“Happy Hour Fitness” is a healthy Friday night alternative to the typical post-work calorie fest.

Plus, attendees of the first class on July 27th will receive goodie bags stuffed with beauty and fitness essentials.

Trade in calories for cardio! South Florida women are about to get a new take on the term “Happy Hour.” Transforming the meaning of a great weekend kick-off from a calorie-loaded gossip session to a serotonin-boosting workout, Miami Fitness Guru Janette Janero is pleased to announce the launch of her weekly workout concept: Happy Hour Fitness.

While cocktails can range from 100-400 calories per drink and can lower your inhibition to gorge on fatty after work food, Happy Hour Fitness is meant to encourage attendees to trade in traditional Friday night behaviors in exchange for a fit physique just in time for the weekend. Say “buh-bye!” to margs and appies!

The new sweat sessions are slated to begin Friday July 27th from 6:00-7:15 p.m. The session begins with a 60 minute calorie-blasting dance cardio session, featuring a playlist of the latest hit tracks, followed by a condensed abdominal class, called “Non-Fat Abs,” 15 minutes of highly effective core strengthening moves. Priced at $15, the 75-minute session offers a waistband-friendly way to start the weekend off right

During the first Happy Hour Fitness event on July 27th, guests can expect to receive goodie bags stuffed with the latest beauty and fitness essentials. Discounted faux cocktails and slimming smoothies will be available for purchase at the in-house smoothie bar.

Alonzo and Tracy Mourning Celebrate It’s All Overtown One Night One World at Rusty Pelican Benefiting The Overtown Youth Center 7/19/12

Posted on    by

Alonzo & Tracy Mourning To Celebrate It’s All Overtown “One Night…One World” at Rusty Pelican, Benefiting The Overtown Youth Center
Thursday, July 19th, 2012, 6:30-10:00PM
Rusty Pelican
3201 Rickenbacker Causeway
Key Biscayne, FL 33149
To purchase tickets, starting at $125, and for more information, visit www.overtownyouth.org or call (305) 349-1204.
Limited self-parking. $6 valet service also available.

NBA Champion, Alonzo Mourning, and wife Tracy, will host It’s All Overtown, “One Night…One World,” a premier annual fundraiser to benefit the Overtown Youth Center. The recently redesigned Rusty Pelican, an iconic restaurant offering spectacular waterfront views of downtown Miami, will present the event, which raises much-needed funds to support the Center. Guests, alongside the Mistress of Ceremonies, Belkys Nerey, WSVN-TV News Anchor, will be transported around the world with entertainment, food, and specialty cocktails, all embracing the evening’s theme of multicultural inclusion. There will also be an auction and multiple opportunities to support the program founded by Mourning in 2003.

The Overtown Youth Center’s annual fundraising event, It’s All Overtown, raises much-needed funds to support various year-round programming initiatives and enrichment services offered to families and children confronted with a community overflowing with insurmountable socio-economic challenges. For a population of over 13,000 people with a majority minority population (62% Black, 28% Hispanic), an astonishing 49% failed to obtain a high school diploma versus 80% nationally. With a median income of only $15,363 and 36% reporting less than $10,000 in annual income, more than 41% of families, with children, and 46% of individuals lived below the poverty level. Not surprisingly, the public schools serving Overtown’s youth are amongst the poorest performing schools statewide.

Rigorous research has demonstrated that after-school and summer programs can reduce violence and dropout rates while improving the likelihood of education after high school. Every$1.00 invested in after-school programs yields $9.00 in public benefit due to the reduction in crime and juvenile incarceration and due to increased tax revenue from more productive communities. By reducing the current number of dropouts by half would yield almost 700,000 new graduates a year.

Dedicated to ushering in a new group of positive contributing citizens and future leaders, the Overtown Youth Center focuses on inspiring, and empowering youth and families through enrichment services. The Center engages in the constant provision of services (24-hour case management, in-school and after-school and summer services). Overall the program uses a developmentally age-appropriate approach to social, emotional and intellectual development.

