Dear MFYH Foundation friends,

As you’ve been showing your support at our last anniversary, I reach out to you again to confirm if you would like to support us again this year. As you will see, this year our event has been designed differently, much smaller but more exclusive and upscale paying attention to detail for a higher impact. This year only 75 guests will be able to attend but all of them committed to support our cause.

As you know, after 12 years in business, my passion for music brought me to Miami 4 years ago and ultimately I discovered that I had a bigger mission than my own dream so October 5th,2010 I founded Music For Your Heart Foundation, a 501c3 non-profit organization to provide instruments and music education to the kids around the world.

Next Sunday, October 6th 2013, we will be celebrating our 3rd Anniversary at the charming boutique hotel “The Cadet” for a maximum of 75 exclusive guests that would have purchased their ticket online ($90) or at the door ($125). Any contribution will be 100% Tax deductible.

The event will start at 7pm at a beautiful and elegant outside patio where we will be greeting our guests with Stacole Fine Wines and Hipnotiq Liquor and champagne accompanied by delicatessen hors-d’oeuvres offered by the number 1 Zagat Gourmet rated fine restaurant “Pied-à-Terre”.

After a brief message, we will ask our guests to step inside for our talent performances that will then lead us to a nicely conducted live auction of the products and services that have been kindly donated to raise funds for the cause.

We are looking for individuals/companies willing to help us make this happen. If you know anybody interested in our sponsorship options or donations for our live auction, please contact us now. We can proudly say that not only private companies like Coca-Cola, Saks 5th Ave, Marlins, etc…are supporting our mission but also our local government.
We sincerely appreciate your support!

The vibrant and diverse cultures of Latin America and the Caribbean take center stage at the World Trade Center Miami’s 17th Americas Food and Beverage Show Oct. 28 and 29 with more than 500 top food producers from 23 countries, each showcasing their top products, recipes and delicacies.

The 17th Americas Food and Beverage Show at the Miami Beach Convention Center is the largest specialty food trade event in the Western Hemisphere and is expected to generate more than $200 million in actual and projected sales. The show generated $190 million in sales in 2012 and attracted 9,500 buyers to the two-day show.

“By all accounts, this will be the most successful event in show history. We expect more than 10,000 people to visit the show and pursue trade opportunities with local companies and businesses throughout the Americas,” said Charlotte Gallogly, president of the World Trade Center Miami.
The 17th Americas Food and Beverage Show will feature more than 500 booths filled with specialty products from every corner of the globe, including country pavilions representing Algeria; Argentina; Bolivia; Brazil; Brazil/Goias; Canada/Atlantic Canada; Colombia; Ecuador; Peru; South Korea; Thailand; Turkey; and the United States.
NASDA will host the USA Pavilion (www.nasdatradeshows.org) with 90 small businesses. DeWitt Ashby, NASDA’s tradeshow director, and his team spend the months leading up to the show recruiting companies and pre-arranging meetings with buyers, suppliers and potential customers.

“A lot of companies have some really cool products but they lack the critical mass to take those products to bigger markets like Mexico and Canada,” DeWitt said. “The Caribbean and Latin America are the perfect fit for their export business.”

The Illinois Department of Agriculture recruits an average of 13 exhibitors a year to attend the Americas Food and Beverage Show. The results have been profitable for those that make the trip to South Beach.
Last year, 12 Illinois-based companies attended the show and generated $1.9 million in sales, with an additional $2 million in sales still pending.

“Our return on investment is 207 to 1,” said Kim Hamilton, an international marketing representative for the Illinois Department of Agriculture.

Hamilton says the Americas Food and Beverage Show remains the best venue for companies eager to strike up export deals in the Western Hemisphere.

“This is the largest food and beverage show that targets the western hemisphere. And since most of the exports are going though Miami because it’s a leading distribution center, it makes sense, for them to participate in the show,” she said.

The show also features the 8th Annual Chefs Competition featuring international teams competing for cash prizes and the title of “Best Chef of the Americas”. Visitors will also be able to take advantage of two days of business seminars geared to restaurants and food retailers.

The 17th Americas Food and Beverage is a trade-only event that is closed to the general public. Attendee registration is open throughout the show at www.americasfoodandbeverage.com.

