A frequent guest on MSNBC, Max Boot is an independent thinker who writes prolifically about history, defense strategy, and foreign affairs. Mr. Boot is far more than an accomplished historian. He is engaged in current foreign policy challenges and debates.

The New York Times has called him, “A master historian,” and The Wall Street Journal has referred to him as, “A penetrating writer and thinker.”

Max Boot is a military historian and foreign-policy analyst who has been called one of the “world’s leading authorities on armed conflict” by the International Institute for Strategic Studies. Max Boot’s latest book—The Road Not Taken: Edward Lansdale and the American Tragedy in Vietnam—is due out in early 2018 from Norton/Liveright. The Jeane J. Kirkpatrick senior fellow in national security studies at the Council on Foreign Relations, Max Boot is the author of three previous, widely acclaimed books: The Savage Wars of Peace: Small Wars and the Rise of American Power (2002), War Made New: Technology, Warfare, and the Course of History, 1500 to Today (2006), and, most recently, the New York Times best-seller Invisible Armies: The Epic History of Guerrilla Warfare from Ancient Times to the Present (2013). Max Boot is also a contributing editor to The Weekly Standard, USA Today, and The Los Angeles Times, a blogger for Commentary, and a regular contributor to The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, and many other publications. Max Boot has advised military commanders in Iraq and Afghanistan, and his books have been assigned reading by the military services. Max Boot was a senior foreign policy adviser to John McCain in 2007-2008, a defense policy adviser to Mitt Romney in 2011-2012, and a foreign policy adviser to Marco Rubio in 2015-2016. Max Boot graduated from the University of California, Berkeley (BA, history, 1991) and Yale University (MA, history, 1992). Born in Moscow, he grew up in Los Angeles, and now lives in New York City.

FIBER OPTICS – Not what it seems. Five artists explore the world of fibers…natural and not. Colorful yarn, thread, plant fibers, sisal, raffia, luxurious lace, and felted wool are chosen because of how they look and feel.Seductive, soft to the touch and to the eye the artists … play with threads crossing threads,thick and thin, unusual inclusions Traditional processes, such as embroidery, quilting, knitting and weaving are revisited.The optical mixing of colors and textures give the illusion of a third dimension where the integration of light and transparency are an integral part of the process. The endless variations chosen by the artists are absolutely fantastic. For additional information please contact 786.390.5447.

Students of the Guitars Over Guns program, in response to the tragic loss of Jakyri Fleurimar (age 15), are releasing a remake music video of Wiz Khalifa’s hit ‘See You Again’, March 2nd, 2017 at Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM).

Replacing verses of the original song with their own lyrics, GOGO students such as Xavier Gustave, cousin of Fleurimar, had the opportunity to express themselves in honor of Fleurimar’s memory and the many others lost to senseless gun violence. The song and video remake, which involved more than 80 Miami-Dade County Public School students, is a community call-to-action; a platform for those who can still speak up, want to be heard and want to make a difference.

This special screening, hosted by Local 10 Anchor Neki Mohan, will be the first public showing of this project, promising to engage the community in conversation surrounding solution-based actions. As part of the evening’s program, messages of encouragement will be delivered by Miami-Dade County Public Schools Superintendent Alberto Carvalho (via video), WSVN 7 Reporter Ann Keil and Commander Francisco Fernandez of the City of Miami Police Department.

Students spent months writing, rehearsing and editing this project, which was recorded at Noisematch Recording Studio in Wynwood, and filmed at North Miami Middle School with a special appearance by members of the North Miami Police Department.

Come out and show your support!

Karen is an Associate Professor of Landscape Architecture at the University of Pennsylvania. She teaches core design studios, advanced option studios, and contemporary theories of landscape architecture. Her advanced options studios explore techniques for working with repetition, ornamentation and surface modulation as a means to produce new forms of topography. Her book titled Unearthed: the Landscapes of Hargreaves Associates (University of Pennsylvania Press, 2013) utilizes a selection of work by this highly regarded landscape architecture practice as a vehicle by which to gauge recent disciplinary trends. She received a research grant and publication grant from the Graham Foundation for Advanced Studies in the Fine Arts and The David R.