The mission of the Overtown Youth Center (OYC) is to inspire and empower youth and families by fostering hope through enrichment services. Co-founded by real-estate developer Martin Z. Marguiles and Alonzo Mourning, the Overtown Youth Center is an academic and recreational state-of-the-art facility located in the heart of Miami’s inner city. Since 2003, OYC has provided services to youth from in grades 2nd through 12th and has offered in-school, after-school, weekend, and summer programs that include academic support, arts and culture, health and wellness, prevention, and character-building activities, including parent enrichment activities. For more information, visit www.overtownyouth.org.

Key Biscayne’s iconic waterfront dining destination, the Rusty Pelican, reopened in December 2011 after an extensive $9 million renovation. Executive chef Michael Gilligan, formerly of the W Hotel on South Beach, has created a fresh modern American menu that mirrors the cool, clean look and vibe of the new Rusty Pelican. Diners can expect a large selection of tasty small plates, perfect for sharing and plenty of freshly caught seafood on Gilligan’s versatile menu. The restaurant boasts breathtaking waterfront views and a vibrant energy that draws diners in, making it a perfect hotspot for dinner, drinks and special events, from a casual cocktail party to a formal wedding for 500. Catering menu options are flexible so that guests may customize them to fit any event or budget. The newly reconfigured restaurant seats 214 in the main dining room, 100 in the bar/lounge area and another 100 on the patio. The second floor features a separate entry for guests, an outdoor terrace and a ballroom, accommodating 60 to 500. Topping it all off is a beautiful new bar and lounge, offering a variety of signature cocktails, microbrews, wines by the glass and bottle service. A wine cellar showcases 1,500 carefully selected bottles. The Rusty Pelican is located at 3021 Rickenbacker Causeway in Key Biscayne. Telephone: (305) 361-3818. www.therustypelican.com

July 19 – September 1, 2012

Gallery Diet is pleased to present a group show curated by artist Van Hanos. This show is the second in a two-part series of exhibitions presented by ART BLOG ART BLOG at Gallery Diet in summer 2012.

This exhibition stems from the ideas and questions motivated by a single artwork by Brion Gysin. The Dream Machine is an anomaly within the history of art, the only known artwork that is fully activated as the viewer closes their eyes. Taken as such, it suggests an evaluation of how artwork is viewed; its function, its value, and the language we use to engage with it.

Bringing together a wide range of practices, each artist investigates both the limits of set material conditions and ways of seeing by exploring physical mechanics, preconceptions of form and abstraction, and the relationship between the object and how it is perceived.

To view the Dream Machine:

With eyes closed
Unique to each viewer, the experience cannot be visually documented or reproduced. It expands the gap between seeing and deciphering what is seen. The Machine produces a flickering light frequency akin to alpha waves stimulating the brain’s occipital lobe, causing a waking dream, psychedelic experience with the mind’s eye view. The participant is called to a reinvigorated conversation of what, and how, one sees.

With eyes open
The viewer is not engaged in the occipital lobe state which allows for a shared experience and for critical observation of the work. Here, the flicker effect producing the mind’s eye view no longer holds sway. At distance, the sculpture becomes a rotating projector transforming the room with perpetual movement of shapes of light; the object itself is a center-piece, evocative of a silent bonfire. Like witnessing a performance, silent film, or sculpture, a familiarity is maintained between the viewer and work.

This introduction of a new way of viewing, as simple as it may be, presents a dramatic shift in what may be the task set ahead of the artist. This is not to proclaim that new ways of viewing are now criteria for successful work but rather Gysin’s exemplar reminds us, thankfully, that no part of the art making process is fixed—calling to question the status quo of function, inspiration, and execution—and creating a productive artistic dilemma inviting a more engagedand rigorous exploration of ideas.

For 2013, RANA ROJO unveils their new swim/resort collection LA LUCHA within the gorgeous setting of the Miami Beach Botanical Garden. LA LUCHA 2013 resort collection is largely inspired by Lucha Libre — the now global, masked wrestling phenomenon first popularized in Mexico in the 1940s. Ash Rana and Damian Rojo translate this cultural phenomenon into a collection that shares the uninhibited use of color and ingenious appliqué work into distinct wearable garments for the modern woman. Their broad range of swimsuits and cover-ups will take you from day to night, from practical elegance to calculate extravagance. Custom prints for LA LUCHA fearlessly weave indigenous textile patterns, free-hand drawings, collage and punk ‘zine’ aesthetic into a cultural quilt. LA LUCHA embodies a celebration of life where you choose masks to bring forth inner spirit and embody your personal mythology.

