MDC’s Cultura del Lobo Performance Series Presents Last Meadow
The Colony Theater
1040 Lincoln Road
Miami Beach
Mining scenes from James Dean’s East of Eden, Rebel without a Cause and Giant films, Miguel Gutierrez and the Powerful People reach back fifty years to portray an America where the jig is up and the dream has died. Miami Dade College’s (MDC) acclaimed Cultura del Lobo Performance Series will present this powerful work, titled Last Meadow, on Friday and Saturday, Mar. 25 – 26, at The Colony Theater in Miami Beach.
Last Meadow, which earned a 2010 Bessie Award, is set to a collage-like score created by composer Neal Medlyn and lighting by longtime collaborator Lenore Doxsee. With gorgeous dance passages, monologues and action, the show expresses longing and frustration in ways that words cannot. Gutierrez is accompanied onstage by Powerful People performers Michelle Boulé and Tarek Halaby.
“This is the most experimental performance that we are presenting this year,†said Elizabeth Doud, Cultura del Lobo’s artistic director. “Gutierrez’s work is important because it represents a young American voice that is directly questioning not only social norms but also norms in artistic practice. He is an intrepid dance maker who isn’t overly concerned with the aesthetics of beauty, but delivers a blend of dance-poetry that is unapologetic and irreverent, yet endearing in image, movement and voice.â€
“We are proud to include Gutierrez’s work in the Cultura del Lobo Performance Series and stand behind emerging artists and their risk taking,†she added.
This presentation of Last Meadow is supported by the National Performance Network, which provides support for established and emerging artists in dance, music, theatre, performance art, puppetry and spoken word.
The Cultura del Lobo Performance Series is an MDC initiative, through the Cultural Affairs Department. It was originally conceived as a play on the name of the downtown campus (Wolfson) and the adventurous spirit of the college’s programs, and has a celebrated history of featuring international and culturally specific work, both traditional and contemporary, which would not otherwise be seen in this region. In fact, two recent Grammy Award winners – Esperanza Spalding and the Spanish Harlem Orchestra – were featured artists in the series.
Tickets for Last Meadow are $20 – $25 for general admission; students and seniors $18. MDC students, faculty and staff with proper ID receive a discount.
For more information, please contact MDC Cultural Affairs Department.

Friday, March 18, 6:30 p.m.
1680 Michigan Avenue
Miami Beach, FL. 33139
The Foundation “Empresarios por Colombia” (FEC), (Entrepreneurs for Colombia) was established on March 4, 2004, as the realization of the dream of Claudia Patricia Acosta and John Mauricio Escobar Latorre Jimenez, a working marriage devoted to generating social change and progress in Colombia. The two are committed to organizing charity projects aimed at social interest and common progress. FEC directs its efforts, human resources, technical and financial support in the creation and effective implementation of production programs to generate incomes for small and medium-size entrepreneurs. That is why ORIGINES was born, a company that is dedicated to promoting, exhibiting and selling Colombian products inside and outside the country.

Admission is free for members, $8 for adults and $6 for seniors and students with ID.
PechaKucha was devised in Tokyo in February 2003. Drawing its name from the Japanese term for the sound of “chit chatâ€, it rests on a presentation format that is based on a simple idea: 20 images x 20 seconds. During wine, wander, wonder at the bass museum of art, panelists will be discussing the slow art movement, dedicated to realizing the idea that “if you look slowly, you will see.â€

