As punches accumulate, they can be redeemed for prizes along the way or saved up until the end of the season for a chance to win an all-inclusive trip for two to the Super Bowl in Indianapolis.
The “Smokin’ Season Pass Punch Card†will have two sides, one acting as a scoreboard and the other outlining guests’ predictions for a winning team on each game day. All restaurant locations will manage and distribute the cards upon a patron’s arrival and collect the cards after each game. The cards will be available to guests all season long starting on September 8th. Participants will be allowed up to two punches each game day, one for being onsite and another for correctly guessing the victorious team during one game taking place that day.
Punch 1 – If punched before halftime on September 8, 2011, guest is entered into a raffle to win $100 gift card
Punch 2 – May be redeemed for a complimentary fountain drink or *beer, guest keeps card
Punch 5 – May be redeemed for a complimentary appetizer, guest keeps card

The competitor with the most punches will receive the ultimate grand prize: airfare for two to Indianapolis along with accommodations at the Bud Light Hotel and two tickets to the Super Bowl.
Fans are encouraged to visit their nearest Smokey Bones Bar & Fire Grill for each game day throughout the season to gain points and tackle that game day hunger. The starting lineup at Smokey Bones features an array of beer on tap and specialty beverages, plus a full roster of fire-grilled favorites and signature dishes such as the Crowd Pleaser (a sampler of Fire Starter favorites including Fire Stix, Chicken Fingers and Smoked Southwest Spring Rolls served with a variety of dipping sauces); Baby Back Ribs (hand-rubbed and marinated before being hickory-smoked for four hours and fire-grilled to order); and Hand-Pulled Pork simply seasoned, slow-smoked in-house for 11 hours, then hand-pulled and piled high.
Drink specials during each game will include $2.25 Pints of Bud Light, $6.00 Pitchers of Bud Light and $10.00 Buckets of Bud, Bud Light, Michelob Ultra and Bud Light Lime (varies by location).
* Complimentary beer offerings will include Bud or Bud Light draft and is only available in participating locations in Florida

Keeping its traditional touch, the show’s creator and ACDT’s founder and director, Marcela Diaz, finds a way to stay true to Peruvian folklore while allowing it to be edged and reformed into modern day dance.
“This project has been in the works for only one year now. But has taken five long years to research,†says Marcela Diaz, Artistic Director and Choreographer of the show. She continues by saying, “I support the notion that a culture can be expressed through any well researched artistic approach, even if the culture heavily relies on tradition. What better way to share information about a culture than to bring alive its history?!â€

Dreamy Nomads Baby Lisa Slominski at DV 9/10/11
Dreamy Nomads, Baby- Lisa Slominski
Dimensions Variable
171 NE 38th Street
Design District
Miami, Florida 33137
September 10 – October 22, 2011
Reception September 10, 2011, 7 – 10 Pm
Dimensions Variable is pleased to present Dreamy Nomads, Baby—a project by London-based artist Lisa Slominski. The exhibition will run from September 10 through October 22, 2011. Dimensions Variable is located at 171 NE 38th Street in the Miami Design District.
‘Dreamy Nomads, Baby’ investigates the malleability of memory against subjectivity. Slominski focuses upon benchmarks within a collective backdrop that hold consistent in varying memories, thereby emphasizing, via comparison, our memory distortions upon the past experience. Slominski is intrigued by our inability to accurately share a memory. She draws upon this singular navigation through the past via an exchange of text messages. This call and response, while endearing and familiar, falls out of sync with one another. The lack of comprehension opens a space of dislocation and longing.
The installation for Dimensions Variable incorporates light boxes, sculpture, and a wall installation of flocked screen-prints on paper. By examining the elements of our everyday landscape, Slominski aims to create an environment which is simultaneously familiar and unfamiliar.
Intrigued by pop culture and patterns found in design, Slominski’s multi-media practice is playful but also also rhythmic through it use of repetition. Her motivations are suggestive of interior design techniques for domestic, commercial and religious spaces: she evokes recognition of the viewer’s experiences, her mitigations then disrupt the presumption.
Lisa Slominski (b. 1981) is an American artist currently living and working London. She received her BA in Visual and Critical Studies from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and her MFA in Art Practice from Goldsmiths, University of London. Slominski has shown extensively in London, and internationally including Scotland, the United States and South Africa. Curatorial projects include ‘What’s Yours Is Mine’ with Roisin Byrne and Duncan Wooldridge, as well as, ‘The Bottom Line’ including work by Richard Ansett and Patrick Coyle. In 2011, she had a solo-show in London at Tenderpixel Gallery, and was recently featured in Issue 5 of Måg Magazine.
This exhibition is made possible with support from the Fountainhead Residency, Miami

Unearthed in 1998, this archaeological site is regarded as being of local, regional, and statewide significance and perhaps even of national significance, as it is believed to be the only cut-in-rock prehistoric structural footprint ever found in eastern North America.
Hundreds of holes were exposed in a layer of Oolitic limestone bedrock, twenty-four of the largest holes comprised a perfect circle, 38 feet (12m) in diameter, and excavation found a variety of artifacts ranging from human teeth to ancient tools.
It is believed that the Tequesta Indians, a local tribe whose known tools matched some of the shark tooth-related artifacts found during excavation, inhabited this site. Theorists have suggested that the holes were structural postholes or part of the foundation for a building.
Some believe the building was used for ceremonial purposes, as animal bones and unused tools appear to be offerings.
Eleazar Delgado’s Behind the Lights: Miami collection is wholly inspired by Miami’s origins and gives a vibrant and colorful perspective on the visionaries that built our city, like Henry Flagler and Julia Tuttle, while also memorializing historical events, such as Billie Holiday’s performance at The Lyric in Overtown. His artwork’s historical and social slant have been featured on PlumTV’s Plum Daily, on CNN Español’s NotiMujer, The Miami Herald, El Nuevo Herald, Diarios Las Américas, Social Miami, Miami Magazine, Ocean Drive and 944 among others.

In her new work, Rosario Bond reveals a fresh, creative chapter of imaginary narratives devoted to the pleasurable world of delirious, feminine paraphernalia. This world depicts glamour, trends, and what is in vogue in the female universe. In Bond’s works, Twiggy, Barbie, Charlie’s Angels, Madonna, and Lady Gaga all act as axes for feminine stereotypes. They are utopian references to feminine beauty and perfection in a society of luscious bodies and pageantry. Provocative images of dripped, painted figures mingle with imperfect textures, paint, resin and plastic, and a profuse intricacy of feminine simulacra. Images of fashion models cut out from magazines, high-end costume jewelry, luxurious fabrics, fashionable robes, designer shoes, perfumes, and cosmetics conform to the tumultuous arrangement of articles in which the feminine myth materializes. It is “beauty and perfection” as the ultimate goal; or the beauty queen as the ‘feminine mystique’, present in the illusionistic theater of our contemporary values. Using irony, parody, and political stanza, Bond’s paintings, installations, and sculptures reflect on these crucial female predicaments and the insatiable quest for beauty and physical perfection.

The married couple originally from Russia see dance as more than just a fun pass time, to them it’s a precious art form that all persons can learn to further express their individuality. This amazing couple knows as their professional dance accomplishments include World Master Champions, Fred Astaire National Champions, and United States National Finalists. They have dedicated themselves to teaching dance all over the U.S. for several years teaching Ballroom, Latin, and Swing to Salsa and Argentine Tango and other forms of dance. They are proud to have earned many awards for teaching dance. They now are excited to find themselves opening their own studio in the heart of Coral Gables.

