Eventbrite
Cost: Free

Join us at The CAMP Gallery and on Instagram (@thecampgallery) this Saturday, April 5, from 2–4 PM for the closing of our March Exhibitions Asking for a Friend and Between Stillness & Growth, featuring an Artist Talk at 3 PM with exhibiting artist Silvana Soriano.

Born and raised in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (b. 1961), Silvana Soriano is a visual artist currently based in Miami, Florida. Soriano has participated in numerous solo and group exhibitions in Brazil, Spain, France, USA and Cuba since 1984, including having her work featured at Pinta Miami Art Fair. She has also illustrated several books, spanning from children’s literature to poetry. Soriano graduated with a BFA in Art History and Art Education from Bennett University. She furthered her studies at the esteemed School of Visual Arts, in Brazil. Soriano has been an educator for over two decades, at public schools, non-profits, and universities.

Silvana Soriano’s works in Asking for a Friend draws deep inspiration from the writings of Brazilian author Clarice Lispector, whose exploration of women’s inner lives and existential struggles resonates throughout Soriano’s art. The four large collages on canvas and three smaller drypoint and china ink works reflect themes of intimacy, autonomy, and vulnerability, central to Lispector’s literary universe. Using a layered, textural approach, Soriano brings these literary figures to life, weaving together elements of their narratives into striking visual compositions.

Just as Lispector’s characters grapple with self-discovery and emotional depth, Soriano’s pieces delve into the personal, often hidden, experiences of women navigating their identities. Together, these works create a visual dialogue about resilience, community, and the shared human experience of seeking guidance, echoing the themes of emotional complexity and reflection found in the exhibition.

Florida continues to own a devastating statistic when it comes to childhood drownings. The Sunshine State has the highest rate of drowning in the nation for those under 18 years old, more than double the next closest states of Texas and Arizona.

To counter those statistics, the YMCA of South Florida, which has one of the most comprehensive water safety and drowning prevention programs, highlights the importance of swim lessons with its annual “Swim for Jenny,” a week-long initiative providing free swim lessons to individuals of all ages throughout South Florida, with the goal of reducing the risk of drowning and promoting a culture of aquatic safety in local communities.

Generously underwritten by Nicklaus Children’s Health System, this year’s Swim for Jenny is set for March 24-28 at the following YMCA locations:

• L.A. Lee YMCA/Mizell Community Center – 1409 NW 6th St, Fort Lauderdale
• Greater Hollywood YMCA Family Center – 3161 Taft Street, Hollywood
• Hallandale Beach YMCA Family Center – 501 SE 1 Avenue, Hallandale Beach
• Pembroke Pines YMCA Family Center – 501 SW 172 Avenue, Pembroke Pines
• Weston YMCA Family Center – 20201 Saddle Club Rd, Weston

Launched in 2013, “Swim for Jenny” is named after a young girl who drowned two years prior because she couldn’t swim. Since the initiative was implemented, more than 25,000 people have taken part, and more than 100,000 swim lessons have been provided.

Miami-Dade and Broward counties lead the nation in child drownings, and last year alone, 101 child fatal drownings were reported in Florida. For every child who dies from drowning, another seven receive emergency department care for nonfatal submersion injuries.

To register for free swim lessons through “Swim for Jenny”, visit ymcasouthflorida.org/swim-for-jenny or call 954-334-9622.

Cost: $35

Drunk driving deaths have increased by 31% over the past decade with someone being killed or injured in a drunk driving crash every 78 seconds. Two out of three people will be impacted by drunk driving in their lifetime. Drunk driving is a 100 percent preventable crime, and Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD)’s goal is to end impaired driving.

In the ongoing fight against drunk driving and drugged driving, MADD Southeast Florida will host the 14th Annual UKG & Salah Foundation Walk Like MADD & MADD Dash Fort Lauderdale 5K presented by the Sheriff’s Foundation of Broward County on Sunday, April 27. Thousands of walkers, runners, strollers, wheelchair athletes, and supporters of all ages will come together in downtown Fort Lauderdale to raise awareness and funds to end impaired driving for good. The in-person race will start near Huizenga Plaza at 7:30 a.m., or supporters can also participate in a virtual option.