Beloved Burger, Hot Dog and Frozen Custard Stand Opens Second Miami Location

Danny Meyer’s Union Square Hospitality Group (USHG) is excited to bring its second Shake Shack to the Sunshine State. The new Coral Gables Shake Shack is just a burger’s throw from the University of Miami.

Born in New York City in 2004, Shake Shack opened its first Miami location in June 2010 at 1111 Lincoln Road in South Beach and quickly became a favorite among both locals and tourists, receiving a three-star review in the Miami Herald. A vibrant community gathering spot, Shake Shack is a modern day “roadside” burger stand known for its delicious burgers, flat-top dogs, frozen custard, beer, wine and more.

The new Coral Gables location is constructed with recycled and sustainable materials, wherever possible. It features tabletops sourced from reclaimed bowling alley lanes handcrafted in Brooklyn, NY, and wooden counter seating made from reclaimed river cypress. In addition, energy-efficient kitchen equipment and LED lighting are employed throughout the space.

“We were drawn to the charm of Coral Gables and its deep sense of community,” said Randy Garutti, Shake Shack CEO. “We are also thrilled to be located so close to the University of Miami. We hope this Shack will be a fun and lively experience that will be enjoyed by Gables locals and students alike.”

The Coral Gables menu includes all the Shake Shack classics, as well as a scrumptious new burger that rolled out at other locations over the past month. The SmokeShackâ„¢ is a cheeseburger topped with Niman Ranch all-natural applewood smoked bacon, chopped cherry pepper and ShackSauce.

As is the case with all Shake Shacks, the frozen custard “concrete” selections were created specifically for the Coral Gables Shack, with names that are a playful nod to the surrounding community. ‘Canes fans can rally their next ice cream craving around The “U” Malt (chocolate custard, fudge sauce, chocolate truffle cookie dough and malt). Other Gables-specific concretes include the Coral Crisp (vanilla custard, peanut butter sauce, marshmallow sauce, Valrhona chocolate pearls and crispy crunchies), and the Cookie Cubana (vanilla custard, Cuban-style sugar cookie, salted caramel sauce and banana). In addition, the menu includes a local favorite that debuted at the South Beach Shack, the Key Lime Pie Oh My (vanilla custard blended with a slice of key lime pie from The Sugar Monkey).

As part of its community outreach efforts and mission to “Stand for Something Good,” the Coral Gables Shack is partnering with the Miami Children’s Hospital Foundation – a long-standing relationship that first began with the South Beach Shake Shack. Located in close proximity to the Coral Gables Shack, 5% of sales from the Coral Crisp concrete will benefit the hospital. Plus, Shake Shack staff will visit the hospital on a monthly basis for fun-filled frozen custard socials with patients.

“Playing Jasmine in this production of Aladdin is a childhood dream come true. Growing up, Jasmine was always my favorite princess and now I get the chance to be her. This is any young girl’s wish and I am honored to bring this character to life in this production by The Roxy Theatre Group,” said Michelle Negrin, 19 yrs. old, attends Miami Dade College.

“The Roxy Theatre Group’s productions which I have seen, are always Broadway material. I was blessed to play the role of “Tony” when The Roxy Theatre Group presented the musical West Side Story three years ago and am excited to be part of this show. It is a great honor to have the opportunity to once again work under the direction of this incredible performing arts organization,” said Kevin Youngman, 19 yrs. old.

With over 1,000 attendees annually, including media outlets, bloggers, designers, buyers, and fashion elite, this invite-only evening has become the most buzzed about party during Swim Week. SALON ALLURE’S unparalleled line-up featuring 56 of the world’s most eminent swim and resort wear brands will be brought together in one high energy, high fashion runway show. Of the designers included, 6 are making their debut at Swim Week and in some cases, their debut in the U.S. Market.

