  • Live Music / Electric Piquete

    Electric Piquete is a two-time Miami New Times Best of Miami “Best Latin Band” award-winning Latin fusion outfit. Their influences are as diverse as the Miami region that birthed them, ranging from rock to jazz, and spiced with everything in between: funk, Afro-Caribbean, progressive and R&B. Though mostly instrumental, the band does feature vocals and rapping on several numbers. A tight rhythm section and heavy percussion supports melodious horn and keyboard play. Their repertoire consists mostly of original compositions, but they are well-versed in Latin and jazz standards, borrowing from a range of artists: from Herbie Hancock to Mongo Santamaria. The band is currently in the studio recording music for a full-length release due in 2023 and just in time to celebrate their 15th anniversary.

  • Film Friday

    Garry Winogrand: All Things are Photographable (2018)

    Runtime: 1h 31m

    Described as a “poet,” an “athlete,” or a “philosopher” of photography, Garry Winogrand harnessed the serendipity of the streets to capture the American 1960s and ‘70s. His Leica M4 snapped spontaneous images of everyday people, from the Mad Men era of New York to the early years of the Women’s Movement to post-Golden Age Hollywood, all while observing themes of cultural upheaval, political disillusionment, intimacy and alienation. Once derided by the critics, Winogrand’s “snapshot aesthetic” is now the universal language of contemporary image making. This film screening is in conjunction with the High Fashion & Street Style special exhibition and includes an introduction and follow-up conversation with Karen Davis.

    7:30pm
  • Additional paid programs: ArtSpeaks
