David Castillo Gallery presents Lost Boys: Dogan Arslanoglu and Johnny Laderer Reception
Saturday, July 13, 7 – 11 pm
David Castillo Gallery
2234 NW 2nd Avenue
Miami, FL 33127

David Castillo Gallery presents Lost Boys: DoÄŸan ArslanoÄŸlu & Johnny Laderer, curated by Claudia Mattos.

Lost Boys contends with autobiographical space; a type of space, both physical and not, defined by personal experience.

ArslanoÄŸlu’s photography and Laderer’s sculpture appropriate mundane imagery and materials to map personal and memorial experience. They create actual and aspirational sites, charting when, where, and with whom they have been. Articulated within these spaces is a nostalgia evidenced in location: a sense of home, particularly situated in Florida. The pieces in this show function as souvenirs, commemorating and bearing witness to times past and present. This is a cartographic exercise of identity.

Drawing a reference to Peter Pan’s Lost Boys, the show focuses on an exploration of youth and masculinity to draw out a notion of memory, experience, and home; in the end, the Lost Boys find home.

ArslanoÄŸlu approaches his subjects with a vernacularism that renders them placeless. These are images of his immediate surroundings and experiences; he is the unpictured subject of every scene. And this imagery becomes a log of sorts, charting the places — the friends, girlfriends, and experiences — where his camera has followed. He maps a personal narrative. Free from identifying markers, these images could have been taken anywhere.

Johnny Laderer, Personal Best 1, 2013.

Laderer’s practice departs from a more value-laden note: he creates work with found or discarded objects, or (put more simply) junk. The road is imperative to Laderer’s collecting of objects and ideas, and his materials reference his movement throughout the state. He is a magpie, claiming trophies along the way. Laderer’s is a practice of re-creating, re-staging, and re-claiming his and Florida’s past.
ArslanoÄŸlu’s and Laderer’s objects serve as the spaces for memory, allowing glimpses into a greater mapping of personal experience. And they are Lost Boys insofar as they attempt to find home, wherever (or whomever or whenever) that may be.

DoÄŸan ArslanoÄŸlu received his BFA from Florida International University in 2012. In the spring of 2013 ArslanoÄŸlu participated in the Wassaic Artist Residency in Wassaic, NY, and this fall he will be starting his MFA in photography at Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, NY.

Johnny Laderer received his BFA from Florida State University in 2009. Laderer has participated in group shows at the Hollywood Art and Culture Center, Hollywood, FL; Miami Beach Urban Studios, Miami Beach, FL; among others. Both artists live and work in Miami, FL.

After 38 Years, Henry Stone returns to Booty Shakin’ with Booty Shakin’ Time by Jake the Dog

Posted on July 9, 2013July 9, 2013 by none

Henry Stone is back with the Booty! The newest release from Henry Stone Music – “Booty Shakin’ Time” – recalls the first “Shake Your Booty” almost 40 years ago.

Word from Henry Stone: 38 years ago, I was sitting in the office with KC and the Sunshine Band and had to pick up a third album after two #1 worldwide hits. We were talking about â€œShake Your Bootyâ€ and everyone thought it was too dirty. But I told them we were going with it. Three weeks later, it was another #1 hit. Now, 38 years later, we are still shaking our booty with â€œBooty Shakinâ€™ Timeâ€!

Jake The Dog was raised on the heavy boom of Miami Bass and the booty shake of the Goombay beat. Booty Shakinâ€™ Time is his tribute to the sounds of rap and bass that he grew up on. The record is executive produced by dance music pioneer Henry Stone, features Miami Bass pioneer Joe Stone, and is produced and engineered by George â€œChocolateâ€ Perry, the bass player from the Bee Gees. Now, thatâ€™s a lot of bass!

EP CD available at henrystonemusic.com, Downloads available on iTunes and many other services.