EVLworld

EVLworld is the brainchild o f visual artist Erni Vales or, Erni Vales Lt d. (EVL). It is the culmination of cons i s ten t mural, design and artwork for over 3 decades. In that time Vales traveled internationally,created sets for celebrities, designed restaurants and nightclubs and is still regarded as one of the world ‘s leading innovators and pioneer s of the graffiti and street art movement.

EVLworld studio in Miami is the current headquarters and the home for his most recent feat , “An Unusual Journey” where he created 13 paintings a month for 13 months, 169 in total, paintings that combine graffiti to pop to poster style i n a colorful blast of color and thought provoking themes and ideas.

Photo s are available on request but EVLworld i s 1 step beyond that. Images of the paintings are available to anyone printed on a wide assortment of merchandise and clothing!

” I wanted to base EVLworld to be like my fellow artist and close friend Keith Haring ‘s Pop Shop. Keith was instrumental in inspiring me and proving that art collectors come in many sizes and shapes as well as different financial brackets.”

In a time where budget cutbacks across the nation continue to erode creativity from our culture and schools, Vales and EVLworld want to bring art, color and creativity back and inspire others to see their own artistic potentials.

Rather than concentrating on a specific style, Candelario aims to have a platform where he can truly express creative freedom through a varied selection of music. So far it has proven true, having licensed several of his past releases to the likes of Ministry of Sound and several other European and Japanese labels.

Though his many productions have been praised around the world, Benji is always quick to point out his roots. He is a DJ foremost that produces records and not a producer that now DJs. He is in his element playing the hottest clubs (from the dark, underground spots to the big rooms) in Ibiza, Greece, UK, France, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Canada and the U.S.

Without compromising his expansive knowledge and exquisite taste, his style remains fun and accessible. When Benji plays he takes care to bring his listeners with him on his musical journey and makes sure they stay with him the whole party through. It has always been important to him that people understand and enjoy his unique musical point of view, making him a favorite with promoters and club goers alike.

Soulscience
Mikkel Dankner aka Soulscience is a DJ and producer who showcases functional, dynamic, and energetic music programming. With over twenty years experience, he has been holding residencies at impressive locations throughout New York and Miami catering to the aurally adventurous and hose of sophisticated musical taste.

Aside from DJing, Mikkel is also a music producer. His first release was in 2001 on Yoruba Records with a remix of Erro’s ‘Change For Me.’ The record’s great success came from its unique fusion of broken beat and soul-drenched deep house, earning it future classic status. From that point on, he had been involved in numerous projects such as Open Aire, which was featured earlier this year on the popular BBC television drama, ‘The Syndicate.’ Additionally, Mikkel has set forth plans to launch his label BTWN SPKRS to serve as an outlet for music producers alike. This is a dedicated artist that continues to deliver music for the modern soul.

Cost: $10 general admission; $9 student or senior; $8 PAMM members and MBC members.

Pérez Art Museum Miami and Miami Beach Cinematheque present “Tea” by Mario Garcia Torres with an introduction by the artist.

“Tea” is a film essay documenting artist Mario Garcia Torres’s journey to One Hotel in Kabul, Afghanistan, a hotel opened in 1971 by Italian conceptual artist Alighiero Boetti (b. 1940–d. 1994). The hotel closed due to the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in 1979. Garcia Torres considers his relationship to Boetti’s work and life through a subjective blurring of time and geography.

This screening is part of a series of public programs that contextualizes the work of artists who have been commissioned to create new projects that will debut with the opening of Pérez Art Museum Miami in December 2013. This program marks Mario Garcia Torres’ first visit to Miami while working on a new project for PAMM.

Tickets available at box office the evening of the event. (Seating is limited. First come, first seated.) PAMM members may reserve seats in advance (while supplies last.) Email join@pamm.org to join today.

Announcing the First Annual “Pink Flamingo Awards” for Community Excellence 9/17/13

1901 Convention Center Drive,
Miami Beach, Florida 33139

Cost: $60

The LGBT Visitor Center will present the first annual “Pink Flamingo Awards” to honor 10 people and organizations that have made Miami Beach one of the top 20 places to visit among LGBT tourists, according to The Advocate magazine. Karen Brown, executive director of the LGBT Visitor Center, made the announcement calling the “Pink Flamingo Awards” a similar concept to the People’s Choice Awards because the winners will be voted on by tourists who have visited the Center as well as locals who frequent the Center for community events and activities. The awards are sponsored by American Airlines, the Greater Miami Convention and Visitors Bureau and the Tourist Board of Curacao and will be held Tuesday, September 17, from noon to 2 p.m. in the Palm Ballroom of the Miami Beach Convention Center.

