdevelopment is narrated from a highly subjective point of view in which the main character tells the story in fragments, resembling the way memory functions.

â€œBIMâ€ is a movie that portrays the complex relationship between blacks, Indians and whites in Trinidad and Tobago prior to the independence movement of 1962. It focuses on the life of Bheem â€œBimâ€ Singh, an Indian boy living in Trinidad, who is sent to live with his aunt after his father, a trade union leader for sugar-cane workers, is shot to death during a wedding. At his new school, Bim is isolated and picked on by the black students because of his “coolie” (Indian) heritage. As tension builds during his very first day he stabs one of the students as a means of defense. This incident gets Bim kicked out of school and his aunt’s home and he is forced to live a life of violence and crime to survive, but then rises to prominence as a trade union representative for the Indian sugar-cane workers.

GO GO MOAD! Pop Up Kids Programs at MDC Museum of Art + Design, Creative Kids Project: Andy Warhol

Kids ages 6-12 are invited to tour The Influencers II exhibition and learn about the elements of art by painting, drawing and sculpting in the style of renowned artists in the exhibition. Parents and visitors are encouraged to stay and create a special project with their children based on the legendary artist Andy Warhol.

Renowned artist Andy Warhol was born Andrew Warhola in the working-class neighborhood of Oakland in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. At an early age, he was afflicted with a rare neurological disorder which pushed him to take comfort in a world of his own within celebrity magazines and DC comic books. As a young adult, he experimented with several invented adaptations of his own identity. In this exploration, he decided to drop the â€œaâ€ from his last name upon moving to New York.

Warhol graduated with a degree in Pictorial Design from the Carnegie Institute of Technology in 1949. New York proved to be a successful move for Warhol as he found abundant work as a commercial artist. He worked with posh companies such as Columbia Records, Glamour Magazine, Harperâ€™s Bazaar, NBC, Tiffany & Co., and Vogue. Warhol established his career as a praised graphic artist then shifted his focus to painting and drawing. Warholâ€™s paintings and prints grew to incorporate the techniques he developed as a commercial illustrator. In 1956, The Museum of Modern Art included him in his first group show.

It was the work he produced in the 1960â€™s and early 1970â€™s that solidified Warhol as a national icon. Becoming the symbol for the movement Pop Art, Warhol is best known for his iconic paintings of Campbellâ€™s soup cans, Coca Cola bottles, and portraits of Marilyn Monroe.

Miami, FL 33136
Free and open to the public

‘Dad, what is a financial crisis?’ Without trying to be funny, I said, ‘it’s something that happens every five to seven years.’
â–ª Jamie Dimon, CEO, JPMorgan Chase

Itâ€™s time to smash our concept of debt…and dance!!! The Financial Meltdown begins with Cannonball Artist-in-Resident Cassie Thornton leading an open public forum about the effects of debt on the unconscious, its ability to cross class divides, and its terrifying social impacts.

Audience members will join Thornton in conversation with selected professionals working within the realm of finance and who, over the course of Thornton’s one-month residency, participated in “Debt Visualizationsâ€â€”a hypnotherapeutic process facilitated by Thornton to imagine a physical form of debt. The discussion will reveal a collective experience of debt as a psychological, emotional, and intellectual force that affects all of us, regardless of class or income.

Following the public discussion, guests will release their debt-related frustrations by pummeling large-scale piÃ±atasâ€”a tree, a thorny rose, a cloud, a menacing monolith, etc.â€”that embody ideas and feelings of personal debt. The ensueing relief will result in a Financial Meltdown (a.k.a. dance party).

About Miami Spice
The Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau organizes Miami Spice, a mouthwatering restaurant promotion that showcases the best of Miami cuisine. During August and September, restaurants offer three-course meals featuring signature dishes created by world-renowned chefs. Itâ€™s a tropical fusion of ingredients that makes Miami an epicurean paradise.

About Share Our Strength
Share Our Strength began in the basement of a row house on Capitol Hill in 1984, in response to the â€˜84-â€˜85 famine in Ethiopia. Brother and sister Bill and Debbie Shore started the organization with the belief that everyone has a strength to share in the global fight against hunger and poverty, and that in these shared strengths lie sustainable solutions. Today we focus these strengths on making No Kid Hungry a reality in America. Weâ€™re ending childhood hunger by connecting kids to effective nutrition programs like school breakfast and summer meals. This work is accomplished through the No Kid Hungry network, made up of private citizens, government officials, business leaders, and others providing innovative hunger solutions in their communities. These partners work together, implementing solutions that break down the barriers that keep kids from healthy food. Through its Cooking Matters program, the No Kid Hungry campaign educates and empowers low-income families to stretch their food budgets so their kids get healthy meals at home. Cooking Matters participants learn to shop strategically, use nutrition information to make healthier food choices, and cook delicious, affordable meals. The No Kid Hungry campaign works to shine a national spotlight on the crisis of childhood hunger in America, creating a powerful movement of individuals committed to bold action. We build partnerships that enlist influential individuals in the cause and advocate policy changes needed to achieve our goals.

Showcasing the talents of an accomplished editorial staff recruited from across the nation, the paper â€” which includes a web edition that draws a half-million readers per week â€” New Times has established a reputation for compelling stories ignored or overlooked by major media, for insightful coverage of local arts and entertainment, and for unflinching exposure of Miamiâ€™s steamy political life.