Festivities will include children’s activities, an awards ceremony, live musical performances, and vendor/educational booths. The event will be attended by dignitaries including Walk Like MADD Fort Lauderdale Founder and Honorary Chairperson Heather Geronemus; Honorary Chairperson Colonel Nichole Anderson, Undersheriff of Broward Sheriff’s Office; Broward County Sheriff Gregory Tony; Sgt. Ryan Clifton from Broward Sheriff’s Office; Sgt. Trevor Thomas from Fort Lauderdale Police Department’s DUI Unit; and Lt. Indiana Miranda from Florida Highway Patrol.

Walk Like MADD & MADD Dash Fort Lauderdale 5K is a community-driven 5K that raises awareness about drunk and drugged driving and underage drinking while uniting community members around MADD’s mission. Since it was established in 2011, Walk Like MADD & MADD Dash Fort Lauderdale 5K has raised nearly $4 million that stays in the South Florida community to save lives and support victims of drunk driving, making it the most successful grassroots fundraiser in the history of MADD. Every dollar donated remains in South Florida to provide victim services and prevention education at no cost.

MADD is committed to leading prevention efforts with young adults, collaborating with law enforcement to keep roads safe from impaired drivers, as well as advocating for stricter sentencing and stronger laws, including the HALT Act that mandates anti-drunk driving technology in every new car. MADD continues to provide support services to victims and survivors of impaired driving at no charge through victim services specialists and the 24-Hour Victim Help Line.

“Every day, 37 lives are needlessly cut short in drunk driving crashes, leaving behind shattered families and communities. This heartbreaking, 100 percent preventable crime changes lives forever—and it’s why we must stand together, stronger than ever, to raise awareness and fight for change,” said Heather Geronemus, past chairwoman of the MADD National Board of Directors. “Walk Like MADD & MADD Dash Fort Lauderdale 5K is more than just an event—it’s a movement that saves lives and supports victims right here in South Florida. This impactful day of hope and action wouldn’t be possible without the unwavering support of our attendees, board members, sponsors, and donors, who share the commitment to end impaired driving once and for all.” Geronemus’ late father, Dr. Robert Perry Geronemus was struck and killed by a drunk driver in 2009.

Event sponsors include Signature Sponsors UKG and Salah Foundation; Presenting Sponsor Sheriff’s Foundation of Broward County; Road Guardian Sponsor Craig Zinn Automotive Group; Corporate Champion Sponsors Broward County Sheriff’s Office, Durée & Company, Florida Highway Patrol, Fort Lauderdale Police Department, and Memorial Healthcare System; Spotlight Sponsors Bank of America, BBX Capital and Westway Towing; and MADD Milestone Sponsor Warren Henry Automotive Group.

Tennessee Williams Theatre
5901 College Rd,
Key West, Florida, 33040
Website
Cost: Tickets for Candide are on sale now beginning at $45.

Glitter and be gay! South Florida Symphony Orchestra (SFSO) is proud to open its 27th Key West Icons & Rebels Masterworks season with its premiere of Leonard Bernstein’s satirical masterpiece Candide! The concert will take place on Sunday, January 19, at 7:30 p.m., at the Tennessee Williams Theatre at The College of the Florida Keys (5901 College Road).

Led by SFSO’s award-winning music director and multi-generation Key West Conch native Sebrina María Alfonso, this semi-staged concert version of Candide follows in the manner of Lonny Price’s 2004 production for the New York Philharmonic, made popular through the PBS series “Great Performances.” Bernstein’s acclaimed masterpiece is played out with the orchestra, minimal sets and costumes, a dynamic cast of actor-vocalists featuring David Walton (Candide); Chelsea Lehnea (Cunegonde); Jason Zacher (Dr. Pangloss/Voltaire); Alissa Anderson (The Old Lady), Lovell Rose (Maximilian), and the South Florida Symphony Chorus performing all together on stage. Dan Wallace Miller provides stage direction.

Experience Candide’s riotous journey as he embarks on a whirlwind adventure teeming with humor, unexpected twists, and profound philosophical reflections. Bernstein’s iconic music, adapted from Voltaire’s famed Enlightenment-era novella, sets the backdrop for an unforgettable evening filled with laughter and existential musings. An equal opportunity offender, Candide spares no one. Everything and everyone is fair game in this irreverent satire.

From the over-the-top heights of Cunegonde’s “Glitter and Be Gay” and the rarely heard comedic duet “We Are Women” to the stirring depths of Candide’s introspective ponderings, audiences will enjoy a provocative perspective on life’s absurdities and the enduring pursuit of optimism.