In addition to the awards, the luncheon will honor past and present city leaders who supported the LGBT Visitor Center concept and paved the way for the MDGLCC Foundation to lease the first floor of Old City Hall to house both the LGBT Visitor Center and the Miami-Dade Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce. Among those being recognized are Miami Beach Mayor Matti Bower, the Miami Beach City Commission and former City Commissioners Saul Gross and Victor Diaz who were instrumental in the opening of the LGBT Visitor Center almost three years ago.

“Many people in the community don’t realize that the LGBT Visitor Center is a stand-alone organization under the non-profit MDGLCC Foundation,” said Brown. “We are partially funded by grants for the work that we do to serve our tourists and our community, but we need the community’s support to raise funds to bridge the gap between what we need and what the grants don’t cover. So many locals enjoy the programming at the Center and so many local non-profits benefit from us being here that I honestly think we should change the name of the place to the ‘LGBT Visitor and Community Center’.”

The Pink Flamingo Awards will be a truly interactive experience, according to Brown. Not only will supporters of the LGBT Visitor Center select the winners of the awards, but also the event will feature a unique, interactive silent auction to help raise funds for the Center’s operations. Included in the silent auction will be a trip for two to Las Vegas including accommodations at the Cosmopolitan Resort, original artwork by David Bromstad, a Regions Bank bicycle, a gift certificate from the Art of Shaving, and more.

Finalists for the Pink Flamingo Awards were chosen by a secret blue-ribbon panel of experts, according to Brown. Voters from around the world will determine the winners based on the ballots cast at www.gogaymiami.com and everyone is encouraged to vote for his or her favorites. Winners will be announced at the luncheon.

Tickets to the Pink Flamingo Awards luncheon are $60 each which includes lunch, a gift bag and a raffle ticket for the grand prize drawing of two tickets on American Airlines and a four-night stay at the Sandton Kurá Hulanda Hotel in Curacao, courtesy of the Curacao Tourist Board. To purchase tickets, visit www.gogaymiami.com or call 305-397-8914.

Art and Photographic Installation #77 of ‘for artists BY ARTISTS’ presents select pieces of art by Noel Aquino and photographer Alexia Fodere. Join us for the weekly network art salon that features artist and their works in a dynamic environment that’s fused along with culinary delights and music.

Noel Aquino will be highlighting some of his personal favorite pieces while revealing his latest project.

The artists…
Artist Noel Aquino www.noelaquinoart.com
Artist Noel Aquino was born and raised in Varadero, Cuba, and now resides in Florida. When Aquino was nine years old, an artist from Varadero Community Art Center noticed his talent, and persuaded him to attend classes at the center. After two years of training, his instructors encouraged him to apply to The Matanzas School of Art. Aquino was accepted to the school, and spent the next three years there refining his creative abilities and learning about art history. Much of his time at the school was spent under the tutelage of several nationally, and internationally recognized Cuban artists.

At the age of 20, the passion of youth and a non-conformist attitude towards life were reflected in Aquino’s work, and also led him to leave Cuba for the United States. Although he produced many pieces while a young man in Cuba, it has been in the U.S. where he has created the vast majority of his body of work. Much of Aquino’s early material was of the realistic nature, and included intricately detailed landscapes, and portraits. He then moved into a surrealistic period, gradually arriving at his present style, which he describes as “contemporary modernism”.

Aquino has had numerous (solo and group) shows in the Miami, and Tampa Bay areas of Florida, and in Michigan. He has sold well over 400 pieces, and his works are part of private collections in the US, Canada, Europe, and Latin America.

Noel’s Artist Statement
Like all evolving artists I have gone through various styles and phases; my present approach to painting incorporates the components of form, space, color, and texture, resulting in works that could best be described as contemporary-modernism. I don’t begin my pieces with a sketch, or an image of something tangible in my head, instead I tap into very basic internal emotions, and incorporate those inner perspectives into my process, effectively using my paint and brush, to translate and record, the “language of my mind” onto the canvas. This is not however, to say that I don’t use my artistic skills, but that I integrate those talents into my method in combination with what flows from my subconscious. I then analyze and “play” with the canvas until I feel that a work is complete. This technique is in essence what gives life to my art.