The dream of owning their own dance studio is finally coming to fruition for this couple that truly believes in the power of dance. Vera Kosarev is a firm believer that dances can help with weight loss, overall health, and confidence. She points to the wildly popular Dancing with the Stars show as proof positive that ballroom and other types of dance are beneficial as most celebrities on the show express how the experience was life changing for them. In, fact the Fred Astaire Dance Studio model (Conceptual Method of Teaching) which has been around for 60 years is the same method used on Dancing with the Stars because students’ learn faster and progress more quickly. Fred Astaire Dance Studio in Coral Gables will offer private lessons, group instruction, and will offer weekly practice parties. A big part of what they offer is dance lessons for those future brides and grooms that will have the spot light on them during their big wedding day!
Vera and Vladimir Kosarev want you to be as passionate about dance as they are and invite Coral Gables to begin their journey of dance with them at their new studio. They promise that [those], who walk into Fred Astaire Dance Studio, are guaranteed to have a great time.

From the television sets of hit series “Dallas†and “Walker, Texas Rangerâ€, to the beauty aisle of your local Walgreens store, comes actress Sheree J. Wilson to launch the new Nurigene Skincare Regimen with a series of pop up beauty events featuring free in-depth skin consultations and product demonstrations. Recommended to by a longtime friend and Walgreens pharmacist, Wilson has been a satisfied customer of the scientifically-based skin care regimen for months and has recently signed on as the brand’s official spokesperson.
On Thursday, September 15, 2011, and Friday, September 16, 2011, Sheree will appear at select Walgreens stores in Aventura, Sunny Isles Beach and Boca Raton as an in-store Nurigene skincare specialist. Shoppers can meet with Sheree to ask questions, discuss individual concerns with a pharmacist and discover solutions to their most stressful, aging skincare problems.
Within 28 days, the Nurigene skin care regimen utilizes creatine ascorbate to deliver a visible difference in the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and discoloration. Creatine nourishes the skin to increase cellular energy, and the ascorbate provides the antioxidant activity of Vitamin C for free radical protection. The result is healthier, younger looking skin.

Internationally renowned creative misfit and artistic anomaly EVL World’s, Erni Vales has announced that he will be breaking away from his 13 show series “An Unusual Journey†to present a special collection of patriotic paintings and raise funds for charity as a tribute of 9/11 during the Art District/Wynwood Art Walk, on September 10, 2011.
Prior to the 9/11 atrocities, Vales had compiled approximately 10-15 versions of the American Flag. With perceptions of the national symbol changing after the 9/11 events Vales decided to refrain from these paintings promising to revisit the theme when the time was appropriate, 10 years later that time is now.
10 years later, Vales will debut his new American Flag series and give significant amount of the profits sold to “ Stephen Siller: Tunnels to Towers†a non-profit organization dedicated to honoring the legacy and work of New York City Firefighter, Stephen Siller, who passed away during 9/11. The organization has two main programs: In the line of Duty and In the name of love; assisting children through scholarships, supporting Stephen’s House for orphaned, abused and neglected children, building homes for surviving quadriplegics from combat, and finally the memorial Tunnel To Towers Run, which supports the Weill-Cornell Burn Center and Burn Centers across America.

september 10 – october 28, 2011
Dina Mitrani Gallery is proud to present Marina Font’s second solo exhibition in the gallery, Imprinted. In this new photographic series, Marina Font utilizes images and installations illustrating concepts of memory, tradition, and the experience of adopting a new homeland. The objects chosen for her work denote nostalgia and the poetry of conjoining the past and the present. Although the work is inspired by the artist’s personal experiences, the issues of identity and how the human mind stores its memories are universal.
Marina Font was born in Cordoba, Argentina in 1970 and moved to Miami fifteen years ago. She studied visual arts at the Escuela de Artes Visuales Martin Malharro in Argentina and focused on photography at Speos Ecole de la Photographie in Paris. She earned her MFA in photography from Barry University in Miami two years ago and lives in Miami Beach with her husband and three sons.
Dina Mitrani Gallery opened in November 2008 and specializes in international contemporary photography. The gallery represents emerging and mid-career artists, offers artists talks and lectures on photography as well as photo-based books. The gallery is committed to promoting its artists, as well as working with independent curators to produce unique group exhibitions.

Focus Gallery: Joel Meyerowitz – Aftermath
In commemoration of the 10th anniversary of 9/11, Miami Art Museum presents “Focus Gallery: Joel Meyerowitz – Aftermath,” an exhibition of photographs taken by the only photographer granted right of entry into Ground Zero after the September 11, 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center in New York City. For nine months during the day and night, Meyerowitz photographed “the pile,” as the World Trade Center came to be known, and the over 800 people a day that were working in it. The exhibition consists of 24, recently-donated photographs, presented in the Focus Gallery section of the Museum’s Permanent Collection installation.
“I was making photographs for everyone who didn’t have access to the site,†says Meyerowitz, “I wanted to communicate what it felt like to be in there as well as what it looked like: to show the pile’s incredible intricacy and visceral power. I could provide a window for everyone else who wanted to be there, too, to help, or to grieve, or simply to try to understand what had happened to our city.â€
About the experience, Meyerowitz has written, “The nine months I worked at Ground Zero were among the most rewarding of my life. I came in as an outsider, a witness bent on keeping the record, but over time I began to feel a part of the very project I’d been intent on recording… the intense camaraderie I experienced at Ground Zero inspired me, changing both my sense of myself and my sense of responsibility to the world around me. September 11th was a tragedy of almost unfathomable proportions. But living for nine months in the midst of those individuals who faced that tragedy head-on, day after day, and did what they could to set things right, was an immense privilege.â€
The photographs in MAM’s collection are from a unique set of contact prints (photographs printed on a 1:1 scale from the negatives) issued by the artist in 2006. As a group, they span the entire nine month period that Meyerowitz was on site, presenting a poignant, condensed view of the clean up effort, including portraits of the workers involved. The set is introduced by a single image of the World Trade Center towers taken by the artist in the 1980s from his apartment window.
The entire set of more than 8,000 photographs taken by Meyerowitz form an archive at the Museum of the City of New York. The Aftermath series was the focus of a 2006 book, Aftermath: World Trade Center Archives published by Phaidon (reissued this year in a special 10th anniversary edition) and an exhibition organized by the US Department of State that traveled worldwide from 2002 to 2005.