Welcome to new contributor: Lisa Concepcion

Lisa Concepcion was born in The Bronx in 1971. She was raised on Long Island, NY and part time in Brooklyn, NY. She attended Rutgers University and is an experienced marketer with expertise in Public Relations strategy. Her career was spent working for top global PR firms in New York City such as Porter Novelli, Fleishman Hillard and Cohen and Wolfe where she worked on national consumer brands such as Kellogg’s, JM Smucker’s, Jif Peanut Butter, Lancome, Avon, Nikon, Science Diet, Colgate MaxFresh, Colgate Wisp, Banana Boat, Hawaiian Tropic and plenty more. Lisa also tried pharmaceutical PR for 7 years working on Ambien, Great American Smokeout, Phonak, Migranal and Cardizem LA.

She moved to Miami in 2010 seeking a different life in an urban beach town and chose South Beach as her new home. In 2012 she attended Social Media Week Miami and was inspired to startÂ her blog as a way to get to know Miami and promote brands, local businesses and herself. Ultimately Lisa would love a book deal, reality show and to do speaking tours around the country empowering women to take control of their lives and make smart choices.

She spends her day working as a PR Director for a Best Selling Business Author and Entrepreneur and in her free time you can find her around South Beach walking her dog Taz, riding her bike, at any of the many hotspots, attending fun events and of course reading and sunbathing at the beach. What does Lisa love most about Miami? The weather!

Guru Rugu’s Massage Workshop for Artists 7/13/13

Guru Rugu’s Massage Workshop for Artists
Saturday, July 13, 2013, 3:00-7:00 PM
Cannonball
1035 N Miami Ave, Suite 301
Miami, FL 33136
$FREE

Please plan to be prompt and to attend the entire workshop â€“ no latecomers.
Space is limited to 16 attendants. RSVP is required by 5:00 PM on July 12 to splash@cannonballmiami.org. Please indicate if you will be attending solo or with a partner.

This basic training will develop your rudimentary massage skills by exploring simple strategies for the use of hands, fingers, forearms, and elbows, and for listening through touch. Massages will occur while seated in chairs, and will not involve any additional equipment, creams, or oils. Participants will remain clothed throughout the training. Arriving solo is totally fine, but if rubbing strangers or semi-strangers seems odd, feel free to bring a partner you trust.

Tea and water will be provided, but please BYO snacks.

Adam Overton is an experimental artist, and certified massage therapist (since 2007) living in Los Angeles, California, and a visiting resident at Cannonball through mid-August. His work involves performance, writing, experimental music, massage, and workshops, in formats that involve audience participation in order to facilitate odd and intimate artistâ€led experiences. Overton works closely with Guru Rugu as coâ€director of the experimental meditation center of los angeles and as a ghostwriter for Guru Ruguâ€™s Experimental Meditation Hour on KCHUNG Radio.

The experimental meditation center of los angeles has no permanent location, and will be based in Miami throughout this summer. Adam Overton and Guru Rugu takes the role of artist-as-facilitator, offering small group meditation sessions, each of them of different nature. These sessions are not the traditional â€œtherapeuticâ€ meditations, but rather repurposed spiritual, religious, and physical forms of playful yet profound meditation, offering a safe environment for â€œsomething elseâ€ to happen. Experimental meditation sessions will be held at non-traditional locations throughout the City, and will be free and open to the public.
For more information about the artist, please visit plus1plus1plus.org.

Taste Of The Nation South Florida Is Ready To Roll

Share Our Strength, the countryâ€™s leading anti-hunger organization and producer of the highly respected annual nationwide culinary benefit, Taste of the Nation, dedicated to raising funds and awareness for the fight to end childhood hunger across America, is getting ready to roll. Now called Taste of the Nation South Florida and bigger than ever, this year the regionâ€™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. â€“ 10:00 p.m., in the spacious main ballroom of the Loews Miami Beach Hotel.