Once I have completed a painting, the images on the canvas oftentimes evoke feelings of something familiar to the viewer- these perceptions are usually based on a particular object (or set of objects) the individual may have seen in his or her own life. And although, it is not necessarily my intent to induce these perceptions, I do realize that they are in part what draws people to my work, and connects them to the pieces. This in turn brings greater inspiration for my expression; ultimately adding to my intrinsic motivation to paint.

Alexia Fodere www.omegaeye.com
Alexia speaks……
I shape the experience of and interior space with my perception of the light, it’s intensity, it’s amplitude, and its angle. Thrusting the objects in front of my camera in its way, just as the wind would do. Also, the proper balance of the subjects plays a central role enhancing the Designer idea.

Alexia’s work has been published in: Architectural Digest, Florida Design Home & Decor, Florida Design International, Florida Design Palm Beach, Casa & Estilo, Blueprint Directory, Loft, Inside Out, Electronic House, Miami Herald Home, DIning Out and Elle Decor.

The 76TH art installation of for artists BY ARTISTS will feature one of Miami’s most “prolific” artist. Eva Ruiz will be joining us on Sunday, August 18, 2013 at Haven Lounge with a digital presentation. Enjoy a night fused with music, food and art.

EVA RUIZ www.evaruizlandoflotus.com

Eva Ruiz was born in Bogota, Colombia, she spent her childhood in different cities and towns of her native country and moved to Miami at an early age. Even though she loved drawing as was a child, she decided to start her career in the arts in 2003. Wanting to find a place where she could express herself completely, she found an infinite world of possibilities when she picked up the brush, she found a part of her self that was missing. She is a self taught artist who loves to play and experiment with different mediums, porcelain, collage and jewelry.

‘Art has been a personal and spiritual journey for me, every person has a way to deal with everything that life brings, I have found that experiences that are painful, can be transformed into the most beautiful expression of love, I have grown because of them and I wish to share that transformation of energy and thought in my work. I am inspired by music, nature, love, silence… life is very inspiring when we look deeper and stay curious.

My work is focused on love and change, I choose to see the beauty around me, we need to acknowledge it and share it, change doesn’t happen by it self, we must bring it. Creation is moment of honesty and dreams, it is fueled by curiosity, imagination and infinity.’

For those who prefer to hear the ivories tickled, The Flat is launching an intimate, live music experience every Wednesday featuring local guest musicians curated by renowned South Florida jazz vocalist Randy Singer.

Nestled in the South of Fifth Street neighborhood, the recently launched Parisian piano lounge has carved a nightlife niche for itself as the quintessential, intimate venue for apéritifs and digestifs compliments of an extensive artisanal cocktail menu served in a sophisticated yet cozy jewel box setting.

“It’s all about the before experience,” explains owner Cedric Adegnika, a well-known South Beach nightlife fixture. “In Europe, there is the ‘in-between’, a place you want to go before dinner, the club or bed.”

Every Wednesday, guest pianists, jazz singers and international singer-songwriters will enliven the everlasting cocktail hour. Future shows Leesa Richards, an up-and-coming solo artist who independently released her debut album, “Mother’s Child”, and continues to tour around the county.

Live Art Exhibition By Artist Krave At Gravity Brewlab Craft Beer Happy Hour At Macchialina 8/7/13

Live Art Exhibition By Local Artist Krave At Gravity Brewlab Craft Beer Happy Hour At Macchialina
Wednesday, August 7, from 6 P.M.- 8 P.M.
Macchialina Taverna Rustica
820 Alton Road
www.facebook.com/macchialina. Twitter: http://twitter.com/macchialina.

The Pubbelly team’s popular Italian eatery, Macchialina Taverna Rustica, has joined forces with local craft brewer Gravity Brewlab to host their first-ever Craft Beer Happy Hour.

Offered in the bar area only, guests can walk up to a special carving station and order Chef/Owner Michael Pirolo’s sandwich of house-made, hand-carved porchetta with topping choices such as crispy potatoes, pepperonta, or broccolini, served on a fresh baguette, while sipping on Gravity Brewlab’s Saizonetta beer. Created just for Macchialina to pair the porchetta, the traditional Belgian farmhouse ale, offered along with the sandwich for $5, is brewed with the uncooked semolina grain from Macchialina.

The monumental first keg tapping will occur during the event by the brewmaster himself, Diego Ganoza, who will also be on-site to mingle, taste and answers questions with guests.