myra wexler | musing with myra

kathleen carignan, esq | legalart
karelle levy | stitching bitches
dr. adrienne von lates, phd | bass museum of art
kerry mclaney | miami independent thinkers
dennis leyva | miami beach art in public places
www.pecha-kucha.org/night/miami/10
The Bass Museum of Art in Miami Beach will host a PechaKucha, a creative networking event, exploring the local Slow Art Movement on Saturday, March 19th from 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. as part of the museum’s monthly Wine, Wander, and Wonder program. PechaKucha is a Japanese inspired event for creatives to meet, network and share their work in public.
With 20 Power Point slides shown for 20 seconds each, local thought leaders – Myra Wexler (Musing with Myra), Jason Hedges (Artist), Kathleen Carignan, Esq (LegalArt Residency Program), Karelle Levy (Stitching Bitches), Dr. Adrienne Von Lates (Bass Museum of Art), Kerry McLaney (Miami Independent Thinkers), Dennis Leyva (Miami Beach Art in Public Spaces) – will have about seven minutes to talk about developing conversations and community issues around their passion in the arts.
A wine reception available to all attendees will immediately follow the presentation.
About Slow Art
Slow Art Day started in 2009 as an experimental program with the hypothesis to see if it was possible to make great art more enjoyable and accessible to the general public – i.e. to share the “secret” that art experts, curators, educators, artists and others know: that if you look slowly, you will see. The end goal is to create “inspired, not tired” art experiences that keep audiences engaged. www.slowartday.com/index.html
About PechaKucha
PechaKucha was conceived in Tokyo in February 2003 by architects Mark Dytham and Astrid Klein as an event where young designers could meet, network and show their work in public. Over time, it has evolved into a massive celebration of creativity with over 380 cities represented hosting 900 events last year. The combined power of these cities equates to an incredible 10,000 presentations and 200,000 PechaKucha attendees annually.
Drawing its name from the Japanese phrase for the sound of conversation (“chit chat”), the PechaKucha format is simple—20 images x 20 seconds—and designed to keep presentations concise and moving at a rapid pace. www.pecha-kucha.org/cities/miami

Community and corporate champions will join Comcast and City Year Miami to celebrate the work of 82 young leaders who dedicate a full year of tutoring and mentoring in Miami-Dade County’s most challenged public schools.
City Year Miami deploys 82 exceptional young leaders, known as corps members, to dedicate one full year of service in local schools and the community. Corps members work towards lowering the high school dropout rate by serving in eight of Miami-Dade County’s lowest performing schools. Since its inception to our community in 2008, City Year Miami corps members have served over 160,000 hours each year to Miami-Dade County.

The critical support of government, individuals, foundations and corporate partners have allowed City Year Miami to serve over thousands of students throughout Miami-Dade County Public Schools over its first three years of operations. Proceeds raised from this event will allow City Year to grow its program reach for the 2011-2012 school year.
“We are truly excited to host City Year Miami’s closest champions and supporters on a night when we celebrate the work of our 82 corps members who are everyday heroes to the students we serve in Miami–Dade County schools,†said Saif Y.

arteamericas brings the best Latin American art to Miami for the 9th year in a row.
arteaméricas, the premier fair of art from Latin America, will be returning for its ninth consecutive year. Starting on Friday, March 25th through Monday, March 28th, 2011, arteaméricas will showcase the latest trends in paintings, sculpture and multimedia from contemporary artists as well as renowned masters at the Miami Beach Convention Center.
“arteaméricas has been the most respected Latin American art fair since it’s inception. We’re proud of this distinction, and for that reason, we raise our standards every year, create innovative projects and recruit the best galleries out there,†says Leslie PantÃn, President of arteaméricas.
The best galleries from all over Latin America, the United States, the Caribbean, Canada and Europe will be participating. The four-day arteaméricas event will feature works by internationally recognized artists and sculptors. Likewise, vanguard contemporary artists will be on hand in order to exhibit their works as the latest in Latin American modern art.
arteaméricas will be a place where art collectors and art professionals alike will gather among the present trends in paintings, sculptures, and conceptual art multimedia that distinguish the region’s art. In 2011, the fair will have close to fifty galleries taking up more than 80 spaces and showcasing more than 300 artists. The artists represented by the galleries hail from every country in the Americas and Spain. This year, the fair organizers are developing a special tribute to Mexico.
“For 2011, we envision better sales for our galleries,†stated Emilio Calleja, Vice President of the fair. “The economy is improving; the art from Latin American is getting more exposure and a gaining higher value. Our primary goal is to ensure that our galleries are satisfied with the outcome of their participation.â€
As in past years, arteaméricas has set up a Selection Committee, consisting of Julia Herzberg, an internationally renowned curator from New York; Angel Felix, Director of the Cultural Program of the Interamerican Development Bank; and Leonor Amarante, an acknowledged curator and critic from Brazil. Carol Damian, Director of the Frost Museum, has been in the committee since the fair’s first year and is a member once again. All four carefully evaluate every gallery and their artists, in order to continue to raise the quality of the fair.
Conceived and organized by Dr. Herzberg, arteaméricas 2011 will bring back Art Talks, a series of four discussion tables aimed at furthering the understanding of the visual arts, biennial productions and collecting practices. The panels are structured to promote reflection and critical analysis of issues relevant to biennial directors, curators and artists, as well as the formation of private and public collections. Topics will include: Contemporary Art Scene; Biennials; Private Collectors and Public Collections; and Diverse Artistic Voices.
Art Talks 2011 will take place in the newly-created Salón arteaméricas. This area will have theater-type seating where lectures will also be presented to the fair’s attendees. Lecturers will include Carol Damian and Ricardo Pau-Llosa, among others. Salón arteaméricas will also be showing video art throughout the fair’s four day run, in addition to book presentations.
In 2011, arteaméricas will introduce its NewArt section, featuring an exhibition by the Miami Art Museum. This special project will highlight works of new and upcoming artists in the Latin American art scene. In addition, the fair is organizing a curated space that will depict the violence in Central America through the eyes of artists, as well as a curated space specially created for Cuban art.