Guests of the Opening Night Party will enjoy complimentary beverages by GREY GOOSE Vodka, Bacardi, and ZICO Coconut Water, including specially crafted cocktails. GREY GOOSE’s expert mixologists will be making their rounds to serve party guests refreshing cocktails such as the GREY GOOSE L’Orange South Beach Punch, the Chocolate ZICOTini, and the ZICOJito from ZICO Coconut Water.

Bringing a new element to the event this year is GUESS Eyewear, with superstar DJ’s The Hood Internet spinning the GUESS Eyewear Shades of Summer playlist to set the party mood. The playlist includes exclusive tracks from groups such as The Hood Internet, The Knocks, Vacationer, Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs, and Penguin Prison, among others.

“We’re thrilled to present this year’s opening party,” says Rick Fatzinger, co-founder of SALON ALLURE. “We have the best lines in swim and resort fashion backed by the hottest music of the summer, interesting cocktails, and of course a few surprises.”

SALON ALLURE is a boutique lifestyle show that takes place July 21-24 with events at two locations: W South Beach Hotel & Residences and the adjacent Perry South Beach. The luxury-focused show will feature 72 swim wear, resort, and accessories brands through an array of events and creative platforms.

Maggie May Swimwear at Salon Allure 7/21-24/12

Maggie May Swimwear @ Salon Allure
Miami, July 21-24
Salon Allure at the W Hotel South Beach
2201 Collins Ave, room 528.
Miami Beach, FL 33139

See Maggie May Brasilia 2013

Salon Allure, a luxury resort, swim, and accessories tradeshow will be at Miami’s exclusive W Hotel July 21-24. Among the exhibitors is Maggie May Swimwear, a high-end knit swimwear company that was recently featured in the 2012 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition. Buyers will be hard-pressed to come across something more unique and fashion-forward as the knitted Maggie May bikini.

From SI’s Swimsuit Edition to Salon Allure, Maggie May Swimwear is bringing back the knitted bikini of the 60’s. But this is not your mother’s knitted bikini!

With the Maggie May Brasilia 2013 bikini line, Maggie has reinvented and redesigned the look and the construction of knitted swimwear. She creates her bikinis using an exclusive patent-pending process that allows for an always perfect fit and strong construction. Unlike flimsy crocheted bikinis, a Maggie May bikini will not lose its shape in or out of the water, nor fall apart because of the fragile crochet technique.

A Maggie May bikini is knitted from the finest all natural yarns and trims in a profusion of bright colors, a tribute to the Brasilian vibe, hugging the curves of a woman’s body with vibrant, soft natural knitted yarns.

“It’s all about making a girl look great in a bikini,” said Maggie. “The most important thing about my bikinis is that they are easy to fit because they are actually knitted which gives with your curves, without squeezing them. But you have to make sure you tie them correctly, it’s all in how you tie a Maggie May bikini that gives that great fit.”

The Legendary JC’s (commonly The Joint Chiefs) started flooring Central Florida crowds with their brand of soulful rocking blues in 2000. With a lineup consisting of top central Florida musicians, part of the magic of the shows is never knowing who is going to show up.

“If you’ve missed the Legendary J.C.’s any one of the past three years that they’ve torn the house down at Bragg Jam, then you couldn’t have any idea what you’re missing. The energy of James Brown, the soul of Otis Redding, the chops of Little Richard. If you can sit on the sidelines at this show, then you honestly should just jump off a bridge.”

These veterans of the music business are still at the height of their popularity. Kiss is the juggernaut of them all, with 3,000 licensed merchandise products, including the Kiss golf course in Las Vegas and a new album. KISS has broken box office records set by The Beatles and Elvis. Mötley Crüe is the first rock band in history to have just completed an epic sold-out Las Vegas residency at The Joint at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino. The band is best known for continuing to reinvent not only their live show (with mind blowing elements such as Tommy Lee’s 360 drum roller coaster) and music (brand new song due out this spring), but remain on the cutting edge via social media interaction. Mötley Crüe’s New York Times bestselling book The Dirt is currently being adapted into a major motion picture. Last month, the band was featured in one of the highest rated Super Bowl ads of all time for the KIA Optima.

