CITY OF MIAMI BEACH IS PROUD TO SUPPORT MIAMI BEACH GAY PRIDE FESTIVAL AS AN EVENT SPONSOR
25/7 Street Team to March in Parade; Expo Booth to Hold Drawing
Miami Beach is Proud. So proud, in fact, that the city needs an extra hour each day to tell its LGBT residents and visitors that it’s one of the most accepting and diverse cities in the world. That’s the message behind “Miami Beach Proud 25/7,†the theme of the city’s sponsorship of the Second Annual Miami Beach Gay Pride, Saturday, April 17, 2010.
“Miami Beach has a long and strong history of acceptance and progressive attitudes toward the LGBT community,†said City Manager Jorge M. Gonzalez. “In addition to being a top destination for LGBT travelers, we have a proud history of supporting our LGBT residents and businesses, including a domestic partnership registry, a Gay Business Development Committee, and one of the strongest human rights ordinances on record of any city.â€
For the Miami Beach Gay Pride Parade, which kicks off at noon on Ocean Drive from 5th to 15th Streets, Gonzalez said the city will participate by fielding a street team, led by legendary drag diva Miss Elaine Lancaster, and complete with a large banner and body-painted marchers harnessed to giant “Miami Beach Proud 25/7†balloons. Members of the street team will also interact with spectators along the parade route and distribute 25/7 Proud fans, temporary tattoos and sunscreen samples, all designed to remind residents and visitors that there’s so much shopping, dining, staying, playing and discovering in Miami Beach they need an extra hour.
Following the parade, and until 6 p.m., the City of Miami Beach will have a major presence at the Gay Pride Expo on the sands of Lummus Park between 10th and 14th Streets. In addition to temporary tattoos, fans and sunscreen samples for visitors to the city’s Proud 25/7 booth, Pride-goers can register for a grand prize drawing for two round-trip airfares, courtesy of the Greater Miami Convention and Visitors Bureau, and two VIP tickets to New York Pride’s Dance on the Pier, Sunday, June 27, courtesy of the City of Miami Beach.
Finally, for those who want to share their favorite “Proud 25/7 moment†– or any Miami Beach 25/7 moment for that matter – the City is hosting a Facebook photo contest where the winner will receive a two-night stay and spa treatments from the Shore Club. To enter the photo contest, log onto www.miamibeach25-7.com, click on the Facebook link at the bottom of the page, and upload a photo to the Miami Beach 25/7 fan page.
To develop the Proud 25/7 campaign, the City of Miami Beach again partnered with Cre8tiv Juice Group to develop branding strategy, and The Treister Murry Agency for public relations and social marketing. Both firms are based in Miami Beach.

IAmYourVillain, with Hometeam-Music, presents a screening of “Suite for Ma Dukes” produced by Mochilla in honor of the release of the Timeless Concert Series 3 DVD box set release.
“Timeless: The Composer/Arranger Series” is the name of a concert series that was created in homage to the composer/arrangers who have influenced hip-hop in the most literal and profound ways. Timeless was conceived by production house Mochilla in Los Angeles during February and March 2009 and included the performances of over 150 musicians in front of ecstatic sold out crowds. These three historic events were recorded and filmed in exacting detail with Mochilla’s unmistakable style.
“Suite for Ma Dukes” is the second DVD of the series celebrating the music of producer, J Dilla. Composed and arranged for a 60 piece Orchestra by Miguel Atwood-Ferguson feat. special guests Bilal, Dwele, Posdnuos, Talib Kweli and more. This premiere performance is still on the minds of many. Mixed and mastered by legendary Grammy award winning producer/mixer, Bob Power. The man behind hundreds of pop and jazz recordings for such artists as Erykah Badu, D’Angelo, De La Soul and A Tribe Called Quest and more, he had also worked with Dilla while he was alive. Hip hop has never sounded or looked like this, welcome to a new era, a new scale and a new sound. Part of the proceeds of all Suite for Ma Dukes performances and recordings will go towards Maureen “Ma Dukes” Yancey and the heirs to the Dilla Estate.
The screening takes place on Wednesday, April 14th, 2010 at The Standard Spa Miami Beach (located at 40 Island Avenue, Miami Beach, FL 33139) starting at 9:00PM.

Celebrate the awesomeness of Jimbo’s with the man himself. Down BBQ, beer, smoked fish & more on Sun April 11 from noon-5pm
You know the drill: every year, hundreds descend on Jimbo’s ramshackle hideaway to celebrate the man and the bait shack from Ace Ventura. But this year may be your last chance—the city is talking about shutting the place down. Bring a sixer and a cigar for the old man and settle in for a day of beer, bocce and smoked fish.

In the last year, FRC provided services to more than 4,500 children, adolescents and adults, with the twin goals of minimizing length of stay in foster care and reunifying families.

SEA, SHELLS and SUN an ecologic approach of Art
CityLoftArt Miami Design District – Saturday, April 10th. 2010, 7-10pm
Ingrid KAUFMANN is a fresh, pure and ecologic inspired young Swiss-Argentinian artist.
She lives in Geneva where the Alps mountain-chain is as impressing as the deep cold lakes are. Switzerland is surrounded by France, Germany, Austria and Italy and the quality of life is essentially due to the respect of this imposing nature and the products of the earth, excellent food and clean wines which are rare enough not to be exported anywhere. This respect is reflected as well in the human inter-relations, locals and versus visitors to those ancient towns, full of serenity and history.
Enjoy Ingrid’s serious and authentic artwork, beautiful acrylic paintings on hand-cut-out wood.