While enjoying Miamiâ€™s skyline, and public transit system, the goal of TrepTransit is to promote a free-wheeling exchange of ideas, discussion, and knowledge. This first goal is to allow companies to ask questions about current issues they are facing, and get meaningful answers from experienced operators. Itâ€™s like having your own Board of Directors, but instead of the board room, in the MetroMover.

The second goal is to share knowledge from a variety of subjects that are relevant to business regardless of stage. With the goal of skills sharing, an expert on a relevant subject or vertical market will share his/her knowledge. The ultimate goal of this exchange is to allow participants to consider new ideas, encourage discussion, and adoption of best practices, especially as it applies to entrepreneurs (Treps).

Join us for TrepTransit II as we ’embark’ on a mobile journey in support of all things entrepreneurs, business practices and startups.

The first in Orchestra Miamiâ€™s Discover Miami Through Music Series

Miamiâ€™s Scottish Rite Temple: Youâ€™ve driven by it a million times passing through downtown, marveled at its lovely & exotic Art Deco exterior, but have you actually been inside? Finally, hereâ€™s your opportunity with Orchestra Miamiâ€™s inaugural concert of the Discover Miami Through Music series, a series of concerts in Miamiâ€™s most interesting and historic landmarks.

The inaugural concert, entitled â€œMasonic Mozartâ€ is an all-Mozart concert inside Miami’s iconic Scottish Rite Temple. One of history’s most celebrated Masons, Mozart wrote numerous pieces for Masonic Ritual, for his Masonic brothers or based on Masonic symbols. “Masonic Mozart” is your opportunity to hear some of this great music performed in the setting for which it was intended.

The program features Orchestra Miamiâ€™s principal clarinetist Richard Hancock in Mozartâ€™s Concerto for Clarinet, K. 622 and special guest Dr. Tony BouttÃ© as the tenor soloist in Die Mauerfreude, a cantata for tenor and orchestra. The concert opens with the gorgeous Overture to Die ZauberflÃ¶te (the â€œMasonicâ€opera) and closes with Mozart’s greatest symphonic achievement, the “Jupiter” Symphony N. 41, K. 551 in C Major. The 39 musicians from Orchestra Miami will be led by Artistic Director Elaine Rinaldi. Following the concert, Miamiâ€™s acclaimed historian Dr. Paul George will talk about the Scottish Rite building and the historic Lummus Park neighborhood.

LEAVE A LEGACYÂ© will honor Miami Dade College President Eduardo PadrÃ³n with the Community Champion Award at the 16th Annual Donor Next Door Luncheon.

LEAVE A LEGACYÂ© established the Community Champion Award to honor individuals who contribute to the non-profit community and have shown a great commitment to Miami-Dade County through their activism to help the communityâ€™s most vulnerable.

PadrÃ³n, who was named one of the top 10 college presidents in the United States by Time Magazine, is known for revolutionizing the role of a community college by raising academic standards, offering four-year degrees and a competitive honors program. Today Miami Dade College has more than 170,000 students and graduates more minorities than any other college in the country.

At the Donor Next Door luncheon, City Year Miami Executive Director Said Ishoof will receive the Ruth Shack Leadership Award, which is given to an emerging leader who represents the qualities of ethics, dedication and service embodied by The Miami Foundationâ€™s former president. City Year Miami currently works with students in 17 public schools â€“ elementary, middle and senior high – in Miami-Dade County.

â€œAt City Year, we want to challenge the culture of philanthropy in Miami,â€ said Isoof, who has been leading the organization since spring 2009. â€œWe need their support to double our impact and play a bigger role in the lives of more students in Miami-Dade County Public Schools.â€

The Donor Next Door Luncheon will also honor leading patrons for their philanthropy to 31 charities.

The Center for Literature and Theatre at Miami Dade College (MDC), in collaboration with Books & Books, will host New York Times bestselling author Michael Pollan.

For the past 25 years, Pollan has been writing about the places where nature and culture intersect. In Cooked, Pollan explores the previously uncharted territory of his own kitchen. He discovers the enduring power of the four classical elements â€“ fire, water, air, and earth â€“ to transform the stuff of nature into delicious things to eat and drink. Apprenticing himself to a succession of culinary masters, Pollan learns how to grill with fire, cook with liquid, bake bread, and ferment everything from cheese to beer. In the course of his journey, he discovers that the cook occupies a special place in the world, standing squarely between nature and culture. Both realms are transformed by cooking, and so, in the process, is the cook.

To receive a voucher (admission for one) to attend the event, purchase a copy of Cooked ($17 + tax) at Books & Books in Coral Gables, Miami Beach or Bal Harbour Shops. Attendees must show voucher and receipt to enter the event. For more information, contact Books & Books Coral Gables at 305-442-4408, or visit www.booksandbooks.com.

Cost: Free with museum admission

Artist Naomi Fisher whose photograph in the permanent collection is on view in â€œAMERICANA: Desiring Landscapeâ€ speaks briefly about the role of the natural world in her imagery and introduces â€œBlack Narcissusâ€ (1947), a film of her choice which reflects similar ideas in the exhibition.

â€œBlack Narcissusâ€ (1947)
United Kingdom. Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger. 101 minutes
This academy award winning Powell and Pressburger classic is set in a community of nuns struggling to establish a convent high in the Himalayas. Their spiritual aims are hampered by the arrival of a beautiful native girl and a young general, while isolation, extreme weather, altitude, and culture clashes all conspire to drive the well-intentioned missionaries mad. Winner of two Oscars for Best Art Direction and Best Cinematography.