Other writings include “Synthetic Patterns: Fabricating Landscapes in the Age of Green”(Journal of Landscape Architecture, Spring 2013), “Not Garden” in VIA: Dirt (Cambridge: MIT Press, 2011), “Criticality in Landscape Architecture: Origins in 19th-century American practices, in Modernism and Landscape Architecture, 1890-1940” (Washington D.C.: National Gallery Center for Advanced Studies in the Visual Arts, forthcoming 2013), among others. Her focus considers the use of design techniques and the environmental values they manifest in both Modern-era and contemporary landscape designs. Her forthcoming book (co-authored with Keith VanDerSys), entitled Dynamic Patterns: Visualizing Landscapes in a Digital Age (Routledge Press), situates the emerging expressions of pattern in landscape architecture.

Karen received a Masters in Landscape Architecture with distinction from Harvard University and a Bachelor of Architecture with distinction from the Southern California Institute of Architecture (SCI-Arc).

Jazz singer, composer and arranger Carmen Lundy hails from Miami, Florida and received her B.M. degree from the University of Miami.

She will release her 15th album in February 2017, titled Code Noir. In April 2016, Carmen Lundy was honored with the 2016 Lifetime Achievement in Jazz Award by Black Women In Jazz and The Arts, based in Atlanta, GA.

Welcome to the 2017 Miami Kidney Walk

The positive energy of thousands of people at the Kidney Walk is invigorating.

It’s infectious.

It’s exhilarating.

That’s because the Kidney Walk is not about kidney disease. It’s about people with kidney disease coming together, united in one cause: to celebrate life and each other.

Kidney Walk is the nation’s largest event to raise awareness of kidney disease and raise funds to support lifesaving programs for patients, their families, and those at risk.

Because funding builds the future, it helps build a world where kidney disease is caught “early” and treated before it causes significant damage. It builds a world where people don’t have to get a dialysis treatment to stay alive. It builds a world with no wait list for people seeking a kidney.

Be a part of a community of 85,000 individuals at more than 100 Kidney Walks who share a determination to end kidney disease.

C’mon! Join us.

Brillhart Architecture is borne out of a love for and facility with “making” things. In the natural course of development, tectonics, materiality and the logic of construction have become a primary focus of interest. Relying on a back-to-basics approach, we often study old models for future buildings, marrying archetypes and prototypes with new materials, fabrication and construction assemblies – all the while placing heavy emphasis on process as a means of furthering creativity and invention. The goal is to create a contemporary and dynamic building vocabulary that resuscitates the Ancient, celebrates the Modern, and foresees an architecture without big style.

Though the firm works on a diverse range of projects – including commercial and residential architecture as well as exhibitions, interiors, furniture, and other speculative research projects – a pragmatic building vocabulary, emphasis on tectonic potential, and ideas of craftsmanship are the common threads that link each project together.

The office also embraces a very hands-on, “knowledge-how” ethos that extends beyond design. Engaged in low-budget competitions, installations, and personal endeavors (such as our house) early on, we grew our firm by conceiving, designing, fabricating, assembling and constructing many things ourselves. In simply having to figure things out, we have become highly resourceful: regularly collaborating with outside disciplines; learning to maximize structural and material efficiencies; and seeking creative solutions to details that may be outside the industry defaults.

As a result, the firm has won numerous awards for design innovation, including AIA awards in 2008 and 2010, and competition winnings. Work has been featured in the New York Times, Wallpaper, Metropolis, Design Bureau, and the Miami Herald. Custom furniture pieces have also been included in the annual design show, Inventory, held during Design Miami and Art Basel.