The Lee Boys are one of Americaâ€™s finest African-American sacred steel ensembles. This family group consists of three brothers, Alvin Lee (guitar), Derrick Lee and Keith Lee (vocals) along with their three nephews, Roosevelt Collier (pedal steel guitar), Alvin Cordy Jr. (7-string bass) and Earl Walker (drums). Each member began making music at the ages of 7 and 8 in the House of God church they attended in Perrine, FL. Here they underwent a rigorous course of training in a variety of musical instruments, including lap and pedal steel guitars. Born and raised in Miami, each of The Lee Boys grew up in the church where their father and grandfather, Rev. Robert E. Lee, was the pastor and a steel player himself.

Full of hope and anticipation of the promise of Another Day, a new day, it is a pivotal point in the career of a touring musician heretofore known as a master of live looping and a staple in the grass-roots club and festival circuit.

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, Sloanâ€™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 todayâ€™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 Childrenâ€™s Museum (2012).

Sloanâ€™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 Childrenâ€™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.

Fadil El Ghould A.K.A. R3hab, firmly established his name in the Dutch dance scene. After the popular remix of Chuckieâ€™s â€œToys Are Nutsâ€ Rehab rapidly gained support from DJâ€™s worldwide. The track â€œMRKRSTFTâ€ became a huge club hit and was featured on the 2008 Sensation White CD. After making successful remixes for the likes of Chuckie, Chris Lake, Laidback Luke, Hi_Tack, Sharam, Rene Amesz and Gregor Salto, it was inevitable that Rehab would show his face on larger events like Fame=DJâ€™s, Dirty Dutch, Rocksteady and one of Hollandâ€™s biggest dance festivals; Mysteryland. R3hab just released a track entitled â€œBlue Magicâ€ on Chris Lakeâ€™s label Rising Music which he produced together with his studio buddy Hardwell.

Photograph of Opa-locka: Mirage City Exhibition Opening at HistoryMiami on 6/27/13

Posted on June 29, 2013 by @ThePumaGirl

Opa-locka: Mirage City Exhibition Opening at HistoryMiamiÂ on Thursday, June 27, 2013. Â This is an amazing exhibition I had no idea that Opa-Locka had such an interesting and wonderful history.Â The exhibition runs from June 28, 2013 – September 08, 2013, this a must see.

“Opa-locka: Mirage City explores one of South Floridaâ€™s most unique architectural communities. Based on stories and names of characters from the Arabian Tales, Opa-locka presents itself as both eccentric dream; an exotic Middle-eastern urban oasis in a subtropical paradise, and touristâ€™s kitsch; an architectural conceit more akin to a Hollywood film set. Founded in the 1920s in an undeveloped area of northwest Miami-Dade, the city is a highly romanticized interpretation of an exotic cultural milieu popularized by Hollywood films and archeological discoveries of its time. The exhibition presents original drawings and architectural models that reintroduce the original fabled vision, aiming to rouse interest in the cityâ€™s iconic structural design and encourage efforts to preserve its endangered architectural heritage.”

Miami native Karina Iglesias takes center stage at Unity on the Bay to perform her usual boleros, jazzy-pop style of hip-hop and American classics on Friday, July 12, 2013 at 8:00 pm. Iglesias, as seen on NBCâ€™s #1 hit TV show â€˜The Voiceâ€™, performs with Nu-Thang and special guest artist Monique Abbadie. Tickets on sale at www.unityonthebay.org. Ticketed pre-party reception starts at 7pm.

â€œThis concert is my own spin on top popular music. Itâ€™s my personal vocal touch on a mix of jazz, pop, and blues songs along with some new, original material,â€ said Iglesias, songwriter and singer. This is Iglesiasâ€™s first concert since leaving â€˜The Voiceâ€™.

In 2013, Iglesias was a top 16 contestant on NBC’s #1 hit TV show â€˜The Voiceâ€™. She was originally a member of Team Adam, after a two-chair audition that included Blake Shelton, and was later stolen by Shakira after her epic performance of â€œIt’s a Man’s, Man’s, Man’s Worldâ€, which became a YouTube sensation.

