Miami Art Week may be over but Miami's cultural scene doesn't let up thanks to  Miami Arts, Culture & Heritage Months from The Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau (GMCVB)  From now to January 31, this two-month celebration features  exclusive deals, experiences, and special events across museums, art tours, and culture all around the city. Check out some of the highlights:
Most of you who are doing Miami Art Week at all are probably going to Art Basel and Design Miami. So I decided to focus on three other fairs and my picks of works that I liked the most.   My favorite fair was Untitled which featured galleries from countries that aren't normally represented, like Ghana, Romania and the United Arab Emirates as well as more fiber arts and tapestries. Be sure to read the descriptions, as some of the materials used (like a prayer rug and AI) are a surprise.  Also, lots more eating options and better quality at all the fairs.  I did this special edition so hopefully it'd be in time for you to take advantage of it before the end of Art Week. And even if you don't go, enjoy the eye candy.
Arguably the event of the year is here. Miami Art Week 2024 descends upon the Magic City, Monday, Dec. 2 through Sunday, Dec. 8 bringing an international jet-set of art lovers, art galleries, art dealers, fashionistas and those who just want to see and be seen. Plus, Miami art week has also come to embrace wellness, with dedicated events and activations. We're not going to get into what is happening at the art fairs, but rather, some of the unique picks you may not know about, from popups to even an ice bath on the beach. And if you want to get away from it all while the crowds are here, we even have a top pick for you in Palm Beach that's sure to help you regain your tranquility, along with ideas for lunch while you're there.

Perhaps you don’t remember the first time you visited the City of Aventura, but it was probably to shop at the famous Aventura Mall, right? No doubt, this is one of the most important shopping centers in the country, but this small city, covering just 3.5 square miles, is much more than just a shopping destination. Here are some places to explore and things to do in Aventura for a special outing.

  How to choose what dance company, music,  or theater performance, or art exhibit to see in Miami? Happily, there  are lots to choose from – in theater alone, 23 theater companies! I thought you might find a list of the ones selected for awards by the Funding Arts Network (FAN), a leading non-profit organization, helpful in your planning for the upcoming 2024-2025 season. The list is of the visual and performing arts groups and their works that received a grant award. See below the works of winners by category, and at the end you can read more about FAN, of which I’m proud to be a member.
“There ain’t no cure for the Summertime Blues,” sang Eddie Cochran in the 1959 song.  Well, we hate to disagree, but we think we’ve found the cure for those summer doldrums and Summetime Blues.  From recreational and sporting events, to dancing, and even skydiving, from creative endeavors such as jewelry and ceramic-making to adult education courses at Osher Lifelong Learning Institute to acting, flower arranging, and glassblowing  we’ve got you covered.  And in the evenings, you've got some great deals at movie theaters, some even including happy hour. Combine that with dinner and it makes for a perfect evening out. Keep reading and you just might feel inspired.  Happy Summer!