Le Cafe
7295 Biscayne Blvd.
Miami, FL
Facebook Evite.
A music event created for us Miami folk who get chills to the raw sounds of the rasp in a voice, the plucking of acoustic strings, and the lyrical content from the creative minds of some of the most talented songwriters that originated in Miami, Fl. Join us at our corner cafe in the MiMo district for some decadent French tastings, crisp shades of whites and reds, and an intimate environment created for friends and family to come together and enjoy the sounds of their local artists including: Jesse Jackson, Jill Hartmann, Vic Kingsley, Sarah Packiam, and Vincent Raffard.
Jill Hartmann: “With a voice as pliable as molasses, Jill Hartmann coos with a subdued sensuality that makes even her most unadorned offerings sound daringly seductive.” – Miami New Times
Jesse Jackson – A Miami legend that plays Country/Blues/Roots/Folk to Americana originals. He just finished his debut record which will be released soon.
Vic Kingsley is a singer-songwriter based out of Miami, FL and Los Angeles, CA. Kingsley’s music is a merger of traditional American music and modern soundcape.
Sarah Packiam describes her style as a blend of acoustic pop, traditional Irish music, a touch of India and sultry vocals. Sarah Packiam was born and raised in Ireland. Mandolin, traditional Irish instruments and tablas have been combined to create beautiful backdrops for her extremely catchy alternative/pop melodies.
Vincent Raffard: French singer,songwriter Vincent Raffard from Paris doesn’t neatly fit into any stylistic category, which makes his music the more provocative, bearing a strong hold on French traditional style , sexy, acoustic, pop songs that defy gender stereotypes as well as contemporary minimalist approach to his music.
David Castillo Gallery presents Crushed Candy Reception 9/8/11
Crushed Candy Reception
Thursday, September 8, 6-10 pm
David Castillo Gallery
2234 NW 2nd Avenue
Miami, Florida 33127
September 8 – October 1, 2011
David Castillo Gallery is pleased to present Crushed Candy, a sixth anniversary exhibition with works by Jonathan Ehrenberg, Shara Hughes, Meredith James, and the TM Sisters (Tasha & Monica Lopez de Victoria). Anniversaries give pause for remembrance and revelry. Crushed Candy acknowledges the permeability of established aesthetic and art historical foundations and emblazons the significance of saturation, humor, and celebration. The result is an arcade of phenomenological experience where the human body follows an ironic second to architecture and environment. “The medium is the message,” infamously coined by Marshall McLuhan, foregrounds materiality and creates unexpected freedom to maneuver in the space remaining. The works in Crushed Candy test their mettle against the sweet ease of perception. They take as their premise a studio practice as steadfast as iron and finished forms as urgent and fantastical as the future state of candy.
Jonathan Ehrenberg streamlines his four-fold gusto for set design, still life, pantomime, and Noh Theater into videos and works on paper. A contemporary fabulist, Ehrenberg’s primary performers are animal, plant, mineral, and architecture. Human forms are latecomers to Ehrenberg’s party, arriving after the mechanical significance of his dramatic sets, transitional lighting, and raw craft of papier-mâché masks or chiffon cloud-cover. Ehrenberg’s primary occupation is creating texture for the experience of the moving image.
Shara Hughes’ mixed media on canvas works add a visual clause to the Theory of Relativity. Reveling in color, texture, and pattern, Hughes extends the dazzling invitation to believe in personal motion whether or not the source is a train on a parallel track. Viewer association may propel the interior spaces and anthropological evidence that inhabit Hughes’ canvases, or her milieu may propel viewer expectations with a jolt of the uncanny. Hughes’ works offer a visual vocabulary as tight as Etch A Sketch and Keith Haring. All Hughes’ world is an imaginative holodeck, and her subjects and viewers equal players.
Meredith James’ videos are dioramic excursions traversing interior and exterior architectures. Using tropes of cinematic transition, illusion, and simple special effects, James enacts transparent complications and solutions to her space-time relationship with elements both fabricated and real. James’ steady rove through unrelenting stage curtains, dollhouse proportions, nostalgic television sets, and the cues of bourgeois place-settings in Present Time identifies her increasingly less as a chic marauder and more as a pantomime of humorous delight springing from her environment like Chutes and Ladders. Present Time is a digital tourniquet to Truffaut’s infamous film Day for Night, wherein a fictional film’s plot, production, and the personal lives of its actors jostle for narrative dominance like waves crashing against the fourth wall.
The TM Sisters collaborate in video, performance, large-scale installation, and two-dimensional works to break the walls of time, tense, and consciousness. Their brand of exuberant, aquarium dance rites and colorful performance court viewers with the inherent movement of telepathy, hypnosis, light tricks, and the seriousness of play. The TM Sisters use media to probe human behavior as a disco ball entreats even the reluctant to the dance floor. Tasha and Monica Lopez de Victoria hijack technological nostalgia, youth couture, and the spiritual force that dares space and inhabitants both real and imagined, organic and artificial, to celebrate as one. Based in Miami, the TM Sisters channel their aesthetic to close the connotative distance between tropical and topical in all environments and experiences.
Jonathan Ehrenberg received his MFA from Yale and has exhibited widely and received a number of important residencies including the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council’s Workspace (2010-2011). A graduate of Rhode Island School of Design, Shara Hughes’ upcoming exhibitions include “Paint” at the Saatchi Gallery, London. Meredith James received her MFA from Yale University and a recent screening of her work was at the ICA Boston in 2010. Tasha and Monica Lopez de Victoria (TM Sisters) received degrees from New World School of the Arts and Florida International University respectively, and have exhibited widely in museum exhibitions nationally and internationally.

Dome Drift Wes Kline and Cristina Molina Opening Reception 9/16/11
Dome Drift
Opening Reception: Friday, September 16, 2011 8pm
6th Street Container
1155 (rear) Southwest 6th St.
Little Havana, FL 33130

6thstreetcontainer@gmail.com
Dome Drift: Wes Kline + Cristina Molina
Thru: October, 2011
6th Street Container is pleased to present Dome Drift, a collaborative site-specific work by Wes Kline and Cristina Molina.
Choral speech and shaped bodies materialize in an installation that depicts a group of individuals, including an architect, a dancer, a mathematician, and a singer, engaging in plans for construction of a dome within the 6th Street Container. In conjuring an ephemeral dome in the gallery space, Kline and Molina address architectural and social ideals, suggesting a form that seems to simultaneously collapse and coalesce. Its attachment to the production of community, and Fuller’s ‘Universal Architecture’ makes the dome an ideal container for the exploration for the questions of intimacy, isolation and potentiality.
Molina and Kline work primarily through video and photography installations that use gestural strategies to explore history, landscape, desire, and repetition.
Wes Kline is an artist, writer and assistant professor of photography at University of Florida in Gainesville, Florida. He received his MFA from the University of Illinois, Chicago. His photo and video work explores philosophical problems related to idealism and ethics, and he shows his work nationally and internationally. Cristina Molina is an artist who lives and works in Miami, Florida. Molina received a BA in Psychology and a BFA in Digital Media from Florida International University. Her work has been exhibited in both local and international venues.

Summer Photo Show 2011 and One Night Stand Exhibition Series 9/10/11
Summer Photo Show 2011
Saturday, September 10th from 6:00pm
The Lunch Box Gallery
310 NW 24th. St.
Miami, FL 33127
(Wynwood Art District).
The Lunch Box Gallery is pleased to announce its new group exhibition “Summer Photo Show 2011â€, featuring the photography work of twelve national artists. The showcased pieces are part of a call for entries oriented to artists working in all styles of photography including any mixed-media art that utilized photography as one of its forms of expression. All photographic methods, formats, types and schools were welcomed.
In this show, The Lunch Box Gallery is exhibiting works of insightful conceptual ideals materialized through exceptional craftsmanship, which are intended to represent fascinating takes and points of view in photography nowadays. The range of photography tendencies to be found in the show is vast: from experimental and documentary photography, to observational, underwater and narrative photography, they all convey on representing an individual concept and a very particular way of externalizing it.
Photographers participating in the show include:
Troy Colby (Kansas), Wes Kline (Florida), Charlotta Hauksdottir (California), Jordan Baumgarten (New Jersey), Bill Miller (New York), Claire Nelson (Florida), Anastasia Samoylova (Illinois), Marc Sirinsky (Virginia), Deb Schwedhelm (Florida), Missy Nuzzo (Pennsylvania), Alex Crowell (California) and Ernesto Barreto (Florida).
Along with the “Summer Photo Show 2011â€, the gallery will be having its 3rd “One Night Stand Exhibition Series†project, where every month a promising Florida photography student is selected to exhibit in the gallery during the popular Gallery Walks, every second Saturday of the month. This time, the documentary series entitled “A Single Moment†from the Miami International University of Art and Design student Janel Kilnisan will be featured.
According to Janel, “Everyone has a moment in the day where they want to just get away from the chaos of the world, and escape in their own thoughts. Reflecting on life, figuring out where to go next, or how they ended up here in this moment. This series is a narrative portrait series that explores that of the everyday individual, the people that could be your friend, brother, sister, neighbor, or mother. I chose to photographs my subjects in their own environment, capturing them at the quietest, loneliest, even most personal moments; the moment where they are in there own thoughts.â€
Janel chooses to shot this series with her medium format, twin lens camera. Using it allowed her to be at the same level with her subjects, utilizing her camera more as a window and allowing the viewer to become a spectator into her subject’s world.