Born and raised in Miami, Florida to Honduran parents, the saucy, soultress songwriter is a long-time South Florida vocal favorite. The Miami Dolphins hired her through Emilio Estefan to sing the anthem at all home games, as part of the ensemble Dolphin Voices, in 2009. She was featured on Univisionâ€™s Mira Quien Baila and has taken the stage with numerous Latin artists.

Adam Levine, â€˜The Voiceâ€™ coach said after Iglesias audition: â€œI felt like for the first time on the show, that possibly, that towards the end, that the light fixtures were just gonnaâ€™ explode, because [she is] a great singer and [she] really deserves to be here, so congratulations.â€

Special guest artist Monique Abbadie takes the stage with Iglesias and the Nu-Thang at the concert. Abbadie is a pop artist who has performed at the legendary House of Blues Los Angeles, Planet Hollywood Las Vegas and Miami’s Gusman Center, among many others places. She has also been on NBCs hit show â€˜The Voiceâ€™ where she recently participated on Team Shakira.

Concert tickets are $25. Meet Iglesias in a private pre-party reception that starts at 7pm. Tickets for the reception and concert are $50. Tickets can be purchased at www.unityonthebay.org or at Unity on the Bayâ€™s The Source Bookstore, 411 NE 21st Street, Miami, FL 33137.

Unity on the Bay is a dynamic trans-denominational spiritual community dedicated to the transformation of ourselves and the world. Its values include acceptance, love, service, and gratitude.

Water Rites exhibition at the Audrey Love Gallery at BAC

Admission: Free and Open to the Public

This exhibition, the first major group showing of works by GUILD, features works that address the theme of water in diverse ways. The element which is most closely identified with life in South Florida is approached as an archetypal symbol of life, regeneration, and purification, as well as an important element in different religions. GUILD, a group of seven painters who emerged from the New World School of the Arts, embraces the power, inexhaustible originality, and vitality of paintingâ€”an art form whose millennial traditions enable it to articulate the aesthetic concerns of contemporary artists. The Walk-Through will be conducted by the exhibition curator, Ricardo Pau-Llosa, and various members of GUILD.
GUILD is also proud to announce the induction of a new member to its ranks. Miami-born painter Christian Duran is also a New World School of the Arts graduate who earned his BFA at the Kansas City Art Institute, in 1998. In 1999, he returned to his hometown of South Florida where he continues to produce and exhibit his work. Duranâ€™s art focuses on themes related to nature, the human anatomy, and religion. Details of Duranâ€™s extensive bio and images of his work can be found at the GUILD website: www.guild-artists.com. Duran will participate in the Walk-Through at BAC on June 29th.

Cost: 0 – $10

Two of South Floridaâ€™s premiere musical acts will converge at the Design District venue known for showcasing the areaâ€™s best and brightest artists. Humbert and Ketchy Shuby will co-headline the evening after Independence Day, in what promises to be a high-energy night of rock and soul.

Scene veterans Humbert will bring flavorful melodies, Beach Boy-tinged harmonies and relentless rock power to The Stage in what will be only their second performance there after Mayâ€™s Sound Theory Live relaunch on Wynwood Radio party. The four-piece is poised to release their first set of new music since 2006, which should be available online and on CD in August of this year.

â€œVery few bands are greater in weight than Humbert – Ketchy Shuby is one of them and we are very happy to be sharing the stage with them,â€ offers Humbertâ€™s colorful frontman Ferny Coipel. â€œPound for pound, they are heavier than us.â€

Ketchy Shubyâ€™s explosive funk jams coupled with the groupâ€™s soulful tunesmith and the manic-energy of lead singer /guitarist Jason Joshua Hernandez-Rodriguez have kept them extremely busy this year. Coming off spring a Midwestern tour that took them through the Austin, TX mega-music festival SXSW, the band caught the attention of Spin Magazine. Their momentum has carried them through early summer with near-weekly gigs throughout South Florida in support of their latest single â€œIâ€™ll Take Care of Youâ€.