A One Of A Kind Multi-Sensory Experience
Featuring Grammy Awarding Winning Artist “Dirty Vegas†At The Miami New World Symphony’s New World Center
Incorporating stimulation of the five senses, Synesthesia featuring Dirty Vegas presents a one of a kind experience never before seen in the United States.

Setting Synesthesia apart from any other event is its fusion between DJ and live orchestra performance as well as its incorporation of the five senses:
HEAR, the state-of-the-art performance hall was designed under the supervision of Grammy Award winning conductor Michael Tilson Thomas and critically acclaimed architect Frank Gehry to maximize the listener’s experience
SEE, Laurence Gartel, the father of digital art, and Psyberpixie VJ will use 280-degree projection capabilities to enhance visual experience
SMELL, the inclusion of scent creating technologies to enhance the overall experience

First Elite-only, Luxury Lifestyle Online Magazine, ‘VIP MAGAZINE’ to be Launched
March, 19th
LIV, Miami
www.VIPMagazines.com , the first luxury lifestyle online magazine designed exclusively for the elite will be launched this Saturday, March 19th at LIV, Miami.
Created by Michael Martin, Miami’s most influential promoter, VIPMagazines.com will suggest its upper-crust readers only the best, most sought-after places to eat, party and shop in Miami.
‘As a promoter, I have been working closely with a very demanding, influential clientele of both locals and jet-setters who fly off to Miami for the weekend. The idea of launching VIP Magazines had been on my mind for quite some time now, because while no existing magazine really reflects what Miami has best to offer, the market is huge.’ CEO of VIP Magazines Michael Martin says.
Targeted to a wealthy audience of socialites in search of the finest, trendiest entertainment, VIPMagazines.com will later offer a premium concierge service, allowing its members to have access to the most private venues and events.
With similarly high demand from socialites from throughout the Nation, VIP-Magazine will expand to New York City and Los Angeles in the coming months, with local teams covering and developing each edition.
‘Vip-Magazines is like no other existing magazine because of its top level of quality, its concept, and its unique services to members that will follow shortly after the launch. We feel very confident that the NYC and LA versions of VIP Magazines will be very successful also’, Marketing director for VIP Magazines Elisea Nir Wolff Said.
South Beach Meets Sicily at the 6th Annual Sicilian Film Festival
April 7 to 13, 2011
The Miami Beach Cinematheque
City Hall
1130 Washington Avenue
Miami Beach, 33139
The most important cultural and social experience about Sicily in the world welcomes you for the 6th time!
For schedules, times, and all information visit www.SicilianFilmFestival.com
Visit us on Facebook: “Official Sicilian Film Festival”
Salvo Vincent Bitonti (Artistic Director), Laura Delli Colli (Cinema Journalist/Presenter), Franco Nero (Actor), and Emanuele Viscuso (President)
at the Gran Hotel Excelsior Venice Lido, Venice, Italy
For six days in April, the mercury will rise as South Beach meets Sicily at the 6th Annual Sicilian Film Festival (SFF) – April 7 to 13, 2011. The screenings will be held at the recently inaugurated Miami Beach Cinematheque located at the Historic City Hall, 1130 Washington Avenue, Miami Beach, 33139. It will be a feast for all senses and party for all, showcasing the best of Sicily: cinema, literature, art, fashion, food and wine, culture, history, and people.
Spearheaded by founder and president, Emanuele Viscuso, the SFF has grown from a small festival, developed in only a few weeks’ time, to the grand event it is today – an internationally recognized film festival organized and supported by contributors located around the globe.
An idea into action strengthened through partnership
The idea emerged after Viscuso received a request, from the Regione Siciliana (the Sicilian Film Commission) and by the Cultural Association, Ragusani nel Mondo, to showcase in Miami the works of Sicilian film directors. Describing his vision for the first festival held in 2006, he stated: “I imagined a kind of festival able to combine films and culture, entertainment and friendship, information and communication. From that moment real miracles started happening. Incredible supporters appeared magically. Instinctive love and tremendous appreciation for this idea were revealed by friends and sponsors. Extremely important people and institutions offered their help. Many professionals were happy to participate with their work and sustain. All this happened in a few days. I can say, I eye witnessed a miracle.â€
Viscuso brings to the SFF a legacy of artistic contributions. Born in Palermo, Sicily, he is an artist and a cultural events organizer and promoter. His most famous piece is the 45 foot large sculpture Wave-Bridge On The Imaginary located at the Milan Malpensa international airport. His activity and international recognition goes from the field of music, design, art, photography, poetry, to architecture, urban planning and social causes. He represents private and public cultural institutions. He is also the founder of the International Festival of Organ Music in the Churches of the Historic Princedom of Castelbuono, Sicily. Viscuso has taken part in the Esperia STS-120/10A Mission, launched on October 23, 2007 from the NASA’s Kennedy Space Centre in Florida as delegate in Florida of Accademia Italiana della Cucina, a Cultural Institution of the Italian Republic. Thanks to his proposal and support on board the Space Shuttle Discovery, Node 2 – the interconnecting unit developed in Italy by Thales Alenia Space – and the ESA, the Italian Paolo Nespoli and other astronauts started their journey towards the International Space Station (ISS) bringing with them Italian and Sicilian food to offer to the other astronauts on the Station in orbit. The City of Miami Beach, where he has resided since November 2000, presented him with the Key to the City on October 17, 2007 as recognition for his cultural commitment to the community.
