The 35th installation of ‘for artists….BY ARTISTS’ will feature a Digital Art Exhibition by Rebecca Barba & a Digital Photographic Exhibition by Masha Feterman.
The objective of ‘for artists……BY ARTISTS’ (www.facebook.com/forartistsByArtists) is to create a social colony for artists from all disciplines of the arts with the focal point being on painters, photographers, designers and sculptors. Utilization of the technology at Haven and maximizing its potential is what sets this weekly exhibition apart from others.
About Rebecca…
Born and raised in South Florida, Rebecca Barba is a first generation Cuban-American.
Since the tender age of 3, Rebecca showed signs of creativity. Throughout her early education, she excelled in her art courses, receiving accolades in both school and community-sponsored art competitions. Rebecca earned a Minor in Visual Arts from Florida International University in 1995.
In 2007, she was fortunate to meet and be inspired by visual artist, Pablo Contrisciani,
he helped un-lock her expressionistic style. 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!

For information about tickets, table and sponsorship opportunities, please contact Astrid H. Ehrenstein, director of special events and development at 305-446-9910 ext. 30 or aehrenstein@bgcmia.org
Gala tickets are priced at $325 per person. After party tickets are priced at $50 per person.
Boys & Girls Clubs of Miami-Dade will host its sixth annual “Wild About Kids†black-tie optional gala at the Four Seasons Hotel Brickell. Gala proceeds will benefit Boys & Girls Clubs of Miami-Dade and its many positive programs for 10,000 area children who need them the most.
The Gala was voted one of BizBash’s Top 100 Events of 2011. BizBash selects annual gatherings based on their impact on their respective industries and communities (and on the city) while innovating to stay on top.
Danell Leyva, who won the bronze medal at the London 2012 Summer Olympics for men’s gymnastics, will be speaking at the event and taking photos with sponsors. Leyva, who came to the US from Cuba when he was a young boy with his mother and sister, is an inspirational example of the American Dream.
Guests will enjoy a unique “live†red carpet welcome as they enter a cocktail reception and silent auction featuring one-of-a-kind items, dinner program, live music, dancing and much more.
Miami’s own South Florida celebrity artist David “LEBO†Le Batard, who previously created a “Wall of Art†for the Kendall Boys & Girls Club with LeBron James, is donating a piece of his original artwork inspired by the organization’s mission statement to the silent auction. A step-by-step photographic exhibit and short video of his painting’s creative process will be displayed. LEBO is also leading two to three workshops at Boys & Girls Clubs of Miami-Dade’s after school programs throughout the year to help enrich and awaken the “artist†in the Club’s children between his commissions.
Boys & Girls Clubs of Miami-Dade alumna 13-year-old Elizabeth Elias will sing the National Anthem to kick off the dinner program. A singer, dancer and model, Elias recently sang the US and Canadian National Anthems at Marlins Park.
Attendees, including South Florida’s top community leaders, will have the opportunity at the event to sponsor a child through donations. Once again, the gala emcee will be Lynn Martinez, anchor of WSVN’s Deco Drive.
The gala is chaired by Lana DeSimone, Irene Korge and Eris Thomas.
Sponsorship opportunities are available. Current sponsors are: Presenting Sponsor Miami Marlins Foundation, Silver Sponsor Hamilton Yacht Group South Florida, Bronze Sponsors Jorge Luis Lopez Law Firm, Matty’s Sports, Coral Gables Executive Physicians, The Bermont Advisory Group and Irene Korge; Media Sponsor Miami magazine, Liquor Sponsor Bacardi and Wine Sponsor Epica Wines.
An after party at the Four Seasons Hotel Brickell, which will include music, dancing, a full bar and tapas-style food, will continue the celebration. Tickets for the after party are $50 per person.

Miami, Fl 33127
Enrumbatemiami only happens once a month, don’t let someone tell you about it, come and see for yourself what a real party is all about!
As many Colombians in South Florida, we grew tired of the “Colombian†and Latin venues in our area, some of them are too far, others claim to be exclusive just to make you wait for hours to be crammed, shoved and then charged ridiculous prices and some are just plain awful and tasteless. So with that in mind and since we are witty professionals, we envisioned a comfortable, affordable place with a nifty party vibe where you can socialize, drink, eat, dance the night away and just have plain true fun. We then decided to come up with the concept of an exclusive monthly party celebrating our culture, music and art with a twist of the latest beats and sounds and a creative live show. After months of solid research, brainstorming, taking into consideration opinions and suggestions from experienced club promoters, people in the biz, friends, family, contacts and combined with our professional experience and ingenuity, Enrumbatemiami was born. LMNT is a state of the art luxury venue in the heart of Miami Midtown, offering an indoor and outdoor space designed to keep everybody cheerful and comfortable, with live music and performance, top DJ, art exhibit and of course the lowest prices in the area for bottle service, cocktails and traditional appetizers not to mention excellent service and the Coolest and Classiest atmosphere around.

