Through the Museum of Contemporary Art, North Miami (MOCA)’s continued efforts to include diverse voices and perspectives, the museum is offering a robust series of educational and public programming to commemorate Pride Month and Caribbean-American Heritage Month this June.

On view through Oct. 1, 2023, “Lonnie Holley: If You Really Knew” invites visitors to experience the work of prolific artist Lonnie Holley in his first major exhibition in the South. Also on view is the “South Florida Cultural Consortium” (SFCC) exhibition which showcases the work of 12 intergenerational South Florida artists.

“Lonnie Holley: If You Really Knew” provides an intimate and focused look at the career of Birmingham, Alabama-born artist and musician Lonnie Holley. The exhibition, curated by MOCA curator Adeze Wilford, features 70 works including foundational “sandstone” sculptures, new works on paper and large-scale quilt paintings that depict faces. Known for his unique style of art that draws inspiration from his life experiences, Holley often incorporates found objects and everyday materials, which he transforms into thought-provoking art. Holley’s influence on Southern art is highlighted throughout “If You Only Knew,” including a section he curated featuring works from artists such as Miami native Purvis Young, Thornton Dial, Mary T. Smith and Hawkins Bowling.

The “South Florida Cultural Consortium” (SFCC) exhibition brings together 12 artists working across various media including, sculpture, film and site-specific installations. The exhibition, this year hosted and organized by MOCA, provides a snapshot of the breadth and depth of the artistic talent in the South Florida art scene.

On view outside the museum from late June through late August is MOCA’s most recent “Art on the Plaza” commission, LIZN’BOW (Liz Ferrer and Bow Ty)’s “El Mundo Es Magico.” The sculpture, “El Mundo Es Magico,” features displaced queer characters in a mix of reality and fantasy within Miami iconography, inviting conversations of fluidity, gender, class and identity. Central to the duo’s work is the feminist reimagining of each element towards a more inclusive, fantastical worldview.

On view through June 25, 2023, visitors will be able to step into MOCA’s Paradise Courtyard and discover “Victory Garden,” an interactive sculptural community garden created by Miami-based artist Emmett Moore. Drawing inspiration from victory gardens of the past, which were planted during wartime to supplement rations and boost morale, Moore’s “Victory Garden” connects the local community with contemporary art and encourages visitors to reflect on their relationship with the built environment.

Starting June 12, MOCA is offering a contemporary art experience with its summer art camps. Children ages 6-13 may join the museum for in-person camps including Studio Arts Camp and Dynamic Design Camp. Each session will offer a different theme to introduce students to a variety of contemporary art or design techniques. The art camps will entail 10, one-week sessions through Aug. 18.

MOCA’s June programming includes:

MOCA Tours | Saturdays in June – 3, 10 , 17 and 24, 11:30 a.m.–3 p.m.
• Details: MOCA North Miami invites guests to a public tour of its exhibitions, “Lonnie Holley: If You Really Knew” and “South Florida Cultural Consortium” (SFCC). The tour will be led by MOCA Exhibition Specialist Lauren Baccus.

ArtServe and World AIDS Museum and Educational Center Host Discussion Thurs., June 1

When talk therapy is off the table because strong emotions make mentioning “that which is better left unsaid” too daunting, some turn to the creative arts to help them release their feelings and manage their mental health.

On Thursday, June 1, ArtServe joins the World AIDS Museum and Educational Center to present a panel discussion called “Painting Our Minds” on how artistry and self-expression can often heal, inspire and elevate well-being.

Featuring ArtServe protégé and artist Niki Lopez together with Licensed Mental Health Counselor Klifton S. Fehr as guest panelists, the two-hour event takes place at The Our Fund Foundation Hall at ArtServe in Fort Lauderdale from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. Admission is free.

To register, click here.

“I call it the ‘Elephant in the Room,’” Lopez said. In fact, she created “What’s Your Elephant,” a program that creates a safe space for people to dialogue and bring awareness to the unspoken through art. It includes visual and performing arts, interactive arts, creative community building, hands-on projects, workshops and events.

Fehr, who has dedicated himself to helping those suffering with severe and persistent mental illness, serial incarcerations, substance use disorders and other mental health concerns, particularly enjoys helping young people build their self-esteem, enhance their levels of empathy, increase their collaborative abilities and improve their capacity to set healthy boundaries.

The event includes free food and beverages, along with live entertainment and a “spoken word” oral poetry presentation by Rebecca Butterfly Vaughns.

Along with collaboration by ArtServe and the World AIDS Museum and Educational Center, the event is made possible by support from Broward Cultural Division and The Our Fund Foundation.