Salvo Bitonti is now entering his fourth year as Artistic Director for the SFF. Born in Syracuse, Sicily, he is a director, screenwriter and professor of theatre and film direction at the Albertina Academy of Fine Arts in Turin and at Foggia University. He graduated in Greek drama from Bologna University. He has directed over forty plays in the most important theatres of Italy (Piccolo Teatro di Milano, Teatro Quirino, Rome), as well as in national (Todi Festival; Magna Grecia Festival, Taranto; Baroque Arts Festival, Genova) and international festivals in Tunisia, France. Spain and Egypt. An experimental director, he has researched the relationship between cinema and theatre, creating performances characterized by the use of multimedia on stage. He has also experimented with a contemporary interpretation of classical drama, especially Greek tragedy and lyrical theatre. He collaborates with the National Institute of Greek Drama, in Syracuse. His most notable awards include: Fiuggi Platea Award, as best director; City of Siracuse Theatre Award for his career. He is the author of Dioniso & Pirandello (Rome 1999) and has written articles on theatre and cinema for important Italian magazines such as Primafila and Parol. His short Phaedra, was screened in many international festivals and at the 2007 Sicilian Film Festival, it won the award as best short film. His last short is Helen, featuring Franco Nero and Mita Medici was presented in 2009 at the Kodak Theatre, Hollywood, CA during the Los Angeles – Italia Film Festival.
A masterpiece of creative ingenuity
Featured films will be a selection of Sicily’s finest:
L’imbroglio nel lenzuolo (The Trick in the Sheets): by Alfonso Arau, with Maria Grazia Cucinotta and Geraldine Chaplin, et al.
Brief Synopsis: 1905 – Cinematography has reached Southern Italy and casts fear among the peasants who believe it is a devilish trick. They call it “l’imbroglio nel lenzuolo†(the trick in the sheet, as sheets were used as makeshift projection screens.) Marianna, an illiterate sorceress, finds out that she will be featured in a 6-minute long movie called “La casta Susanna†(“Chaste Susannaâ€) who will either enchant or enrage the audience with a spectacle of her bathing naked in a lake. Unsure of exactly what a cinematographer does, she cannot understand how her own image can be on the screen and believes that this “double†is someone like her trying to ruin her reputation among the villagers. “L’imbroglio nel lenzuolo†is a sensual comedy that will please all audiences.
Viola di mare (The Sea Purple): by Donatella Maiorca, with Valeria Solarina and Isabella Ragonese. Presented at the Venice Film Festival 2009
Brief Synopsis: Angela, isn’t like the other girls of her same age. She runs, smokes and fears nothing and nobody. All her feelings are for the young Sara. A forbidden relationship in a 19th century Sicily. Only a deceit – changing her outward appearance, disguising herself as a man – might be a solution.
Fughe e approdi (Getaways and Landings): A documentary by Giovanna Taviani presented at the Venice Film Festival
Brief Synopsis: Based on Taviani’s memories, the film documents life of fishermen and quarry workers living and working in the region surrounding the Aeolian islands during Fascist Italy.
Baaria: by Giuseppe Tornatore
Brief Synopsis: From the acclaimed director of Cinema Paradiso, comes an epic saga of life and death, love and hatred in a vibrant Sicilian town in the first half of the twentieth century. This film was nominated for Golden Globe in 2010.
Father: by Pasquale Squitieri with Franco Nero and Claudia Cardinale
An intellectual buffet
Film, literature, conversation, and food will converge.
“Sicilian Cinema’s Taste From Leopard to Baarìa†– An evening with recipes ‘stolen’ from the screen – a lecture by Laura Delli Colli, famous Italian cinema journalist and author of “The Cinema’s Taste” followed by a dinner featuring Sicilian dishes inspired by scenes from Lucino Visconti’s Leopard; Giuseppe Tornatore’s Baaria; and Donatella Maiorca’s Viola di Mare.
A bridge connecting two worlds
Through a cooperative effort by the Roberto Granata Foundation and the Sicilian Film Festival, a photographic exhibit titled: “Roberto Granata: Sicilian Photographer in Hollywood†will bring a touch of Hollywood glamour to South Florida. The display is a collection of Granata’s portraits of favorite celebrities such as: Anne Hathaway, Andie MacDowell, Robert De Niro, Diane Keaton, and Isabella Rossellini. Granata’s Foundation helps to support orphaned children in areas of the world that have been struck by earthquakes.
April 7, 2011 will be declared “Sicilian Film Festival Day†by the City of Miami Beach. In speaking about the 2010 SFF, Matti Herrera Bower, Mayor of Miami Beach, stated: “We recognize that through theatre, music and art, and love, boundaries are traversed and all nations learn to share each other’s works and get to understand and appreciate their different cultures. I believe [the Sicilian Film Festival] does a great deal for international relations.â€
The evening will bring a ‘red carpet affair’ presenting directors and actors from each of the films including: Giovanna Taviani, Pasquale Squitieri, Franco Nero, Claudia Cardinale, Valeria Solarino, Isabella Ragonese, Donatella Maiorca, and Giuseppe Tornatore.
With the generous support of many and through a variety of presentations and events, the 6th Sicilian Film Festival will offer everyone an affordable, but stylish cultural experience served South Beach style!