Bigger, Better And Scarier Than Ever! The One And Only Fright Nights Returns To The South Florida Fairgrounds With Not 3 . . . Not 4 . . . But Now 5 Totally Terrifying Haunts. Plus Twice As Many Monster Midway Rides!
Fright Nights, the scariest Halloween phenomenon ever, returns to the South Florida Fairgrounds in West Palm Beach. This year’s terror-full attraction kicks off Thursday, October 11th and has been redesigned to be scarier than ever before!
The Largest Haunted Attraction In South Florida! Including 5 Horrifying Haunts Totally Redesigned For Maximum Terror!
“The Manorâ€
Blood is thicker than water. After nearly a decade of dormancy, the evil behind the grisly family slayings has resurfaced. Trip back to the scene of the crime; the old rickety house that is still haunted by the tortured souls of a family legacy . . . Murder!!!
“Kill Shotâ€
You are trapped in the belly of an old factory. You do whatever you can just to stay alive. The darkness is overwhelming you and the stench is even worse. But your senses have only begun to realize the horror that walks within these walls. Just around the next corner lies a clan of the undead. Soul sucking, flesh-eating, zombiefied goons, that were turned cannibal by a chemical spill in the factory. Be afraid . . . Be very afraid!
“Carnival Of Creepsâ€
In the dusty corners of America’s vast Midwest lie the remnants of an old time Carnival past. Tattered tents loom on the horizon as shadowy figures prepare for the evening’s show. These are the creeps that bring you the finest in midway mayhem and paste-faced tomfoolery. They were kicked out of every “reputable†Carnival nationwide for offenses ranging from animal abuse to torture and even suspected murder! Peel back the canvas tent and step inside the three ring circus that can only be . . . the Carnival of Creeps!
“The Creatureâ€
Caution . . . As you move through the gaping maw of this diabolical and strange Creature, try not to let your worst nightmares overwhelm you! If you’re brave enough after being swallowed by this enormous Creature you will be left with the sense that “There is No Way Out!!!!†This is when the terror just begins! The insides come alive on their own terms and the wrath of the beast makes itself known. Say your prayers . . . If you have the time!
“Santa’s Workshopâ€
There are too many naughty children these days and it has driven Santa Claus to the ultimate edge! This once jolly jovial man has become jaded and angry from the lack of Christmas spirit. So he brings forth a mythical holiday creature called Krampus to help him deal with all the unruly people that are ruining things. The horned and hooved beast has been sneaking into the homes and kidnapping children that are put to work alongside Santa’s demented elves. On Christmas Eve, wielding his trusty axe, Santa will deal with the rest of the world on a case by case basis. There will be no presents and don’t bother with the milk and cookies. The real question here is . . . have you been Naughty or Nice?

JUSTMAD MIA is an initiative by ArtFairs, a Spanish company specialized in organizing contemporary art fairs since 2009. ArtFairs is both responsible for MADRIDFOTO the international photography fair and JUSTMAD the international emergent art fair. ArtFairs has a young team of entrepreneurs, which, in a context like the present, have decided to step towards internationalization with the creation of JUSTMAD MIA – the International emerging Art Fair to be held in Miami during the first week of December 2012, when this city concentrates the world’s contemporary art market.
The international contemporary art fair JUSTMAD was born in 2010 aiming at becoming a reference platform in the circuit for the diffusion and commercialization of Spanish, European and Latin American emerging art.
JUSTMAD MIA is a general-art fair of medium format dedicated to emerging contemporary art. The principal line of work focuses on the participation of young galleries from Spain, Europe and America presenting artists under 40. A second line allows mid-career or more consolidated galleries to present artists younger than 30 years of age.
The organizational structure of JUSTMAD MIA incorporates an advisory committee formed by the galleries NoMÃnimo (Guayaquil), Eva Ruiz (Madrid) and La Caja Blanca (London-Mallorca).
This new fair, located at the Wynwood District, will integrate the work philosophy of its partner from Madrid and will show the usual visitor of the Miami Art Week, a comprehensive selection of cutting edge art, design and architecture.
The fair will have a general program of 50 galleries, three specific programs for artists and a series of parallel events devoted to architecture, design and gastronomy. JUSTMAD MIA is a stimulating exhibition targeting the American and international public, with some of the best art and culinary proposals generated in Europe today.

Legendary Bluesmen Buddy Guy and Jonny Lang Coming to Seminole Casino Coconut Creek 11/11/12
Legendary Bluesmen Buddy Guy and Jonny Lang Coming to Seminole Casino Coconut Creek 
November 11, 2012, 7 p.m.
Seminole Casino Coconut Creek – The Pavilion
5550 NW 40th Street
Coconut Creek, FL 33073
www.seminolecasinococonutcreek.com
The legendary Buddy Guy and Jonny Lang are bringing the blues to The Pavilion at Seminole Casino Coconut Creek at 7 p.m. on Sunday, November 11. Guy’s music can vary from the most traditional, deepest blues to a creative and unpredictable gumbo of the blues, avant rock, soul and free jazz that morphs at each of his performances.
Ranked 30th in Rolling Stone magazine’s list of the "100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time," Guy is known for his showmanship on stage – playing his guitar with drumsticks or strolling into the audience while playing solos. Fans at Seminole Casino Coconut Creek can expect to hear favorites like “Ain’t No Sunshine,†“Damn Right I’ve Got the Blues,†“Mustang Sally,†“Feels Like Rain†and "Stone Crazy," which was ranked 78th in Rolling Stone’s list of the “100 Greatest Guitar Songs of All Time.â€
Critically acclaimed, Guy is a pioneer of the Chicago blues sound and has served as an influence to some of the most notable musicians of his generation, including Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix and Stevie Ray Vaughan. In the 1960s Guy was a member of Muddy Waters’ band and was a house guitarist at Chess Records. He can be heard on Howlin’ Wolf’s "Killing Floor" and Koko Taylor’s "Wang Dang Doodle" as well as on his own Chess sides and the fine series of records he made with harmonica player Junior Wells.
Jonny Lang is a Grammy Award-winning American blues, gospel and rock singer, songwriter, guitarist and recording artist. Lang’s music is notable for both his unusual voice, which has been compared to that of a 40-year-old blues veteran, and for his guitar solos. His solo patterns have especially been noted for his frequent use of wide vibratos.
In more than ten years on the road, Lang has toured with the Rolling Stones, Buddy Guy, Aerosmith, B.B. King, Blues Traveler, Jeff Beck and Sting. In 1999, he was invited to play for a White House audience including President and Mrs. Clinton. Lang also made a cameo appearance in the film Blues Brothers 2000 as a janitor. In addition, Lang appears regularly as a part of the Experience Hendrix Tour along with many other well-known guitarists to pay tribute the deceased guitar legend Jimi Hendrix.