The firm was founded by Jacob Brillhart in 2005, after he completed his Masters in Architecture from Columbia University. Jacob complements his practice by teaching design, freehand drawing, and architectural theory as an Assistant Professor at the University of Miami School of Architecture. A Gabriel Prize finalist in 2006 and 2007 and a finalist for the 2010 Rome Prize in Architecture, Brillhart has also served as the Favrot Visiting Assistant Professor at Tulane University.

Two Miami icons team up to take you on a culinary world-tour on New Year’s Eve.

Pitbull embodies the Miami vibe: hip, cool and the ultimate entertainer. There is no one better to host a New Year’s Eve party than Mr. Worldwide himself. And when he thought to turn this party into a culinary affair, he only needed to look at the top of Miami’s Who’s Who. At the top of that list is none other than James Beard Award-winning chef, Michelle Bernstein.

The party will take place smack in the middle of all the celebration at Bayfront Park in downtown Miami. But this isn’t a party for the masses. This private event is a limited ticket event. So while 150,000 people party outside, patrons will be enjoying the VIP treatment within Worldwide NYE. The ticket includes everything: food, wine, spirits and a champagne toast at midnight.

There will be 15 to 20 food stations. Each station will have a signature dish created by Chef Bernstein. The spirit of this event is truly a “worldwide” experience. Each dish will focus on a different region of the world. In addition to the culinary delights, there are several signature cocktails to enjoy plus perfectly paired wine and craft beer. These signature cocktails are masterfully created by award-winning mixologist Julio Cabrera. Julio earned the title of Bartender of the Year and also named “America’s Most Imaginative Bartender” by GQ Magazine where he also graced the cover. Enjoy all the creations while taking in the Fox broadcast “Pitbull’s New Year’s Revolution” live from the private party.

Please note this is a 21+ event. Questions: Email us or check the website for more details.

Cost: FREE

MANO Fine Art proudly presents Deep As A River
on view through November 28, 2016.

Featuring work by: Donald McKnight, Robert McKnight, MANO. Ali Miranda, Adriano Nicot, and Purvis Young.

Soulful and provoking the exhibit “Deep As A River” presents a collection of strong and at times uneven, but always intriguing works that collectively are an exultation of the human spirit. Of a life properly lived knowing as poet Jim Harrison said “You touch things lightly or deeply; but you move along because life herself moves, and you can’t stop it; so you go with the “being-ness” of life…”.

“Deep As A River” revolves around the work of Purvis Young, perhaps one of the most important outsider artist of recent times. Young is best known for chronicling life in Miami’s inner city; his work remains as relevant today as it was when he started documenting the hustle and bustle of Overtown. The exhibit than extends to include a poignant collection of photography by Ali Miranda, “Let Sleeping Dogs Lie”; Adriano Nicot’s blue series which while dark is not without humor; masterful figurative drawings by Donald Mcknight; powerful examples of assemblage as sculpture by Robert McKnight. Fittingly the exhibit ends with stunning mix media works by MANO that speak to our time, “Hanging On” a nod to the United States history of immigration, and “Fools on the Hill” that may be viewed as veiled political commentary.

Special thanks to Gallery Moderne for collaborating with us to exhibit works by Purvis Young.

MANO Fine Art Project Space is the working studio of Miami-based artist MANO and an exhibition and project space for art related events. MANO Fine Art is one of the founding members of the Bird Road Art Walk that is held on the third Saturday of each month.

Spectrum Miami, a juried contemporary art show in the heart of the Arts and Entertainment District, will run from Wednesday, November 30 to Sunday, December 4 during Miami Art Week. As part of Redwood Media Group, Spectrum Miami is more than an art show—it’s a five-day fine art experience featuring top galleries and artists from across the U.S. and around the world, along with entertainment, curated projects, and evening events.

Every December, thousands of art collectors, gallery owners, dealers, curators, artists, and art lovers flock to Miami Art Week. Alongside the powerhouse shows of Art Basel, Art Miami, Scope, and Miami Project, Spectrum Miami showcases innovative new art in an elegant, gallery-style exhibition space.