SPINELLO GALLERY: 155 NE 38th Street, No. 101, Miami, Florida – 33137
SOLO DEBUT: Pachi Giustinian| “Watch The Stars And From Them Learn”
OPENING RECEPTION: Saturday, April 10th, 7-10pm
Spinello Gallery is proud to announce the solo debut exhibition of Argentine-native Pachi Giustinian, “Watch The Stars And From Them Learn.” The all-encompassing environment will feature paintings and experimental mix media installations.
Giustinian seeks the splendor and allure contained in the dynamic composition of light. Colors are of particular interest to her, as they relate to sensations, feelings, sound, and time. Her work is created by captivating found objects that draw attention to her by means of color and shape. Physical properties such as light absorption, reflection, and emission become directly associated with objects, materials, and light sources. By abstracting mundane objects from their everyday use, Giustinian transforms them to highlight their visual characteristics and challenge the structure of our subjective color experience.
Giustinian explains, “Finding meaning in the forgotten and trivial allows this accident to occur; thus creating a newly found visual beauty. This pertinent error brings about an experimental object that has been bestowed new meaning. The modification and definition of these objects produce a new significance in their mere existence.”
Opening Reception: Saturday, April 10th, 2010 / Exhibition through May 1st, 2010.

MICHAEL FLOMEN
Inside Out
Inside Out marks the first time Michael Flomen creates an environment with his photographic works, which continue to be a dialogue with nature. Since his 2006 exhibition at the gallery, Teeming, Flomen has experimented further into the elemental and phenomenal worlds in nature revealing visions and experiences we seldom see and feel in our increasingly expanding destruction and dominance of the planet. His new Scuptarama, a section of an abandoned building, is a stage to place and provoke the viewer of where we are, who we are, and what we are doing.
Also included in the exhibition are several unique gelatin silver photogrammes from the series Littoral Zone and his most recent photographs from the series Crunchtime. The image, Genesis 15, 2009, is a photogramme of what one can consider as a moment of creation, a new hope in our evolution.
Flomen’s work has been exhibited extensively in Canada, the United States and abroad. It can also be found in public collections throughout the world, such as the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York.
STERZ
Naïve
Sterz
In my work, lines of action help me generate drawing intuitively as well as through shapes and patterns found in many walks of life and cultures. Whether this process emerges from an obsessive compulsive disorder is a legitimate question. Ultimately, though, my goal is to relax viewers and to provoke in them an almost hypnotic state through the explorations of multiple, interconnected forms.
Sterz uses subjects of natural phenomena, typically light, color and movement for his installations. Intended always to accommodate the viewer and elicit a spontaneous aesthetic response, Sterz directs the gaze towards the infinite variety and power of the natural world. His use of industrial materials and installation techniques give the work a playful, childlike approach; yet recede in the presence of the subject matter – the reminder of nature’s presence within and without the self. The intention is to stimulate emotion with visual information.
Sterz exhibits his site-specific installations throughout North America, Europe and the Caribbean. He has participated in numerous international art fairs including Art Basel and received grants such as from the Pollock-Krasner Foundation.
Project Room: KEVIN HART
Line of Action
In these pieces I am not trying to dazzle with brilliance, baffle anyone with long winded rhetoric, or generate dialogue via shock art. I just want to make work that can be enjoyed with no exclusions. These pieces are all hand drawn and the backgrounds are either water color, oil paints, or more pen work. As time passes the foundations of my work have stayed the same, yet new ideas and methods are constantly being implemented in an attempt to make each piece unique.

Johnnie Walker Tasting at The Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts on Thursday, April 8, 2010. Â I had so much fun, the food was amazing. Â They had cheese, hummus, fruit and bread setup outside and then they where passing around hot food, the spring roll was my favorite. Â They had a really good crowd very boisterous during the presentation, it was a lot of fun.

The stark, wailing tones of the artist’s voice punctuate a desolate landscape in Christy Gast’s video installation Batty Cave. Folklore, conjecture and a Dust Bowl aesthetic evoke a narrative of tenderness and desperation in a series of gestures and images that come together like a flipbook to tell us a story of ecological doom, escapism and partnership. Filmed on a desert mountain where two men, expecting a flood of Biblical proportions, built a dusty ark, the artist’s hands form pictograms with scraps of rusty metal, broken glass and chipped rock on an even more humble stage. Creating a densely layered tableau of imagery and sound, a narrative is teased out of the monuments to folly left in the barren landscape. Pulling influence from the history of sound art, photography, and film, Batty Cave will be presented as the corner stone for Christy Gast’s first solo exhibition at Gallery Diet.
Ms. Gast graduated with an MFA from Columbia University in 2004. She lives and works in Miami, Florida and has exhibited previously at The Bass Museum of Art, Artists Space, Exit Art, and the PS1 Contemporary Art Center. Her performative work was included in RoseLee Goldberg’s Performa 07 and she has presented several projects at Andrea Zittel’s High Desert Test Sites. Ms. Gast’s work has been written about in publications such as ArtUS, The New York Times and rhizome.org. Christy Gast will be exhibiting in the Project Space of the de la Cruz Collection during Art Basel Miami Beach 2010.
Batty Cave will be the 13th invitational exhibition at Gallery Diet. Gallery Diet represents five emerging and mid-career artists including Brian Burkhardt, Charley Friedman, Richard Höglund, Abby Manock, and Daniel Milewski. Exhibitions from the gallery have and are scheduled to travel to institutions such as The University of Wyoming Art Museum (Brian Burkhardt ’09), the Benton Museum at the University of Connecticut (Abby Manock, ’10 forthcoming), and MARTE in El Salvador (Abby Manock, ’10 forthcoming).