The Beyond the Lucky Break Celebration and Fundraiser raises awareness of the film, and it supports the second phase of the film’s production. If you come to the Friday night event, you’ll also get a chance to meet some of the professionals already on film, part of Street’s production team, and get a sneak peak at the great insights to be shared at the conference. The evening’s fundraiser will feature drinks, hors d’oeuvres, and music by DJ One Star, all of which is included in the $10 admission.
In this new era of changing economies and instability, who’s most equipped to be successful? Neri Street thinks that it’s the creative professional. So for a decade, she’s supported people in non-traditional careers, knowing that she was ahead of a coming trend. She’s been a long-time performer and successful arts advocate who uses film to reach a wide audience.
Now, she’s taking her message of creative entrepreneurship to the budding economy in the Caribbean, thanks to an invitation from online blogger, Melissa Hunter. The Edna Manley College of Visual Arts in Kingston, Jamaica is hosting a global arts conference in October. Street will be there, showing an extended trailer from her documentary, Beyond the Lucky Break, and discussing the potential breakthroughs for the artists and other entrepreneurs there.
It’s also a homecoming for Street, because her family emigrated from Jamaica.

In a global society where languages float across borders, race and class, we have become a nation of polyglot people. At the University of Miami our student body represents 146 nations and it is common to walk across the campus and hear conversations in more than two or three languages. Not unusual when you consider that the U.S. Census Bureau has determined that the number of people speaking a language other than English at home has doubled in the last three decades. The Creative Writing Department’s reading series, Polyglot Writers: Writing Across Languages explores the fluidity of words as they define and redesign the narratives of writers who come from multiple languages, cultures and traditions.
This year, we have also partnered with Books & Books to host writers’ salons. Join us as we engage in fine desserts, after dinner drinks, and conversations that focus on the play of language in all its forms.
We will kick off the series Tuesday, September 6, and Wednesday, September 7, with UM visiting professors, Cristina GarcÃa and John Murillo.
GarcÃa is the author of five novels including Dreaming in Cuban, The Agüero Sisters, Monkey Hunting, A Handbook to Luck, and The Lady Matador’s Hotel. Her work has been nominated for a National Book Award and has been translated into fourteen languages. She is the recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship, a Whiting Writers’ Award, a Hodder Fellowship at Princeton University, and an NEA grant.
John Murillo is the author of the poetry collection, Up Jump the Boogie. He has received fellowships from Cave Canem, the New York Times, the Wisconsin Institute of Creative Writing, and the Fine Arts Work Center in Provincetown, Massachusetts. His work has appeared in such publications as Callaloo, Court Green, Ninth Letter, and Ploughshares, and is forthcoming in Angles of Ascent: A Norton Anthology of African-American Poetry.
Other authors in the “Polyglot Writers†Reading Series include Susana Chávez-Silverman, Nathalie Handal, Ishion Hutchinson, and Bino A. Realuyo.
“Polyglot Writers†Reading Series is sponsored by the University of Miami’s Creative Writing Program, Department of English, College of Arts and Sciences, American Studies Program, Women’s and Gender Studies Program, Department of Modern Languages and Literatures’ Joseph Carter Memorial Fund, Multicultural Student Affairs, and our partners at Books & Books.

The Beyond the Lucky Break Celebration

Sailboat Bend Artist Lofts/Broward Historical Commission
301 Harmon (S.W. 13th) Ave
Fort Lauderdale, 33312
www.beyondtheluckybreak.org
Sugarcane Magazine Presents: The Beyond The Lucky Break Documentary Celebration and Fundraiser on Friday, September 16, from 8-11 PM at the Broward Historical Commission. Admission is $10, and includes music, poetry, food and film.
The Beyond the Lucky Break Celebration and Fundraiser raises awareness of the film, and it supports the second phase of the film’s production. If you come to the Friday night event, you’ll also get a chance to meet some of the professionals already on film, part of Street’s production team, and get a sneak peak at the great insights to be shared at the conference. The evening’s fundraiser will feature drinks, hors d’oeuvres, and music by DJ One Star, all of which is included in the $10 admission.
In this new era of changing economies and instability, who’s most equipped to be successful? Neri Street thinks that it’s the creative professional. So for a decade, she’s supported people in non-traditional careers, knowing that she was ahead of a coming trend. She’s been a long-time performer and successful arts advocate who uses film to reach a wide audience.
Now, she’s taking her message of creative entrepreneurship to the budding economy in the Caribbean, thanks to an invitation from online blogger, Melissa Hunter. The Edna Manley College of Visual Arts in Kingston, Jamaica is hosting a global arts conference in October. Street will be there, showing an extended trailer from her documentary, Beyond the Lucky Break, and discussing the potential breakthroughs for the artists and other entrepreneurs there.
It’s also a homecoming for Street, because her family emigrated from Jamaica.

Mythic Traditions in World Art from the Lowe Art Museum
Through October 23, 2011
Sacred Stories, Timeless Tales addresses multi-cultural mythic traditions in art, drawn exclusively from the permanent collection of the University of Miami Lowe Art Museum, which distinguishes itself among South Florida art museums by the depth and breadth of its holdings, which span 5,000 years and represent the art of Europe, the Americas, pan-Asia, and Africa. Concepts of creation, love, morality, mortality, seasonal regeneration, the cosmos, beauty, divinity, heroes, and war are explored in over 100 examples of pottery and ceramics, paintings, works on paper, sculpture, and textiles.
Mythic traditions are rooted in fictitious, symbolic narratives developed by cultures through time, which address the relationship between the inexplicable and the explicable, between the powers and forces that control the world and the human beings who occupy that world. Frequently reflecting regional differences, these sacred stories helped, and in some present-day cultures continue to help elucidate a people’s religion, history, value systems, rituals, and concepts of self. As myths exist apart from, and are not dependent upon, verifiable facts or scientific objectivity for their impact on society, they typically involve deities, heroes, wondrous creatures, and fantastic events. Some renderings faithfully adhere to time-honored visual conventions. Others reflect more personal interpretations of traditional subject matter.
Among the featured objects are a 6th century BCE Greek, black-figure hydria, which describes a myth about the goddess Athena in the presence of Ajax and Achilles; Jacob Jordaen’s The Judgment of Pari, painted around 1620; storyteller figure by Native American artist Mary Trujillo; an African Kuba mask known as Moshambwooy that represents the myth of the ancestral figure Woot; a 19th century Japanese wood-block print that relates a ghost story; Richard Stankiewicz’s scrap metal sculpture, The River Styx, from 1953; St. George by Moises Finale; Theodoros Stamos’ Persephone from 1945; a contemporary metal cutout of a siren by Haitian artist Serge Jolimeau; and a 10th century sandstone sculpture of Ganesha Breaking His Tusk to Throw at the Moon.
Mythological narratives were originally transmitted and preserved orally, during eras when people could neither read nor write, and paper was not available. Written traditions did not develop until a later moment on mankind’s cultural time line, as scribes and poets sought to formally preserve stories in writing, lest they disappear. Artistic expression dramatically bridges both word-based systems, transforming into vivid pictorial or sculptural forms, concepts that spoken and textual forms of communication can only convey through mental images. Regardless of cultural derivation or individual inspiration, all the works on the exhibition represent an artistic urge to visually address those universal questions to which mythologies respond, and which unite humankind through time.
The Lowe Art Museum is located at the University of Miami at 1301 Stanford Drive, Coral Gables. Hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays, 12 to 7 p.m. Thursdays and 12 to 5 p.m. Sundays. Regular Admission (not including special events) is $10; $5 for Seniors and Non-UM Students; Free for Lowe Art Museum Members, University of Miami students, faculty and staff, and children under 12. For more information on membership or the museum, call 305.284.3535 or visit www.lowemuseum.org.

