The third edition of The Drawing Room presents Miami based artist, Gustavo Oviedo, also known as 131, of with variety of selects. Oviedo works with a variety of mediums including film, video, paint and aerosol and is inspired by a personal passion and deep love for the ocean and capturing and sharing his encounters with the water and wildlife within it. For this month’s installation, Oviedo will be showcasing for one night only, videos that were created through filming hours of content which he later edits in to a variety of clips of highlighting the overall experience.

The Freehand is a hostel created for a new generation of travelers located at the newly renovated historic Indian Creek Hotel, featuring handcrafted design by Roman & Williams, local food and beverage, a comfortable community atmosphere, and both shared and private accommodations — all just one block from the beach. Located just outside the lobby, The Broken Shaker features specialty handcrafted cocktails with elixirs, syrups, and infusions made from herbs and spices from their own garden, fresh–pressed produce and exotic ingredients from around the world.