Local artist Daniel Fila, or Krave, known best for his mural “Erin,” a 13-foot posterior-view nude painted along Biscayne Boulevard in the Design District, will be on-site in front of Macchialina during the Happy Hour for a live art exhibition.

Macchialina’s regular Happy Hour specials – $5 house wines and cocktails, $1.50 oysters and a combo of Pirolo’s delightful margherita pizza with a pint of Peroni beer for $10 – as well as the a la carte and Miami Spice dinner menus, will also be offered during the Craft Beer Happy Hour. Macchialina’s rustic Italian fare has received a 3½-Star Excellent rating from The Miami Herald and an equally stellar review from The Miami New Times, as well as a great deal of other local and national attention.

Having noticed a void of innovative, top-quality, locally-crafted beer in Miami, Gravity Brewlab Owner Diego Ganoza, with the help of fellow brewers Robert Tejon and Seth Hammond, sought to fill this vacancy by designing a brewery that operated under the philosophy of creating beer that is 100% unique to Miami. Drawing inspiration for each custom-made draft from the individuality of the city, its diverse cuisines, and of course, the prolific local ingredients, Gravity Brewlab has infiltrated the Florida beer market through participation in festivals, pairings, happy hour events, and tap-takeovers at some of Miami’s most popular restaurants and bars, gaining growing notoriety and respect. Their most recent collaboration includes “Gin and Juice,” a gin barrel-aged double IPA with prestigious Tampa-based Cigar City Brewing. Gravity Brewlab has received many nods from the community including features in Miami New Times, Thrillist Miami, SouthFlorida.com, and nationally, Serious Eats: Serious Drinks. Head brewer Robert Tejon has also been listed in Miami New Times’ Top 15 Tastemakers.

Fragments and Passions
My Fragments are stimulated from the passion of one artist to another showing a wide range of influences, including sources from the Renaissance to contemporary artists. Many of these works were the pornography of my childhood, and still today I look at them with the same curiosity of that child abandoned in the library.
My process starts with a collage made with the use of a computer. Observing works of art on the computer gives me the possibility of walking into a piece and stop where it provokes and excites me. The ideal model has already been created and has eternal form. I use it and destroy it purely for aesthetic reasons, recovering and bringing it out from the darkness, releasing it from its Baroque frame and putting it into contemporary context.

As an artist, her style has evolved through the years, mastering mediums such as: pencil, charcoals, watercolors, pastels and acrylics. Her most recent creations are interpretations of moments in the artist’s life expressed in passionate energized brush strokes of captivating hues. These are appropriately called, “Art of Life By Rebecca B.” A collection of paintings derived from the experiences in the artist’s life; life is what inspires her!

He has been a resident artist at Artwalk in Wynwood, Miami for many years. A major focus in Fred’s career today is to continue to establish himself as a top fashion editorial photographer. When asked to describe what it is about photography that inspires him, Fred explained, “I love telling a story or conveying a feeling through my photographs.

“Even before I was an artists I was a music fan. Music moves me, when I close my eyes I can feel the excitement that comes from the sound of the bass drum just as the performance is about to begin. It’s such a rush of emotions and it’s that feel, the way music transports me, that I hope my painting can express to other. I truly hope my paintings can bring others the kind of joy I find in music.” – Jessica Loren

GUEST EXHIBITOR – MIGUEL PAREDES

Miguel Paredes was born in New York in 1966. He is an artist and urban realist who combines the exhilarating sense of New York graffiti art with the skill and perceptiveness of a truly exceptional artist.

Growing up on 72nd Street in the Upper West Side of Manhattan, Paredes exuded early signs of artistic ability and accepted an invitation to New York City’s prestigious Fiorello La Guardia High School of Music and Art – immortalized in the musical and movie Fame – in the early 1980s. His studies at Fiorello coincided with the explosion of street culture in the city. Paredes drew inspiration from notorious pop artists like Andy Warhol and Keith Haring and plunged headlong into the world of graffiti and pop art taking the name “Mist” as his moniker.

Another influential figure in Paredes’ artistic career is his mentor, Ronnie Cutrone. Cutrone was Andy Warhol’s immediate assistant at the Factory during the notorious pop artist’s most productive and prestigious years. To Paredes, his mentor’s paintings are the essence of pop: colorful, lively and highly accessible. Cutrone’s constant use of bright and fluorescent colors not only influenced Warhol’s return to such hues, but shaped Paredes’ color palette choices as well. Paredes’ piece “Ronnie is that you?