Registration begins at 8pm SHARP and the event will begin at 9pm. If you are still in line and not registered by 9pm, you will be unable to compete, but you may participate. As a result, latecomers will be unable to compete for the winnings. The bottom line is: please arrive on time!
Here’s how it works:
The wine for this tasting is Merlot. The Merlot grape is a close cousin to Cabernet Sauvignon in many respects. It is lower in tannins and makes wines that mature faster and are softer in texture. Merlot is often blended with Cabernet Sauvignon in order to soften the blend. At its best, Merlot makes a wine that is dry, rich in flavor and smooth as it finishes in your throat. At its worst, Merlot makes wine that is dry but thin in taste and texture, and not very pleasant to consume. Most of what you will come across are likely to be of pretty good quality.
Each team of 2-3, must bring 3 bottles of the EXACT SAME MERLOT. For example, a team may bring 3 bottles of Maori Point Merlot 2006. Remember, it’s 3 bottles total per team and teams can consist of 2 to 3 people.
If you are alone and need to be part of a team to participate, let us know in your RSVP, and we will try to pair you up with someone else.
Also, please remember to think of a team name before arriving!
Food will NOT be served other than cheese and bread. Eat before arriving, or you may pay for it.
We NEED volunteers! If you are inclined, please donate your time to help in a great cause. We will need people to host, clean, prepare the wine for tasting and take score. If you would like to help, please let us know. Volunteers will be exclusively treated to a post-event celebration. TBA.
Upon arrival, the teams will first register. Subsequently, all 3 bottles will be given to the volunteers, who wrap two bottles to conceal the wine’s label. The wrapped bottles will have a number randomly assigned to them and will then be set out for tasting. The third bottle will be left unopened and will not be tasted or displayed.
Each team will be given a card and assigned to a specific group (A or B). The team will then participate in tasting the wine from their group. All the numbered wines for each group will be displayed on the board. At the end of the tasting period, each team must write down the number ranking of his or her favorite wine and least favorite wine. Cards will be collected and selections tallied.
The team that brought the top wine will take home 75% of the unopened bottles of wine. The second place team will take home 25% of the unopened bottles. The team that brought the least favorite bottle of wine will take back his or her unopened bottle of wine.
If 2 (or more) teams bring the same wine, it shouldn’t matter. The rankings can still differ depending upon the temperature of the wine, how it was stored, how long it has been open, etc.
Please remember, teams can consist of UP TO 3 PEOPLE ONLY. If, for example, 4 people wish to participate, they would be considered 2 teams; thus, they will need to bring 6 bottles to enter the event. This rule will be STRICTLY enforced at the door.
Finally, if you prefer to drink out of glasses, bring your own glass as you will be able to clean your glass between tastings. We will have plastic cups available for those who do not bring a wine glass.
WE WILL RAFFLE OFF A TWO-NIGHT STAY AT THE RIVIERA HOTEL SOUTH BEACH FOR THOSE WHO BECOME 1 IN 1,000 AND EXISTING 1 IN 1,000 MEMBERS. Raffle courtesy of the South Beach Group and Riviera Hotel management.
We look forward to seeing you and please arrive on time or you will miss the competition!

REMEMBER THE 3 GOLDEN RULES:

Ballet Flamenco La Rosa, an international Flamenco company based in Miami, is pleased to announce the world premiere of La Dama Macbeth, a flamenco Ballet inspired by the great Shakespearian Tragedy Macbeth. Ballet Flamenco La Rosa brings to life the classic themes of ambition, passion, loyalty, betrayal, rivalry, righteousness and greed, using Flamenco as a language to interpret the characters and relationships in this great play.
This production will incorporate live music, created and arranged by guest guitarists and singers from Spain in collaboration with company dancers and choreographers. Artists from the U.S, Latin America and Spain, led by the world renowned master teacher, choreographer and soloist La Tati in the title role, and with one of Spain’s most sought after male dancers, Miguel Cañas, as Macbeth, bring to this production the spellbinding and earthy power of Flamenco dance at its best. With its spectacular footwork, precise athleticism and vibrant energy, Flamenco is at once sensual and spiritual, raw and refined, and filled with both restrained passion and electrifying release, making it a powerful language to interpret this timeless work.Under the direction of Ilisa Rosal, a stellar cast of international artists will create the characters of Shakespeare’s drama.
The production will debut on Saturday May 1 at the Gusman Center for The Performing Arts 174 E Flagler St. Miami, Fl. at 8:00 pm as part of the Miami Dance Festival.
Ballet Flamenco La Rosa, also known as La Rosa Flamenco Theatre, is a professional company dedicated to Flamenco as an ever-evolving art form. The innovative and creative dancers of Ballet Flamenco La Rosa present Flamenco dance in a theatrical setting, expanding the art form beyond traditional limits to reach and enlighten students and audiences with its beauty and magic. A Miami based non-profit dance company, Ballet Flamenco La Rosa Flamenco has performed to sell out crowds and received critical acclaim in both the artistic mainstream and in the “Tablaos” (Flamenco Clubs) of Little Havana since 1985. Since then, the company has grown to a National and International reputation, with its pure Flamenco works, cutting edge cross- cultural collaborations and ground breaking dramatic Flamenco Ballets. The company offers audiences performances and workshops throughout it concert season, as well as daily classes for children and adults at all levels with this project, Master Classes will be offered with La Tati and Miguel Cañas, during the week preceding this performance.

The exhibit is sure to be an original and uniquely vibrant and colorful show. It will represent masks of many sorts and some will be of the “unexpected an expected†“traditional and non-traditionalâ€.
A Mask is a form of disguise. It is an object that is frequently worn over or in front of the face to hide the identity of a person and by its own features to establish another being. This essential characteristic of hiding and revealing personalities or moods is common to all masks. As cultural objects they have been used throughout the world in all periods since the Stone Age and have been as varied in appearance as in their use and symbolism.
The opening reception will be a “masked gathering” a “masquerade ball” multimedia art reception.

Ballet Flamenco La Rosa Artistic Director Ilisa Rosal, and company singer/guitarist Paco Fonta, will present a lecture/demonstration on the Jewish Roots of Flamenco, as one of many offerings of the Guava Rugelach Festival at Temple Israel of Greater Miami.
A brief history of the development of the art of Flamenco and the influences that Jewish music and the Jewish experience in Spain had on the art form will be discussed, with examples of the music and vocals to illustrate.
PACO FONTA * SINGER AND GUITARIST
Paco Fonta met Ballet Flamenco Director Ilisa Rosal in Madrid in the early 1980’s when they worked together at tablaos and festivals for several years.
When Ms. Rosal founded Ballet Flamenco La Rosa in 1985, Paco Fonta was under contract to a local flamenco club, and he joined the company. They have worked together ever since on the many interesting projects the company has produced and created a great following for the high quality and pure excitement and beauty of their work.
Mr. Fonta is a rare talent in that he has mastery of both the guitar and singing, and his performances give the public a unique and valuable insight into this style of music. Mr. Fonta is in demand as a singer and guitarist for Flamenco companies throughout the U.S., and has started his own group Siempre Flamenco.