Sponsored by MyPsychiatrist.com and Broward Health, ArtServe’s mental health-themed art exhibit currently runs through Fri., June 16, 2023, and is open from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday. ArtServe is located at 1350 E. Sunrise Boulevard in Fort Lauderdale.

ArtServe inspires, supports and advances its diverse members, artists and community by promoting artistic development, education and prosperity through the exploration and presentation of the visual and performing arts.

Fantasy Theatre Factory is proud to present a FREE live performance of Wizards, and Dragons, and Books… Oh My! at the North Shore Branch Library.

Jojo, a great kid who loves to read… That is until some kids in the lunchroom start calling her names like “bookworm.” To avoid the bullying, Jojo goes to Mendel’s Magical Book Shop, hoping that she can sell his books and use the money to buy video games, so she’ll fit in with the other kids. Once in the Magic Book Shop though, things take an unexpected turn as the stories in her books magically start to jump to life all around her! Now, all of the pages to Jojo’s books are blank and the characters from her books are running wild in real life!

It’s up to Jojo to retell the stories to get her old friends to go back on the page. While Jojo works to get his favorite characters from her books to go back on to the pages they belong in, she remembers why she loves to read some much in the first place; It’s really FUN! Along the way Jojo starts to realize that all of his books have characters in them who are different, and that being different is what makes them special.

In recognition of the proximity of Haitian Flag Day and Florida’s Emancipation Day, this panel brings together historians and cultural experts for a transnational conversation about freedom struggles in the Caribbean and the Americas and to educate the public about the respective holidays.

The next addition to our “Dans Le Avant Garde” series. In the Louisiana bayou, big brother Ogun Size is hardworking and steady. Younger brother Oshoosi is just out of prison and aimless. Elega, Oshoosi’s old prison-mate, is a mysterious complication. A simple circle defines a world that beings in ritual and evolves into a touch and tender drama of what it means to brother and be brothered. Flights of poetry, music, dance, and West African mythology combine in a contemporary tale that explores the tenuousness of freedom and the need to belong somewhere, to something, to someone.
Following the matinee performance on June 24, we will have a talkback entitled “Bein’ a Brutha”, focusing on masculinity and brotherhood in the Black Male community. In addition, we will delve into the traditional emotional tendencies in male culture, and explore concepts of love, weakness, the black male body, and effeminacy. Featuring “Universal Man” Mo Beasley, Researcher/Educator, Brian Knowles, and Co-Founder of Project T.H.U.G, David L. Jackson, the essence of this talkback will unpack how non-sexual relationships between men are tainted and looked down upon, as well as, the effects of those responses, be it emotional instability or generational traumas.
This production contains strong language.
“THE BROTHERS SIZE is presented by special arrangement with Broadway Licensing, LLC, servicing the

Wizards, Dragons, and Books… Oh My!” is FTF’s newest literacy incentive and bully prevention show. The story stars Jojo, a great kid who loves to read… That is until some kids in the lunchroom start calling him names like “bookworm.” To avoid the bullying, Jojo goes to Mendel’s Magical Book Shop, hoping that he can sell his books and use the money to buy video games, so he’ll fit in with the other kids. Once in the Magic Book Shop though, things take an unexpected turn as the stories in his books magically start to jump to life all around him! Now, all of the pages in Jojo’s books are blank and the characters from his books are running wild in real life!
It’s up to Jojo to retell the stories to get his old friends to go back on the page. While Jojo works to get his favorite characters from his books to go back on to the pages they belong in, he remembers why he loves to read so much in the first place; It’s really FUN! Along the way Jojo starts to realize that all of his books have characters in them who are different, and that being different is what makes them special.
This show artfully weaves its featured books into its thru-line to create a show that both encourages reading and celebrates diversity.
This is a Live, Sensory Inclusive matinee performance at the Sandrell Rivers Theater! Sensory inclusive performances are designed to create a performing arts experience that is welcoming to all families with children with autism or with other disabilities that create sensory sensitivities.

Website
Cost: $10

The Museum of Contemporary Art, North Miami (MOCA) will celebrate its newest exhibitions, “Lonnie Holley: If You Really Knew” and “South Florida Cultural Consortium” (SFCC) with an opening reception on Wednesday, May 10. Art patrons will have the opportunity to browse the exhibitions while enjoying live music, cocktails and canapés in MOCA’s Paradise Courtyard. MOCA’s Executive Director Chana Sheldon, Curator Adeze Wilford, artist Lonnie Holley and the 12 participating South Florida Cultural Consortium artists will be present.