When asked his thoughts on the pairing of the two bands, Hernandez-Rodriguez simply says: â€œHumbert is my favorite band of all time. Thatâ€™s all.â€

Also performing July 5th are DJ Heron and DJ Methods; food will be provided for a nominal fee by Monteâ€™s Country Cajun Cooking food truck. Admission to the event is free before 10 p.m., $10 afterwards. For more information and to buy tickets, visit www.thestagemiami.com. The show is open to those 21 & over.

Miami, Florida 33138
Facebook Evite

"Just like your kids, at a certain point it’s time for our events to grow up and start demanding more from us. Now that Yo Miami’s monthly Average Joe Art Sale has been around for a little over a year it’s time to take things to the next level. First and foremost, the element of accessibility will definitely be maintained despite increasing the price cap to $500 (previously $250). Just because the maximum price is being raised, doesnâ€™t mean weâ€™re forsaking the more affordable work; we will continue to offer a range of work from $5 all the way on up to $500.

The need for this change has risen from a desire to offer a wider and more evolved variety of work to our monthly patrons. While we’ve been lucky enough in our relationships with local artists to get work drastically discounted specially for us, at a certain point we need to offer artists the chance to fairly value their work too. Not only will this new price point allow artists to show a better range of their existing work, but it will allow us to introduce visitors to artists who were previously unable to participate because of the low price point.

In light of this new development weâ€™d also like to announce another novelty to the Average Joe lineup. Every two months, we’ll be introducing a new featured artist who will be decorating an entire wall with their own installation. We’re excited to announce that Ruben Ubiera (Miami New Times’ Best Street Artist of 2012) is going to be the first in this new series of artists. He will be creating a mural inside the space on one wall, that will also display artwork that he’s creating just for the sale.

Otherwise we plan on continuing to evolve little by little each month, adding and subtracting elements based on visitor feedback. Some minor adjustments to note in particular include our print shop filled with affordable prints, smaller works, and merch ranging from $5-$50; also this month we’ll have The Kult (Wasabi Fashion Kult’s apparel shop) in the house with a pop up shop. As always we’ll have our custom-painted ping pong table open for play, old school video games on a projector, and Los Chamos food truck out front.

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 16â€™ 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 â€œCâ€ Floor, in Milwaukee Wisconsin there are 15 mosaic medallions from 3â€™to15â€™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 Childrenâ€™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 â€œLive Wireâ€ the off spring of Andrew Delaplainesâ€™ 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 â€˜for artists..BY ARTISTSâ€™ (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 children will also be given the opportunity to participate in meet and greets with key ABFF influencers including festival producer Reggie Scott, the 2013 ABFF Ambassador and actor, Omari Hardwick and other celebrities attending the festival.

The Films Over Miami will feature the films of some of Miamiâ€™s emerging filmmakers. The children of MLK Community Mural will be demonstrating a live art presentation featured throughout the film showcase, with the final art work to debut at the red carpet premier of the Miami filmed, Playinâ€™ For Love, directed by Robert Townsend.

Antonio Bachour / St. Regis Bal Harbour Resort

Posted on June 19, 2013 by Chat Chow TV

Antonio Bachour grew up in Puerto Rico and was hooked on pastry from a young age, thanks to a childhood spent in his familyâ€™s bakery. He went on to graduate from Johnson & Wales, and then spent his first few years honing his trade in Puerto Rico as a pastry cook at Sand Hotel and Casino and Westin Rio Mar before moving on to the Ritz-Carlton in San Juan, where he was pastry sous chef for two years. 2001 found Bachour States-bound, in Miami Beach, as pastry chef at Talula. And soon he was trying his hand at Italian delicacies at both Devito South Beach and Scarpetta in New York and Miami.