Composer, multi-instrumentalist and vocalist Big Poppa E is a prominent and influential figure in the late 20th century blues and roots music. Though his career began more than four decades ago with American jazz, he has broadened his artistic scope over the years to include music representing many varied genres. Born Mutasim Ra’id Faisal in New York in 1948, his father was a jazz pianist, composer and arranger of Caribbean descent, and his mother was a gospel singing schoolteacher from Louisiana. Early in his childhood, the young musician learned to play the tenor and alto sax, trombone and harmonica, and he loved to sing. He discovered his father’s guitar and became serious about it in his early teens when a guitarist from Mississippi moved in next door and taught him the various styles of Muddy Waters, Lightnin’ Hopkins, John Lee Hooker and Jimmy Reed and other titans of Delta and Chicago blues.
Musi, as he was affectionately called, studied economics at Syracuse University in the late 1960s and later law at the University of Chicago. Inspired by a dream, he adopted the musical alias of E and later was crowned “Big Poppa E” by one of Miami’s top promoters, DJ Oski. After graduating, he headed west in to Los Angeles, where he worked as a studio musician for the next 15 years. Around this same time, Poppa E also mingled with various blues legends, including Koko Taylor, Muddy Waters, Junior Wells, and Sleepy John Estes. This diversity of musical experience served as the bedrock for Poppa E’s first three recordings: Southern Style: Blues Sessions (2006), Mississippi Reminiscence (2007) and Five Long Years, A Tribute to Carey Bell (2008). Drawing on all the sounds and styles he’d absorbed as a child and a young adult, these early albums showed signs of the musical exploration that would be Poppa E’s hallmark over the next few years.
In 2008, Poppa E carved out a unique musical niche with a string of adventurous recordings, including “Blues A Healerâ€, “Crossroads†and “Anthology du Bluesâ€. In 2008, Poppa E’s version of “Terraplane Blues†was nominated by the International Academy of Independent Artist for Best Blues Song of the Year and his album, “Blues A Healer†was nominated for Best Blues Album of the Year by Cash Box Magazine. Poppa E’s recorded output slowed somewhat during 2010 as he toured relentlessly and immersed himself in the music and culture of his new home in Miami. Still, 2010 saw the well-received release of “Big Poppa E Live†in 2010, as well as his celebrated children’s album, “Children’s Classics†on the Black Owl Music label.
Poppa E is headed back into the studio in early 2011 to work on a new projected aptly entitled, “Bootleggers Bluesâ€. As the title suggests, this twelve-track set marks the fortieth anniversary of Poppa E’s rich and varied recording career by mixing original material, chestnuts borrowed from classic sources, and songs written by a cadre of highly talented guest artists from around the globe. “The one thing I’ve always demanded of the records I’ve made is that they be listenable and danceable,” he says. “If the record is danceable, it’s listenable, it has lots of different rhythms, it’s accessible, it’s all right in front of you. It’s a lot of fun, and it represents where I am at this particular moment in my life. This record is just the beginning of another chapter, one that’s going to be open to more music and more ideas. Even at the end of forty years, in many ways my music is just getting started.”

Experience Rumi’s timeless message of love and hope in this extraordinary world-class performance of poetry, music, dance, story and humor. “Food for the soul!”
The Rumi Concert, a collaboration with 100 Thousand Poets for Change, is the largest poetry reading in history. Poets in 400 cities representing 90 countries are currently organizing the largest poetry reading in history with over 500 individual events scheduled to take place simultaneously on September 24th to promote environmental, social, and political change. Bob Holman and Margery Snyder, in a recent article on About.com said, “the beauty of the concept of 100 Thousand Poets for Change is that it is completely decentralized and completely inclusive.â€
Coleman Barksis world-renowned for his translation and moving recitation of Rumi. His most recent volume, The Book of Love joins his best seller, The Essential Rumi, in touching the hearts of people from all walks of life. Jelaluddin Rumi, Sufi teacher, mystic and poet of lyrical spiritual power has become the most read poet in America, due in large part to the work of Coleman Barks.
ABOUT RUMI (1207-1273) was a teacher, mystic, founder of what we now know a “Whirling Dervishes,” and a poet of lyrical spiritual power. Born in Afghanistan, Rumi was teaching in Konya, Turkey in 1244 when he met the powerful spiritual seeker, Shams of Tabriz. Through his association with Shams, Rumi found a deeper level within himself that he called “The Friend.” Rumi created some 20,000 poems as oral extemporizations that were recorded by his students. He believed that prayer has a form and physical equivalent and that every thought has an expressive action. Many of his verses are fervent love poems, although the eroticism is a metaphor of the soul’s longing for God’s love.
ABOUT THE ARTISTS
COLEMAN BARKS
For thirty years the poet Coleman Barks has been collaborating with various Persian scholars to bring the poetry of Rumi and other mystic poets to the American public. This work has resulted in over eighteen volumes, leading to the best-selling Essential Rumi (HarperCollins, 1995), two hour-long appearances on Bill Moyers’ PBS specials, and inclusion in the prestigious Norton Anthology of World Masterpieces. Celebrating Rumi’s 800th birthday and coinciding with international celebrations of the event, Barks’ offering RUMI: BRIDGE TO THE SOUL (HarperOne; September 2007) is a beautiful collection of poems by the Sufi master. Barks taught poetry and creative writing in various universities for thirty-four years. He has published six volumes of his own poetry, most recently Tentmaking and Club: Granddaughter Poems (Maypop, 2001). His most recent publication (2010) is Rumi: The Big Red Book, the collected translations from Rumi’s Divan, sometimes called the THE SHAMS. He is now a retired Professor Emeritus of English from the University of Georgia in Athens. He received the Juliet Hollister Award (2004) for his work in the interfaith area. His Rumi translations have sold over half a million copies worldwide and have touched the hearts of people from all walks of life. Barks and Zuleikha have maintained an ongoing collaboration on the Rumi Concert for a number of years. www.colemanbarks.com.
DAVID DARLING
World renowned, classically trained cellist and composer David Darling celebrates the human spirit through his provocative, eclectic music. David spent the early part of his career touring the world with the Paul Winter Consort. He has performed with, among others, Bobby McFerrin, SpyroGyra, Peter Kater, R. Carlos Nakai and the late Joseph Campbell. Referred to as the “Maverick” cellist, Darling is known for his playfulness and improvisational skills and he is thought by many to have redefined the way the cello is played. He has over fifty album and screen credits as soloist and in collaboration with other groups and musicians and his credits include the 2010 Grammy Award for best “New Age Album.” www.daviddarling.com.
GLEN VELEZ
A five-time Grammy award-winning artist, internationally recognized frame drummer, composer, scholar, and teacher, Glen Velez has created his own musical style inspired by both Western percussion and frame drum performance styles from around the world.

ZULEIKHA

The public is invited to a grand dinner featuring the renowned chefs of the Paradores of Spain, which kicks off the festivities at The Biltmore Hotel. There will be no better place to indulge in the culinary experiences that Spain has to offer than the upcoming “Real Castles in Spain†dinner.
On Thursday, October 20th, the Museum will host the rare gastronomical event at Coral Gables’ own Giralda-inspired hotel, featuring the chefs of the Paradores, the one-of-a-kind luxury hotels located in various historic locations, including castles throughout Spain.

Rising Artist Cecilia Moreno-Yaghoubi Celebrates Hispanic Heritage Month By Putting It All On The Clothesline, Exposing Memories Of Native Past
In celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month (September 15 – October 15), Cecilia Moreno-Yaghoubi unveils How I Lost My Accent: The Black and White Series – a pop-up exhibition about the Colombian artist’s repressed and unearthed memories. In addition to presenting new oil and mixed media paintings, a series of clotheslines mounted with dated worn dresses, pinned with weathered black and white photos and antique dolls, will transform the space into a virtual maze of the unconscious mind. Reconstructing and romanticizing the past with found objects and two-dimensional works, Moreno-Yaghoubi creates a tangible reflection of her memory for viewers. For more information please visit www.ceciliamyart.com or call 917.295.0191.
On view until October 8, 2011, events are free and open to the public, including:
· Thursday, September 15, 2011 at 6:30 p.m. | Panel Discussion featuring Miami’s visual arts leaders, curated by Vanessa Garcia (Krane, Inc. performance arts group, The Miami Herald’s “20 Under 40â€, nationally-published writer)
· Saturday, October 8, 2011 at 7:00 p.m. | A bittersweet ending, closing reception with custom “black and white†Cakeshooters courtesy of Sprinkles cakes
“As a Colombian immigrant who – even after 40 years – struggles with feelings of displacement, I have rewritten my past many times to fit into this country’s melting pot philosophy,†said Moreno-Yaghoubi. “Coming of age in America, I felt rushed to lose my accent and adopt a new identity. The Black and White Series is inspired by my childhood memories and how watching my mother sew, collect odds and ends, and hang-on to everything for fear that it could be taken away has informed my artistic voice.â€
In Cali, Colombia, the artist often spent time playing with her dolls beside her mother while she labored over the sewing machine, making clothes to sell and generate income for her eight children. The exhibit How I Lost My Accent: The Black and White Series is a reflection of Moreno-Yaghoubi’s experiences and nostalgic nature, and has generously been supported by DACRA. In addition to aforementioned event dates, the pop-up exhibit will be open September 10 to October 8, 2011, Wednesday through Friday from 12:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.