“Lonnie Holley: If You Really Knew” invites visitors to experience the work of prolific artist Lonnie Holley in his first major exhibition in the South. SFCC showcases the work of 12 intergenerational South Florida artists selected to show their work in the “South Florida Cultural Consortium (SFCC)” exhibition. Both exhibitions go on view May 10 through Oct. 1, 2023.

“Lonnie Holley: If You Really Knew” provides an intimate and focused look at the career of Birmingham, Alabama-born artist and musician Lonnie Holley. The exhibition, curated by MOCA curator Adeze Wilford, features 70 works including foundational “sandstone” sculptures, new works on paper and large-scale quilt paintings that depict faces. Known for his unique style of art that draws inspiration from his life experiences, Holley often incorporates found objects and everyday materials, which he transforms into thought-provoking art. Holley’s influence on Southern art is highlighted throughout “If You Only Knew,” including a section he curated featuring works from artists including Miami native Purvis Young, Thornton Dial, Mary T. Smith and Hawkins Bowling.

The SFCC exhibition brings together 12 artists working across various media including, sculpture, film and site-specific installations. The exhibition, this year hosted and organized by MOCA, will provide a snapshot of the breadth and depth of the artistic talent in the South Florida art scene. A catalogue will be published to accompany the exhibition.

The 12 artists, Farley Aguilar, Gabino A. Castelán, Nereida Garcia-Ferraz, Moira Holohan, Francesco Lo Castro, Tory Mata, Beatriz Monteavaro, Ema Ri, Asser Saint-Val, Carin Wagner, Carrington Ware and Addison Wolff, were selected through the SFCC 2021-2022 Visual and Media Artists Program, which awards a grant and the opportunity to take part in an exhibition at a visual arts institution in one of the five counties (Broward, Martin, Miami-Dade, Monroe or Palm Beach).

The exhibitions will be accompanied by a series of exciting public programming and educational experiences. More details will be announced.

On view outside the museum is MOCA’s most recent “Art on the Plaza” commission, Edison Peñafiel’s installation, “Run, Run, Run Like the Wind.” This colorful display of nine banners will hang from the highest point of the palm trees throughout MOCA’s Plaza, showcasing characters on the run and accompanied by text taken from Latin American protest songs. Peñafiel’s work will highlight the act of escape during political turmoil, speaking to themes of human migration, displacement and social justice.

Guests will also have the opportunity to view “Welcome to Paradise,” a commissioning program featuring temporary public art projects by South Florida artists in MOCA’s Paradise Courtyard. The first installation, “Victory Garden” by artist Emmett Moore draws inspiration from victory gardens planted during wartime to supplement rations and boost morale. The installation is an interactive sculptural garden that connects the community with contemporary art and examines our relationship with the environment. Utilizing sustainable materials such as repurposed steel drums to form planters, “Victory Garden” includes plants native to South Florida and the Caribbean.

Heal Fest 2023 5/18/23

Heal Fest 2023
Thursday, 05/18/2023-, 07:00 pm-11:00 pm
The Doral Yard
8455 NW 53rd St Suite 106,
Doral, Florida, 33166
Eventbrite
Cost: $35

Heal For Us, a newly organized nonprofit that aims to encourage people struggling with mental health has partnered with The Ripple Effect to put on a night of music and poetry at The Doral Yard on May 18 in support of Mental Health Awareness Month. The concert will feature local musicians singing cover songs from artists who suffered from mental health issues such as Amy Winehouse, Whitney Houston, Mac Miller, Nirvana, and Prince.

“We have lost some of the greatest musicians of our time to the void of darkness, addiction, and depression. Close to 120,000 people die each year to suicide or overdose; people who once had flourishing careers, said Nedal Ahmad, founder of Heal For Us. “As a parent, I’m well aware of the struggles men have speaking about anxiety and depression and the stigma of having to be the strong, dependable, father figure in the family.” According to the ADAA, over 6 million men suffer from depression per year, but male depression often goes underdiagnosed. More than 3 million men in the US have panic disorder, agoraphobia, or any other phobia. Heal for Us wants to bridge that gap and empower fathers with resources, mental health services, and support.