‘Art For All: British Posters For Transport’
Explores The Evolution Of Transport Posters In Twentieth-Century Britain
members’ preview and reception
April 14, 2011 at 6pm
The Wolfsonian
1001 Washington Avenue
Miami Beach, FL
Exhibition to Open at The Wolfsonian–FIU April 15, 2011
Art for All presents more than eighty masterpieces from the Yale Center for British Art, many of them donated to the Yale Center by Henry S. Hacker, Yale College, Class of 1965. In addition, the installation will include works from The Wolfsonian collection that complement the exhibition. To inaugurate the show, The Wolfsonian is hosting a members’ preview and reception on April 14, 2011 at 6pm, featuring introductory remarks by the exhibition’s curator, Teri J. Edelstein.
The Wolfsonian–Florida International University presents Art for All: British Posters for Transport, an exhibition that explores the evolution of transport posters in twentieth-century Britain, and features outstanding examples executed for both the London Underground and the British railways. The exhibition, on view from April 15, 2011 through August 14, 2011, is organized by the Yale Center for British Art.
Art for All traces the changing graphic styles from the second decade of the twentieth century through the 1970s and highlights specific features such as the career of Edward McKnight Kauffer, the work of women artists, how the posters were initially displayed, and the larger implications of these advertising campaigns. “Art for All continues The Wolfsonian’s exploration of the role that graphic design—and design in general—plays in shaping our everyday life experiences,†notes Sarah Schleuning, The Wolfsonian’s curator. “The London Underground’s diverse yet distinct advertising campaign to encourage ridership and promote goodwill among citizens is considered one of the landmark design programs in modern history.â€
In 1908 under the leadership of Frank Pick, the London Underground (later, London Transport), began a promotional campaign that became one of the most successful, adventurous, and best sustained branding operations ever attempted. The posters commissioned by Pick engendered goodwill and encouraged ridership on the public transport system. They also helped to foster a civic identity for the city of London.
A string of major artists, including Edward McKnight Kauffer, Frederick Herrick, Hans Schleger, and Anna Zinkeisen worked for Pick. From 1923—when numerous British railway companies were amalgamated into four lines: the Great Western Railway (GWR), the London and North Eastern Railway (LNER), the London, Midland and Scottish Railway (LMS) and the Southern Railway (SR)—until the nationalization of the railways in 1948, the “Big Four†followed Pick’s lead in mounting their own poster campaigns. While none of the British rail lines matched the scope and ambition of the Underground campaign, some of the same artists, such as Kauffer, and Walter Spradbery, also designed for the mainline railways. Other no less gifted artists, such as Tom Purvis and Frank Newbould, created extraordinary graphics for the railways.
The title of the show, Art for All, is taken from an exhibition held at the Victoria and Albert Museum in 1948 (organized by the V&A and London Transport), which featured original works of art, the maquettes for the posters. This exhibition contains the art truly seen by all: the posters themselves.