The â€œDesiring Landscapeâ€ gallery considers how representations of the landscape have been a means to explore human desires-from the sensual and sexual to the materialistic-to alternate interpretations of history. In correlation to the film, a brief, free public tour of â€œDesiring Landscapeâ€ and â€œEdouard Duval-CarriÃ©: Imagined Landscapesâ€ will also be offered at 6:30pm.

Free with museum admission. Seating begins at 6:30pm. Introduction and film screening begins at 7pm.

Wednesday, May 7, 1 p.m.
Stephen P. Clark Center
111 NW First St., 2nd Floor Commission Chambers
Miami, FL
Information: Office of Community Advocacy, 305-375-5730

Tensions between Hispanics and blacks and the way it could affect international commerce will be addressed during a joint meeting between the Miami-Dade County Black Affairs Advisory Board and Hispanic Affairs Advisory Board.

Residents are invited to participate in a village dialogue called â€œA Civil Discourse on Cultural Diversity, Race and Inclusion,â€ on Wednesday, May 7, from 1-4 p.m. in the Stephen P. Clark Center, 111 NW First St., Second Floor Commission Chambers. A panel of Miami-Dade-based professionals and prominent community advocates will engage on controversial topics, a statement announcing the meeting said.

â€œThe ethnic and racial differences in Miami-Dade County have periodically created intergroup tensions. In a community like ours, being a global center and international hub with a direct impact on regional and international commerce, it is important that these issues be addressed. We believe that this discussion will allow residents the opportunity to address longstanding and divisive issues, discuss their feelings and clear up misunderstandings. We believe that every group brings something to the table and that it is necessary to acknowledge our differences and work toward capitalizing on our diversity while encouraging inclusiveness,â€ said Stephen Hunter Johnson, Black Affairs Advisory Board Chair.

The Black Affairs Advisory Board and the Hispanic Affairs Advisory Board are housed in the Office of Community Advocacy and are charged with the responsibility of identifying issues of concern and making recommendations to the Miami-Dade Board of Commissioners as they relate to understanding and resolving issues affecting their County-wide constituency.

This year, Aqua Girl will host its first ever â€œaquaSOUNDSâ€ fundraising concert to benefit Aqua Foundationâ€™s LGBTQ Youth Homelessness Initiative. The concert will take place at Grand Central on Saturday, May 17th, just before the infamous Temptation dance party.

All bands featured in the concert are from South Florida and are connected to the local LGBTQ community. The local bands will warm up the crowd for headliner Beverly McClellan of NBC’s â€œThe Voiceâ€ who will perform as the closing act. A soulful rock singer with honest lyrics and a raw sound, McClellan plays more than 10 instruments and has already released five independent albums since her appearance on the hit show.

The Aqua LGBTQ Youth Homelessness Initiative funds crucial services for the homeless LGBTQ youth population in Miami-Dade County. As much as 40% of the homeless youth population in Miami-Dade is LGBTQ. This means that compared to the general population, the LGBTQ community is vastly over-represented among the homeless youth population.

â€œAquaSOUNDSâ€ is made possible through the generous support of Perennial Strategy Group and BB&T.

WHO
Beverly McClellan
Rock â€˜nâ€™ roll is built on a foundation of great vocalists, and Beverly McClellan is quickly becoming its newest cornerstone. NBC-TVâ€™s â€œThe Voiceâ€ introduced her to the world as a singer of stunning power and range with the presence and ability to draw comparisons to Etta James, Janis Joplin, Bonnie Raitt and Melissa Etheridge, to name just a few of the great torchbearers whose legacies she evokes.

Jess Domain
Jess Domainâ€™s original music has been heard on more than 30 TV shows, including The Katie Couric Show, Law & Order, Damages & Melrose Place. Her soulful voice & upbeat pop melodies are paired with honest lyrics that always find their way home.

Emily Sheila
A Miami native, Emily Sheila sprouts musical flowers that dance all the way to the Sun creating flowing folky vibes throughout the nation.

A Girl Named Chuck
Armed with a rich voice and acoustic structure, A Girl Named Chuck has got the melodic ease that few have. Originally part of the folk scene in South Florida; the Miami Herald dubbed her a â€œLocal Legend at age 17.â€

Paul Bellantoni
The sounds of Paul Bellantoni can best be described as an eclectic mix of blues and folk with a tribal twist. Utilizing his poetic lyrics to convey his life through verse in an unapologetic manner.

Elisa Seda
Previously of Urban Rebel, Elisa Seda is a member of Pandia, a band who was named the official cover band of 93 Rock and headlined the 2nd Annual Rock and Brew Festival at the Hard Rock in October.

Es Oh
A local musician, Es Oh is a queer singer/songwriter and violinist with a soulful sound.

DJ Zehno
Realizing her passion for music at a young age, Stephanie Arzeno decided to switch career paths from being a pre-law student, to a full time music DJ. With all her diversity and knowledge of music, DJ Zehno is on her way to becoming one of the most renowned DJâ€™s in Miami.

The theme of the gala is â€œan evening among the starsâ€, which pays tribute to the CIS of Miami students (stars) who have successfully graduated high school since the organizationâ€™s inception.

The event takes place in a ballroom at the Epic Hotel overlooking downtown Miamiâ€™s skyline and Biscayne Bay. The evening starts with a sunset cocktail hour at 6:30 p.m. where guests can bid on luxury, silent auction items including all-inclusive vacation packages; bowling and lunch for 10 with Al Golden, University of Miamiâ€™s head football coach; jewelry; dinners; spa treatments and more. Guests will enjoy a three-course dinner followed by live music and entertainment by CIS of Miami â€œstarsâ€.