Now in its 27th season, SFSO invites Key West audiences to a tantalizing masterworks season featuring a Symphony premiere of J. Strauss, II’s The Blue Danube, R. Strauss’ Four Last Songs and Berlioz’ King Lear Overture on February 14, and Mozart’s enigmatic Requiem with special guest vocalists and the South Florida Symphony Chorus on March 15.

From sold-out masterworks performances to accompanying today’s musicians such as Natalie Merchant and performing modern musical scores, South Florida’s largest symphonic orchestra is continuing its journey of excellence inspiring audiences of all ages and musical genres. This season’s popular collaborations included performances of ARRIVAL From Sweden: The Music of ABBA and Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas, featuring the iconic film screened live with audio and musical accompaniment.

Tickets for Candide are on sale now beginning at $45. Season subscriptions are on sale, for the Key West Season at the Tennessee Williams Theatre. Tickets may be purchased by visiting southfloridasymphony.org or by calling (305) 295-7676. Subscribers receive a 20% discount off single ticket prices and have access to the best seats in the house. Three-concert packages in Key West start at $92; Flexible ticket packages are also available.

The 2024 AOT will feature six main exhibitions, each focusing on a different aspect of Black aliveness:

In Praise of Blues: (Art and Recreation Center), Edouard Duval Carrier, curated by Dr. Adrienne Von Lates

Jamaica on My Mind: Aliveness and Livity (Pavilion), curated by Professor Phillip Thomas, presents Jamaican artists from home and abroad who explores the interconnections of Aliveness to Livity as a moment of accomplishment, an instant in which what has matured in the alchemical athanor metamorphoses into perfection or, rather, an epiphany or an event—an accomplishment.

Embodiments of Aliveness: The Sculpture of Siriki Ky (Art and Recreation Center), curated by Dr. El Hadji Malick Ndiaye, explores Black resilience and identity in Ky’s powerful bronze sculptures.

Under the Bridge, Beyond the Beach, Above the Muck (The Train Station), Snapshots of the Ten North’s collections, this exhibition articulates the Group’s approach to collection, embodying and enacting black memory principles. It serves as a locus of memory, a landmark around which past events structure present memory.

And Is: The Black Florida Project (The Hurt Building), curated by Melissa Hunter “And Is” presents the photography of Johanne Rahman, focusing on the complex and evolving landscapes of Black communities across Florida.

Site Memory: The Sculpture Garden (VFW Garden), led by landscape architect James Brazil. The former Veterans of Foreign Wars site becomes a space through which past and present experiences fuse to commemorates Black history through sculptures and installations inspired by banned African American literature.

Tales of Opa-Locka: A Heritage Journey (Historic Train Station) curated by Alex Van Mecl, Founder, Opa-locka Preservation Association. This inaugural historical experience presents an in-depth exploration of the city’s near-century-long history and cultural heritage, offering visitors a carefully curated journey through Opa-locka’s unique architectural and social legacy.

Enjoy brunch and a captivating book discussion at the annual Bagels and Books with Greta Brewer. Brewer, a former board member and past vice-president of education of NEXT GENERATIONS, will delve into “The Little Liar” by Mitch Albom, a New York Times bestseller about the intertwined lives of three young Holocaust survivors. Deceptively simple, this gem of a book is both timely and meaningful today. Through his unique approach to telling this unusual Holocaust story, Albom has written an important and emotional book that should be required reading at a time when many of us are wondering how evil continues to take root and permeate society. The examination of truth, deceit and atonement is powerful at any time, but even more critical now.
This event is part of the 2024-2025 NEXT GENERATIONS Showcase of Events hosted by MorseLife NEXT GENERATIONS. Registration is required and seating is limited. Please purchase tickets by January 1, 2025.
For the last 15 years, Brewer’s book and film discussions have consistently offered a blend of enlightenment and entertainment to participants. She holds an undergraduate degree in French and a graduate degree in Comparative Literature. In her endeavors, Brewer aims to preserve the voices of the Survivors and uphold the commitment to “Never Forget.”

An Evening with Jesse Blanco 10/28/24

Books & Books
265 Aragon Ave,
Coral Gables, Florida, 33134
RSVP / Register
Cost: FREE

Popular author and food writer Jesse Blanco, the founder of Eat It and Like It and Eat It Florida, will speak at the Books & Books flagship location in Coral Gables, Fla., on Monday, Oct. 28 at 7 p.m. as part of “An Evening With Jesse Blanco.” This event is free and open to the public. RSVPs are recommended and are available by visiting booksandbooks.com.