The passion and inherent fun of a young man finding his way to art clearly define the colorful paintings of the late Jacques Faifer. An artist who first saw the beginning of a life-long love of the arts in 1931 when at the age of 8 he entered a Montmartre department store drawing contest and won first prize, it was several years later that his colorful oils and sculptures were to take him to such major Paris galleries and antique stores as La Triade and Drouet on the Rue du Fauborg Saint-Honore, Les Independents at Place des Vosges, Rec on Rue Charlemagne, La Palette d’ Or and to such prominent Deauville galleries as the Royal and Danilelle Gautier.
With a life defined by World War II where he hid in a monastery in the south of France as a member of the French Resistance providing false IDs for Jewish people to escape the Nazi-occupied country, Faifer, returned to his love of painting, frequently to be found at Paris’ famed Cligancourt Flea Market area where he shared the worlds of such famed contemporaries as Alain Bonnefoit, Henry Lantier, Siniecky, Monique Morelli, Aragon, and Leo Ferre. As a true “Bon Vivant” and through his favorites themes of clowns, the circus, the carnival and, not surprisingly, erotic nudes, Faifer established himself as one of the most important and endearing artists of his time.

Peggy Levison Nolan (Thanks, But I’m) Just Looking
Reception for the Artist: Thursday March 10, 6-9pm
Dina Mitrani Gallery
Open Second Saturday Wynwood Art Walk,
March 12, 2-9pm
March 10 – April 23, 2011
Dina Mitrani Gallery is proud to present Peggy Levison Nolan: (Thanks, But I’m) Just Looking opening with a reception for the artist on Thursday, March 10, 2011 from 6 – 9pm. This is Nolan’s second solo exhibition at the gallery and will be on view through April 23, 2011.
Continuing her search for beauty and poetry in life’s ordinariness, Nolan exhibits various photographic formats illustrating her almost obsessive act of observing what is around her on a daily basis. She explores the concept of narrative in her series of photographs of the amaryllis flowers that grow in her backyard. This series, approximately thirty 8 x 8 inch prints, depicts her investigative way of looking, studying the everyday phenomenon of nature’s life cycles. Another way the artist is probing her process is by experimenting with the panoramic format. With these rectangular images, she is able to obtain more information within the camera’s frame, capturing more life and its details. In this exhibition, we see new formats alongside her signature square format photographs, but Nolan is still capturing everyday people, places and things in a manner that makes them worthy of our special attention.
Nolan’s work is included in collections such as the MOMA in New York, the San Francisco MOMA and the National Museum of Women in the Arts in Washington DC. Her work was most recently exhibited at the Miami Art Museum, and has just been acquired by the Harn Museum at the University of Florida. She participated in By and About Women, a portfolio of 10 photographs that included notable women photographers such as Helen Levitt, Carrie May Weems and Mary Ellen Mark. Nolan has received numerous grants and awards including the South Florida Cultural Consortium Fellowship and has been teaching photography at Florida International University for over 10 years.