Local CBS TV evening anchor and producer Cynthia Demos will preside as the master of ceremonies alongside a CIS of Miami junior MC. They will welcome CIS national founder, Bill Milliken, a recipient of the Visionary Ambassadorâ€™s Award from Usherâ€™s â€œNew Look Foundationâ€ and the National Jefferson Award for Public Service, which is widely regarded as the Nobel Prize for outstanding community and public service.

Tickets for the annual philanthropic event are $200 each, and all proceeds directly benefit CIS of Miami. In 2013, CISâ€™ gala raised more than $100,000 to fund dropout prevention programs for local students including after school programs, tutoring, mentoring and other programs. Tickets can be purchased online at www.cismiami.org or by calling 305-252-5444.

Event sponsors include Bacardi, Carnival Corporation, Florida Power & Light, Greenberg Traurig, Lehman Auto World.

Miami Record Store Days 1975-2000 at Grand Central 4/19/14

The event is open to all ages.

Records stores may continue to dwindle in number and vinyl may be going the way of polar ice caps, but that cannot stop the growing international phenomenon that is Record Store Day. This year, the wax aficionado holiday lands on April 19th and one of Miamiâ€™s top live music venues Grand Central will host an event to honor Miamiâ€™s great music mom and pop shops and chains past, as well as some of the more prominent acts to emerge from the area, including Nuclear Valdez, Charlie Pickett, Jim Camacho of The Goods and Forget the Name â€“ all for a great cause.

â€œItâ€™s ironic that as the number of records stores continues to fall, Record Store Day continues to gain more momentum,â€ says event co-organizer and music business mainstay Alex Jimenez. â€œIâ€™m excited not only about continuing the legacy established by notable record stores like Peaches Music, Specs Music, Q Records, Yesterday & Today Records, Open Books & Records, Blue Note Records and others, but to help raise awareness and funds for Parkinsonâ€™s disease and research.â€

Jimenez was in part inspired by former Peaches executive and colleague Alan Jackowitzâ€™s diagnosis and subsequent struggle with Parkinsonâ€™s.

Nuclear Valdez rose to regional and national acclaim in the late 80â€™s with the release of I Am I on Epic and the radio and MTV hit â€œSummer.â€ Axe man Charlie Pickettâ€™s band The Eggs were hailed by Rolling Stoneâ€™s David Fricke as a â€œbrawling-roots mix of Johnny Thunders, Sun Records and trailer park Lou Reedâ€ and by R.E.M.â€™s Peter Buckas â€œone of the undiscovered giants of the late eighties.â€

Singer / songwriter / playwright Jim Camacho first came to regional and national prominence with The Goods, who were signed to Polygram Records and were featured in the music doc Tom Dowd and the Language of Music. Forget the Name enjoyed a nine-year run during the late 80s and early 90s, developed a strong following in Miami, toured the east coast and released three full-length albums of material.

There will be a special music photography digital expo curated by yet another music insider, photographer and Dig Under Rock blog head Tony Landa. The works of Jill Khan, Mindy Hertzon, Karen Widen, Laura Kokus andTeajay Smith will be shown throughout the event.

A record collector’s “swap meet” will kick off the event with top dealers offering highly prized collectibles. “This sort of blows up the concept of the Saturday morning swap meet at an area hotel conference room bringing it into an environment that really suits it well,” states Jimenez. Interested record dealers please email alejim@aent.com to reserve your table now.

VeritageMiami
Wednesday, April 9, with a Craft Beer Tasting at Wynwood Walls
Thursday, April 10, Fine Wine Tasting at the Village of Merrick Park
Friday, April 11, Interactive Dinner at the InterContinental Miami
Saturday, April 12, Auction & Wine Dinner on the diamond at Marlins Park
www.veritagemiami.com

VeritageMiami brings together more than 4,000 wine and food lovers for four days of culinary indulgence. Since its inception, VeritageMiami has raised more than $12 million for the community. All proceeds support United Way of Miami Dadeâ€™s work in education, financial stability and health.

VeritageMiami is proud to announce its presenting sponsor City National Bank and that five of Miamiâ€™s most talented chefs will headline its signature Interactive Dinner on April 11, at the InterContinental Miami. Considered one of the yearâ€™s most unique culinary experiences, guests will team up and cook a five-course meal under the tutelage of the distinguished chefs, recently deemed Miamiâ€™s culinary â€œNew Guardâ€ by INDULGE Magazine: Alberto Cabrera of Bread + Butter, Todd Erickson of HaVen South Beach, JosÃ© MendÃn of The Pubbelly Restaurant Group, Giorgio Rapicavoli of Eating House and CÃ©sar Zapata of The Federal Food, Drink & Provisions. The chefs will bring their unique flavors and backgrounds as they guide guests in preparing the different courses, with Johnson & Wales culinary students serving as sous chefs and sommeliers. All proceeds benefit United Way of Miami-Dade.