In 2009, Bachour was asked by KNR Food Concepts to be a part of the opening team at the W South Beach Hotel, and particularly Solea. Shortly after, he took over responsibility for all pastries for The Trump Soho hotel and its restaurants. Dessert Professional Magazine selected Bachour as one of their â€œTop 10 Pastry Chefsâ€ for 2011. Now, we’re fortunate enough to have Bachour as the executive pastry chef at the new St. Regis Bal Harbour Resort creating desserts for the restaurants Atlantico and J&G Grill, and also for hotel events.

Artoconectoâ€™s KIDSART, in partnership with the Cisneros Fontanals Arts Foundation (CIFO) returns this summer with an exciting new series of affordable art camps for children led by five contemporary artists in Miami. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, and for five consecutive weeks, each artist will lead two themed workshops per week, open to a group of 25 children, from 2PM to 5PM. It is an incredible opportunity for kids, ages 6 to 12 to closely learn and interact with working artists who live and work in Miami. The list of prominent artists who will conduct the weekly art sessions includes: Victor Muniz, Reed Von Brunschot and Olivia Ramos.

KIDSART’s workshops are designed so parents do not need to commit to all five weeks. There is a small contribution of $25.00 dollars per child, per week, which will benefit the program. That means, two art sessions per week that includes materials and snacks. The artwork created during the workshops will be exhibited at CIFO during the first weekend of August. In addition, as part of the summer programming, CIFO is gearing up for a fun calendar of cultural events for the entire family in the evenings so make sure to check the website for updates.

Registration for KIDSART is open to all children in Miami. We have also created an on-line market place, where parents can proceed to register early.

Photographs of our 2013 Cruise Vacation May 11-19, 2013

Posted on June 19, 2013 by @ThePumaGirl

This was one of the best cruises I have been on!!! Â We went on an 8 day Carnival Cruise aboard the Carnival Breeze. Â We visited Grand Turk, La Romana – Dominican Republic, Curacao and Aruba. Â The cruise it self was amazing, the food and the staff were so awesome. Â One night we did splurge and ate at the steakhouse, it was so worth the extra price. I was stuffed and had one of the best bone-in Rib-eye steak I have ever had. Â I have to say that of all the stops Aruba was my most favorite, James had to drag me back on the ship. Â My next favorite stop was Grand Turk, I loved the little town the people were so nice and the scenery was beautiful. Â There are a lot of pictures I hope you enjoy them.

Cyrano Mio – XXVIII International Hispanic Theater Festival of Miami 7/12/13 – 7/13/13

Posted on June 18, 2013June 19, 2013 by calendar

Cyrano Mio – XXVIII International Hispanic Theater Festival of Miami
Friday, 07/12/2013, 08:30 pm –
Cyrano1 Teatro Prometeo
300 NE 2 Avenue ,
Miami, Florida 33132
Webpage Link

Based on the play by Edmond Rostand, the play is directed by Prometeoâ€™s director Joann Yarrow and renowned singer/actress Cristina Rebull.

Cyrano Mio begins one year after the death of Cyrano. Roxana, still in the convent where she waited for Cyrano every Saturday for 15 years, recounts their conversations and remembers the man she loved thru the face of Cristian. During this voyage thru memory lane, Roxana realizes that she is indebted with with Cyrano, Cristina and God. She realizes that she loved Cristian with a divided soul, look for comfort in God, but it was Cyrano who kept her alive and almost happy with his wit and protection. Every minute of her memories is filled with the guilt of never understanding how sublime his love really was.

Midtown Pawn Boutique Grand Opening 7/13/13

Posted on June 18, 2013June 18, 2013 by none

Midtown Pawn Boutique Grand Opening
Saturday, July 13th, from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM
Midtown Pawn Boutique
261 NW 36 Street
Miami, FL, 33127

Midtown Miami officially welcomes a new business to the neighborhood, Midtown Pawn Boutique, an upscale, revolutionary, Miami-style take on the traditional notion of "pawn."