While you are waiting for The Tour to arrive in SFL, be sure to check out the new Mötley Crüe single “Sex” dropping on July 17th. According to Blabbermouth, the song will debut on SiriusXM on Friday, July 13. “Sex” is the first release from Mötley Crüe since “Saints of Los Angeles” in 2008. The band wrote “Sex” during their Las Vegas residency earlier this year and it was recorded in The Atrium, Tommy Lee’s studio in Calabasas, California.

Culture Clash Art + Fashion + Performance 7/21/12

Opening Reception: Saturday, July 21th, 7-11 pm

Facebook Event

Culture Clash: Artists transform cultural expectations with unexpected art
Admission: Free & Open to the Public

Ask anyone who knows Niki Lopez and the first word they use to describe her is “community”. A founding member of the 1310 Gallery in Downtown Fort Lauderdale, her studio is a meeting place for church pastors, youth workers, LGBT activists, artists, entrepreneurs, singers, poets, and folks just looking to have a good time. Saturday, July 21, she brings all those interests together in “Culture Clash”, the 4th show she has curated at 1310 Gallery.

“Culture Clash gives us a platform to bring diverse groups together and cultivate positive energy,” says Lopez. “I have a different way of approaching art shows and pick art that reflects the vibrancy and energetic aesthetics not always seen in galleries.”

Lopez (Artist & Designer) is also known for exploring the concept of “alien” in her work. To her, alien isn’t just about the cosmos. “We’re all aliens in some way, not just feeling out of place in this new economy, but being transplanted in new surroundings and having new frames of mind. At our root, our ancient knowledge is alien to us, and it’s my job to help people rediscover it.”

Her co-curator, Asanyah Davidson, creative director of the apparel company Circa24 LLC, found a synergy with Lopez’s mission. Her fashion line is described as fierce sophistication, and she’ll reveal her new Grace Jones-inspired evening line.

Davidson also teaches fashion design, and encourages her students to be leaders in the field. “Fashion is a vehicle to communicate culture and change a person’s perspective about themselves,” says Davidson. “Sometimes expressing culture leaves people feeling alien from the collective, but being apart also means standing out.”

Culture Clash explores how modern influences affect our perspective of unexplored truths and ancient tradition. Art, fashion and aliens. What else do you need?

Visual Artists include: Niki Lopez, Andrew Ackermen, Greg Dubois, Greg Gibs, Micheal Anthony Clark, Yudelka Tavera, Kareem Piper, and Detourbutterfly.

Opening night performances include: Fashion show by Adjanie and Circa 24; music by DJ Onestar and DJ Lerue; and live performance by Atlanta’s Profound Breadth (who has opened for artists including Flo Rida, B.o.B., Ludacris, New Boyz, Gorilla Zoe, and Bubba Sparxxx.) and Dana DellaCamera of Nakedown

Edible delights sponsored by Raw Fusion Catering, Divine Cupcakery and Meatless Lasagna

Niki Lopez is a multi-disciplinary visual artist, graphic designer, and art teacher. Her often ‘other-worldly’ art has been featured in local and national publications, as well as exhibited across South Florida. She is an Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale Alumni, member of the Broward Arts Guild, and Artspace’s Sailboat Bend Artists Lofts.

Asanyah Davidson is a Fashion Designer born in Clarendon, Jamaica, is owner of Circa24 LLC. as well as Adjunct professor at Ai Miami (Fashion Dept) and Broward College (Continuing Education Dept). Circa24 promises the convergence of simplicity, lush-sophistication and feminine lines that deliver distinction and command attention.

Sat, July 28th, 2012 2PM- 5pm – Community outreach workshop
Sun, July 29th, 2012 3PM- 6pm – Tea & Fashion Panel and Clothing Swap
August 4th, 2012 7pm-11pm – Dr. Sketchy South Florida
Closing – August 11th, 2012 7pm-11pm

1310 Gallery is an artist-run collective that offers over 2400 square feet of exhibition space split into 3 levels, and housed within ArtSpace’s live/work facility, Sailboat Bend Artist Lofts. 1310 Gallery rotates art exhibitions monthly and also hosts performances and workshops.

Marlow Rosado at Briza On The Bay 7/13/12

KCC Productions Presents Marlow Rosado y la Riqueña With Special Guest Tito Puente, Jr.
Briza On The Bay
Doubletree Grand Hotel
1717 N. Bayshore Drive
Miami

For more information contact Briza at (786) 350-2220 or email: briza@brizaonthebay.com
Admission is $10. Ladies get one drink and free admission before 11.