â€œCity National Bank is committed to giving back to the communities we serve, and United Way â€“ because of its sustainable impact in the areas of education, healthy and financial stability â€“ is the centerpiece of our efforts,â€ City National Bank President and CEO Jorge Gonzalez said. â€œAs a community bank it is also great to support a festival that celebrates South Floridaâ€™s burgeoning food scene and these talented young chefs who have been hailed as the cityâ€™s new culinary guard.â€

Alberto Cabrera is the executive chef of Bread + Butter in Coral Gables, where the Miami native embraces his Cuban-American roots â€“ taking traditional dishes and revamping them by adding a modern spin, such as his Chicharron De Puerco with a truffle-black bean puree. Cabrera learned the art of cooking as he moved up the ranks at notable kitchens including Robbin Haasâ€™ Chispa and the Miami extension of Madridâ€™s La Broche. At Bread + Butter, Cabrera infuses the carefree charm of Cuba’s mambo era with the modish slant of the modern American gastropub.
Todd Erickson is the executive chef of HaVen South Beach on Lincoln Road, a futuristic electric lounge offering innovative cocktails and some of the most refined food in the city. At HaVen, Erickson takes local, organic ingredients and transforms them into a variety of global small plates from crudos to duck sliders. Erickson got his culinary start at the prestigious Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, New York, and from there went on to open a catering company and three four-star restaurants in Dallas, Texas. After having such a successful start with HaVen, Erickson and the Haven Hospitality Group opened Huahuaâ€™s Taqueria just down the street. Erickson has also announced HaVen will be expanding this spring to include a full dinner menu.

JosÃ© MendÃn is the director of culinary operations for The Pubbelly Restaurant Group, the team who many Miami foodies credit for the local chef movement. MendÃn, a graduate of Johnson & Wales University, worked for many well-known restaurants including Nobu and Sushi Samba, before opening Pubbelly Gastropub in Miami Beach with his Pubbelly Group partners Andreas Schreiner and Sergio Navarro. Since then, the Pubbelly Group has experienced incredible success and has expanded to include four more restaurants â€“ PB Steak, Pubbelly Sushi, Barceloneta and the newest, Lâ€™Echon Brasserie. In 2012 and again this year, MendÃn was distinguished as a James Beard Award semifinalist for Best Chef South, and most recently won Miami Cochon 555, a regional all-out pork cooking frenzy, and will compete in the Grand Cochon competition this summer.

Giorgio Rapicavoli is the executive chef of Eating House, the innovative pop-up restaurant turned Coral Gables mainstay. Rapicavoli burst onto the Miami food scene when he became the first Miami chef to win Food Networkâ€™s â€œChoppedâ€ television competition. After winning the competition and $10,000 prize, Rapicavoli and business partner Alex Cassanova opened the Eating House pop-up. The venture was so successful that Eating House eventually opened as a full-time establishment at its original location in Coral Gables. In 2013, Rapicavoli was distinguished as a James Beard Award Rising Star chef semifinalist. Rapicavoli is also nominated for Culinary Innovator in this yearâ€™s ZESTtm Awards at Johnson & Wales University.

CÃ©sar Zapata is known as the â€œStove Master and Pig Whispererâ€ of The Federal Food, Drink & Provisions. Before opening The Federal, Zapata changed the way South Floridians thought about food by opening Miamiâ€™s first pop-up restaurant, Phuc Yea!, in 2011. After its widespread success, Zapata and his business partner/wife Aniece Meinhold opened The Federal on Biscayne Boulevard. Since opening, The Federal has received praise from major publications such as Food & Wine Magazine and USA Today. As their next venture, Zapata and Meinhold are in the process of relaunching â€œPhuc Yea!â€ in a permanent location.

As of March 4, VeritageMiami sponsors include: Presenting sponsor City National Bank at the Gran Cru level; American Airlines and Marlins Park at the Vintner level; Bacardi USA, Bank of America, Carnival Foundation, Celebrity Cruises, Global Resources Registry, Greenberg Traurig and Village of Merrick Park at the Cellar Master level; BB&T, CBIZ, Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau, Johnson & Wales University, Ryder System and World of Wine Guide at the Cooper level; Baptist Health South Florida, Cisco Systems, Deloitte Services, Ernst & Young, The Fairholme Foundation, Image Photo Services, Insight Direct USA, InterContinental Miami, LNR Property, Nestle Waters North America, Noven Pharmaceuticals, Northern Trust Corporation, World Fuel Services and Wynwood Walls at the Sommelier level.

Facade: Historic Downtown Miami in Line Drawings, by author Damir Sinovcic, is a portrait of the architecture and development of Miami’s city center and its vicinity during the early twentieth century. Though many buildings erected during that period have been demolished or significantly altered over time, some of the most prominent structures still remain. Based on the book, the Miami Center for Architecture and Design, along with the Downtown Development Authority and author Damir Sinovcic, have created an exhibition that depicts many of Miamiâ€™s historical buildings. Free viewing Monday thru Friday, 10am â€“ 5pm.

â€œFacade: Historic Downtown Miami in Line Drawings features downtown Miami buildings erected around the time of the Miami Land Boom. The bookâ€™s geographical focus encompasses the city center and neighborhoods north and east of the Miami River, as well as certain buildings north of the central business district, including Overtown and the neighborhoods near Biscayne Boulevard….

Over time, and often in the name of progress, many of Miamiâ€™s early twentieth century buildings have been demolished. Although this book could easily have been dedicated to all the great buildings that no longer exist, it celebrates those important structures that have endured.â€ â€“ Damir Sinovcic, Author

Get ready to dance your pants off!!! the Hongs live at Will Call – Friday, March 28th.

Formed in 2008 by Jamaican-born musician Gordon Myers this multinational rock electronic group has become one of the most popular bands of the Miami music scene.

Quite accidentally, The Hongs band members are a multinational fusion: Jamaican, French, Mexican, Jewish, Costa Rican, Scottish, Cuban & Argentinean.