Over 30 local musicians and bands signed up to participate in Heal Fest 2023’s night of music and poetry; only five were chosen for the inaugural event. The lineup includes up-and-coming artists such as:

• VIX is influenced by Amy Winehouse. She infuses her music with a distinctive blend of rock, soul, and pop, and her lyrics are deeply personal and introspective, often exploring themes of love, loss, and self-discovery. IG: @VIXmvsic
• Joshua Mitchell is scheduled to perform music from Prince. Whether you’re overcome with the unstoppable urge to get up and dance, or the urge to shed a few tears, Joshua Mitchell’s music is bound to make you feel something. Joshua promotes mental health awareness, social equality, community outreach, and of course, just having a good time. IG: @joshuamitchellmusic
• Dria is a Florida-raised, NY-based artist and performing arts teacher, who will be performing music from Whitney Houston. Dria has been referred to as a “Creative Powerhouse” and dreams of building her creative community with a space that can be safe for ALL through the Arts. IG: @highdefinizion_21
• Christopher Luv is a 25-year-old from Miami who will be covering Kurt Cobain from Nirvana. IG: @christopherluvmusic
• Trevon DeVitto known as Giftrap Tre will perform music from Mac Miller. He will also be the artist to provide the spoken word.

Tickets are available online via Eventbrite at healfest2023.com, and they start at $35. Proceeds go towards the event and Heal For Us, which provides funds for those who cannot afford to pay for therapy.

WHEN: May 18, 2023, at 7:00 PM

WHERE: The Doral Yard, 8455 NW 53rd St Suite 106, Doral, FL 33166

TICKETS: www.healfest2023.com

ABOUT HEAL FEST:
Local restauranteur and former owner of Pincho Factory, Nedal Ahmad, founded Heal For Us, a 501 c3, with a simple goal in mind — to answer the question, what would our world look like with more present fathers, more vulnerable partners, and men who are given the tools to process their past and reshape their future. His own fatherhood and mental health journey drove him to want to share the very change he has seen in his relationship with his children. Heal For Us offers referral services, mental health research, and resources to those who do not have the means to pay for mental health therapy.

Entry Fee: $40 – $55

It’s Tracy Jones, and Tracy Jones, and Tracy Jones! In Island City Stage’s newest comedy production, “Tracy Jones” by Stephen Kaplan, the lonely eponymous character throws a party inviting every other woman with the same name to join her for chicken wings and beer! Part of National New Play Network Rolling World Premiere in three different cities, this touching story of individual connection in an increasingly complicated world hits the South Florida stage from May 18 – June 18.

Tracy Jones is having a major life crisis. Her job at the bank is taking her nowhere, her panic attacks are getting worse and having such a common name is giving her an identity crisis. With everything spiraling out of control around her, it’s time to find something she can take control of. That’s when it hits her; she’s going to throw a party to celebrate every woman named Tracy Jones. After an extensive marketing campaign that included tracking down others by the same name, posters and a Facebook event, the party is finally here. The Funtime Party Zone at the Jones Street Bar & Grill is all set up and Tracy is eagerly awaiting her guests.

Stephen Kaplan is an award-winning playwright with productions off-Broadway and in regional theaters, nationally. “Tracy Jones” is a National New Play Network Rolling World Premiere playing simultaneously at Williamston Theatre in Williamston, Michigan and CenterStage in Rochester, New York, in addition to Island City Stage in Wilton Manors, Florida. It was a Chameleon Theatre winner and a finalist for B Street Theatre’s New Comedies Festival, and for the ScreenCraft Stage Play Contest and the Trustus Playwrights Festival. It was one of two chosen for a developmental reading at Chameleon Theatre, Minnesota.

Directed by Rogow and co-produced by Raymond Griffis and Mark Tews, “Tracy Jones” stars returning Island City performers Niki Fridh as the lead Tracy, Matthew Buffalo, Irene Adjan, and Sara Grant.

Creating quality professional theatrical experiences focused on the LGBT+ community for a universal audience, Island City Stage’s 11th South Florida season has tackled thought-provoking productions that explore the world of beauty pageants, poignant longing, gender questions, loneliness and the ins and outs of friendship.

Tickets for “Tracy Jones” start at $40. Enjoy a special Mimosa Sunday on May 28 for $55 that includes a light bites pre-reception and a post-show talkback, sponsored by Home Instead. This production is also supported by FAB (Funding Arts Broward).

New SoFlo Boat Show is Making Waves in Miami

Premiere Boating & Marine Lifestyle Event Launches
at Miami Marine Stadium This May

The SoFlo Boat Show is excited to announce its grand debut at the historic Miami Marine Stadium from May 19-21, 2023. This inaugural event will bring together a boating style of living and marine enthusiasts from around Florida and abroad for an unforgettable weekend of nautical excitement, shopping, networking, and entertainment.

