Quietly over the past few months, a sky-high art installation has been under assembly in Wynwood, and now it’s ready to be unveiled. Hamanae by Bazbaz, a photographic art installation; and MKT by Bazbaz, a socially conscious marketplace featuring select local vendors, entrepreneurs, and artisans, will debut this Saturday, February 18, in Wynwood, and run through the weekend from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

The Miami Heat has played 56 of its 82 regular-season games, but for some reason, the NBA All-Star break this weekend still feels like the midpoint of the season. Maybe that’s because Heat fans are so used to playoff basketball stretching into May and June.
Toss this hot take into the ever-growing pile of takes about the Miami Heat hitting the web over the past week that would have seemed downright senile just three weeks ago: Erik Spoelstra has delivered the best coaching performance of his career in 2017. The fact that this take didn’t just burn a hole through your computer screen, drop onto your keyboard, and roll into your lap is reason enough to call this one of the oddest Heat seasons of all time.
Heads-up, South Florida singles; Valentine’s Day isn’t just for couples partaking in appointment romanticism anymore. 1-800-Flowers and over-priced restaurants aren’t the only winners on February 14. Why? Because nobody is the boss of you on this day. Especially not your nonexistent significant other. For singles, Valentine’s Day is just another…
Rejoice, kings, queens, jokers, wretches, and knaves! The Florida Renaissance Festival is back in South Florida for its silver anniversary, and you’re invited to take part in all the debauchery and shenanigans.

Some things in this world are awesome on their own but transform into a boatload of nope if paired with something equally enjoyable. Pineapple lasagna. Banana wine. Rib-eye ice cream. Greatness doesn’t always pair well with greatness. Thanks to local musicians Otto Von Schirach and Gio Profera, we are about to be confronted by another such pairing: milk and wrestling. The eccentric Miamians have announced they have put together the Valentine’s Day celebration you didn’t know you needed: a night of booze, music, and, yes, milk wrestling.
The Miami Heat used to be really, really bad. Way back in January 2017, the Heat was a putrid basketball team that had lost 30 of 41 games. People wanted Miami to start tanking. They said the Heat should trade Hassan Whiteside for Carmelo Anthony. They threw dirt on the season before it was confirmed dead.
Miami is pegged at +4000, or 40-to-1 odds, to win Super Bowl LII, according to Sports Insights. Those odds are smack-dab in the middle of the pack as far as AFC teams go and 16th out of the entire NFL.
Vinyl heads are a dying breed. At a time when music lovers can carry around the entire discography of every artist they love on a keychain, it’s growing tougher for lovers of records to find a place to dive headfirst into a mountain of vinyl to search for something rare or forgotten.
How much do you love AMC’s The Walking Dead? Do you find yourself imagining what it would be like to be on the show, trying to survive the zombie apocalypse alongside the remaining survivors? Do you care so much about certain characters that you become physically ill when they are killed? Are you so obsessed that you would consider taking a vacation to a private Bahamian island with some of the cast and crew?
It’s February, and — sorry! — South Florida sports kinda suck. The Marlins are months from returning and will probably be bad when they do. The Heat is driving its tank in the wrong direction. The Panthers aren’t anything to write home about. And football is finally leaving us for good following this weekend’s Super Bowl.
Beginning in April 1987, Hot Wheels Skating Center in West Kendall was the place to be in Miami-Dade. Throughout the ’90s, the skating center was packed daily with tweens and teenagers, and it helped launch acts such as Quad City DJs, Stevie B, and countless other performers. It was the place to be if you weren’t old enough to get into a nightclub but still wanted to do some booty-shaking to the newest 2 Live Crew song.
Phil Jackson, the New York Knicks, and Carmelo Anthony are in the final stages of a messy divorce. All that is required to finalize the breakup is a trade partner willing to give the Knicks a player of value for their veteran star. The Miami Heat should be that homewrecker…
What are the Dolphins’ most pressing needs as they enter one of the most exciting and crucial offseasons in recent memory? Here are a few matters that might be keeping the Fins’ front office up at night.
Miami fans found themselves in a weird place at the American Airlines Arena this past Saturday. Obviously, they were thrilled to see the Heat spank the Milwaukee Bucks for their third win in a row. But many fans also had a little Pat Riley-shaped devil on their shoulder, whispering that what this team needs right now are losses — because tanking for a draft pick is about all the Heat has to work for this year.
This past in October, graffiti artists of the Bushwick Collective collaborated on a massive anti-Donald Trump mural located on a building across the street from Mana Wynwood at the intersection of NW 23rd Street and NW Fifth Avenue in Wynwood. The mural — titled Come On… What the Hell Do You Have to Lose? — depicted Donald Trump as the Batman villain the Joker, holding a knife to the Statue of Liberty.
Back in 1987, Arnold Schwarzenegger’s film The Running Man depicted a 2017 game show in which convicted criminals fight for their lives, many times to the death, in an attempt to obtain freedom. The “runners” were constantly attempting to evade the “stalkers” in an attempt to keep themselves, and the…
Calling all artists and performers looking to drop some culture in the laps of unsuspecting Miamians: Cultra — the first-ever roving open-mike event — takes place tonight, January 19, from 7:30 to 9:30 at Tina Hills Pavillion in downtown Miami. Organizers are looking for performers who have what it takes to entertain a crowd.
It’s finally setting in: Football is gone, and it’s not coming back for a long time. A lot of good came from the Miami Dolphins 2016 season, though.
This February, Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM) will launch the second edition of its Inside|Out program.
