There’s more to the guitar – or maybe that should be “less” – than what you can get out of plugging one into a stack of Marshalls. That’s the electric guitar, and it has its own important, if relatively brief, history. The original instrument, though, is centuries old, and since 1988, Carlos Molina has been [...]
Several weeks ago Tigertail Productions (a Knight Arts Grantee) threw its annual fundraising bash which, while called “expected/unexpected,” turned out as expected — a great party with super surprises. In one room, a trio read poetry, a big hit for everyone who made the effort to give a listen. There were peep holes through which [...]

The ambitious and extraordinary Young At Art Children’s Museum is about to be a hot summer ticket for South Florida families with kids. The cavernous and bright building is a riot of bright color and art at every turn, yet clearly organized with space for quiet time too. Art is organized into themed areas for [...]

If you haven’t seen the new Locust Projects space (a multiple Knight Arts Challenge finalist), and, in particular, the paintings from Natalya Laskis, Wednesday, March 28 will be a good opportunity to pay a visit. You’ll like what you see. Starting with the new gallery — it must be said it is an improvement on [...]
By Tatiana Hernandez, Knight Foundation Thank you, Miami. As of last week’s deadline, we received more than 1,000 applications to this year’s Knight Arts Challenge Miami – which shows just how much this city’s arts community has grown both in numbers and creativity. We started the Knight Arts Challenge as a way to inspire boldness, innovation and [...]
As has become abundantly clear, art openings are no longer segregated to a Second Saturday — every week something new opens, on various nights. Last week saw Museum of Contemporary Art unveil its solo outing of painter Rita Ackerman, while Miami Art Museum, a Knight Arts grantee, spun a new web with “The Record: Contemporary [...]