Enjoy a night of hot salsa by one of Miami’s best musicians at one of the city’s most charming nightspots, Briza on the Bay. The backdrop is a panoramic view of the beautiful marina. Looking for an upscale touch? This is the place. With top of the line sound and AV, and signature drinks such as the Sea Briza, Marlow Rosado and his band, “La Riqueña,” with special guest Tito Puente, Jr., will be playing at the venue in the Doubletree Grand Hotel downtown, from 10 PM to 2 AM on Friday, July 13.

From salsa to rock, from merengue to hip-hop, from bachata to reggaeton, producer / composer / pianist Marlow Rosado has had his musical hand in all of it. A native of Puerto Rico, he is a salsero at heart, but has successfully written, played and produced hits in a variety of musical styles for some of the most renowned artists in Latin music. He has played and worked with a diverse repertoire of artists including Celia Cruz, the unforgettable Tejana signer Selena, Larry Harlow, Tommy Olivencia, Marc Anthony, Ricardo Montaner, Olga Tañón and Desmond Child, among others. Recently, he arranged and directed the horns sessions for Ricky Martin’s new production. He is continually sought out by Latin Artists for his musical arrangement skills, his aggressive montunos on the piano, as well as his ability to direct orchestras for artists such as the late Salsa legend Celia Cruz, Tito Puente, Jr., Tito Nieves, and many others. It is not uncommon to see Marlow’s name on CD liner notes, whether it is as a pianist, producer, songwriter or musical director.

Now, with the birth of Marlow Rosado y La Riqueña, the man behind the music takes to the stage himself, with the project closest to his heart and years in the making, his new CD, “Retro”, taking some of the strongest songs from the 1970’s, maintaining the essentials of the originals, but metamorphosing them in Marlow’s 21st-century conception until they become entirely his own.

The food insecurity rate in South Florida is 16.9 percent. Recently, Feeding South Florida’s agencies are reporting a 39 percent increase in the demand for food services, due to the current economic climate.

misaelsoto.com/Beach-Towel

Misael Soto takes his giant Beach Towel on a tour of the East Coast, kicking-off on Miami Beach, Saturday, July 28th. Anyone and everyone is welcome to occupy and enjoy the towel which will be there for most of the day. Bring food and drinks, your favorite beach games, kites, instruments, or anything else you like.

Misael hopes to subvert the way beach-goers claim their temporary real estate on the beach. Having it on Memorial Day, the event intends to indict and subvert American excess. Misael places the towel in one of the busiest beaches at one of the busiest times, in an attempt to not only comment on how we chose to share the wealth (or not), but to also provide a space where he creates the opportunity for communal transcendence above the conditioning of capitalism.

Things Beyond Our Control- Curated by Andrew Reed Opening Reception
Saturday July 14, 2012, 7-9pm
Fredric Snitzer Gallery
2247 NW 1st Place
Miami, FL 33127

Fredric Snitzer Gallery is pleased to announce the opening of Things Beyond Our Control, a group exhibition curated by Andrew Reed running from July 14 – August 13, 2012. This exhibition will open with a reception at the gallery on Saturday, July 14, 2012 from 7-9pm.

Things Beyond Our Control is a group exhibition featuring the work of 18 artists that seeks to address questions of agency, structure and the ability of art, specifically pictorial art, to come into contact with the conditions of its own production. The “beyond” has been, at different moments, a Platonic Ideal, a hallucinatory dreamworld, a utopian vision. But in this specific historical moment, the works in the show raise a slightly darker prospect – that what is beyond our control is specifically our ability to imagine, in a compelling way, any sort of “beyond” at all.

The artworks on display, are things – a term chosen to site the works in the realm of social relations rather than idealist speculation – whose purposiveness has run wild. The loss of a “beyond” forecloses on the spatial and temporal possibility of anything other than “now” and aligns processes of meaning production with an austere perspective – one whose reproducibility is its own raison d’être and main criteria for judgment.