Miami Beach Food Truck and Music Fest 9/19/12
Food Truck and Music Fest 
September 19, 5-10 pm
North Shore Bandshell
7250 Collins Ave
Miami Beach, FL 33141
The City of Miami Beach and KCC Productions present the Food Truck & Music Fest , featuring Marlow Rosado y la Riqueña
Miami Beach’s North Shore Park Bandshell & Ocean Terrace will dress in the typical, characteristic Latin flavor of the North Beach area to welcome the Miami Beach Food Truck and Music Fest on Wednesday nights this fall. The events take place on September 19, October 17 and November 14, from 5:00 p.m. To 10:00 p.m., at the North Shore Park Bandshell on Collins Avenue and 73 Street. The food and music fest will feature the popular mobile food trucks, free entertainment and participation by area restaurants.
The salsa sounds of the Marlow Rosado y La Riqueña’s nine-piece band will kick off the festival on September 19 from 6 to 9 pm.
With over twenty years’ experience in the music industry, pianist-composer-producer Marlow Rosado has developed a powerful portfolio working with many of the top artists in the Latin recording world. Singing with world-renowned producer Desmond Child has led him to work with major artists such as Alejandra Guzman and Ricky Martin (on Más). With eleven Grammy nominations to his credit, Rosado’s influence in the Tropical genre can be felt on records ranging from Elvis Crespo to Gran Combo.
His 2009 debut album, Salsalsa, featuring Andy Montañez, lived at the #1 spot on Puerto Rico’s hottest Salsa station, Zeta 93, for over eight weeks. His second and latest CD, Retro, (2012) takes some of the strongest songs from the 1970’s, maintaining the essentials of the originals, but metamorphosing them in Marlow’s 21st-century conception until they become entirely his own. The album features guest appearances by Tito Puente, Jr., Ismael Miranda, Bobby Cruz, Papo Lucca, Kevin Ceballo, Marlon Fernandez, Luigi Texidor, Quique Dominich, Salvador Cuevas, and Tony Vega. It has received rave reviews and has made the Top Ten list nationally in its category.
"It is a great neighborhood and we’re looking forward to having people come and enjoy good food, good music, and the beautiful beach and also hoping to entice neighboring residents to come and discover the charm of North Beach,†said Miami Beach Acting Assistant City Manager Max Sklar.
The popular food truck lineup includes the following: Ms. Cheezious, Sakaya Kitchen, Gastropod, Health Nut on Wheels, Dolci Pecati, Sugar Yummy Mama, Garcia Brothers Seafood, La Camaronera, Moty’s Grill, Latin Burger, Mangia Mia and Bocaditos. They will be offering varied menus from burgers and seafood to healthy bites and ethnic dishes.

Bird Road Art Walk continues with great clamor of artists and artworks By Betty Alvarez
Bird Road Art Walk recently named “Miami’s Best Art Walk 2011” by Miami New Times, celebrated once again their monthly gallery night. This time around many galleries opened their doors to the many art lovers.
I was excited as I came from Miami Beach to attend this event and wanted to have a great experience meeting old and new friends in the artworld. My first stop was at Mano’s Art Project Space which was filled with art lovers and supporters of his artwork. The titled exhibition for this month was “Made in the USA” where 15 artists with ties to South Florida collectively create an interpretive, visual perspective for viewers to reflect on what it means to me “made” in the U.S.A.
In the same floor at Mano was Miguel Rodez who unveiled his new Project Art Space Gallery to present top-of-the-line art to collectors and the public at large.
The gallery’s initial show Drawn from Within explores the versatility of the drawing medium and includes feature works in graphite, ink and charcoal. Some of the pieces offered are huge works, with an even bigger bang for the medium, yet, others are seemingly diminutive pieces packing such a massive visual punch that viewers are knocked out of the ballpark.
I then visited my good friend artist Tatiana Castaneda where she was a guest artist at Romero Hidalgo Artist’s Studio. Her wonderful artwork was exhibited to the delight of art goers.
Not too far away was H. Benitez Fine Art Gallery II where renowned artist Humberto Benitez presents a visiting artist group exhibition entitled “Abstracts” in its opening reception. There were pantings from Julio Bordas and Holly Jones; photography by Roxy Sora and the entire exhibition was curated by Lissette Benitez.
Then it came to visit my good artist and photographer friend Monika Zdziebkowska where she was part of Ave 74 300 Artist Showcase, an eclectic mix of local emerging artists all under one roof! Our goal is to exhibit the art works of 300 artists! Painting, photography and sculpture they had it all from what I heard!
All in all Bird Road Art Walk was a success and can’t wait until next month!!!