Drew Heitzler
THE WORLD IS YOURS
Reception: Saturday, April 10, 7-10pm
Through April 30
Frederick J. Frenger, Jr., a blithe psychopath from California, asked the flight attendant in first class for another glass of champagne and some writing materials. She brought him a cold half-bottle, uncorked it and left it with him, and returned a few moments later with some Pan Am writing paper and a white ball point pen. For the next hour, as he sipped champagne, Freddy practiced writing the signatures of Claude L. Bytell, Ramon Mendez, and Herman T. Gotlieb.
The best way to forge a signature, he knew, was to turn it upside down and draw it instead of trying to imitate the handwriting. That was the foolproof way, if a man had the time and the privacy and was forging a document or a check. Still, close enough was usually good enough for Freddy. He was not a careful person, and a full hour was a long time for him to engage in any activity without his mind turning to something else. Comfortably full, and a trifle dizzy from the wine, Freddy stretched out in the wide reclining seat, hugging the tiny airline pillow. He slept soundly until the attendant awakened him gently and asked him to fasten his seat belt for the descent into Miami International Airport.
Locust Projects is pleased to announce a solo exhibition by Los Angeles-based artist and filmmaker Drew Heitzler. Heitzler’s new installation focuses on a two-channel video projection that explores the 1932 film Scarface.
Before Brian DePalma’s Miami-based remake was released in 1983, an original version of Scarface, directed by Howard Hawkes and produced by Howard Hughes, was produced in Los Angeles. For this exhibition, Heitzler edits Hawkes’ film to exclude dialog and create an abstract narrative that shifts the focus from drug and street crime to white-collar crime and government complicity.
The installation will also include appropriated photographs from the book Howard Hughes, His Life and Madness that explore how the Howard Hughes Medical Center, originally headquartered in Miami, was a tax dodge for Hughes made possible by a collaboration with Richard Nixon’s brother. The windows of Locust Projects will be lined with images from the cover of a 1974 issue of Playgirl magazine, which included an article about Howard Hughes and Richard Nixon.
Together, these works lend to the Heitzler’s practice of reconsidering histories as he assembles a series of seemingly unrelated sources to re-tell a story that was never explicitly told.
Drew Heitzler (b. 1972 in Charleston, South Carolina) lives and works in Los Angeles, California. Heitzler received his MFA from Hunter College in 2000. His film based projects have been exhibited internationally at galleries and institutions including Renwick Gallery, The Project, Orchard, The Swiss Institute, Sculpture Center, Anthology Film Archives, and PS1 Contemporary Art Center in New York; Blum & Poe, Redling Fine Art, China Art Objects, TRUDI, and LA>
This exhibition is made possible with the support from: Andy Warhol Foundation; Galt & Skye Mikesell; Hannibal Cox Jr. Foundation; Miami-Dade County Department of Cultural Affairs, the Cultural Affairs Council, the Mayor, and the Miami-Dade County Boardof County Commissioners. Special thanks to: Blum & Poe, Los Angeles and Renwick Gallery, New York. Design: Venture Architects.

The World of Alain Godon

Alain Godon. Right Turn Immediately
Opening reception: Thursday, April 8th, 2010. 5:30 – 9:30 p.m.
Location: godonAmerica. 1 Northeast 40th Street, Ste. #5. Miami, FL 33137
Dates: April 8th – June 8th, 2010. Mon. – Fri. 11:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m., Sat. by appointment
Admission: RSVP to arielle@godonamerica.com or 786.362.5546
Meet French artist Alain Godon and view his vibrantly colored BildoReliefos – ultra-high definition single edition prints.
BildoReliefo is an exclusive technique created by Godon that combines the classic form of oil on canvas with 21st century digital technology. To create these dramatic pieces the artist revisits his original paintings, and digitally adjusts the colors, shadows and light, forming the impression of an image in relief. Then a high-resolution single print is made of this new, original work of art. Finally, the printed art is adhered to an aluminum surface before being hand-signed by the painter.
“I look forward to introducing this unique and talented artist to the South Florida community,” said Bernard Markowicz, President of godonAmerica. “The art world in Europe already has embraced his work, and I believe that Godon’s colorful paintings which are pop art expressions of life, will be well received in America.”
In his paintings Alain Godon portrays the essence of a city – its people, culture, monuments, and architecture – and then uses his playful imagination to infuse his work with expressive lines and rich vivid colors. His signature style has been known to subtly include humorous caricatures of his wife, his dogs and himself into most of his pieces.
Godon has painted the sites and captured the spirit of Paris, New York City, Amsterdam and Le Touquet, a beach resort town in the North of France, and soon adds Miami to his prestigious list.
ABOUT GODONAMERICA
Bernard Markowicz, former Director and partner with the prestigious international group Opera Gallery, founded godonAmerica in November 2009. Several years ago, while traveling with his son to the elegant beach resort of Le Touquet to share his family’s history, Markowicz discovered the brilliantly colored and captivating paintings by Alain Godon. As an avid art collector Markowicz recognized the success that Godon was receiving in Europe, and decided to bring his work to the States. Now, as CEO of godonAmerica, Bernard Markowicz is the exclusive publisher of Alain Godon’s limited edition series for the Americas.