Winter Party Festival 2011: The Hottest Winter in the World
March 2 – 7, 2011
Academy Award winning actress Marlee Matlin will be the guest of honor at Winter Party Festival’s VIP Cocktail Reception, Saturday, March 5, beginning at 7:30 p.m. at the Bass Museum of Art, 2100 Collins Avenue, Miami Beach. Joining Matlin will be Rea Carey, executive director of the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force, as well as Winter Party sponsors and VIPs. Tickets to the reception are also available to the public.
Matlin won the Academy Award for her performance in “Children of a Lesser God.†At 21, she became the youngest recipient of the Best Actress Oscar and only one of four actresses to receive the honor for her film debut. In addition to the Oscar, Matlin received the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Drama. In 2007, she joined the cast of Showtime Network’s groundbreaking series “The L Word†for three seasons.
“We are thrilled to welcome Ms. Matlin as our special guest at this year’s VIP Reception,†said Chad Richter, Festival chairperson. “Not only is she an accomplished actress but also she’s a successful author and noted humanitarian, donating her time for several important causes, including the American Red Cross, Easter Seals, and the Children Affected By AIDS Foundation. We look forward to hosting her at the reception.â€
Produced by the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force, Winter Party Festival raises funds to build power, take action and create change for the LGBT community. Two-thirds of the net proceeds generated from Winter Party Festival go to work locally through grants administered by the Miami Foundation (formerly the Dade Community Foundation), while the remaining one third goes to support The Task Force’s efforts nationally. Since its inception in 1994, Winter Party Festival, along with The Task Force’s annual Recognition Dinner, has raised more than $2.2 million for LGBT organizations in South Florida.
Tickets to the VIP Reception are $85 in advance and $100 at the door and include hors d’oeuvres courtesy of Vita by Bâoli in Miami Beach and cocktails courtesy of GREY GOOSE. Tickets for the VIP Reception as well as for other events are also available as part of discounted, multi-event passes.

About The National Gay and Lesbian Task Force:
The mission of the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force is to build the grassroots power of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community. We do this by training activists, equipping state and local organizations with the skills needed to organize broad-based campaigns to defeat anti-LGBT referenda and advance pro-LGBT legislation, and building the organizational capacity of our movement. Our Policy Institute, the movement’s premier think tank, provides research and policy analysis to support the struggle for complete equality and to counter right-wing lies. As part of a broader social justice movement, we work to create a nation that respects the diversity of human expression and identity and creates opportunity for all.

The five Miami artists in this exhibition have adapted work for the Miami Beach Regional Library using processes that, like library cataloging, identify and re-process information that has already been codified or mediated. Using photographs, prints, video, altered film, and hand-dyed and embroidered fabric, they bring viewers into a new relationship with words and images from the news, philosophical ideas, reproductions of art historical works from fine art books, the natural environment as organized into civic parks, and an absent character re-invented through a series of videotaped interviews.

Miami Beach SoundScape & ExoStage at Miami Beach SoundStage

Miami Beach, FL 33139
(in the park east of the New World Center)
Under the stars and in Miami Beach’s gorgeous new technological-and-environmental marvel, Miami International Film Festival is proud to present a magical evening with a sneak preview of the HBO Documentary Film “The Sound of Mumbai: A Musicalâ€. This all-ages spectacular will be screened on the 7,000 sq ft. projection wall of the newly opened Frank Gehry building, the New World Center.
Director Sarah McCarthy is scheduled to attend the Miami Beach screening.
“The Sound of Mumbai: A Musical” will debut on HBO later this year.
The Sound of Mumbai: A Musical
“The Sound of Music†with its imagery of mountains and edelweiss may seem far removed from India’s Maximum City, but this film begs to differ. Director Sarah McCarthy follows the transformative experiment of the Bombay Chamber Orchestra as they recruit children from the Mumbai slums — home to half the city’s population — for a one-night performance of the beloved Rodgers & Hammerstein musical. “The Sound of Mumbai: A Musical†marvelously conveys the timeless and international appeal of tunes such as “Do, Re, Mi†and “My Favorite Things†as performed by these kids. At the center of the story is the 11-year-old Ashish whose wide smile and optimism can melt the coldest heart. With so many hopes riding on this single performance, the stakes are high for everyone.