Hello, this is Francisco Perez aka Pac23 and I’m a local artist/illustrator.

I’m reaching out to you guys to see if you would like to make a post of my solo art show at the moment going on at Kidrobot at the beach. It’s called “On The Grind” and it runs until the end of August. I’m not sure if you guys make posts for this kind of stuff, but it doesn’t hurt trying.

The flyer for the show is attached.

Here’s a link with pics of the figure – http://www.behance.net/gallery/Bob-Omb-Resin-Figures/9734913 and here’s a bit more info on it –

This is Pac23, artist from Kidrobot Dunny series 2012. Deep Blue Realm and I are collaborating on our first limited run of this 7 inch resin Bob-Omb. Sculpted and tooled by Deep Blue Realm, and hand painted by me. We’ll be doing runs of 6 per color way and each piece will be one of kind as each will be hand painted and hand tooled by us. We plan on releasing a few color ways following this release of the black Bob-Omb. Each will come individually numbered and in a hand crafted box along with a 6″x6″ print of the matching color way.

Release date will be September 2013.

Bob-Ombs will be $220 (national shipping included, international shipping please inquire).

The pink Bob-Omb (01 of 01) will be on sale at my “On The Grind” solo show (running from July through August) at the Kidrobot store in Miami.

For inquiries please contact us at buy.bobomb@gmail.com

Since it’s a limited release per color way it will be handled as a first come first served basis.

Now called Taste of the Nation South Florida and bigger than ever, this year the region’s premier culinary benefit is showcasing more than 50 fabulous restaurants from both Dade and Broward counties, the finest wines and spirits, and an impressive array of auction items. The much-anticipated event will take place Thursday, July 25, 2013, 7:00 p.m. – 10:00 p.m., in the spacious main ballroom of the Loews Miami Beach Hotel. Tickets, priced at $125 per person as well as VIP tickets priced at $250 per person and providing access to the event an hour before the doors open, are available at: www.tasteofthenation.org. One hundred percent of ticket sales go to Share Our Strength to fight childhood hunger.

“For the past 25 years Share Our Strength hosted two events in the region, Taste of the Nation Dade and Taste of the Nation Broward. Now Taste of the Nation supporters will be able to enjoy the best food and wine offerings from both counties at a larger event, for the price of one ticket,” notes Jamie Balhon, Southeast Regional Manager of Share Our Strength’s culinary events.

“This year’s event is creating a lot of excitement. Taste of the Nation South Florida is providing a much stronger platform for sponsors and is already generating a larger group of participating restaurants,” says the event’s Restaurant Chair, Chef Timon Baloo, of SUGARCANE raw bar grill, in Miami.

“We believe this year’s Taste of the Nation South Florida will attract not just more restaurant participants but a larger group of food and wine enthusiasts, and will continue to grow and flourish, which bodes well for raising the critical funds required to end childhood hunger in Dade and Broward counties,” says long-time Taste of the Nation Miami-Dade chairman, Chef Allen Susser, of Burger Bar and Chef Allen’s To-Go, in Miami.

An impressive mix of fine dining establishments is confirmed to participate. The list of restaurant participants to date includes: 3030 Ocean; Bianca at the Delano; Bloom Wynwood; Café Prima Pasta; Casa D’Angelo Fort Lauderdale; Dolce Italian; Edge Steak & Bar at Four Seasons; Florida Cookery; Gotham Steak & Bar at Fontainebleau Miami Beach; HaVen Gastro-Lounge; Joe’s Stone Crab restaurant; Katsuya; Lilikoi & Company; Khong River House; Little Palm Island; Makoto at Bal Harbour Shops; MC Kitchen; Meat Market; Milos by Costas Spiliadis;

PAINTER – Hector Figureoa

Born 1984 in New York City and Raised in Miami, H. Fig is emerging into the Art scene with his rediscovered passion for art.

Self taught artist, mostly drawing a sketching for himself or to gift a romantic interest, H. Fig started painting in 2012.

His influences growing up ,and still to this day, are street art and cartoons but has always had an appreciation for all art forms and mediums. His abstract approach to painting is done with bright colors on black backgrounds that allow the subject to matter to speak for itself.

Typically painting about human emotions and his spiritual beliefs, H. Fig paints using acrylics on canvas, wood panels and even mirrors.

Painting with his “soul and no formal training”, H.Fig’s abstract style of painting brings a unique voice to human emotion that stems from his life experience which he feels a wide audience can relate to.

