It’s not easy having eyes all over the scene, being around to take in all the wild visuals at all the worthwhile places in the city. There are, however, those parties and gallery openings where a fortunate photographer can point and shoot. Every week, in collaboration with WorldRedEye, New Times…
As the summer season comes to a close and we slip into fall, September hits us with a cool bundle of classic films that provide a variety of things to check out over the upcoming weeks. Here’s what to look forward to. Coral Gables Art Cinema Gables Cinema’s After Hours…
It’s no surprise that Miami’s art scene is thriving. If the galleries that dot Wynwood and Little Haiti, the Art Deco visage of South Beach, and the annual pilgrimage of artists and collectors to Art Basel aren’t proof enough, consider the wealth of innovative and imaginative local artists who are…
Instagram and the Miami photography community have found a place to merge on the web. Igers Miami, a public Instagram profile that features Miami shooters both amateur and professional, gives local photogs the chance for their work to be seen by the group’s 19k followers. And that sphere of influence extends…
Thursday Good timing or mere coincidence? Either way, with the recent conclusion of the Summer Olympics in Rio, it makes sense to continue to shine the spotlight on Brazil’s vibrant culture. Consequently, the celebration continues with ArtBrazil 2016, the fourth-annual monthlong event that will, for the first time, be expanded…
Ben Kingsley has spoken many words of wisdom in his lifetime, few more insightful than when he told the Observer earlier this summer that, when a male actor is directed by a woman, he “is almost given permission to be vulnerable.” In Alice Winocour’s new feature, Disorder, which lays bare…
Outsiders typically look upon Miami’s local art scene with a sense of derision. The influx of patrons from cosmopolitan hotspots for Art Basel Miami Beach notwithstanding, local institutions have a fair amount of trouble crafting a name for themselves on the international stage. Common Field, a national visual arts network,…
The attempt to reconcile the personal with the political has been the great theme of Nanni Moretti’s cinema, as it was for many of the legendary Italian directors before him. In Mia Madre, it finds one of its more vivid examinations. The film’s concept is blunt — a director struggles…
Even when it’s not Art Basel, Miami holds its own as a cultural epicenter. Although Magic City arts events are notorious for free alcohol and late-night beats, the arts in Miami can be family friendly when seen in a new light – namely, daylight. Miami’s ever flourishing and diverse community…
Nepotism is occasionally a positive, and not just for the direct beneficiary. Ridley Scott gave us Alien, with heroine Ripley and a memorable cast of ne’er-do-wells and villains with defined personalities. And now Scott’s son, Luke, who’s been shadowing his dad on his last few big-budget films, has delivered unto…
In Miami, illustration is everywhere. It brightens otherwise decayed street corners with pops of color and flourishes of paint. Scribbled words are scrawled across sidewalks and street signs. Miami’s artists have brought the city into a different cultural stratosphere, one that uplifts and inspires. But they pay a price to…
Tension and release is the driving principle of a tearjerker, where every good fortune is countered by something worse. And as dismissive as critics often are of the genre, it’s actually quite difficult for a director to make people cry en masse and genuinely feel things. Derek Cianfrance’s foreboding melodrama…
This quietly moving doc has a hook worthy of the most shameless of Hollywood weepies, offering tragedy and a miracle and much ado about the power of movies themselves. But the film is tender and patient, as fascinated by the challenges of daily life as it is by the dramatic…
If you’re heading to Art Basel Miami Beach 2016, don’t miss the building decked out in rainbow tapestries. That would be the Wolfsonian’s largest Art Week exhibition, “Modern Dutch Design.” The exterior of the museum will sport the work of contemporary Dutch artist Christie van der Haak, while the interior…
When I told my friends I was attending a Miami FC soccer game on Saturday night, I got responses like this: “You mean Beckham’s team?” If you explain that to the people over at Miami FC, they will most likely give you a smirk and say, “Just a little friendly…
Happy Monday, Miamians. This week brings plenty of events, and the best part is they’re all free. Monday Music at Government Center: Start your week off with a free concert during your Monday-morning commute. Tuesday Lecture: “Realizing Sea Level Solutions” at FIU Miami Beach Urban Studios: Join Dr. Todd Crowl,…
You can be forgiven for thinking that the new show from Dan Harmon, creator of Community and Rick and Morty, might come off as niche. Available on the new comedy streaming service Seeso, Harmonquest features comedians playing Pathfinder — a tabletop role-playing game similar to Dungeons and Dragons — in…
It takes a particular brand of dude to pull off a luxurious, well-groomed, badass beard. It’s not a look everyone can wear, especially in the South Florida heat. For those who can rock a glorious beard, it’s a secret handshake. A good beard signifies you’ve seen some shit in your…
This Saturday, Bookleggers mobile library will celebrate its four-year anniversary in a fashion that could best sum up its run of bringing books to the masses in an unorthodox way: by drinking good beer, eating great food, and riding a mechanical alligator. If that doesn’t sum up Bookleggers outside-the-box business…
The best time of the week is finally here — the weekend. The next three days are filled with music, art, and boozy beverages galore. From Coral Gables to Little Havana to South Beach, these are the best places to be until the sun comes up Monday morning. Friday Viernes…

Summer may be coming to an end in other parts of the country, but not in Miami. High temperatures are holding steady, and the Magic City needs some help cooling off. Luckily, the Good Humor company is bringing the Welcome to Joyhood tour to Bayfront Park today to hand out…