Room Service Restaurant Lounge, Miami’s most anticipated dining venue and lounge, will officially open its doors with a Grand Celebration!
Room Service Restaurant Lounge opens as a one-of-a-kind dining experience in Miami Beach.This fascinating new venue, like no other on South Beach, perfectly mimics the perception of checking-in to a luxury hotel, complete with "Bellmen" escorting diners to their "private suite," "French Maidens" providing bottle service, a spectacular menu with tantalizing dishes that embody American Cuisine with a Latin Flair and desserts served on "Room Service" carts.
The grand opening festivities are unlike anything witnessed before! The evening will kick-off with Black Carpet arrivals, followed by scrumptious "Butler" passed hors d’oeuvres until 10:00 p.m. and signature Room Service cocktails provided by Russian Standard Vodka. The evening will also feature music, entertainment, flowing bubbly provided by Perrier-Jouët and will culminate with a spectacular, live Master Mixologist flair show! Get ready to be mesmerized by Room Service Restaurant Lounge!
"We are very excited about bringing a new vibe and concept to South Beach, with Room Service Restaurant Lounge. Our spectacular 5-star Luxury Hotel environment is ideal for dining and lounging, 6 days a week," say owners, Tamara Young and Richard Ford. "We are excited to be a part of the captivating and ever growing Miami Beach scene and look forward to welcoming you to our venue."
Celebrated local chef, Miguel Emmanuelli, whose culinary experience includes the 51 Supper Club, the Four Seasons and the Ritz-Carlton Palm Beach hotels, will be creating the signature passed hors d’oeuvres for the evening. In addition, Chef Emmanuelli has designed a delectable food menu that includes both small and large plates, salads and signature homemade desserts. The extensive variety of dishes include these signature items: South Beach Cones, Lobby Sliders, Room Service Dip Trio, Bird’s Nest, Volcano Skirt Steak and the Ultimate Club.
At Room Service Restaurant Lounge guests are encouraged to participate in the daily Happy Hour from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. In keeping with the hotel theme, this experience is called "Early Check-in" and pricing is determined by the time that the guest "checks in." This special menu includes a mouth-watering bar menu and signature, specialty cocktails made with premium brands. The names of the cocktails epitomize authentic hotel verbiage, with monikers like Lights Out, Wake up Call, 3 Days 2 Nights and Presidential Suite.

Follow The Yellow Brick Road To Miami Children’s Museum The Wizard Of Oz Children’s Educational Exhibition Returns!
We’re off to see The Wizard of Oz, as Miami Children’s Museum (MCM) hosts the return home of the first-ever, licensed traveling educational exhibit based on the beloved movie classic. The Wizard of Oz Children’s Educational Exhibit is set to return to MCM September 22, 2012.
Created by MCM and licensed by Warner Bros. Consumer Products, this interactive fantasy-adventure takes children and families over the rainbow to continue the celebration of the film’s 70th anniversary milestone. The Wizard of Oz Children’s Educational Exhibition debuted first in Miami in 2010 before traveling to other major cities, including Boston, New York, Minneapolis, Pittsburgh and many others.
And you don’t need to ride a tornado to get there. Just come to Miami Children’s Museum, on Watson Island, at 980 MacArthur Causeway. The Wizard of Oz Children’s Educational Exhibition is a journey of self-discovery for the whole family! Guests travel from the Gale Farm to the colorful Land of Oz, where they explore Munchkinland, The Crossroads, The Witch’s Castle and The Emerald City before heading back over the rainbow to Miami, because, of course, “There’s no place like home.â€
Along the way, everyone will experience the adventures of Dorothy and her friends as they find their way back to true happiness. Elements of the movie available only in this licensed exhibition include Dorothy’s Ruby Slippers, the characters everyone knows and loves from the film, and classic movie moments.
Visit Professor Marvel’s Wagon and create your own tornado in Dorothy’s bedroom. Explore Munchkin houses and meet Dorothy’s friends the Scarecrow, the Cowardly Lion and the Tin Man. Enter The Emerald City and create a “Horse of a Different Color,†play at the kaleidoscope and prism stations, but “pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.†Next, climb the mountain to the Wicked Witch’s Castle to capture the Wicked Witch’s broom from Winged Monkeys. Finally, click your heels three times while reciting “There’s no place like home,†as guests depart the Land of Oz
The Wizard of Oz Children’s Educational Exhibition is a marvelous adventure of self-discovery for the whole family. The Miami Children’s Museum offers bilingual and interactive exhibits; programs and classes and learning materials related to arts, culture, community and communication. They have 14 interactive galleries as well as housing many exciting and fun traveling exhibits. Miami Children’s Museum (MCM) is dedicated to enriching the lives of all children by fostering a love of learning and enabling children to realize their highest potential. Through arts and educational programs, MCM seeks to include and target all audiences in Miami’s changing and diverse community by becoming the "town center" for Miami-Dade County’s children and families.
The Wizard of Oz Children’s Educational Exhibition was created by Miami Children’s Museum and Sparks, in conjunction with Warner Bros. Consumer Products.