The Hongs blend elements of electro-pop with a dash of nuwave to create a sweet sugary pop-rock-disco. Spreading the dance / rock / house / electro hybrid one toe at a time…
“There is something very delicate and ephemeral about the Hongs. Their music sounds like something that reverberates in hallways in those moments before sleep hits.”

Third Annual PhilanthroFest to Take Place April 12, Connecting Thousands of South Floridians to Over a Hundred Local Nonprofit Organizations and Community Agencies in a Family Friendly Festival

Free outdoor event promises day of family-friendly fun while raising nonprofit awareness, promoting civic engagement and connecting the community to nonprofit resources at Miami Dade College’s Wolfson Campus

PhilanthroFest, the nation’s largest festival of its kind, is back and promises to be bigger and better than ever. Fulfilling the mission of its namesake organization, this year’s PhilanthroFest helps bridge the gap between local nonprofit organizations and members of the community – making it easier to get the help you need or give the help you can provide.

For Miami residents who are interested in donating time or money to help those in need, PhilanthroFest provides the opportunity to learn more about local nonprofits and meet the people behind them face to face. PhilanthroFest also serves as a nonprofit marketplace, raising awareness of the services and benefits that nonprofits and community agencies are able to provide.

Now in its third year, PhilanthroFest proves that community engagement can be fun. The outdoor festival is free and open to the public, and intended to be enjoyed by people of all ages. Festival attendees can enjoy a full day of art exhibits, musical performances, demonstrations, health screenings, a green market, food trucks, and an assortment of other activities that everyone in the family can appreciate, courtesy of PhilanthroFest’s community partners.

While taking part in the many activities, South Florida residents can learn about all kinds of nonprofit organizations representing all sorts of causes, including business and economic development; education; animal welfare; arts and cultural development; environmental issues; food, agriculture, and nutrition; civic engagement; health and disease prevention; youth activities, sports and recreation; and community improvement. For South Florida residents who have been looking for a chance to pay it forward, there is no opportunity like PhilanthroFest to find the nonprofit that’s right for you. Members of the community have the opportunity to sign up to volunteer or make a donation right on the spot.

And for those who may be in need of such services, nonprofits and community agencies are on hand to explain who they serve, what they do and how one can qualify for such services. It has never been easier to find out the wide array of services that South Florida community agencies and local nonprofits have to offer. PhilanthroFest is the largest nonprofit festival in the nation and the largest gathering of its kind.

HistoryMiamiâ€™s newest exhibition, featuring Miami-inspired murals by Miami-based artists, is now open to the public.

Called Some Like It Hot, the exhibition is the first major museum/gallery showcase of Miamiâ€™s burgeoning street art scene, and was curated in collaboration with some of the art formsâ€™ local pioneers and trailblazers: 2alas, Lo Castro, Tati Suarez, Erin Odea and the MSG Crew to name a few. Each contributed original works for the exhibit, inspired by Miamiâ€™s history.

Street art in has recently exploded in popularity and is now a definitive part of the cultural fabric in todayâ€™s Miami. The murals and outdoor pieces that dot the Wynwood/Midtown area have become major attractions for both tourists and locals alike, and have helped revitalize a once forgotten neighborhood. However, the impact the art form, and the nameless artists creating it (largely for free) have yet to be recognized by major galleries and museums in the areaâ€¦until now.

General museum admission is free for HistoryMiami members and children under 6. Admission for adults is $8, seniors and students are $7 and $5 for children 6 â€“ 12 years old.

Miami International Film Festival premiere of Deep City: Birth of the Miami Sound at The Olympia Theater at the Gusman Center on 3/14/14

Miami International Film Festival premiere of Deep City: Birth of the Miami Sound at The Olympia Theater at the Gusman Center on Friday, March 14, 2014.

MovieÂ synopsis: “A celebration of Deep City Records, an independent label behind some of the richest music of South Floridaâ€™s soul music scene in the 1960s, this homegrown Florida story resurrects a piece of our nearly forgotten history in a rock-and-funk documentary from local filmmakers Marlon Johnson, Dennis Scholl, and Chad Tingle. Immensely talented producers and musicians such as Willie Clarke, Clarence Reid, Johnny Pearsall, Helene Smith, Betty Wright and others created and fought for a unique Florida sound in the 1960s.”

Deep City: “Birth of the Miami Sound has a compelling and galvanizing story to tell, but the zinger of this experience is the force of its soundtrack. To this day, the â€œMiami soundâ€ remains wholly infectious and contagious, and to celebrate the accomplishments of the amazing musicians from a half-century ago, we will lift the screen following the end of the film for an on-stage party with DJ Spam putting a modern spin on the old Deep City sound. Complimentary beverages courtesy of Stella Artois and overflowing food stations will keep the party going, and several Deep City originals will be on hand in person. â€“ Jaie Laplante.”

As you may have heard, SAVE and the ACLU of Florida have announced the filing of a groundbreaking lawsuit on behalf of eight married couples to secure recognition from the state of Florida for same-sex marriages performed out-of-state.

A pro-equality ruling would grant gay couples married in states that perform same-sex marriages access to many rights and benefits that Florida grants to opposite-sex married couples, such as Social Security survivor benefits and the right to include your spouse on your health insurance policy.

It’s our pleasure to invite you to SAVE’s annual Champions of Equality awards reception and gala, where we will honor the eight brave couples taking a stand for equality in court.