Sunny Suits Exhibition at Fredric Snitzer Gallery Opening Reception 9/9/11
Sunny Suits Regular Lovers
Opening Reception: Friday September 9, 2011 7:30-10 pm
Fredric Snitzer Gallery
2247 NW 1st Place
Miami, FL 33127
September 9 – October 3, 2011
Sunny Suits’ solo exhibition is titled Regular Lovers, borrowing its name from a Philippe Garrel film. Like Garrel, Suits works from her own life and relationships, giving us starkly honest insights into her private world through the portrayal of friends and lovers.
The photographs individually offer us glimpses of respective figures in Suits’ life. As with the work of Garrel, Cassavetes, or even Fassbinder the same characters reoccur throughout her work. Whilst her photographs speak in conjunction with social realism through their honest presentations, perhaps the most intriguing aspect of the collection is how Suits herself manages to authentically capture this aesthetic. These are not candid photos, yet they betray the same intimacy as if they were impromptu. Even when the subjects look into the camera itself, it seems it is Suits they see rather than a lens; it is she they continually respond to rather than the camera.
Accompanied by contextualizing still lives, the sense of Suits’ consistent presence in each situation, in each photograph, lends an intimacy beyond the relationships displayed between couples; their setting, either indoors or in darkness, further privatizes the situation. It is, in fact, Suits’ own engagement with her friends and lovers and her comprehension of the dynamics of the lovers she photographs that gives the exhibition it’s true narrative. The photographs present viewers with a narrative of unusually honest self-reflection through the engagement of others.
A soundtrack of music selected by Suits especially for Regular Lovers will play throughout the exhibition.

Chinese Musical performance by the Chinese Performing Arts Group. Hear the tantalizing sounds of the Guzheng, Hulsi and Violin. Cocktails by Bacardi and wine by Rex Goliath
The University of Miami Lowe Art Museum presents 150 photographic works by seven photographers from mainland China in the exhibition, China: Insights, on view November 12, 2011-January 15, 2012. The artists explore the relationship between contemporary photography and visual culture by undertaking the creation of a long-term documentation of one or more aspects of Chinese culture that reflects something vital about China now — whether that is something emerging or something vanishing.
The seven photographers—Chen Yuan Zhong, Hua Er, Jia Yu Chuan, Li Nan, Yang Yan Kang, Yu Haibo, and Zhang Xinmin—earn their livings as either freelance or staff photographers (or, in one case, as a freelance writer). Collectively, these photographers have numerous publications, exhibitions, and awards to their credit, but little of their work has appeared outside mainland China.
“China: Insights complements the Lowe’s rich holdings in traditional Chinese pre-modern artâ€, said Brian A. Dursum, the Lowe’s Director and Chief Curator, whose area of specialty is Chinese art and pre-modern history.
Six of the seven photographers — Chen Yuan Zhong, Hua Er, Jia Yu Chuan, Yang Yan Kang, Yu Haibo, and Zhang Xinmin — are based in Shenzhen. Just across the border from Hong Kong in southern China, Shenzhen was the first of the Special Economic Opportunity Zones established by China in the post-Mao era, as magnets for entrepreneurs and educated people in all fields. Already a world-renowned center for printing and information technology, among other industries, Shenzhen was a fishing and farming community with a population of roughly 20,000 in 1980. Today it is a booming 21st-century metropolis whose population exceeds 13 million, with an average per-capita age of 30. As such, it serves as a microcosm revealing many of the dramatic shifts in contemporary China. The exhibition moves from the rural scene to the metropolitan context, echoing developments in China today.
While some of these photographers focus on aspects of life in their home city, others look at situations outside of Shenzhen. Their themes include rural Catholicism, matrilineal culture in an agrarian setting, the population shift from country to city, prostitution, gender and identity, typologies of urban citizenry, and the emergence of a thriving pop music/club scene as an index of internationalization. They approach their subjects employing methods ranging from classic modernist documentary to more formally experimental styles. exhibition’s images and texts make it relevant to such diverse disciplines as visual anthropology, sociology, urban studies, economics, geopolitics, Asian studies, and of course contemporary photography and visual culture.
Produced by the Foundation for the Exhibition of Photography, Minneapolis, Minnesota, with production assistance from the Flying Dragon Cultural Enterprises, Ltd, Hong Kong. Curated by A.D. Coleman and Gu Zheng. Sponsored by HSBC Private Bank. visit www.lowemuseum.org.

Bayside Rocks Music and Arts Festival 11/19/11
Bayside Rocks Music & Arts Festival
Saturday, November 19, 2011
Bayfront Park
Downtown Miami
Get your tickets now by calling 888-302-5442 or by clicking here.
Miami is throwing an environmentally- and family-friendly, star-studded party that will turn even the staunchest environmentalist Green with envy.
The annual Bayside Rocks Music & Arts Festival on November 19th 2011 at downtown Miami’s Bayfront Park is happy to welcome Budweiser on board, with our “green conscious “ to decrease the environmental impact in Miami. Budweiser recognized our green initiatives that resonated with their environmental message that dates back to the late 1800’s with the founder Adolphus Busch, who began recycling leftover grain from the brewing process and selling it for cattle feed, a practice that continues today. They made a conscious decision and came on board in a big way to further push its “green†identity on the local & national level. This event will incorporate local businesses and organizations, forming positive relationships that will ultimately have a positive impact on the community and environment in conjunction with America Recycles Day. Together we will resonate this message: “Our goal is to connect our efforts to a collective responsibility we share with our family, friends, employees, consumers, wholesalers, retailers, law enforcement, elected officials, educators and other partners. After all, these are our roads, our kids, our neighborhoods and this is our Earth; and it is our obligation to work together to help support our communities.â€
A star-filled tribute to Jamaican music will mark a concert extravaganza as the 2nd annual Bayside Rocks Music & Arts Festival offers up a jam-packed cavalcade of stars, and a day of peace, love & unity on November 19th 2011 in Miami, Florida.
This year’s Bayside Rocks will feature world music headliners Bunny Wailer, Luciano, Tabou Combo, Cultura Profetica, Gondwana, Warrior King, Pato Banton, Connis Vanterpool and The Original Wailers, as well as some of world music’s most promising up-and-coming talent. Plus a special tribute to the life of Honorable Robert Nesta ‘Bob’ Marley and 50 years of Wailers music.
Produced by ROCKAZ MVMT (www.rockazmvnt.com), Bayside Rocks was designed as a fun filled day of social consciousness, community and environmental awareness on a musical platform with an urgent humanitarian effort to fight poverty and feed the hungry whilst providing ecologically engineered economic transformation on a global scale. Music, art, fashion and food from around the world provide the backdrop to a truly amazing cultural experience.