ONA, now in its second decade, has raised nearly $17.5 million for charities throughout the United States.
About Frank Worth
As a freelance photographer during Hollywood’s Golden Age, Frank Worth befriended many of the stars he snapped at parties, on movie sets and at play. But he stored away many of his best shots as private mementos until the day he died. Only now are this largely unknown artist’s remarkable images finally coming to light.
With his gregarious, big-hearted, outsize personality, photographer Frank Worth befriended Hollywood’s biggest names in the 1940s and 1950s, gaining access to their most private moments. He bonded with James Dean over their mutual love of fast cars, hung out with Sinatra and the Rat Pack, took photos at Elizabeth Taylor’s first wedding and charmed a young Marilyn Monroe.
He photographed the stars at work, at home and at play, from glitzy parties and awards shows to casual outings at Dodger Stadium and trips to Las Vegas. These weren’t the cloak-and-dagger stalkerazzi photos of today; the stars enjoyed Worth’s company and he had and instinctual knack for getting them to let their guards down, comfortable enough so that he could snap Rita Hayworth sunbathing in her garden or James Dean talking on the phone while taking a pee.
Worth amassed an intimate pictorial history of Hollywood in the boxes strewn about his cramped apartment in West Hollywood and that’s where they remained, almost unseen by the public, until he died at age 77 in 2000, close to penniless.

Amir “Questlove” Thompson is perhaps one of the best known living musicians who is not the lead singer of a band. He broke onto the scene as the founder and drummer of the hip hop band The Roots in the mid 1990s, but his love affair with music began at a very early age. The son of touring musicians who didn’t want to leave him behind as a young child, Questlove grew up on a steady diet of doo-wop, tour buses, and backstage passes. He began performing at his parents shows by the age 7 and was the musical director by the age of 13. He established The Roots by the time he was in high school and the rest is history as they say.
As a drummer and producer he has worked with nearly everyone, from Erykah Badu, Jay-Z, N.E.R.D, to Fiona Apple, Dilated People’s, and Common just to name a few. As a DJ he has released the compilation Questlove Presents: Babies Making Babies and played more venues than we have time to list.

Born in 1948 and now in his third decade as a professional performing artist, E continues to nurture his passion for the Blues. Growing up in New York, he discovered his purpose at the age of 13, when he was drawn to the sounds of Acoustic Blues, and got his first harmonica when he discovered Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee. In the 70s, 80s and 90s, he developed his singer/songwriting talents, as well as an aptitude for playing other instruments beautifully… His specialty was the blues harp. He established himself as a ground-breaking harmonica player, and became a percussionist with Hodges, James and Smith (back in the early 70s) as well as a studio musician with Bolic Sound Studios, playing behind Ike and Tina Turner. He also played percussions on Sussex Records with Bobbi Hall behind Bill Withers in 1971 through 1974. In the 80s, he moved to Chicago where he played with the likes of John Prine, Jo Mapes, and Joseph Jarman.
While family and other commitments would interrupt his career, E always returned to his roots in blues, and 2000 saw the release of his second album, “The First Time Out”, an extraordinary recording that was an eclectic mix of ten original compositions comprising Blues, R&B, Jazz, Delta and Gospel. In 2002, E hit his stride, adding his exceptional harmonica skills and powerful vocals to the mix. He delivers charismatic, compelling, and passionate performances that are charged with emotion and filled with his authentic signature style. Always experimenting with new sounds, he sometimes makes bold, daring renditions of obscure tunes of legendary icons such as Robert Johnson, Howlin’ Wolf, Muddy Waters and John Lee Hooker, adding his unique spin to them.
2006 was a creative year for E, what with three albums released and building his own record label, Black Owl Music. While his albums showcase the sensual range of his vocals and the use of his voice as an incredibly multi-faceted instrument, it is his haunting harp signature style that captivates and inspires his audience. “Mississippi Reminiscence” is the most personal of his work, and “Five Long Years: A Tribute To Carey Bell” has been hailed as sheer unadulterated blues.