SAVE is also proud to honor State Representative David Richardson, County Commissioner Audrey Edmonson, and filmmaker Joe Cardona.

We hope you will join us in honoring these trailblazers on May 9th. Buy your tickets today!

We made it official in 2010 when we opened a public space in Wynwood. Today in addition to being Eleazar’s personal art studio, we host local talents and leaders who need a professional environment to showcase, educate, and enrich the community at large.

Tash and Chris have been nothing short of a best-kept-secret among New York City concertgoers since the bandâ€™s formation in 2008, building a fervent and dynamic fan base leveraged by their ever-substantiated reputation for consistently well-rehearsed and impassioned, explosive live performances. The bandâ€™s celebrated sound and spirit draws significant influence from the driving force of British rock pioneers Cream and Led Zeppelin, to billowing and bouncing funk and soul, to the layered harmonies and memorable hooks of The Beatles and The Hollies, to the contemporary psychedelia of My Morning Jacket among many more.

For the opening of his solo exhibition, Imagined Landscapes, Miami-based, Haitian-born artist Edouard Duval-CarriÃ© discusses his new work with PAMM Chief Curator Tobias Ostrander.

The dialog will address Duval CarriÃ©â€™s shift in aesthetic, using an uncharacteristically dark palate, as well as how he translates his references, 19th century paintings depicting Florida and the Caribbean, into his own contemporary visual language. The artistâ€™s response to the role of images of tropical paradise, both historically and today, in obscuring economic and social disparities will emerge from the conversation.

Every third Thursday evening, PAMM brings together an eclectic range of internationally-acclaimed DJs and musicians for an outdoor music series on the terrace by the bay. This month, PAMM Presents Brooklyn-based duo Gatekeeper.

Inspired by the sounds and visions of forgotten b-movie film scores, classic fantasy games and lurid arcade imagery, the duo of Aaron David Ross and Matthew Arkell have created their own morbidly compelling discotheque, a vividly detailed flight of fancy in which the conventions of techno, Chicago house, italo-disco and industrial are transfigured into a singular phantasmagoric adventure populated by hushed screams, Gregorian dungeon chants and cinematic washes of mammoth sound.

Free with museum admission. Drink specials are available for purchase

Vocal PÃ©rez Art Museum Miami

Cost: Free with museum admission

Drawing from an expanding palette of innovative sounds, these musicians instrumentalize breath, mouth, and vocal chords to engage the physicality, variation, and sensuousness of the non-lyrical voice. C. Spencer Yeh (Brooklyn) and Stine Janvin Motland (Oslo/Berlin) improvise and compose, using the voice as a sound-making device that lies outside of speech acts and traditional modes of singing.

Established artists among a younger generation of experimental musicians, Motland and Yehâ€™s practices have historical precedence in movements of musique concrete, and perhaps sound poetry. Their use of non-linguistic vocal sounds in composition and improvisation may be compared to the approaches of concrete poets, who sought to elevate text above that of an impartial actor within the communication process.

Performance 7-8pm (seating begins 6:30pm)

Free with museum admission. Space is limited. First come, first seated.

Equality Florida Miami Gala Voice For Equality Award to Actress Sharon Gless 3/16/14

Posted on February 27, 2014February 27, 2014 by none

Equality Florida Miami Gala Voice For Equality Award to Actress Sharon Gless
Sunday, March 16, 6 PM
PÃ©rez Art Museum Miami
1103 Biscayne Blvd
Miami, FL
Tickets are $150, with sponsorships beginning at $500. For tickets or further information, go to www.eqfl.org/miamigala, or call (813) 870-3735.

On Sunday, March 16, Equality Florida Institute will present the Voice for Equality Award to multi- award-winning actress Sharon Gless and the six couples who have joined Equality Florida Institute as plaintiffs in a lawsuit to overturn Floridaâ€™s ban on marriage equality. The awards recognize the recipientsâ€™ steadfast commitment to LGBT equality and will be presented at the Equality Florida Miami Gala at the PÃ©rez Art Museum Miami, 1103 Biscayne Boulevard.
In a year that has seen many landmark milestones and victories, the Gala will provide the LGBT community and their allies a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the momentum that is building throughout the state and throughout the nation.

â€œMy role in Queer as Folk was a life-changer for me,â€ said Gless. â€œI thought I was totally aware of what it must be like to be gay. I knew nothing. Being ostracized; not being given the same rights that I enjoy. Itâ€™s insane. I knew then that I wanted to become active and do what I could to help. Everyone should be treated equally and be given the same privileges â€“ including the right to marry.â€

A part-time resident of South Florida for more than 20 years, multiple Emmy and Golden Globe winner Sharon Gless has been a vocal advocate for the LGBT community for many years. In 2013 she took a leading role in Equality Florida’s Get Engaged campaign, a statewide public education campaign to build support for marriage equality in Florida. She served as Grand Marshal in the Miami Beach Pride Parade, received the Gay Icon Award at Philadelphia QFest, the PFLAG Ally award in Toronto and was honored by L.A.â€™s Gay & Elder Housing. Norman Learâ€™s People for the American Way also recognized her for her unwavering support of human rights and she is an active participant in the ongoing struggle to prevent the overturn of Roe vs. Wade.

"There are many celebrities who call Florida home, and we call on them to join Sharon Gless in publicly expressing their support for equality," said Nadine Smith, CEO of Equality Florida. "We are at a tipping point in the movement for LGBT equality, and the voice of allies like Sharon Gless can make a huge difference in educating the public."