It’s HAPPENING
April 11th from 4:30 – 6:30 pm
A FREE dance presentation inspired by the space and work of the
CANDO Arts Co-op
309 23rd Street
Miami Beach, FL
One block west of Collins Ave.
It’s Happening… is a collage of experiences and interpretations, reflecting on the work of Miami artists: Deborah Weed, Dena & Stewart Stewart, Lucinda Linderman, Paula Turk, AnneFaye Poole, and James Broderick. 7 young international and local choreographers, all students and alumni of the New World School of the Arts dance program, come together to create a physical second look at art. They explore the textures, perceptions of, and reactions to the ideas and images presented at the CANDO Arts Co-op. It is never enough to look at a picture or space without putting some thought into how it makes you react. Within each illustration or sculpture there is an energy, a history, and a reason. Whether we choose to acknowledge it or not, there is a lot more happening right before our eyes than we realize. And this is what we search for and try to translate for ourselves, that which is happening when we look at the world through the eyes and hands of another human being. In this intimate setting, the audience will experience the world created by the gallery’s work alongside the performers themselves. Both performer and patron will be challenged to react and adapt to what has been and is being created. Visual art, dance, literature, and music will all lend a hand in creating this experience, stimulating questions and conversations that will hopefully prompt new perspectives on how art can affect the response of individuals and communities.
Choreographers:
Andrea Ollarvide, Kristen Carcone, Liony Garcia, Sarah Matry-Guerre, Kristin Whiting, Kaitlyn Bishop, and Matthew Bailey
Special thanks to The Dade Community Foundation, Collins Park Neighborhood Association, MiamiArtZine .com, as well as Miami Dance Futures without whom this performance would not be possible. For more information call 786-366-9826.

Teach For America To More Than Triple Number of Its Local Teachers With the Help of a $6 million Knight Foundation Grant
Teach For America, which helps raise educational standards in Miami-Dade’s highest-need neighborhoods, will more than triple its number of local teachers, thanks in part to a $6 million grant from the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation. By 2014, some 350 Teach For America educators will reach more than 25,000 local students, the national nonprofit announced today.
“Miami-Dade children are our future economic, cultural and civic leaders. We owe it to them – and this entire community – to provide them with the knowledge and skills to improve our collective future,†said Dennis Scholl, Knight Foundation’s Miami program director. “Teach For America, with its proven track record of raising educational achievement, is the right fit for Miami-Dade.â€
“Teach For America has seen that, when students are held to high expectations, their growth is exponential,†Rebecca Fishman Lipsey, executive director of Teach For America Miami-Dade, said. “Every child can achieve, and with Knight Foundation’s support, and ongoing fundraising, we are going to make that a reality.â€
Teach For America’s teachers and alumni work to eliminate educational inequity in low-income communities nationwide. Through the program, top college graduates and professionals commit to teach for two years in urban and rural public schools, and become lifelong leaders in the effort to end educational inequity.
Since expanding to Miami-Dade in 2003, the program has produced tangible results. For example, the typical Miami-Dade student in a Teach For America teacher’s classroom advances 1.5 reading grade levels over just one academic year. Those same students have also improved their FCAT scores.
At Central Senior High, Teach For America’s Kimberly Williams has quadrupled the number of her students passing the FCAT “retake.†As a result of her leadership, her students who previously failed the FCAT are on a different life path.
Due to the organization’s impressive impact, the Florida Department of Education has said Teach For America is a top way to raise achievement for students living in poverty.
“Miami-Dade is home to some of the best teachers in the nation and under the leadership of Superintendent Alberto Carvalho, they have achieved great academic success with their students,†said Education Commissioner Dr. Eric J. Smith. “The expansion of Teach For America through this generous grant from Knight Foundation is going to push that progress even further. I anticipate positive results as these proven educators bring their expertise to the area’s struggling schools.â€
“We are thrilled with our growing partnership with Teach For America and we see our working together as critical to raising achievement in our most fragile schools,†said Alberto Carvalho, Superintendent of Miami-Dade County Public Schools.
Knight Foundation’s grant will help Teach For America jumpstart more local fundraising to fuel its expansion and defray the costs of recruiting, training and supporting each new teacher. For more information about supporting Teach For America in Miami-Dade, contact 786-245-8407.
About Teach For America
Teach For America is the national corps of outstanding recent college graduates who commit to teach for two years in urban and rural public schools and become lifelong leaders in expanding educational opportunity.

Passion Pit with Tokyo Police Club

The Fillmore Miami Beach at The Jackie Gleason Theater

We’ve been away from home long enough– and to celebrate our return to the United States, we’re going to try and see as much of it as we can, as quickly as we can!
We’ll be touring the U.S. for the entire month of June, from New York to California and (almost) everywhere in between. And even better, our pals in Tokyo Police Club will be on board for most dates.
Redemption. Paranoia. Guilt. And brief glimpses of a better tomorrow, all cloaked in pop hooks that truly help the medicine go down.
What is this? Another lost LP from Brian Wilson’s sandbox phase? If only things were that simple. What we’re really alluding to here is Passion Pit’s first proper full-length, Manners, a bird-flipping break from the blogosphere by a 21 year old with much more on his manic mind than girls, girls, girls. You know, important matters, like the end of the world and learning to love someone other than the man in the mirror.
That’s the thing people missed about Passion Pit’s debut EP, Chunk of Change. While it was originally meant as a Valentine’s Day gift for a girlfriend who “put up with†frontman Michael Angelakos, that detail’s only half of a story that isn’t so cuddly when you consider the circumstances.

Ted Rubin of Open Sky will be in town and wants to meet bloggers. Ted is the ex-CMO of e.l.f. Cosmetics / EyesLipsFace.com, where he built a vast network of bloggers and worked with a very large Facebook and Twitter following.
I saw a presentation about Open Sky and think a good number of bloggers in Miami might be interested in this, especially family, food & lifestyle bloggers who’ve got a solid presence.
No formal preso here … let’s just get together and talk shop about our blogs and monetizing strategies … if you’re into that. First cupla drinks on Ted’s tab!
Note: I am not at all affiliated with Open Sky — I just wanted to share a potentially good resource with fellow bloggers and besides, it’s been a while since we all got together and networked.