The 34th installation of ‘for artists….BY ARTISTS’ will feature a digital art exhibition by Lara Padilla.
The objective of ‘for artists……BY ARTISTS’ (www.facebook.com/forartistsByArtists) is to create a social colony for artists from all disciplines of the arts with the focal point being on painters, photographers, designers and sculptors. Utilization of the technology at Haven and maximizing its potential is what sets this weekly exhibition apart from others.
About Lara…
She is graduate in Fine Arts from the "Universidad Complutense de Madrid" in Spain.
Her carreer has been rewarding, but she want to expands her horizons. In order to improve her English grammar and vocabulary, she spent 5 months last year in Miami, which also gave her the opportunity to experience and appreciate American society.
She spend the last year complemented her knowledge about audiovisual media, she took classes of camera operator, steady cam, digital post production and digital photography.
She believes that it is important to learn as much as you can, and in different ways.
That’s why she uses many methods to express and develop her work: painting, photography, videoart, etc… depending on the moment and the topic she is working on, the message that she want to spread, and what works better in one way or another.
Today we are influence by the culture and the society thats tell us the way you should procide, you must take sides on every thing because if you do not people can not understand you, and you will be ridiculous, this is the cultural crash, what might be good here, might be bad in another place, all is questionable. Wether you want to or not you are playing the game.
Another way of slavery is our lifestyle, the humans live for projects and do not know how to live without plans, the future moves us, the vision of the future in the present is the hope. The humans lost the hopes when the vision of the personal future disappear because it has stopped being interesting.Then life be stop. Without future life lose his sense.
Our plan of the future is constant present in ours life also the past.
Ours life are consequence of the lost possibilities of the past, all we could have been and never materialize, this sometimes provoke nostalgia.
¨Footfalls echo in the memorydown the passage which we did not taketowards the door we never opened.
(Eliot)
Humans can feel impotent and prisoners of their nature if they can not be free, if they cannot accept their human condition, if they remain isolated.
She tend to work with that kind of topics, also with her feelings, doubts, concerns, etc., so her personal experiences will influence pretty much on her work also her friends, people that she knows, or are close to her, they are always present in her work.
About her resume, she has participated in different group exhibitions, and she worked as a painting instructor and as a photographer of different projects and events.
Now, she is excited about continuing to work and learn, forming her into a better artist and person.

¡Suénalo! (sweh-nah-low) verb
1. To sound, slap, or play upon a
musical instrument, object, or person.
Latin funk. Fusion. Jam band. Multicultural cocktail. Afro-Latin-Baby-Makin’-Descarga-Funk. Miami’s Suenalo has been crowned the Miami New Times’ Best of Miami Awards: Best Latin Rock Band in 2005, and most recently Best Latin Band in 2011. Even the lengthy hyphenated description the band came up with themselves falls short of the true breadth of what they represent. If Suenalo’s one of a kind fusion is hard to pinpoint, it’s only because no one’s ever done anything quite like it before.

Born in Rio de Janeiro, Rose realized she had the gift of singing at a very early age.
Everyone from her mother’s side was a musician. She is the great-grand daughter of the conductor and composer CUPERTINO DE MENEZES and grand daughter of the guitar player and composer MANUEL DE MENEZES. Cupertino, also a flutist, was a band member of a "choro†group led by Callado Junior and Chiquinha Gonzaga, two of the most prominent musicians from this era. Manuel was partner – in music, adventures and "Bohemia – of the most important Brazilian composer in the early 30’s – Noel Rosa.
Rose moved to Miami in October of 1993, where she has been continuing to grow and develop musically, and by keeping a constant performance schedule, she has become highly recognized in the Brazilian, Hispanic and American communities. She won the BRAZILIAN PRESS AWARD for the “Best Female Brazilian Singer Residing and Performing in the USA†in 1997, 1998 and 2001.

The Actor’s Gang, the Los-Angeles based experimental theater company founded by actor/director Tim Robbins (Bull Durham, Shawshank Redemption) brings Moléire’s quick-witted comedy Tartuffe.
“Based on the new and freer translation of David Ball — is a terrific blend of the sacred and the profane as it blends some of the traditional commedia dell’arte elements, such as masks, with the zany antics of the Marx Brothers. And still Moliere’s message about the hypocrisy of overly religious piety rings loud and clear for all ages and times, including our own†– The Hollywood Reporter

