How do you get happy? That’s the question a collection of artists asked themselves for Arte del Barrio’s “Art and the Pursuit of Happiness” exhibit opening in Wynwood this weekend. This Saturday, October 19, beginning at 7 p.m. at the Alberto Linero Gallery (2294 B NW 2 Ave., Miami) nine…
Movie magic can be expensive, and even big time directors find themselves strapped for cash when filming a movie. That is the beauty of crowdfunding: ask the fans who would see the flick to help pay for it. If Veronica Mars can raise over $5 million in 30 days, maybe…
For a museum dedicated to one of humankind’s boldest and most eye-catching acts, it’s easy to miss the World Erotic Art Museum. Walking speedily through the streets of Washington Avenue, one might pass what looks like a standard office entrance, with an ornate statue by the door and a colorful…
October may be all about pumpkins and apple cider up North, but the month signifies the beginning of stone crab season in Miami. The weather is great and the crabs are snapping in multitudes, so what better way to celebrate than with a festival? The Hess Select South Beach Seafood…
Beware, Miamians. The zombie invasion is coming, and there’s not much time to prepare. Prepare your awesome zombie costumes, that is. It’s the only way to blend in and not get your brains eaten during the South Florida Zombie Crawl. Lenor Ryan — one of the event’s organizers and regional…
This weekend, fashion and music fuse together to bring you Funkshion – a fashion show with that extra funk. Kicking off Wednesday underneath the tents at Collins Park, between the W and Setai Hotels, Funkshion is celebrating its 25th season. We’ve narrowed the Funkshion schedule down to five fabulous (and…
Sometimes, we’re short on dough. Hey, there’s no shame, it happens to the best of us — especially if you happen to be a “non-essential” government employee at the moment. And though some might be a little shy to reach out to family and friends to throw us a bone…
Darkness creeps up on you while you’re standing in the middle of a field, and all you can see is an old farmhouse and windmill. Is there enough time to make it there before they find you? Before you can turn to run, the walking dead are upon you, bloody-faced,…
Have you been thinking of some new and creative date-night ideas to spice up the love? Going to the cineplex is so passé, but heading to the drive-in is too expensive. What you need is a combination of the two. Lucky for you, the New World Center and Miami Beach…
Science: It rules the world. Embrace it, love it, and celebrate it this Saturday at the Miami Science Museum’s “AstroJam: Mission to the Future.” For National Astronomy Day (yes, it’s a real holiday), MiaSci will honor the stars as well as humans’ wild creations and inventions. The program lineup includes…
There are museums across the globe honoring all sorts of topics: modern art, natural history, space. In South Florida, we’re fortunate enough to have a museum honoring the timeless practice of doin’ it. Perhaps the most original house of art in Miami is the World Erotic Art Museum (WEAM) in…
Enter under the purple monster. Go through the black door with a red stripe, and step into a white walled alternate Hangar Gallery galaxy. A Samsung Galaxy, that is, as converted by the TM Sisters for the weekend long III Points Festival. See also: III Points Festival: The TM Sisters…
The parking was limited at the studio warehouse where Magic City was filmed, but that didn’t stop the cars from filling up the lot and parking along the street in order to get a piece of the live auction Saturday and Sunday. Playing on a flat screen TV (certainly not…
The III Points Festival aims to deliver a fully immersive experience in all things technology, music, and art. Sure, most people will attend the fest and pay the big bucks to see the bands and DJs, but we don’t want you to miss out on all the visual stimulation –…
Two years ago, in October 2011, the nonprofit Hand in Hand for Haiti opened the doors of the Lycée Jean-Baptiste Pointe du Sable School in Saint-Marc, Haiti. Since then, the organization has organized 5K walk/runs to raise money to benefit the school, which is funded solely by donations. Marking its…
Miami is a vibrant city. It might even be described as colorful. And come November, it’s about to get drenched in color – literally. What originated in India as part of a Hindu tradition has inspired a festival of colors, which brings together people, music, and entertainment: the Holi One…
YouTube: a place where anyone can rise to fame within 15 minutes, and those fortunate (or hilariously unfortunate) few remain in our hearts and minds forever in the form of a viral video. In a pre-twerking age, those viral videos would remain a shared inside joke between yourself and your…
Another Miami show cancelled, another auction of epic proportions. Magic City, the Starz timepiece drama set in the late 1950s South Florida, has met its end, and now there’s a heaping amount of set pieces to be rid of. The short-lived series told the story of a hotel mogul, Ike…
Friday night, Marlins Park was packed with fans, and though some may have actually been there to watch baseball (they won 3-2!), the majority were there for some Star Wars action. The stands were filled with fans who swapped out their usual Marlins tee for one with C-3PO and R2-D2…
The III Points festival is a three day long celebration of those three essential elements we can’t seem to live our lives without: art, music, and technology. Taking place Thursday through Saturday, October 3-5, various artists using various platforms will be blending the three components for our viewing and listening…
Beware — the zombie invasion is coming, and we’ve been notified ahead of time in order to prepare. Prepare our awesome zombie costumes to join them, that is. It’ll only be so we can blend in and not get our brains eaten during the South Florida Zombie Crawl. Lenor Ryan,…
There are few movies that both men and women can agree upon, and fewer still that both sexes will proudly boast they have seen. But even romance-averse action buffs must admit The Notebook is a rare gem. So who’s responsible for keeping the tissue industry afloat every time the movie…