The exhibition will feature the following artists: Dan Attoe, Hernan Bas, Naomi Fisher, Keith Haring, Rashid Johnson, Anton Kannemeyer, Marilyn Minter, Jonathan Meese, Richard Mosse, Man Ray, Lucas Samaras, Malick Sidibe, David Shrigley, Hank Willis Thomas, Michael Vasquez, Carlos Vega, Kara Walker, and Chen Wei.

Andrew Reed (born 1995) is a curator and collector who lives and works in Miami, FL.
Fredric Snitzer Gallery is open from Tuesday through Saturday, 10 am to 5 pm. For more information and images regarding this exhibition, please contact 305.448.8976 or info@snitzer.com. Additionally, please visit us at www.snitzer.com.

This is a show for real art collectors and lovers; those interested in learning more and purchasing work from artists based in south Florida. While there are many amazing fine contemporary artists practicing in south Florida, many collectors do not realize it. Not because of any lack on their part, but because of a lack of opportunities. The Life Is Art Summer Show and Celebration connects south Florida art lovers with south Florida artists.

The Fort Lauderdale Gay & Lesbian Film Festival (FLGLFF) is continuing its monthly movie series “GLOW” (Gays & Lesbians on Wednesdays) by presenting “My Best Day,” written and directed by Erin Greenwell.

After making its world premiere at Sundance earlier this year, “My Best Day” comes to Fort Lauderdale with its ensemble cast of small town Midwestern misfits. Karen works as a refrigerator repair dispatcher who enlists the help of her janitor friend Meagan when a repair call comes in from a man who just might be the father Karen never knew. The duo strike out to the trailer park on the repair call where they come across Karen’s a half-sister who is addicted to betting … a half-brother tortured by grade school bullies … a sketchy but charming buddy “just sleeping on the couch” … and a potential lover in jail. Meanwhile, Meagan must decide between the stability of her longtime girlfriend or the thrill of a new love.

Just a typical day for a typically dysfunctional family in typically bizarre small town Americana.

Yolanda Adams Brings Inspirational Vision to Hard Rock Live

Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino
1 Seminole Way
Hollywood, FL 33026

Gospel’s Yolanda Adams will bring her inspirational vision to Hard Rock Live at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino

Since her 1988 debut, the acclaimed and uplifting Just As I Am, Yolanda Adams has been wowing gospel audiences all over the world. In 2009, Billboard magazine named her the #1 Gospel Artist of the last decade.

The eldest of six siblings, her pioneering spirit and boundless optimism soon became her trademark. It was while she served as a lead singer with the Southeast Inspirational Choir that Yolanda caught the eye of composer/producer Thomas Whitfield who produced her first album, Just As I Am for Sound of Gospel Records. Soon, she was hailed as the most versatile contemporary gospel singer since Aretha Franklin.

Her follow-up albums, 1991’s Through the Storm and 1993’s Save the World won several Stellar awards, Gospel’s highest accolade. More Than A Melody (1995) propelled her into the world of R&B Gospel, with hit singles such as “Gotta Have Love,” and “Open Arms.” The disc won a Soul Train Lady of Soul award, earned her a Grammy nomination, and unforgettable live performance spot on the 1996 Soul Train Music Awards telecast. Yolanda…Live in Washington, snagged her yet another Stellar award and another Grammy nomination.

Other releases include “Mountain High…Valley Low,” “The Experience,” “Believe,” and “Day by Day.” Adams’ most recent release is “Becoming.”

The singer, whose love of children’s causes is almost as legendary as her singing, eagerly embraces the social responsibility that comes with the blessings of success. She has served as a spokesperson for the FILA Corporation’s Operation Rebound program which addresses the concerns of inner city school children.

The gospel great is also host of her namesake The Yolanda Adams Morning Show, the largest nationally syndicated inspirational morning show in the country that airs weekdays from 6-10 a.m. EST.

Tickets are $59, $49, $39 and $29* all seats are reserved and available at all Ticketmaster outlets online at www.ticketmaster.com or charge by phone: 1-800-745-3000. Doors open one-hour prior to show start time. *Additional fees may apply

Number of Designers Showing at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Swim Reaches All-Time High

With an overwhelming number of designers interested in presenting at the world’s largest Swim industry event, more collections and a second group show are added to jam-packed lineup

Highly regarded as the go-to event for swimwear designers to debut their latest collections, and for buyers and editors to plan their upcoming assortments and stories, Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Swim will see over 30 international designers. IMG Fashion has responded to increasing interest in the Event by adding more designers to the schedule along with a second group runway show.