“The Rodeo†is South Florida’s premiere skateboarding event. We are certain that this year will be the biggest and best to date. We anticipate having 100+ skaters participate in the event with several hundred spectators and families throughout the day. Competitors will be traveling from as far away as Jacksonville and Key West to battle for $3,000 in cash, prizes and sponsorships.
The purpose of the Skateboard Rodeo is to help raise funds and educate our community on new and unique local 501c3 non-profit organizations within the Dade County area.
This year we will be teaming up with Amigo Skate Charity which is a local non-profit based in Miami Florida.In the past they have worked locally to help provide at risk youth with skateboard equipment, positive role models and summer skate field trips. The have also hosted food collections for the homeless, free skate instruction clinics and Christmas toy drives. Amigo Skate Charity travels to Havana Cuba twice a year to provide underprivileged children on the island with free skateboards, art supplies and music equipment. They have hosted skate contests, action sports tours and underground music events in Havana. They return to Cuba in mid-October with a group of skaters from across the globe with the purpose of bringing more skateboarding equipment and a message of international unity, hope and love…
Exciting new features have been added to this year’s roster and we have brought back some past Rodeo favorites to ensure a great time with our usual bone crushing mayhem fun! There will be plenty of free entertainment for the entire family with an interactive street art show, bounce house, live music, face painting and dodge ball! This years we have amped up the music with two live music stages. The "Main Stage’ is hosted by Armory Studios and Idle Hands Productions; with bands playing live music ranging from Surf, punk, rockabilly, thrash, ska and rock. The "Second Stage" will be hosted by Power 96, Sekajipo Genes and Catalyst; with the best in djs, electronica and live hip hop and street art. We are proud to announce that 305 Green will be hosting the “Punk Rock Flea Market†this year with a funky mix of original and eclectic finds, organic and locally made products, vegan and vegetarian food options, live interactive artists, skate shops, product expo and plenty of fun from some of the best independently run businesses in and around Miami.
Get ready for insanity! Miami Street League will be hosting what we hope will be the biggest game of Dodgeball in our Countys history. The game will be followed by a dodgeball tournament so bring your skills.
Alex Yanes will host the Pop Up Gallery with some of Miamis hottest up and coming artists painting live.
Dade County Animal Services is also coming out to host their adoption event with plenty ofcute kitty’s and puppy’s for everyone to take one home!
The skate contest portion of the event will be comprised of six different style contests; a game of skate, highest ollie, blindfolded kick flips, ledge/box contest, barrel jumping and a stair/hubba contest. Contestents will be split up into four divisions; Beginner, Intermediate 12 and under, intermediate 13 and up and Advanced. We will be adding more ramps to give the park a different feel and we have organized the contests in a way that will keep open skating in the park throughout the day ensuring a good time for everyone whether they will be competing or not.
Chris Casey will return this year to be the official contest announcer. He is best known as the cohost of Fuel TVs Captain and Casey show and has also hosted for Maloof Money Cup and Transworld Skateboarding.

Friday and Saturday, October 5-6, at 8 p.m.
Miami-Dade County Auditorium
2901 West Flagler Street
Miami, FL
www.mdclivearts.org
At the forefront of emerging trends in Spanish dance and flamenco, Nuevo Ballet Español draws on traditional dance, a 21st century pop sensibility and folkloric influences from AndalucÃa. In their new show, Cambio de Tercio, Angel Rojas and Carlos RodrÃguez, two of Spain’s most influential choreographers, deliver a dazzling mix of traditional and contemporary styles, performed by the full company of dancers and musicians in an exciting opening to MDC Live Arts’ 22nd season.
Rojas and RodrÃguez also explore the idea of transformation: from the street to the stage, from today to yesterday, from Spanish dance to flamenco music. As the British newspaper Metro states it "Rojas and RodrÃguez put a fresh spin on flamenco that taps into passions both old and new."

Joel Pollock / Panther Coffee
If the aroma doesn’t convince you, the gentle roar of the pre-WWII Probat Perfekt Roaster will — Panther stands for Coffee. Period. And its mission is evident in everything husband-and-wife team Joel Pollock and Leticia Ramos Pollock put into their place.
To begin with, every cup of coffee Panther serves is roasted on site, in small batches, each of which have their origin in farms personally-selected by the Pollocks for taste as well as and individuality. Both Joel and Leticia benefit from longstanding relationships with coffee producers throughout the world, and these friends and colleagues not only possess generations of knowledge and passion, but they produce some of the finest lots of coffee available anywhere.
After the selection of green coffee beans (using a professional technique known as “cuppingâ€), Joel uses his 20 years of experience to roast them, achieving correct development and caramelization of the sugars present within the coffee bean, without the conversion of these precious caramelized sugars into carbon, which can result in an ashy or smoky taste. Great care is taken to expose the magnificent natural sweetness and the most subtle flavor nuances often lost in the roasting process.

 Furthermore, Panther fields a team of extensively- and continuously-trained baristas to showcase these wonderful coffees and the people behind them.
There’s good reason why Panther has become the go-to spot in Miami, and why its coffees and expertise are now being implemented from here to New York City; that’s because a Panther cup of coffee is just how great coffee is meant to be enjoyed.

Flavors of Mexico and Central America Available in Doral for a Limited Time
InterContinental at Doral Miami hosts Food Festival; September 3-14, 2012
InterContinental at Doral Miami once again celebrates the Mexican and Central American Food Festival with an extensive variety of traditional menu items. The two week Food Festival is the brainchild of Oscar Salgado, the Food and Beverage Manager at the hotel. The idea is to bring the diverse food and flavors of Mexico and Central America to the pallets of hotel guests and the local community to expose new flavors to some and remind other of the traditional flavors of home.
During the Mexican food festival, some of the dishes that will be featured include, a station (estacion de antojitos) small bites/appetizers, tamales, and moles. The second week, will feature the Central American food festival. The menu items will include Honduran baleadas, and pescado con Coco. From El Salvador guests will be able to try the mouthwatering tostadas de platano, and pupusas. Indio viejo, vigoron and gallo pinto will be some of the dishes available from Nicaragua. Costa Rican cuisine will showcase camote al horno, palmitos, pescado en adobo, and ensalada de pijibay. Last but not the least, Guatemalan dishes like pacayas, torta de arroz, and pollo con loroco will be available as well.
InterContinental at Doral Miami being centrally located in the heart of Doral is proactive in engaging the community that includes not just local hotel guests but local businesses as well foreign dignitaries. According to Mr. Salgado, the idea of bringing together Mexican and Central American cuisine as a food festival began by bringing a chef from the different countries for the festivals. Today, the multicultural kitchen staff is vital to the success of the Mexican and Central American food festivals because they create their favorite national dishes, while patrons benefit from the delicious food.
The Mexican and Central American Food Festival will showcase a selection of different regional Mexican cuisines from September 3 to 14. Lunch buffet is $20.95++ (11:30-1:30 pm), late lunch is $20.00 all inclusive (1:30-3:00 pm) and the dinner specials at $24.95++.