A full-time food writer with an insatiable desire to travel, eat and explore, Blanco is the acclaimed author of Savannah Food Crawls and Charleston Food Crawls. His 24-year career in TV news – coupled with his large Cuban family’s influence in Miami – has given him the ability to connect with viewers and readers through food.

Blanco grew up in Coconut Grove, graduated from Christopher Columbus High School in 1987 and earned a B.A. in Political Science from the University of Central Florida in 1994 before launching a successful 24-year career as a television news anchor, reporter and sportscaster. Over the years, he has covered a wide range of news stories in Nashville, Tenn.; El Paso, Tex.; and Savannah, Ga., where he currently resides with his wife, Sheila.

In 2010, Blanco launched a popular blog – and later an award-winning television show – called Eat It and Like It, which was originally dedicated to exploring the underappreciated side of Savannah’s food scene. He has since expanded Eat and It and Like It to include cities and towns across the Southeast and is currently launching Eat It Florida, which is focused on celebrating exceptional food and drink across the Sunshine State.

Blanco published Savannah Food Crawls: Touring the Neighborhoods One Bite and Libation at a Time in 2023 and Charleston Food Crawls: Touring the Neighborhoods One Bite and Libation at a Time in 2024. Both books offer exciting culinary tours of the South’s most acclaimed cities, each of which has a vibrant, buzzworthy food scene. In each book, this larger-than-life food writer eagerly invites readers to dig into Savannah and Charleston, one dish at a time.

Join SCOOBY-DOO!™ and the gang to solve a gem of a mystery when the all-new SCOOBY-DOO!™ Mansion Mayhem opens on Friday, September 20 at the Museum of Discovery and Science (MODS). This immersive experience, in partnership with Warner Bros. Discovery Global Themed Entertainment, allows families to join the members of Mystery Inc. to analyze clues and put their problem-solving skills to the test. Young detectives and their families will work through the rooms of the mansion meeting different characters from the iconic TV show that has captivated fans for more than five decades. Unmask the jewel thief and discover secrets of the mansion through January 5, 2025.

In the Hall of Portraits, meet Daphne—the brave fashionista of the gang. Comb through moving eye portraits to discover the villain’s hidden control panel that creates spooky illusions. In the Villain’s Tinkering Workshop, work alongside Fred, the group’s calm and collected leader, to build a trap for the villain. Green glowing clues appear to help along the way! Shaggy and his lovable canine pal Scooby-Doo™ can be found in the kitchen of course, where families participate in the iconic ghost chase and create many more delicious memories. No mystery can be solved without the help of tech-savvy Velma in the library music room. Solve a musical puzzle on the organ and use the Clue Analyzer to get a visual of the villain.

Be sure to gather the family for a mesmerizing photo op with The Mystery Machine! The iconic vehicle, on loan from Warner Bros. Archives, was one of four that were initially made for the live-action movies SCOOBY-DOO (2002) and SCOOBY-DOO 2: MONSTERS UNLEASED (2004).

SCOOBY-DOO!™ Mansion Mayhem was produced by The Children’s Museum of Indianapolis in partnership with Warner Bros. Discovery Global Themed Entertainment. The Children’s Museum is a nonprofit committed to creating extraordinary family learning experiences across the arts, sciences and humanities that have the power to transform the lives of children and families. It is locally presented by Florida Prepaid College Savings Plans and sponsored by Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital.

The inaugural Harbor Lights Golf Classic is set for Monday, October 28 at Grande Oaks Golf Club in Davie to benefit Children’s Harbor, a nationally accredited non-profit agency with a mission to help strengthen families who are struggling in our community, while providing safe shelter and support to teens in foster care so that they may grow into healthy, educated and productive adults.

Price: $750 for individuals, $2,500 for a foursome

“Whether you can lend your expertise to the planning committee, take advantage of a sponsorship opportunity or simply play on the beautiful Grande Oaks course, you can make a difference in helping to build a brighter future for our teens and their siblings,” Children’s Harbor President and CEO Tiffani Dhooge said.