The Reading Room, March 2010
Left to itself art would have to be something very simple – it would be sufficient for it to be beautiful. But when it’s useful it should spill out of just being beautiful and move over to other aspects of life so that when we’re not with the art it has nevertheless influenced our actions or our responses. – John Cage, from “The Aesthetics of John Cage: A Composite Interview,†1987
John Cage made you realize that there wasn’t a thing called noise, it was just music you hadn’t appreciated. – Brian Eno
Safeness lurks wherever we turn… Show me dangerous music. – Lukas Foss
(all quotes from www.subtropics.org)
On the second Friday of each month, a secret room in the Children’s Room at the Main Library becomes The Reading Room. In this cozy space, visitors can stop by any time between 12 and 2pm to get up close and personal with selections from the Library’s collection of artists’ books, publications and multiples. Experience these objects without having to look at them through a display case, engage in conversation over coffee and cookies, and see living-room style screenings of video and new media art (usually).
This installment of The Reading Room promises both discussion and activity. We’ll talk about a new project up right now at Sunny Isles Branch Library: In Parentheses – A Collaborative Site-Specific Installation by Adalberto Delgado and Maria I. Amores. In Parentheses uses video, sculpture and sound to explore the relationship between the interpretation of symbols and their meaning in language. And Gustavo Matamoros of will temporarily turn the space into an immersive environment in which to demonstrate the interdisciplinary nature of sound.

JAMIE CULLUM LAUNCHES “ONE MAN BRITISH INVASION” OF AMERICA
GOLDEN GLOBE & GRAMMY NOMINEE ANNOUCES MARCH TOUR DATES AND RELEASE OF NEW ALBUM THE PURSUIT ON MARCH 2, 2010
English singer/songwriter/pianist/multi-instrumentalist Jamie Cullum, who has been dubbed “a one man British invasion” (Hollywood Reporter), has announced a series of US tour dates to coincide with the U.S. release of The Pursuit on March 2, 2010. The album is Cullum’s third for Verve Records and his first in four years. It follows last year’s Golden Globe nomination for Cullum and Clint Eastwood of “Gran Torino” as Best Original Song. Cullum’s prior album releases Twentysomething and Catching Tales were international crossover smashes selling more than 4 million combined copies worldwide. Already released to great critical and commercial success in Europe and the U.K., The Pursuit has garnered Top 10 digital debuts on the ITunes Top Album Chart in the U.K., Germany, France, Spain and ten other countries. The album is currently #14 on the Billboard European Top 100 Album Chart.
Like the exploding piano on its cover, the long-awaited new album The Pursuit blows away audience preconceptions with 14 smoldering tracks that seamlessly run the gamut from swinging standards and yearning singer-songwriter confessionals to 125 BPM house dance tracks and resurrected Broadway ballads. The album features nine Cullum originals and five cover songs that showcase Cullum’s unique voice and iconoclastic interpretive skills. The self-penned gems include the buoyant first single “I’m All Over It,” the cheerfully apocalyptic “Wheels,” the animated swing of “You and Me Are Gone,” Cullum’s love song to music “Mixtape” and his love song to love “Love Ain’t Gonna Let You Down.”
Elsewhere on the album, Cullum reinvents 1930s jazz standards (Cole Porter’s “Just One Of Those Things” and “Love For Sale”), brings the dance floor into the bedroom (Rihanna’s “Don’t Stop The Music”) and cleans the pancake off the Great White Way (Leslie Bricusse’s “If I Ruled the World” and Stephen Sondheim’s “Not While I’m Around”).
Since the release of Cullum’s last album, he has seen an ever-growing courtship with Hollywood blossom: beginning with 2007’s animated Disney feature Meet The Robinsons in which Jamie was the singing voice of Frankie The Frog, continuing with his vocal on the Golden Globe-nominated “Best Original Song” from the John Cusack film Grace Is Gone, and culminating in his co-writing and performing with Clint Eastwood the Golden Globe-nominated “Best Original Song” from 2008’s Gran Torino. Cullum was also recently featured in the Clint Eastwood executive-produced documentary Johnny Mercer: The Dream’s On Me celebrating the 100th anniversary of the great American songwriter’s birth.
You do not want to miss Dharma’s first ever dinner and a movie night this Saturday, April 3rd, 8pm
Natalie & Loree will be cooking! (vegetarian & organic)
We’ll get comfortable and watch the Y Yoga Movie, a documentary that examines the influence of yoga in modern times.
Filmmaker Arthur Klein turned to yoga for relief in New York City, in an effort to regain inner peace and balance in the aftermath of 9/11. A year after he began a disciplined daily practice, two of his teachers asked him to create a film to document trends that were unfolding within the yoga community. For six years Klein explored the Western yogic experience, and captured its essence through a collection of distinctly American stories. In this movie, he examines why people do yoga and how it changes them.

Choreography by Robbins
Music by Chopin
Dances at a Gathering premiered in 1969 with New York City Ballet. It is a work for ten dancers set to piano pieces by Chopin. Robbins began choreographing the ballet as a pas de deux for Edward Villella and Patricia McBride but was so inspired by the music that he continued to expand the piece. He ended with eighteen pieces in all and with five female dancers and five male dancers set apart by the colors of their costumes. Although the ballet has no specific plot, the tone of the piece is uplifting and is tinged with Slavic feeling reminiscent of mazurkas and waltzes.