Monday, July 23rd will see two multi-line shows of top swimwear designers in the Cabaña Grande at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Swim. Aguaclara and Aquarella Swimwear will once again be returning to the runway, alongside Cote D’Or Swimwear and Sauvage who will be debuting their 2013 collections in the first group show at 8:00pm. Later that evening, the much anticipated second group runway show will feature rising talent Anna Kosturova, Dorit, Keva | J and Naïla.

“The amount of interest in the event continues to grow each season. With only so many time slots available, group shows are an incredibly efficient platform for designers to present at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Swim and showcase their collections in front of a global audience of industry professionals” says Christina Neault, Executive Producer, IMG Fashion. “For designers, group shows offer turn-key production and public relations elements. For buyers and media in attendance, it allows them to see three or four designers within one show.”

Lisa Burke, designer of Lisa Blue, this season’s opening show stated, “When I started Lisa Blue in 2008 it was sheer determination, great passion and long hours of hard work that lead to the wonderful opportunity to partake in a group show at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Swim. The overwhelming success and feedback from that show had an immense impact on the Lisa Blue brand, opening doors for us in the US and Europe, and even furthered our recognition back home in Australia. Four years later, we are honored to be featured as the designer kicking off the event and look forward to delighting the audience and continuing to spread our heartfelt brand message: the importance of saving the whales and making a difference in our planet.”

Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Swim takes place at The Raleigh from July 19-23, 2012. The five days of exclusive invitation-only shows, presentations and special events will showcase the following designers: Lisa Blue, Éclairée, Agua Bendita, Poko Pano, Dolores Cortés, Vitamin A By Amahlia Stevens, Nicolita, Kooey Australia, Caffé Swimwear, Aqua Di Lara, Mara Hoffman Swim, Xtra Life Lycra® Brand, Cia.Marítima, Bcbg Swimwear, Gottex, Red Carter, L*Space By Monica Wise, White Sands Australia, Luli Fama, Suboo, Rose By Vanessa Jean, Wildfox Swim, Ank By Mirla Sabino, Aguaclara, Aquarella Swimwear, Cote D’or Swimwear, Sauvage, A.Z Araujo, Anna Kosturova, Dorit, Keva | J And Naïla.

Yo Space
294 NE 62nd St
Miami, FL 33138
Facebook Evite

After all the positive feedback from last month’s Average Joe Sale, from visitors and artists alike, you know there’s no way it wasn’t making a comeback.

Let’s face it, most of us can’t hang with the De La Cruz’s and Rubells of the world. We’re resigned to putting up our kids’ work on the fridge or buying some not-horrible mass produced Target art to decorate our homes.

NO MORE!

Come out to Yo Space and aside from having a good time playing ping pong on our custom table, smoking hookah, and/or hobnobbing, check out some great works by local artists.

We’ll have a fresh batch of artists in the house along with our Resident Artists, selling everything from original works, to limited edition prints, and merchandise (Apparel, accessories, and more). The best part? We’re capping the selling price at $250 per item. You can walk away with an original piece of art to brighten up your place or to offer as an amazing unique gift for less than the price of an iPod.
(Disclaimer: Resident Artists may have more expensive work in their studios)

So stop on by, get to know some talented people, and take a crack at becoming the King of Pong.

Wynwood Brewing Company is going to be providing some effervescent refreshments!

Joining us this time will be the South Florida Music Obsessed team bringing some bands along with them to keep the musical ambiance groovin’

Los Chamos Food Truck will be on site with Arepas, Empanadas and more Venezuelan goodness; if you were here last time you know it hits the spot on a Sunday.
Also this time around theHipPOPs handcrafted gelato bars truck will also be outside serving up delicious gelato and sorbets on a stick to cool you down!!

Check out the great coverage from last month by Anthony Jackson and Mikey Dee (along with a couple other sites) on Facebook.
