The Night Event, (produced by Artists Wanted (an artist-founded platform for artists based in Brooklyn), will be an exuberant presentation of sculpture and sound…
This nifty tossed salad of offerings strikes palatable balances that won’t leave you feeling hungry for fresher talent a half-hour after leaving.

This boutique clambake with the allure of a parking-lot fire sale is an approachable, down-to-earth fair partnering this year with GreenMiami, a pet project of former Mayor Manny Diaz. The opening reception’s donations will benefit the City of Miami Tree Trust Fund, helping to support Miami’s dedication to preserving trees…

This is the fifth edition of the show, launched in 2006, and will feature projects from New York-based galleries DCKT and Claire Oliver.