Following last summerâ€™s historic Supreme Court decision on DOMA, Equality Florida issued a call for potential plaintiffs to join with Equality Florida in a lawsuit seeking marriage equality in Florida. More than 1,000 people responded by signing on to GetEngaged.org. Following months of vetting and personal interviews, the six plaintiff couples were chosen. They are: Catherina Pareto & Karla Arguello, Dr. Juan Carlos Rodriguez & David Price, Vanessa & Melanie Alenier, Todd & Jeff Delmay, Summer Greene & Pamela Faerber, and Don Price Johnston & Jorge Isaias Diaz.

â€œThese six couples have committed to a life in the spotlight, putting themselves and their families under intense scrutiny as the court case progresses,â€ said Nadine Smith. â€œThey are brave, and they are courageous, taking this important step so that they, and thousands of other couples in Florida, will have the right to marry the person he or she loves.â€

As the community celebrates the milestones already achieved throughout the state, Nadine Smith, CEO of Equality Florida, will present perhaps one of the most significant State-of-the-State addresses ever, honoring those who have worked so hard to make these achievements a reality, as well as outlining the work that is yet to be done.

Guests will also enjoy sumptuous hors dâ€™oeuvres and an open bar, along with music from Grammy award-winning saxophonist Felipe Lamoglia, all taking place on the expansive terrace with panoramic views of Biscayne Bay.

Recognized as an â€œarchitectural tour de force,â€ the PÃ©rez Art Museum is the ideal venue for the Miami Gala, which has blossomed into a â€œmust attendâ€ event that brings together nearly 500 of South Floridaâ€™s community and political influencers.

PAMM presents an intimate concert by acclaimed electronic musician and composer Daniel Lopatin – Oneohtrix Point Never. The performance marks the musician’s Miami debut, and will feature a live, improvised mix of visuals created by video artist Nate Boyce.

Show starts at 7pm. Seating begins at 6:30pm. Seats are limited and tickets are required. Tickets not redeemed by 6:30pm will be given to those on stand-by.
*Tickets are non-refundable. Unused tickets may be redeemed for museum admission.
Non-members $20, Members $16 (with promotion code at check out)
Price includes museum admission.

Acclaimed electronic musician and composer Daniel Lopatin – Oneohtrix Point Never – performs for the first time in Miami. For his highly-praised, most recent release, R Plus Seven, Lopatin assembles the sounds of corporate design – the sort found in commercial transitions, background music, and instructional videos- into songs that are as moving as they are conceptual. Awe, doom, and wonder arise from a range of referents – pipe organs and horns to the abstract, synthesized cues for soundtracked emotions.

This performance will feature a live improvised mix of visuals created by video artist Nate Boyce. His CGI forms, some appearing as modernist sculpture or consumer products, mutate and morph in disorienting virtual space. As with Oneohtrix Point Never, Boyce uses found text, the names of towns made enigmatic and website banners cut up and layered throughout like visual poetry. The duo have toured together extensively performing together at venues, including MoMA/PS1, Walker Art Center, and Wexner Center for the Arts.

Geoff Dyer will outline ideas behind and inspiration for “The Ongoing Moment,” particularly his idiosyncratic categories for organizing photographic images. Tracing some examples of particular tropes, hats for example, Dyer will ask what larger lessons can be learned from indexing photographs in a way that veers from traditional art historical chronologies and taxonomies. What is the further potential of this method? Does it reveal something about the way photographers work, about a collective optical unconscious?

â€œThe Ongoing Moment is a masterful meditation on photographs, but what makes it particularly valuable is the way it shows how Dyer has mastered the art of the essay, understood as a piece of discursive, personal writing, in which great, often melancholy themes are raised with lightness and very dry humour.â€ Alain de Botton, Books of the Year, Observer

“The Ongoing Moment” is available for purchase at the PAMM store. In advance of the talk, join a discussion group on “The Ongoing Moment.”

Free and open to the public. Space is limited. First come, first seated.

Ai Weiwei’s documentary, Fairytale, will be featured in PAMM’s auditorium with special guided exhibition tours of Ai Weiwei: According to What? at 6pm and 8pm.

Fairytale, a documentary film by Ai Weiwei, chronicles the making of a work by the same name. In 2007, Ai Weiwei invited 1,001 Chinese citizens of varying ages and backgrounds to travel to Kassel, Germany, for one week each, all expenses paid. The extraordinary event of such a large group of citizens traveling outside of China, many for the first time, enabled Ai Weiwei and the participants to discuss questions concerning identity, memory, love, dreams and the possibility of cultural dialogue. This 152-minute film describes the many challenges facing the artist and his volunteers in coordinating the work.

Considering the way images are indexed in the current exhibition, Image Search: Photography from the Collection, PAMM and The Miami Rail select The Ongoing Moment by Geoff Dyer as the Winter Reading Art book. Focusing on the ways in which canonical figures like Alfred Stieglitz, Paul Strand, Walker Evans, Andre Kertesz, Edward Weston, Dorothea Lange, Diane Arbus and William Eggleston have photographed the same things â€“ barbershops, benches, hands, roads, signs â€“ Geoff Dyer seeks to identify their signature styles. In doing so, he constructs a narrative in which these photographers â€“ many of whom never met â€“ constantly encounter one another.

-11am Book discussion on the terrace (participants receive 10% discount at Verde Coffee Bar)

-12pm Tour of Image Search: Photography from the Collection led by PAMM Associate Curator Diana Nawi

The Ongoing Moment is available for sale at the PAMM Shop.