PAINTER – Andrew Sloan

is an American-born, self-taught artist working from Miami, FL. His signature street-influenced, contemporary style with vibrant colors and bold outlines incorporates images and characters of daily life with elements of fashion, music, design, anthropology, architecture, and a variety of underground culture. Working much of the time on wood or canvas, Sloan also utilizes recycled objects, found materials, clothing and anything else that will hold ink and color.

First noticed in 1994 while doing manhole cover rubbings in the streets of Washington DC, Sloan’s exhibition history and gallery representation has grown exponentially in the past decade. First in Miami, through Damien B Contemporary Art Center (2005) and Art Miami (2006), then Paris (2008) and throughout New England from Burlington to Boston, Providence to Provincetown. In 2011, Sloan exhibited for the first time in Austin, Texas and returned to Paris for his second solo exhibition. He has been united in gallery shows and group exhibitions with many of today’s top contemporary artists, including Shepard Fairey, Phil Frost, Doze Green, Dave Kinsey and Jesse Reno.

Sloan has degrees in anthropology and marketing communications and a professional background in music, creative strategy, and print design. As tour manager for the Jamaican band, Israel Vibration in the 1990s, Sloan built an art history foundation from visits to the great museums of Europe, as well as, a large collection of street imagery, photographs and action illustrations.

Sloan is an active arts instructor, tutor, and community arts activist. He is a juried member of the Rhode Island State Council for the Arts Education Roster and a member of VSA Florida with intensive arts instruction experience with developmentally challenged youth and adults. In the last three years, with his wife Ursula, he has led more than a dozen 2D portrait and mural projects with a wide variety of grades and schools through short-term residencies and after-school/in-school programs, including Arts 4 Learning (2012-2013) and the Miami Children’s Museum (2012).

Sloan’s images and hand-drawn type have been used for signage, CD packaging, band backdrops, event flyers, t-shirts, print advertising, skate deck graphics, and, most recently, short-run editions of products incorporating his colorful creations. He has painted numerous large scale murals, both indoors and out, painted live at the Burton US Snowboard Championships, and has just completed a three painting commission for Hasbro Children’s Hospital in Providence.

Sloan is currently studying sculpture at O. Haligon Fine Art in Miami. His first works in 3D will be ready for Art Basel 2013.

for artists….BY ARTISTS Installation #70 will showcase the Mosaic Works of Carlos Alves & JC Carroll along with Swimwear Designer Fab Silberstein.

Here’s a little bit about the artists….

Carlos Alves
Alves kick-started his post-college career with a free flowing tile installation located on the floor and walls of the Art Center South Florida. The project eventually led to commissions by a number of public and private clients in the US, and from London, to Hong Kong.

Alves is now applying his artistry to large public and private artwork projects throughout the US and abroad. Located at The Palm Beach Court House, stands a 16’ Pineapple Sculpture on the Court House lawn as well as 6 tile murals and 10 benches depicting historical illustrations of Delray Beach. At the General Mitchell Airport Concourse “C” Floor, in Milwaukee Wisconsin there are 15 mosaic medallions from 3’to15’in diameter placed throughout a 2000 sq. foot terrazzo floor designed by Carlos. An entry floor at Fire Station #21 in Los Angeles California, and recently completed a Public Art Project at the Video Visitation Center and Palm Beach Sheriffs Office in Palm Beach County, and Verde Garden in Homestead, Fl.

Alves also enjoys projects with children and has accomplished many public artworks working with them. He feels that if his art works for kids then it really works. Impending is: The Dade County Children’s Courthouse. This project involves working with elementary school children to create the tiles. Carlos believes that creating public art requires striking a balance between personal expression and working within the parameters of the project. In his mind the artist needs to create a piece that can be appreciated by a wide range of people.

JC Carroll
Lives and works with her partner/ husband Carlos Alves in Miami, Florida. She is considered one of the original pioneers of South Beaches’ gentrification in the late 1980’s where she opened ART-ACT Performance Gallery. Having studied theater/ set design and fine art at the Wolfson Campus, FIU & interned at Coconut Grove Playhouse and Bellas Artes she opened ART-ACT to provide a space to further explore the burgeoning art scene of the time. ART-ACT brought to Miami Beach new and exciting artists like Tomata Du Plenty, and group shows from NYC’s Rivington School, COLAB, Ringling School & more. The theater concentrated on plays of great significance at the time, many based on Political/Civil/Gay rights and AIDS epidemic awareness holding countless fund raisers for the hopes of a cure. JC designed and created a majority of the set designs for these plays, and performed as well. The same values that went into the shows she produced goes into her visual art.