A Night at the Museum
Thursday, April 29th – 8:30-10:30PM
Bass Museum of Art – 2121 Park Avenue, Miami Beach
Visitors to the Bass Museum of Art will soon be able to experience the ancient world. On Thursday, April 29, the museum will inaugurate the only Egyptian Gallery and mummy in Florida at their members-only premiere event, A Night at the Museum. The evening features informal curator-led tours by Bass Museum’s Executive Director Silvia Cubiña and Brooklyn Museum’s Egyptologist and special exhibition curator, Dr. Edward Bleiberg. Membership costs $125 and admits two to this private opening event.
Guests will enjoy cocktails by GREY GOOSE vodka and Bervini Prosecco with special desserts from Stella’s Sweet Shoppe. There will be raffle prizes, including an Ikepod: Marc Newson Solaris and Art Basel Miami Beach VIP Package.
The gallery offers an opportunity to learn about one of the world’s oldest and most mysterious civilizations from its surviving objects, and will showcase sarcophagi, mummy and 13 objects of Egyptian antiquity on long-term loan from the Brooklyn Museum, Lowe Art Museum and individuals’ private collections.
The nearest Egyptian gallery is located 667 miles from Miami Beach at Michael C. Carlos Museum in Atlanta. Bass Museum’s Egyptian Gallery opens to the public April 30.
THE ONLY EGYPTIAN GALLERY IN FLORIDA TO OPEN IN APRIL
Featuring an Egyptian sarcophagus and mummy
Visitors to the Bass Museum of Art will soon be able to experience the ancient world. On April 29, the museum will inaugurate the only Egyptian Gallery in Florida. The gallery offers a unique opportunity to learn about one of the world’s oldest and most mysterious civilizations from its surviving objects, including an Egyptian sarcophagus and mummy.
This project was conceived when the Bass Museum’s Executive Director and Chief Curator, Silvia Karman Cubiñá, identified a Polychrome Wood Inner Sarcophagus and Mummy from 25th or 26th Dynasty (808 – 518 B.C.) in the museum’s collection. “With the opening of the Egyptian Gallery, the Bass Museum will appeal to a wide audience of art, culture, archeology and history lovers; children and adults alike. It will serve as the place in Miami to experience a long history of object-making and what these objects say about humankind from 700 B.C. through the present,†said Karman Cubiñá.
During the opening celebration in April and throughout the first year the gallery is open, the museum will mount an ambitious series of public programs to advance understanding of the customs and objects of Ancient Egypt. Special educational outreach efforts include IDEA@thebass Family Days and lectures by visiting curators.
The museum recruited Dr. Edward Bleiberg, Curator of Egyptian, Classical and Ancient Middle Eastern Art at the Brooklyn Museum, as Consulting Curator of the project to research and interpret the vast hieroglyphic paintings on the surface of the Sarcophagus. Dr. Bleiberg began his study in July 2009 by translating the hieroglyphic drawings on the inner sarcophagus to obtain more information about the mummy. Like most of the surviving Egyptian mummies, the Bass mummy is destined to remain shrouded in mystery. But it is this very type of ancient mystery that continues to intrigue Egyptian art enthusiasts throughout the world.
The Egyptian Gallery will be permanently housed in a 460 sq. ft. first floor gallery centrally located and close to the museum’s entrance. The gallery will showcase the sarcophagi, mummy and thirteen objects of Egyptian antiquity on long-term loan from the Brooklyn Museum, Lowe Art Museum and Private Collections. These objects are roughly from the same period as the Bass sarcophagi and provide a representative sampling of what would typically have been placed inside the tomb to assist the dead in transitioning to the afterlife.
MORE INFORMATION:
Membership required for Night at the Museum opening preview event on April 29th, gallery opens to the public April 30th.
Miami Beach neighbor, Mr. Dan P.S. Paul, who sadly passed away this past February, left a generous gift to the Bass Museum of an Egyptian coffin and mummy and two Apulian vases. A renowned lawyer and specialist in First Amendment issues, Mr. Paul was a major crafter of the Dade County Charter in 1957 and was civically involved in many community issues. Mr. Paul will be memorialized in the new Egyptian Gallery and in future installation of the permanent collection. His legacy and spirit of generosity will continue to spread as school children and the general public enjoys these valuable objects.
Fun fact for anyone hoping to visit an Egyptian gallery: The next closest Egyptian gallery/sarcophagus is located at Michael C. Carlos Museum at Emory University in Atlanta, GA. This is 667 miles from Bass Museum of Art (Driving time: 10 hours 31 minutes).

â€Malice in Wonderlandâ€
“If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is because everything would be what it isn’t. And contrary-wise, what it is it wouldn’t be, and what it wouldn’t be, it would. You see?â€
Welcome to Malice in Wonderland!
This show will take you on a marvelous adventure into the unknown. Ray Azcuy, Lu Coxhead, Luis Diaz and Yamel Molerio will surprise you with an array of artworks exploring familiar settings with a twist of malice. The artworks will explore the tragic and inevitable loss of childhood innocence, life as a meaningless puzzle, and death as a constant and underlying menace. All of the pieces have a dream like quality while dealing with diverse personal issues. The curious viewers may find themselves looking at confusing subject matter that they could simply regard as nonsense or approach the work and explore at a deeper level to discover the meaning beneath the layers of paint.
Follow us, down the rabbit’s hole and join us for our opening.

CALIX GUSTAV GALLERY DEBUTS NEW EXHIBIT “STICKY & SWEETâ€
Cutting-edge gallery once again pushes the envelope with sexually charged show
WHAT/WHO: Calix Gustav Gallery will debut its newest exhibit “Sticky & Sweet†on Saturday, April 10, 2010 from 7:00 to 10:00 p.m. coinciding with Wynwood’s monthly art walk. The unveiling of the exhibit, which explicitly explores sexual freedom, expression and all related taboos – a-la-Madonna – will be celebrated with an opening reception featuring beats by DJ Johnny the Boy and complimentary cocktails.
In a society where sexual liberation often has a tongue-in-cheek political innuendo, “Sticky & Sweet†examines sexuality as a means for personal identity through both self-expression and social labeling. Featured artists Eurydice, Carl Pascuzzi, Diane Arrieta, Jonathan Stein, Alexis Rodriguez-Duarte and Spunk and The Orange Kittens use their craft to shed light on sexuality as it relates to human nature – key elements being ambiguity, eroticism as well as overt and graphic references.
“Sticky & Sweet†will run from April 10, 2010 through May 29, 2010. Regular gallery visiting hours are from Tuesday to Saturday from 12:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.
For more information on Calix Gustav Gallery, please visit www.calixgustav.com.