Gusman Center for the Performing Arts
174 E. Flagler Street
Miami, FL
www.stopbreatheandsmile.org
Stop, Breathe and Smile is pleased to present an inspiring evening of community, a free showing of the documentary I AM on Friday, September 23, 2011 at 7:30pm at Gusman Center for the Performing Arts, located at 174 East Flagler Street, Miami, Florida.
Immediately after the showing, there will be a Q and A session with luminary, Coleman Barks (also in the film) and Tom Shadyac, the film’s Writer and Director recently seen on Oprah!
I AM is a prismatic, probing, and utterly engaging non-fiction film that poses two provocative questions: what’s wrong with our world and what we can do to make it better? The filmmaker asking these questions is Tom Shadyac, one of Hollywood’s leading comedy practitioners and the creative force behind such blockbusters as “Ace Ventura,” “Liar Liar,” “The Nutty Professor,” and “Bruce Almighty.” However in I AM, Shadyac steps in front of the camera to recount the story what happened to him after a cycling accident left him incapacitated, possibly for good. Though he ultimately recovered, he emerged a changed man with a new sense of purpose and a new focus. He was determined to investigate how he as an individual, and we as a race, could improve the world we live in and the way we live.

September Exhibition at the ACND Gallery of Art Opening 9/10/11
September Exhibition at the ‘ACND Gallery of Art’ Demonstrates an Appreciation for Teaching Artists and Their Ability to Cultivate Creative Expression
Saturday, September 10, 2011 at 7:00 p.m
ACND Gallery of Art at Archbishop Curley Notre Dame 6 to 12 Prep
4949 NE 2nd Avenue
Miami, FL, 33137.
The ACND Gallery of Art at Archbishop Curley Notre Dame 6 to 12 Prep will open its 2011/2012 season with a show of paintings and sketches by five teaching artists who work at Archdiocese of Miami elementary and middle schools. “Teaching Artists – A Catholic Tradition†will open with a reception and lecture by art critic and writer Anne Tschida (Knight Arts, Biscayne Times, and Miami Herald). This show, which is free and open to the public and media, will be exhibited through October 29, 2011.
The exhibit intends to demonstrate the talent of those who teach about art and the passion and dedication that they inspire. Its purpose is to showcase the importance of art within the Catholic school tradition and its power to be used as a teaching too.
The six artists whose work will be shown are: Kerry Ware, Vivian Macia, Wilma DeVoe, Catherine Wichmann, Don Clerveaux, and Yunier Cervino Oliver representing Broward and Miami-Dade Catholic Schools.
The exhibit is curated by Stefano Campanini, owner of Etra Fine Art and, fine art and wine boutique, Wine By The Bay. Campanini brings to this show not only gallery and international art fair experience, but also first-hand wisdom in advancing teaching and learning through the arts as board member for Arts For Learning (A4L.) His support and advocacy for the empowerment of children and families is further developed as founder of the non-profit organization “La Casa de la Mujer de las Americas†that creates community centers for families headed by women who are fleeing civil war or domestic violence in Colombia.
“We wanted to bring the teachers to the fore and give them the possibility to express themselves before a larger crowd than the one they have at school, they deserve it; we wanted to give them the opportunity to teach all of us their skills, their insights and show us their sensitivity. At the end they’ll get an A from all of us,” comments Campanini.
Daniela Blanco, a Florida International University art major and ACND Gallery of Art intern, is assistant curator.
Wilma DeVoe teaches at St. Agnes Catholic School in Key Biscayne. DeVoe has a B.A. in Art Education from St. Leo University and currently studies painting with artist Eva Raffe. She has taught art in public, private, and for the Department of Defense Dependent Schools in Puerto Rico. DeVoe describes her style as “realistic, but with an open campus to explore.â€
Kerry Ware teaches at St. Patrick’s Catholic School in Miami Beach. Ware will present a new series of 12†circular paintings for the first time at this exhibit. His work has been exhibited at the Center and Exit Galleries in California, the Dorsch and Aurora Galleries, and Bridge Red Studios in Miami. Ware holds a BFA from California State University and MFA from the University of Miami. In Ware’s artist statement he writes, “My influence and inspiration include the tradition of Modernism and an attempt to continue in this path of discovery through my own sensibility to the materials with which I am working.â€
Vivian Macia teaches at St. Agnes Catholic School in Key Biscayne. With a classical approach, Macia has developed an impressionistic style in her artwork. Her painting commissions include Carnival Cruise Lines and private collectors in South Florida, Naples, and Virginia. Macia began painting under the guidance of nationally renowned artist and FIU Professor David Chang and she holds a degree in interior design from the Art Institute in Fort Lauderdale and a B.S. Art Education from Florida International University.
Catherine Konstance Wichmann teaches at St. Anthony Catholic School in Fort Lauderdale. She holds a BFA from the Cooper Union School of Art in New York City and has taken advanced studies in art and art education at both Florida Atlantic University and Florida International University. Wichmann’s work embraces a variety of subjects with a focus on the human condition, people alone, and in relationship with family and friends. Her work has received awards from the Council for the Nassau County Museum of Art, National Art Education Association, and Human Image Exhibition.
Don Clerveaux is a physical education teacher at St. Mary’s Cathedral School and teaches sketching to a group of students. Although he is not a professional artist or formally trained, his sketches demonstrate an affinity towards artistic expression. Clerveaux states, “I was first taught art (and how to draw) by Irene Henshaw at St. Rose of Lima in Miami Shores. She showed me how to express myself through art, and how relaxing it was, and is (especially in the second grade, when my parents got divorced). I am considered a musical person. I see art as silent music. All of the lines, colors and shades make the picture tell a story with harmony.â€
Yunier Cervino Oliver teaches at Archbishop Curley Notre Dame 6 to 12 Prep and its middle school, Br. Rice Honors Academy. He holds a BFA in Illustration from the Ringling College of Art in Sarasota, FL. His professional work ranges from comics, medical and architectural illustrations, graphic design, and paintings. Among his work exhibited will be a painting from a body of work titled “Netherlands’ Inspiration†and his most recent commissioned work by private collector, a 72â€x48†oil painting that explores the relationships of the feminine, mysticism, and religion.
Upon review of Oliver’s painting, curator Stefano Campanini remarks, “The painting reveals a unique luminosity that makes it inspiring for the subject and the entire exhibition. Yunier is able to have his subject looking deeply absorbed at the luminous and empty mystery in her hands, symbolic of our most significant questions.”
The opening reception will commence at 7:00 p.m. on Saturday, September 10, 2011 with an introduction to the contributing artists and lecture by art critic and writer Anne Tschida. Her articles are found in Miami’s top journals including Knight Arts, Biscayne Times, the Miami Herald, New Times, Miami Art Guide, and Artburst . Ms. Tschida will address the importance of art in our society and educational institutions plus help give insight on appreciating different art styles and genres.