With the motto that everything and everyone was an art form JC produced / edited ART-ACT TV on WLRN Cable Tap. A 30 min. weekly show highlighting the art scene, local and international, as well as many countless colorful personalities. Upon returning to Miami she produced & edited “Live Wire” the off spring of Andrew Delaplaines’ Wire Magazine.

Fab Silberstein
A graduate of Miami International University of Art and Design . Fab Silberstein is on the rise to become one of the top swimwear designers of the near future. Her company La Belle Rebelle puts style in style as her Avant Garde spirit is showcased.

[Description]

The objective of ‘for artists..BY ARTISTS’ (www.facebook.com/forartistBYARTISTS) is to create a social colony for artists from all disciplines of the arts. We present a unique opportunity for painters, photographers, designers, sculptors and videographers to exhibit their works in a Large Digital Format environment. Selected artists gain access to utilize the technology of Haven and present their art in a dynamic presentation.

INSTALLATION # 69

LAELANIE LARACH www.laelanielarach.com

Laelanie Larach Nieves, a self-taught artist who at 15 made her first masterpiece ( Mysterious Forrest),was born in San Pedro Sula, Honduras.As the years went by,she began changing her style of painting and opted to fuse two of her passions, photography with abstract painting and the surreal style.

Each of her works has a different concept, but she predominantly uses bright colors, several textures and other techniques. Her inspiration for her work comes from different sources. It may be the open spaces, a sea breeze, or a profund silent that carries different levels of consciousness with a limitless reality; all is tranferred onto a canvas and all in done for the love of art.

The Colombian Youth Philharmonic, a.k.a.

The recording will be released on DVD.

Lead by the award-winning and masterful Alejandro Posada, who’s held principal and guest conductor roles in major orchestras throughout Europe and Latin America, the program will feature virtuoso Eduardo Rojas as piano soloist. The precocious Rojas was formerly the youngest dean in the history of Colombia to serve a music conservatory, and has collaborated with a host of internationally acclaimed orchestras and organizations. The music begins with a dress rehearsal where members of the media and select invitees will get a sneak peek of the show. The formal concert and VIP cocktail are to follow and will be attended by a who’s who of local and Colombian society. This program was made possible with the support of The Embassy of Colombia in Washington and the Consulate of Colombia in Miami, as part of Colombia’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs “Plan de Promoción de Colombia en el Exterior,” that promotes the country overseas through the diversity of its cultural expressions.

Edge Zones presents the second annual Miami Performance International Festival from June 1– 30, 2013. M/P ‘13 is an exciting four-week program of performance art accompanied by video screenings, talks and workshops that culminate in an intense 4-day event. The festival is a tremendous opportunity for the public to come face-to-face with the breadth and depth of performance art and offers visceral and challenging performance works by renowned, mid-career and emerging artists from 19 countries, as well as more than 40 national and local artists. This annual event provides a look at the creative process across a range of media, and presents cross-disciplinary, collaborative work that speaks to the high level of innovation, critical thinking, and social engagement in Miami. Events are free but availability is limited.

In celebration of Miami-Dade’s diverse art scene, works will be showcased by over 35 international artists across the city in a range of sites, including: the Miami Beach Botanical Gardens and at Edge Zones Projects at the Miami Design District.

Miami Performance International Festival ‘13 is a much-needed networking platform for the art community and brings together the most important curators, artists and arts organizations from Latin America, the Caribbean and around the world.

Curated by Charo Oquet, Miami; Eliu Almonte, Dominican Republic; Pancho Lopez, Mexico, Miami will be immersed in the participation of 70 international and local artists. Unlike theater and dance, all MP ‘13 performances have no designated areas nor are they presented on a stage, but rather on the floor, dissolving the boundary between the artists and viewers. 

Artists from the UK, Austria, USA, Dominican Republic, Argentina, Portugal, Mexico, Spain, Italy, Cuba, Panama, Canada, Colombia, France, Chile, Poland and Brazil.  This dialogue will continue throughout the year on Internet platforms through the Edge Zones and Miami Performance International Festival web portal (http://www.edgezones.org) and online blogs.