Sponsors are already lining up their golf carts to help. Hospitality Sponsors Bauer Gutierrez & Borbon is joined by Birdie Sponsors Knights of Columbus Council 12240 INC. and Scoremax Tutoring, and Par Sponsors Alarm.com, M.A. Construction Group LLC and Miller Construction Company.

About Children’s Harbor

Established in 1996, Children’s Harbor is a nationally accredited non-profit agency with a mission to help strengthen families who are struggling in our community, while providing safe shelter and support to teens in foster care so that they may grow into healthy, educated and productive adults.

With the belief that children should feel safe, that family is worth fighting for and that cycles can be broken, Children’s Harbor provides a harbor of hope and healing for children who have been impacted by the trauma of child abuse. The main campus in Pembroke Pines provides a supportive family environment for teenagers in foster care and their younger siblings. The family strengthening program prevents kids from coming into foster care by providing in-home counseling and support to families who are struggling in the community. Young adults aged 18-23 who have aged out of foster care are provided with housing and the wrap-around support and independent living programs necessary to help them overcome their trauma and navigate through the early stages of adulthood.

Brown’s Harbor is a supportive housing community that offers on-site staff, training, and wrap-around support services for young adults who have aged out of the foster care system, ages 18-23, helping to bridge the gap from dependence to independence.

Cost: Advance tickets – $25; Day of event – $40

FLITE Center’s “Sip, Savor and Screening” benefit presented by Seminole Casino Coconut Creek will take place on Tuesday, August 20, from 6 – 9 p.m., at Movies of Delray (7421 W Atlantic Avenue in Delray Beach). This special evening, part of Boca Chamber Festival Days (BCFD), will include a complimentary libation, gourmet light bites, a raffle and a ticket to view the 2024 drama, Sound of Hope: The Story of Possum Trot, an uplifting true story about how a small community banded together to transform the lives of its most vulnerable youth. All proceeds will go toward FLITE Center programs and services, which provide young adults with resources and support to help them transition to independent living. FLITE Center is a one-stop resource center offering all supportive services to youth aging out of foster care, chronically homeless youth, human trafficking survivors, and LGBTQ+ youth.

Featured on Oprah, the powerful Sound of Hope: The Story of Possum Trot follows a rural Texas church community’s life-changing decision for 22 families to adopt 77 vulnerable children from the foster care system, helping among other things to shield them from the horrors of human trafficking. Led by Reverend Martin and his wife Donna, this act of boundless compassion ignited a movement, proving with passion and commitment, that the battle for America’s most vulnerable can be won.

With comprehensive, seamless support, FLITE Center guides nearly 2,000 youth annually through life’s maze. FLITE connects them to employment, education, health services, counseling, and safe, affordable housing. Established in Broward County, FLITE Center has been serving the West Palm Beach community since 2021. In 2022, it expanded its services by adding a 1,500-square-foot drop-in center located in the historic northwest sector of downtown – in an area youth can easily reach. More recently, new property space began providing a safe, secure and reliable immediate housing emergency landing space lovingly called Falcon Ridge for human trafficking survivor youth and their families.

FLITE Center’s West Palm Beach’s Anti-Human Trafficking programming is supported through a Victims of Crime Act (VOCA) grant through the Office of the Attorney General of Florida and through a U.S. Department of Justice Office of Victims of Crime Housing Assistance Grant, helping at-risk and sex-trafficked children and young adults between the ages of 10 – 24 with trauma informed care, guidance and support.

Celebrating 47 years, Boca Chamber Festival Days is the chamber’s outreach to the non-profit community. Non-profit chamber members join forces with for-profit chamber members to hold events during the month of August with a primary objective of enhancing awareness and gathering funds for philanthropic endeavors. The Boca Chamber is proud to offer a diverse range of activities that showcase the vibrant essence of Boca Raton, spanning from intimate gatherings to larger-scale celebrations.

FLITE Center’s “Sip, Savor and Screening” is presented by Seminole Casino Coconut Creek and sponsored by Premier Aircraft, Heidi Schaeffer, M.D. Charitable Trust, Boss Events SoFlo, Quest Workspaces, Florida Atlantic University and Excel Construction.

Advance general admission tickets start at $25; the day of showing tickets will be $40. Sponsorships starting at $500 each are also available. To purchase, visit https://FLITECenter.org/SipSavorScreening.