“Last year, we moved to a new location in the Arts and Entertainment District, resulting in a 14 percent increase in attendance,” said Eric Smith, president of Redwood Media Group. “We are excited to see what this year will bring as Spectrum Miami has emerged as one of the best-attended cultural events in Miami.”

AND MORE TO COME!!!

WHY SHOULD YOU BE THERE?
Well, unless you are content with your usual stroll on Lincoln Road (Miami), or Las Olas (Ft. Lauderdale), or Clematis Street (W. Palm Beach), or your typical boring house gatherings, then this party is definitely NOT for you. However, if you want to experience the real essence of Halloween and revel with 500 TRICKSTERS and TREATERS in the most engaging and ghoulish fashion in this part of the land, then we invite you to join us at LE MASQUE NOIR on Saturday, October 29th at Lemon City Studios in Miami. Don’t say that we didn’t warn you… Bring an extra pair of underwear, or not!!!

WHAT YOU’LL GET TO EXPERIENCE…
— An Electrifying and eclectic crowd of free-spirited party people

— Enchanted Haunted Lounge (Indoor) Area

A FEW TIPS…
— BUY YOUR TICKETS IN ADVANCE ONLINE – Space is very limited to only 500 people… Door tickets (if this event is not sold out in advance) will be higher.
— SPEND TIME TO FIGURE OUT AND DESIGN YOUR COSTUMES – One of the most important elements of the success of this party is Audience Participation (That means YOU!!!). What could you create to stand apart from everybody else… Hmmmm??? Get creative!!!
— ARRIVE EARLY – The last thing you want to experience on Halloween Night is standing in a long line while wearing a Costume. Although we will be moving the line quickly, we cannot make magic happen when hundreds of people all show up at the same time… Also, you will have less of a walk to make from your Parking spot to the venue… Again, Get there early!!!

WHERE / HOW TO MAKE THIS OFFICIAL?
Advanced Ticket Sales is strongly suggested!!! — Buy your tickets on Eventbrite today: (https://halloweenmiami2k16.eventbrite.com/)

Cost: Starts at $40

Craft beer lovers know that Grovetoberfest is a fun way to do some serious beer tasting of over 300 craft beers from around the world. This year, Grovetoberfest will move slightly South to Miami Marine Stadium; a move geared towards allowing more people to experience Florida’s largest beer festival. In addition, it has upped the ante by bringing a beer connoisseur on board who has been hand-selecting some of the rarest beers available for this year’s festival.

“We’re overflowing with good news. In our new home, Grovetoberfest will continue to offer local favorites and mainstream craft beers, but with a renewed focus on elite craft beers. We are working directly with the brewers to secure and reserve batches of incredibly esoteric and unique brews,” says Tony Albelo, organizer and chief sample taster for Grovetoberfest. This year, Blackberry Farms Brewery will be pouring in the VIP area. Civil Society Brewing will also be pouring at the event, making this the first time they’ve ever poured at a Miami-Dade beer fest. In addition, for the first time ever, Grovetoberfest will be pouring Prairie, Crooked Stave, To Øl, Mikkeller, and Slim Pickins. Aficionados will delight in sampling beers in the Sunshine State-of-Mind, a collection of over 40 Florida breweries including Wynwood Brewing Company, J. Wakefield Brewing, MIA Brewing, Funky Buddha, Saltwater, Banging Banjos, Due South and Biscayne Brewing, to name a few.

The new location allows for more room and easier parking. Other aspects of the festival include the VIP Lounge, which will be hosted by Chef M from Latin House Grill. In addition, it will offer certain perks not available to the general ticket holder such as specialty brews, covered seating area and air-conditioned bathrooms. The Homebrew Pavilion will showcase special brews made by passionate beer drinkers; the Food Row will offer food for purchase and the Kitchen Lab will feature beer/food pairing demonstrations by local chefs such as Ryan Martin from 180° at the DRB, and Zeke Man from 305 Brews. As usual, a Live Music Stage will feature dance-inducing music throughout the entire day.