The Underground – A new show about art in the 21st Century 9/21/12-10/13/12
The Underground – A new show about art in the 21st Century
September 21 and 22, at 7 pm each night. 
GAB Studio in Miami
105 NW 23rd Street
Miami, Florida
Oct. 12 and 13 at 7pm
The New Light Theatre at Gallery 101
3354 NE 33rd Street
Fort Lauderdale, Florida 33308
www.newlightgallery.org and www.thekrane.com
What it’s all about:
THE UNDERGROUND is a show about what it means to be an artist in the 21st century. That’s the big idea. On a narrative level, it’s about a young woman named Maude, who has just returned to live with her parents after getting an architecture degree, unsure of what to do with her life. Her parents, ex-musicians and ex-hippies, who used to open for The Dead, are baffled. Meanwhile, Maude is struggling with ideas of superficiality, wondering whether it’s even possible to create something with "depth" in this day and age. She decides that the only way to do it is to build herself an "underground." Literally, she’s digging a hole in her parent’s backyard. Will she succeed? What will she find there?
Come to the show and find out.
Why it’s Different:
The Underground isn’t just a show, it’s an event. Specifically, it is piece of "devised theater." What’s devised theatre? you ask. Vanessa Garcia, Founding Artistic Director of The Krane, explains: "This means that we didn’t start out with a script. Instead, the script arose out of the rehearsal process. I had a set of ideas I wanted to deal with — about art and what it means to make art today — and we took it from there."
In the process of creating THE UNDERGROUND, the actor’s wrote, the writer’s directed, and each member of the cast, staff, and crew became a mixed-media artist, taking on new roles.
And this is just a beginning. The show, which will run between half an hour and forty minutes, will expand from this production throughout the coming year. Garcia will take the process to LA, where she will continue to collaborate with actors, writers, and directors, to create a full length piece. The idea is to work this piece under the lead of Garcia and the co-production of Wendy White, co-founder of New Light theatre, throughout the year, and through the summer of 2013…
This 2012 launch, starting in September in Miami, is just the start of a much larger project and both Garcia and Wendy White, Co-producer and contributing writer and director, will continue to develop and, most importantly, BRING IT BACK TO MIAMI!
"The Underground brings art, song, theatre and dance to surface in a spontaneous burst of creative energy that frees the artistic souls in all of us to laughter!" states Wendy White, contributing writer and co-director of the Underground. "Join us as we break new ground theatrically with our collaborative creation revealing purely developed characters exploding with artistic passion."
What else?
For the Miami Show, we will also have a dance performance by Jessica Pusceddu and reception (drinks will be served) starting at 7 pm, right before THE UNDERGROUND takes the stage.
For the Fort Lauderdale show, there will also be pre-show beverages. And, following THE UNDERGROUND, the audience will be invited to experience another kind of "underground movement" in the artwork of Roland Ruocco. www.rolandruocco.com
Ruocco’s art series is entitled, Earth Counterpart. "Earth Counterpart is a theoretical planet, a pristine world of high vibrational energies sharing the same with and of similar dimensions to Earth, but with vastly different landmasses, climates, flora and fauna," says Ruocco of his work, which is a unique combination of art and theoretical science.
The creative development and exploration of Earth Counterpart involves mapmaking, climatology, and formulating its evolved flora and fauna, brought to life via multi media visual arts such as drawing, painting, and computer aided design.
Krane, Inc. was named Best of the City 2010 by Miami Magazine, as the best up and coming theatre company in town. http://vanessagarcia.org/press/tethrical-chairs.php. Also in 2010, Vanessa Garcia, the Founding Artistic Director of Krane, Inc. was named one of Miami’s 20 Under 40 by The Miami Herald for her work in theatre. For more information about Garcia, please visit: www.vanessagarcia.org
Wendy White and Roland Ruocco are co-Founders of the New Light Foundation, a 501(c)3 non-profit public foundation, whose mission is to serve their community by providing cultural outreach through the arts and education. More information about the writer and director, Wendy White can be found on her website: www.newlightgallery.org. Please visit: http://www.newlightgallery.org/paintingswendy/theater-resume.html
As for the companies themselves — Krane, Inc. and the New Light Foundation, Inc. have won numerous awards; have produced performances all over the world from Amsterdam to Edinburgh; New York City to Miami and have tackled subjects relating to women, love, politics, and Shakespeare.