Saturday April 10, 2010 will be one of many nights in support of a great cause, specific not only to South Florida, but the world. From 6-9pm, there will be a photography exhibition held at MINIbar, a new restaurant in the Design District located at 3612 NE 2nd Avenue. The photographs on display will be donated works from local photographer, Anthony Jordon (photographer for Miami New Times, Miami Magazine, and www.miamiartzine.com).
The photo exhibition is titled “Living & Loving: Celebrating our Comfort”. It’s a tribute to all of people enjoying everyday living, a positive motivation to all people infected/affected by HIV/AIDS. The works will feature various couples representative of all cultures and lifestyles, which make Miami the diverse city that it is. The photos will be auctioned to generate funds in support of HIV/AIDS program funding via donation to the Repeat Offenders, one of the many teams participating in Miami Beach AIDS Walk 2010. The bidding will begin at 630pm but in the silent auction fashion, where all works will be on display from bidding start time until 830pm. At that time, bidding ends, and the highest bidders can then collect their new prized photo. It’s as simple as stopping by, viewing the works (and the crowd for your competition) and hoping for the best when the bidding ends.
While at MINIbar don’t forget to sample some of the eats, treats, and wines available (www.minibarmiami.com).
There is no cover for the event, ample parking around the area and a great environment to bring any and everyone out to enjoy a night of photography and goodwill.

Be one of those who are constantly aware of the feelings of others; this is the very purpose of service. Do service that will promote peace and harmony in the world.â€
Ma teaches from a profound inner realization, bringing a wonderful sense of humor to the moment. Through colorful stories and a guided meditation, Ma will encourage us to see through all appearances into the depths of the heart, where our divine self dwells. It is from that place of kindness and awareness that we experience the joy of service. “We are honored to host Ma Jaya in Miami,†says Chris Jackson, Senior Minister. “Her philosophy and her very presence reflect a key aspect of our Unity teaching – service.â€

Miami Based chart-topping, super producing, Grammy Nominated duo Marcello “Cool†Valenzano and Andre “Dre†Lyon also know as Cool & Dre and their Epidemic Music imprint are gearing up for the release of C-Ride’s sophomore album “The Arab Store†which is being released virally for FREE today via www.c2daride.com.
The title of the album is a nod to all the convenience stores that can be found on almost every corner in Miami. Says C-Ride, “Down here in Miami, whatever you need is in the Arab store-a toothbrush, cereal, a tire. My album is just that. If you need it now, whatever you need, whatever you want, whenever you need it, it’s gonna be right there.†The first single is the Cool & Dre banger “What’s Hood” featuring Gorilla Zoe. Cool and Dre along with Real Big Management and Stacks Entertainment are executive producers on this album.
In regards to releasing the album for free C-Ride says, “I grew tired of waiting for the album to be released through my major label. I couldn’t let such amazing music just sit on a shelf and my fans were growing impatient as well. The Music Industry is changing and artists are releasing their music via the internet to give their fans what they want and that’s what I decided to do. I rather have hundreds of thousands of downloads and have people listen to my music than none at all.â€

Carlos Cruz-Diez: The Embodied Experience of Color explores the artist’s pioneering contribution to experimental practices with color and perceptual structures in the 1960s and 1970s that proposed new definitions for the art work as a field of participation. For more information, visit miamiartmuseum.org or call 305.375.1705.
The exhibition will feature Cromosaturación (Chromosaturation), a site-specific environment designed by the artist that focuses on the relationship between color and perception. Initially conceived in 1965 and presented for the first time in 1968 in the Ostwald Museum in Dortmund, Germany, this work consists of three separate color chambers infused with red, green and blue light. The real content of this work is the visitor’s experience of walking through the shifting chromatic space and interacting over time through his physical movement.

Gripping, physically intense and genuinely lyrical, this award-winning extended evening-length duet Ölelés for two men marks the first collaboration between acclaimed Catalán choreographers and performers Jordi Cortés and Damián Muñoz – two of Spain’s most innovative young dance artists. Based on writer Sándor Márai’s 1942 masterpiece Embers, this high-velocity, nearly violent piece dramatizes the bitter reunion of two long-estranged friends, who look back to the fateful betrayal that shattered their bond 40 years earlier. Ölelés has received the Ciudad de Barcelona Award and the Premio de la Feria Internacional de Huesca.
Cortés has performed with DV8 Physical Theatre in London, among others and Muñoz, who formed his own company in 1995 and is dubbed the Almodóvar of dance in Spain. This simmering physical theatre work is guaranteed to draw the audience through an intense and furious male bonding.

The MBA at FIU is taking the boss’s office on the road to your favorite local happy hour spots and giving you a chance to sit behind the desk. Instead of taking the orders, you will be giving them, trying to keep everything in one piece as employees panic and deadlines loom.
Your performance review won’t be with human resources, but online, as your friends and competitors vote on videos of your experience and those of all the other participants. The “best boss”, as decided by popular vote, will be the proud owner of a new Apple iPad.
Step into our office, take a seat in the executive chair, and prove you have what it takes to Be the Boss.

A portion of your ticket is tax deductible. Educate Tomorrow is a certified 501 (C)(3) organization.
Educate Tomorrow, Corp. is an international, nonprofit, certified 501(c)(3) organization. All over the world, poverty denies children, as well as adults, the promises of a better tomorrow. Forgotten by society and social welfare programs, children born into poverty are trapped in a cruel and often violent cycle that frequently continues for generations. Lacking the inspiration, confidence, knowledge, and means to change, entire families are lost to the cycle of hopelessness.
Educate Tomorrow believes that the best way to end the cycle of poverty is through education. Our mission is to make education an attainable goal for the most disadvantaged in our world, so that all may be afforded the possibilities that can be achieved through learning. We strive to reach out to these individuals and provide them inspiration, guidance, and support and lead them on the path of life-long learning.
Educate Tomorrow’s primary mission in the US is to provide one-on-one educational mentors to foster care children that are turning 18 and “aging out” of the system. Since its founding in 2003, Educate Tomorrow has successfully implemented its mentoring programs, education programs and life skills camps across the nation. Additionally, it has reached internationally by continuing to support the work of its founders who established one of the first local language primary schools, adult literacy programs and boarding schools in the remote and impoverished village of Kabey Fo in Niger, West Africa.