POSTPONED Wine By the Bay Grand Opening Party 10/6/11
THIS EVENT HAS BEEN POSTPONED TO A LATER DATE.
Wine Boutique In A Fine Art Setting, Downtown Miami Grand Opening Party
Thursday, October 6, 2011 from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m.
Wine by the Bay
888 Biscayne Blvd., Suite 112
Miami, FL, 33132
Opens for business on September 28, 2011
Etra Fine Art gallery co-owner, Stefano Campanini will open a new business on September 28, Wine by the Bay. Wine by the Bay will be a fine wine and art boutique hosting an ever-changing art exhibition. The store boasts a sleek and sophisticated contemporary interior and magical terrace view of Miami’s Biscayne Bay.
The Wine by the Bay Grand Opening event will be on Thursday, October 6. Attendees will enjoy an evening designed to satisfy the palate and enlighten both the connoisseur and the curious. The opening night event will feature art by Mimmo Paladino, Emanuele Viscuso, Mario Velez, and Wilfredo Lam alongside a showcase of exceptional wine including Gaja, Sassicaia, Ornellaia and Insigna. To learn more about Wine by the Bay or attend the grand opening event, email Stefano Campanini at info@winebtb.com or call (305) 491-8400.
After seven years running a successful contemporary art gallery with his wife Alicia Restrepo, Campanini has decided to merge his passion for art and wine and create a unique space that caters to the most seasoned wine collector, but also where the passerby will feel comfortable and at home.
“Besides everyday superior customer-oriented service and a unique selection of wines that suit every budget, I plan to hold regular art and wine tasting events that will both entertain and educate the community,†states Campanini. “Whereas in the Design District we deal with a select clientele, I am looking forward to offering something that everyone enjoys and in an environment where the art can be appreciated by many and in an unintimidating way. At art openings, wine is like a sideshow, but now, it will take center stage.â€
Choosing the best wine to sell is a very selective process much like identifying great art. Campanini has personally tasted all of the wines that will make up the store’s inventory.
“I tried to have a selection of wines that represent the energetic location where I am,†says Campanini. “A selection that includes most of the Premiere Grand Cru from France and the finest Italian wines, but I also was in search of wines that are hidden treasures.†California wines are also well represented with a good selection of wines scoring more that 93 points by the two most reliable wine experts.
For the grand opening week, customers will be offered special discounts and incentives on all wines.
Located on 888 Biscayne Bay at the Marina Blue, Wine by the Bay overlooks the bay directly across from the American Airlines Arena. The 1200 square foot boutique will serve Miami’s downtown area and become a functional part of city’s new cultural identity and expansion efforts such as the Genting project, the Mikado Hotel, and the new Miami Art Museum.

One-Man Show About One-Man Shows at Miami Beach Stage Door Theatre Opening 9/10/11
One-Man Show About One-Man Shows at Miami Beach Stage Door Theatre Opening 9/10/11
Saturdays at 2 pm and 8 pm on September 10, 17 and 24.
Miami Beach Stage Door Theatre at the Byron Carlyle
500 71st Street
Miami Beach
Tickets are $38 for the matinee and $42 for the evening performance and are available at the Box Office, by calling 305/397-8977 or purchase online at www.stagedoorfl.org.
Opening Saturday, September 10th, the Miami Beach Stage Door Theatre presents “Song Man Dance Man,†a one-man show about one-man shows created and performed by Jon Peterson, emcee from Broadway’s revival of “Cabaret†and Drama Desk Nominee for the title role in the off-Broadway production “George M. Cohan Tonight!â€
Receiving accolades such as “a true theatrical fusion reactor,†“galvanic performance,†“a storm of show business energy†and “ferociously talented†was just part of British-born Peterson’s motivation in creating his own, about song and dance stars who were the whole package.
“Song Man Dance Man†is a joyous celebration of seven consummate artists who captured the eyes, ears and hearts of their audiences. They are Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly, whose unique styles transformed the movie musical; Donald O’Connor and Sammy Davis, Jr., both geniuses who had to struggle for appropriate recognition; Bobby Darin, who made the leap from ‘50s pop-star to sophisticated concert artist; the eccentric, brilliant Anthony Newley, whose pulsating, emotional style reverberated throughout the musical theater world; and, of course, George M. Cohan, who invented the song and dance man.
“I wanted to remind people of just how good it can be; of how magical the world of show business was in those golden days because of these performers,†says Peterson about why he was motivated to create the one-man show. “The dazzling talent and charisma of these artists inspire life-changing devotion.â€
YouTube glimpse of Peterson’s tour de force in a production of “Song Man Dance Man†in Las Vegas.
With personality and talent to spare, portraying multiple artistic personalities is not a stretch for Peterson. When “Song Man Dance Man†premiered in New York in 2008, a Cabaret Scenes critic reported: “When he (Peterson) plants his feet and looks into the lights, it’s the kind of razzle-dazzle showmanship that will send goose bumps up your spine…â€
“Song Man Dance Man†is presented by Derelle Bunn and David Torres, co-founders and executive producers of the recently opened Miami Beach Stage Door Theatre. With the new theatre housed in the Byron Carlyle, the pair continues their 19-year tradition of producing award-winning musicals at the Broward Stage Door Theatre, their flagship theatre in Coral Springs.

WDNA Jazz Gallery

www.wdna.org
The WDNA Fine Arts Concert, which started two years ago, is a bimonthly presentation that brings art and jazz lovers together under one roof. The series often showcases performers who are rarely seen in South Florida, on an ‘up close and personal’ level.
Pinheiro, who released his fourth album in 2010 entitled, “There’s a Storm Inside,†is acclaimed in his native Brazil and internationally as a young maestro who composes, arranges, sings and performs with originality and maturity. The 35-year-old guitarist, a graduate of Boston’s Berklee College of Music, has won numerous awards and his albums have been included in Brazil’s annual “Top 10 Albums of the Year.†He’s recorded and performed with luminaries such as Brad Mehldau, Bob Mintzer, Chris Potter, Esperanza Spalding, Claudio Roditi, Giovanni Hidalgo, Luciana Souza, and Dianne Reeves, who appears on his latest album.
Brazilian music is ingrained in Pinheiro, but he was also exposed to other genres including jazz, classical, rock and Middle Eastern, and those influences have crept into his branded style. Pinheiro will perform with his quintet, and guest vocalist, Glaucia Nahsser.
“After Yesterday…†by Cuban-born multimedia visual artist, MANO is an enticingly vibrant exhibition with universal appeal, even for the casual observer. Known for his richly textured canvases and narrative collages exploring themes that deal with the trials of adolescence, family connections and the search for identity, MANO has developed a unique style dominated by faces. His interplay of colors on a myriad of surfaces is a virtual invitation for the viewer to engage in a dialogue.
MANO has been recognized for his works by numerous publications, including the Miami Herald, Sun Sentinel and Miami Art Guide. His works adorn many private and corporate collections worldwide, and his exhibition in the WDNA Jazz Gallery runs September 10 through October 22, 2011.
Tickets: $25 for WDNA members, $50 general admission, and includes refreshments and catered

Miami
Alberto Linero Gallery Turns New Leaf With Fall Season,
Focused Direction, Curator Adriana Carvalho & Pink Bastard Art Collective
Alberto Linero Gallery presents September, a group exhibition organized by art collective Pink Bastard, featuring the works of seven established Miami artists. Principal Alberto Linero, who renovated the space earlier this year and took reins of the gallery’s artistic and business direction, is now tapping outside talent with guest curator, Adriana Carvalho (Pink Bastard, ArtCenter/South Florida, Art Miami “Director’s Choiceâ€). September was conceptualized to inform the artists’ view of day-to-day life in Miami.
Slated to coincide with Wynwood’s monthly Second Saturday Art Walk, the opening reception will feature a selection of fine wine and cheeses. The event is free and open to the public, and the show will be on view through October 8, 2011. For more information please call 305.587.0172, email info@albertolinerogallery.com or visit www.albertolinerogallery.com.
“We are embracing September as a fresh start and new beginning,†said principal Linero. “Our city is so very rich with talent that we invited Adriana and her group, ‘Pink Bastard,’ to celebrate Miami and its everyday occurrences and idiosyncrasies through an alternative lens.â€
Participating artists include: Eddie Arroyo, Adriana Carvalho, Charles Falarara, Kevin Foltz, Cory Foote, Kathy Kissik, Franklin Sinanan and David Zalben. A brief description of select artists’ works follows:
– Photographer Cory Foote creates images in traditional black and white film of subjects ranging from portraits to beautiful natural landscapes. A selection of Foote’s pieces will probe the viewer with undertones of melancholy and atypical use of color and hues.
– “A simple line of wire can tell a story.†David Zalben uses metal wire to animate life’s simplicities and push his own boundaries as an artist, reducing ideas to their very core by representing them as an outline. In this exhibition, the artist will be showcasing a special collection of wire-written poems.
– Adriana Carvalho describes her work as delicately transforming items, such as metal and cloth products, into pieces that stand for her dreams, fears and social commentary. September will showcase a series of Adriana’s new works, including her Insomnia installation, which highlights the poetry of everyday life using a pillow and a rug.