"It’s like the Neiman Marcus of Pawn, the Mercedes-Benz of Pawn, the Tiffany’s of Pawn… you get the idea," laughs President, Adriana Hernandez, "it’s the complete opposite of the dark, cluttered, seedy places you may have seen on Law & Order or in the movies."

Indeed it is. The grand facade features a giant mural that takes up the entire front and side of the large brand-new building â€“ one that took over 5 years to complete. The mural, created by Wynwood artist and girl-power darling, Diana Contreras (best known for "Sofia Rose"), will be unveiled at the grand opening.

The subject of the mural might seem an odd choice for a pawn shop, until Hernandez tells the story behind it. It is inspired by Queen Isabella, who, as legend has it, pawned the crown jewels of Spain to fund Christopher Columbus’ speculative voyage to "India," an investment so successful that it lifted her kingdom out of a crippling debt that almost ruined it.

Hernandez says, "It’s no different today. You’d be surprised at how many of our clients are visionaries or businesspeople who want to take their unused assets and trade them â€“ temporarily â€“ for the capital they need to invest in a new venture or project, and who were turned down by traditional banks. We offer a safe, cost-effective alternative for financing. The way we see it, we don’t make loans, we fund dreams, just like Isabella did 500 years ago."

Aside from the unveiling, music by DJ Maximus 3000 and the free-flowing food and libations, the Grand Opening features a unique twist. Guests are encouraged to "Bring An Asset" to the party and have it appraised â€“ an Antiques Roadshow-inspired way for guests to jump in and learn firsthand what their often-overlooked possessions are worth. Valuation Specialists from a variety of fields, from art and jewelry to antiques and handbags, and everything in between, will be onsite educating guests on "the story of their stuff."

Midtown Pawn Boutique is the brainchild of the family owned Jimenez Group, a US-based collateral lender that has operated for over 50 years. The Boutique will cater to an upscale clientele with valuable assets who may have never before considered pawn as an option. In addition, Midtown Pawn Boutique will also buy and sell items out of the posh locale, including designer handbags, jewelry, watches and other upscale luxuries. Who knows, is Pawn the new Prada?

During the event, donations will be gratefully accepted to benefit Dr. Gigi’s Raise Me Up Foundation, a non-profit 501(c)3 that provides free recreational programs, family support services and therapeutic programs to children with special needs in the South Florida Community. Says Hernandez about their commitment to this organization: "My son is autistic, and I know firsthand how amazing the work they do is for mothers and families like me."

Host Committee: Christy Gast, Deborah Mitchell, and Valerie Grace Ricordi

Join us for us for the AIRIE Summer Salon, an intimate gathering to benefit the Artists in Residence in Everglades program. Situated on the original Haden mango plantation, a stoneâ€™s throw from the house where environmentalist and Everglades advocate Marjory Stoneman Douglas wrote River of Grass, Ms. Ricordiâ€™s historic Coconut Grove home is the perfect setting to enjoy a live performance by current artist in residence Ana Mendez, an audio installation by Gustavo Matamoros, work from the AIRIE collection, and light refreshments from local chefs.

AIRIE offers artists the opportunity to get to know the ecology of the Everglades by being immersed in it. By shadowing scientists in the field, hiking through the pinelands, kayaking through mangroves, and exploring Cape Sable and the 10,000 Islands, artists find the inspiration to create new work. They develop a deep understanding of the Evergladesâ€™ ecological importance, and then share their perspective through their work and creative public programs.

South Florida is home to the only subtropical wilderness in the country, and AIRIE is the only program bringing artists to the Everglades. AIRIE connects artists, writers and musicians to the Everglades by providing month-long residencies in the Park. Each visual artist donates a work inspired by their residency for the Park collection, and writers and composers offer some publication rights, creating an outstanding body of nature inspired contemporary art and music. â€œIn a park known for its spectacular and diverse wildlife, the art and voices of AIRIE artists reveal other unique, and often missed, dimensions of this special place,â€ remarks Park Superintendent Dan Kimball.