Creatives, Artistic Entrepreneurs Outside the Traditional Gallery Genre
Finally Get Their Own Exhibit

ArtServe’s “Ready-Made” Exhibit Opens Friday, July 19 With Free Reception

Crafters, wine bottle label designers, ceramics enthusiasts, wig-makers, jewelry designers, tattoo artists and other talented creative entrepreneurs who seldom get the chance to exhibit their work will be showcased at ArtServe’s upcoming exhibit “Ready-Made: Celebrating Business, Art and Community” that runs from Friday, July 19 through Friday, Sept. 6, 2024.

Ready-Made opens with a free, public reception at ArtServe from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Friday, July 19.

To RSVP for the free reception, click here: https://buytickets.at/artserveinc/1299219

Made possible by a grant from The Community Foundation of Broward, the exhibit itself is also free to attend.

ArtServe is located at 1350 E. Sunrise Boulevard in Fort Lauderdale and is open from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday and Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

“After seeing Ready-Made, your everyday experiences will come with a fresh perspective on the knowledge that an artist has created virtually everything with which we interact each day,” ArtServe CEO Jason Hughes explained. “For example, even a trip to the grocery store entails visual artwork on so many levels—the colorful displays, the food packaging, the coupons and even the fresh sushi at the seafood counter have one thing in common—they were all created by artists!”

ArtServe opened participation in Ready-Made to local artists of all genres—with one caveat: Exhibited artwork must not be perishable (which means the fresh pastries and sushi displays must remain in their respective stores!).

Ready-Made opens alongside a national launch of “Handwork: Celebrating American Craft 2026,” a massive Semiquincentennial initiative to showcase the importance of the handmade, both throughout American history and contemporary life.

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.

First, watch “Wade in the Water,” which sets the tone for the discussion around the visual exploration of Black folk’s relationship to water and Calida Rawles’s envisioning of water as a space for Black healing. Then, enjoy a conversation between the artist, filmmaker Cathleen Dean, and Overtown Youth Center CEO Tina Brown, moderated by writer and researcher Nadege Green.

Prior to the conversation, view the new exhibition in the galleries and celebrate on the terrace from 5–7pm with happy hour and live jazz in celebration of the rich musical roots of our neighbors in Overtown.

Enjoy an evening of culture and conversation at Art of Hip Hop – Miami’s leading cultural exhibition space and world’s leading destination dedicated to celebrating Hip Hop’s visual artists – with BUA, one of the best-selling print artists that has ever lived, with over 26 million prints sold worldwide.

BUA’s distinctive figurative style combines his classical training with his background in graffiti and breakdancing. The subjects of his paintings range from recognizable figures, such as Snoop Dogg, Tu Pac, and a Tribe Called Quest to anonymous people pulled from his memories, including his infamous DJ for which he has become best known. Each of BUA’s subjects is ennobled within the urban landscape he paints and is often rendered with elongated limbs or hands, emphasizing the rhythm of the scene. BUA exhibits worldwide with a fan base that ranges from former presidents, actors, musicians, professional athletes, and dancers, to street kids and art connoisseurs.

BUA will be signing a print along with his book The Beat of Urban Art, in which he lays out his unique vision, melding urban rhythms, graffiti, and classical art training. This visually arresting book is about his life, his work, and the birth of Hip-Hop. As we follow BUA through his turbulent youth, navigating he streets and underground worlds of the urban jungle, we recognize the powerful evolution of BUA’s distinct style—”Distorted Urban Realism.”

MODS is open an hour early for sensory-friendly Museum exploration and activities followed by an IMAX film at 12:30 p.m.

To provide a more sensory-sensitive environment for individuals on the autism spectrum, the theater lights will be turned up and the sound will be lowered. All films will be presented in 2D. No trailers will be shown before the movie. Audience members are welcome to get up, sing, walk, dance and shout without worrying about complaints. Families may bring snacks from home, as well as blankets and other small items to be comfortable.

Guests can also participate in a variety of sensory based activities throughout the Museum. Children will engage in social interactions and improve the processing, modulation and regulation of sensory input to increase participation in a natural environment.

Don’t miss this special opportunity to experience South Florida’s award-winning attraction featuring 150,000 square feet of dynamic science exhibits, an outdoor science park, a live animal collection, a rotating schedule of science shows, learning labs, café, store and a grand atrium featuring the Great Gravity Clock, a 52-foot-tall kinetic energy sculpture; the largest clock in Florida. The showpiece of the museum since 1993, this unique timepiece is one of only three in the world.