The SoFlo Boat Show is the ultimate destination for the boating way of life, offering an unparalleled showcase of the finest marine vessels, equipment, and accessories. Attendees will have the opportunity to explore a wide range of boats, from cruisers to high-performance fishing boats, all set against the stunning backdrop of the Miami skyline. In addition to showcasing a variety of vessels, both on land and in water, one of the features of the show will be the sea trial dock for those looking to test the many featured boats on the water. Boat manufacturers already confirmed to participate include Yellowfin, Invincible, SeaVee, Boston Whaler, Pursuit, Albemarle, Tiara, Seahunter, Pathfinder, Blackfin, Hurricane, Cobia, and Sea Hunt, to name a few. The show will also feature all boating parts and accessories, across engines, electronics, fishing equipment, diving gear, and more. Organizers are taking an innovative approach to boost sales by offering 100 gallons of Shoreline Marine Fuel to anyone who buys a boat during the show, and an opportunity to win an Icon golf cart to anyone who buys a SoFlo Boat Show ticket.

“We are thrilled to launch the SoFlo Boat Show, the premiere boating lifestyle event in Miami that celebrates our shared passion for the nautical way of life,” said Tony Albelo, CEO of EngageLive. “Miami Marine Stadium is the perfect venue to host this spectacular showcase, and we cannot wait to welcome boating fans to join us for this experience”, Albelo added.
In addition to the impressive display of marine crafts and accessories, the SoFlo Boat Show will feature engaging seminars and workshops led by industry experts, as well as live music, gourmet food, and a wide array of activities for the whole family. Attendees will also have the chance to network with industry professionals and fellow boat lovers, making this a must-attend event for anyone passionate about boating. The organizers are committed to making this an experience that caters to both boating aficionados and newcomers. Featured experiences of the show will include:

• In-Water Displays – With boats in every shape, size, and style, and as a precursor to the summer season, exhibitors will be looking to close out deals with last-minute specials to move inventory before the Summer.
• The Sea Trial Dock – Will have a selection of boats available to run throughout the entire weekend for those wanting to test-drive on the water.
• El Mar Pavilion – Will feature boats, watercraft, electronics, accessories, fishing products, apparel, and anything and everything nautical. All this, under the comfort of air-conditioning.
• Nautical Art & Décor – Boaters enjoy being surrounded by nautical-themed art and décor; it’s a reminder of where we live, work, and play, and the show will have a selection of nautically themed art exhibitors from around the country.
• Commemorative Poster – Carey Chen has been commissioned to create the very first limited-edition collectible poster. Chen is a genuine master of his craft, gaining worldwide attention for his unparalleled portraits of life at sea. The incredible blend of colors and exquisite detail are the trademark of each Carey Chen masterpiece, which has catapulted him to the forefront of the marine art industry.
• Fishing Fun Zone – Not only can you see and buy the latest and greatest in fishing, but the interactive Fishing Fun Zone will host seminars, workshops, and engaging experiences for anglers of all ages.
• The Center Consoles Only VIP Experience – When patrons of the CCO VIP Experience arrive at the show, they’ll be shuttled by private Icon golf carts right to the front gates of the show. Inside the show, they’ll have access to the exclusive CCO Experience Lounge with an open bar, and private seating – all in air-conditioned comfort!
• The Ship’s Wheel & The Galley – What would a waterfront boat show be without an iconic bar and food selection? The team behind the Ship’s Wheel, a 360-degree bar, will keep those drinks coming. Meanwhile, The Galley will feature food from South Florida’s top restaurants and vendors including a full raw bar.
• Soundings Live Music Stage – The Marine Stadium has a long history of showcasing some of the biggest names in music. The Soundings Stage will feature live music every day and when the sun goes down, the nightly Headliner Concert begins making it the perfect ending to a blissful boating day.

SoFlo Boat Show’s Focus on the Environment & Boating Safety

As Miami natives and big advocates of preserving the environment and boating safety, the show organizers are committed to supporting both causes by implementing these initial efforts:

Environment – The Show has committed to operating sustainably during the operation of the event and as such, has engaged marine environment experts to ensure responsible show production. In addition to targeting on-land and in-water efforts, SoFlo will have a strict no Styrofoam policy, as well as restrict the use of plastics.

Boating Safety – Every year, the industry and our local community experiences avoidable accidents, injuries, and loss of life. As lifelong boaters, the SoFlo founders and organizers have committed to making a positive influence on boating safety, including partnering with and supporting local boating safety foundations in the community that are pushing for education and awareness of boating responsibly. In subsequent years, the show’s commitment to boating safety will expand, including the development and introduction of new and inventive boating safety programs.