How Do You Do It?
And now, a word from your publisher (that’s me):
Recently, someone from a very nice organization asked me for advice on how to build their own organization.
We get this question a lot, “How do you do it?†Many times it just means that people are curious how we are seemingly everywhere all the time, tirelessly networking and socializing. Sometimes people are asking how we built Life Is Art and/or Soul Of Miami up from nothing. Those two are actually related.
I thought I would share my answer to the recent inquiry, because we do get the question a lot. It is a legitimate question and one I wish I had a better answer for.
However, there are no real secret tips or tricks that I can give. It is just plain old hard work. My partner and I work, no kidding, around 90 hours a week, and have done so for almost 3 years now. Up until January of this year, I had a full time “regular jobâ€, in addition to running Life Is Art and Soul Of Miami. I am down to working my “regular job†2 days per week, but Annette still has a full-time job.
We work, almost continuously, from the time we get up until the time we fall asleep, every day of the week. That is the only way I know of do it, if you do not have the money and connections already when you start. We did not have that. When we founded Soul Of Miami and Life Is Art, we had no money and no connections (and no clue!). All of the success, such as it is, has been built purely on hard work.
Admittedly, we are experienced event producers, having done it for many years. So, we understand what needs to be done to make a successful event and how much time it is likely to take. When we started an event organization, we knew that part. That has helped a lot. But, still, starting from the bottom and working your way up is a long, slow, very hard road, but it can be trod, with persistence and passion, some good fortunate and a lot of great friends.
One of the key and large expenditures of time is networking. You have to get out there and be seen in the community, meet new people, make new friends and connections, and continue to cement the ones you already have. Almost every night we are out, shaking hands and giving out business cards. It makes a huge difference. Unless you have a serious budget to advertise, this is the only good way that I know of to get your name out there. In my opinion, this is the biggest key to Life Is Art’s growth, the fact that we actually make a serious effort to get out and meet people.
As far as building a fanbase online, it is all about content and sharing. If you do not have a blog/news page on your website, get one. Update it at least three times per week. Do not just talk about yourself. Find out what other related organizations are doing, and post their news, as well. Find news related to your mission, that your constituents might be interested in, and post that. Share what other people are doing. This not only builds you content, but it builds your relationships.
Same thing with Facebook. Take your fanpage and make sure it is updated a couple time per day. Again, not just your own stuff, share the work of others. You share their work, they will likely share yours. Same works for Twitter. One thing to remember about online work is to keep it real. This is particularly true about Twitter. Don’t just tweet about your work, tweet about your life, tweet about the life of the organization, make it personal and personable. Unfortunately, we do not have time to do this for Life Is Art, but it is what Soul Of Miami is all about.
Honestly, other than that, I have no special wisdom. Really hard work and sharing is all we do. Hopefully, one day it will work out.
– James Echols

Black Square Gallery opening of Shonagh Adelman’s solo show, Disorderly Conduct 9/13/12
Black Square Gallery opening of Shonagh Adelman’s solo show, Disorderly Conduct. 
September 13, 2012 from 6 to 9PM
Black Square Gallery
Wynwood, 2248 NW 1st Place
(corner of NW 23rd St and NW 1st Place),
Miami, FL 33127.
www.blacksquaregallery.com
On public view: From September 8 to October 9, 2012
Adelman’s most recent exhibition at Black Square Gallery renders a cast of characters out of place and time. Unlikely pairings of figure and location converge through the medium of meticulously crafted 4mm glass and acrylic crystals on canvas. The title of the exhibition takes its inspiration from Lewis Carroll’s book, “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland,†about a fantastical world in which disorderly conduct is the norm. Midway through Alice’s adventures, the Duchess advises her, “[n]ever imagine yourself not to be otherwise than what it might appear to others that what you were or might have been was not otherwise than what you had been would have appeared to them to be otherwise.â€
The first of Adelman’s series, Beast and the Booty, conjures familiar archetypes of beauty and monstrosity, and reflects them back onto the eye of the beholder, both figuratively and literally, as light refracts off the glass surface and into the viewer’s eye. Her second series, The Last Queen, depicts Marie Antoinette in the apocalyptic landscape of post-Katrina New Orleans, casting the last Queen of France in a context as unlikely as a Twilight Zone portal. Shrouding the scene in the glittery hue of crystals amplifies the incongruity. The title series, Disorderly Conduct, occupies the opulent interiors of the Palace of Versailles and the Parisian opera house, "Palais Garnier." Designed in part to facilitate the king’s attempt to consolidate power, Versailles’ resplendent chambers, festooned with silk curtains, crystal chandeliers and ornate furnishings, are imbued with power and prestige. Marie Antoinette, the last Queen to inhabit the “Grand apartment of the Queen†before the monarchy was deposed, became inextricably associated with the anecdote "Let them eat cake," a phrase that invoked the callousness of unenlightened privilege. Versailles similarly became symbolic of the exploitative excesses of absolute rule. The Palace, which was the repository for confiscated items of artistic and intellectual merit dedicated to housing the “glories of Franceâ€, and now a closely monitored museum, is an unlikely backdrop for marauding madams, merry minstrels, bicycling babes and kissing cops. To paraphrase Alice’s realization in chapter one, however, very few things are indeed impossible.
The collateral association between visual pleasure and political power in Disorderly Conduct is amplified by the use of the crystal medium. Luminosity and texture invoke a hyper-awareness of visual seduction while the humorous juxtaposition of figure and setting imparts a theatrical bent to the disorderly conduct.
Adelman has exhibited widely at distinguished institutions and galleries, including the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, The Aldrich Museum, Linda Kirkland Gallery and Fuller Museum, among others. Her work also has been featured in art publications such as Art in America, Artforum, Flash Art, Bomb Magazine and Parachute.

“The original building, constructed in 1924, was first a US Customs Warehouse serving as storage of confiscated goods and look-out post for the nefarious characters coming into Miami via the Biscayne Bay and the Miami River. The property was purchased in 1970 by Edward J McCormick, Sr. and dedicated to his father, Dr. James McCormick. Now, three generations later, Sean McCormick is not only reviving this venue but the Downtown area, creating the epicenter for the cultural crossroads of Miami. McCormick Place is a vibrant production based event space with rotating art from local Miami artists.”
