Most people who have heard of Jewish Community Services of South Florida (JCSSFL) associate the organization with helping the elderly and running food banks.

They have an LGBTQIA+ program with Lambda Living. They even manage the 211 su***de prevention helpline 24 hours a day.

Miami Art Week is usually associated with the rich and famous, but there are many free events that have equally impressive exhibits. Every year presents a series of award winning public works but this year families have been congregating at sunset to enjoy three amazing installations that change if you see them by day or at night.

On the beach behind the hotel you will find the sails of a buried Spanish galleon “Seletega” crafted by Alaskan artist Nicholas Galanin of Alaska. His great-grandfather was a totem carver, his father a jewelry maker, he was raised in a native community of traditional artists.

Steps away is the installation created by our beloved art Guru Carlos Betancourt in collaboration with Alberto Latorre and the Miami Reef Line. “The Miami Reef Star, Star Compass” is a cluster of illuminated prototypes forming a giant star shape that highlights the relationship between the cosmos and the oceans. This is a model of the natural reef project that will be built on the ocean floor from South Beach to Bal Harbour creating one of the largest reefs in the world. At night it lights up on like stars in the sky and it is truly magical.

Just 100 yards north you will find a migrating herd of 100 life-size elephants. Crafted in the Nigiri hills of Southern India, each elephant is made with Lantana w**d and is a faithful replica of a real elephant known by name and personality by their indigenous creators.

The world’s leading galleries present the highest quality of paintings, drawings, sculptures, installations, digital works and more. Thanks to our membership, we were fortunate to have an invitation to the vernissage of Art Basel where we explored 286 galleries, spanning 38 countries and territories in the first edition of the show under director Bridget Finn.
This year’s trends include works that tackle issues of the day: social history and identity, gender and oppression. It was impossible to name a favorite, but the thrill of strolling through the aisles of masterpieces was only matched by the people watching. This season’s Art Basel was epic. But that was not all….
We then took our shoes off and walked 10 blocks on the beach to the exhibits behind the Faena. Stay tuned for our next post.

Where else in the world can you walk on the sand and arrive at a gorgeous art fair with beautiful views of the ocean? Untitled is the quintessential contemporary art fair with interesting artists from around the world.

Originally from Poland and now living in Miami, Justyna Kisielewicz’s work at la cometa booth sold out in a few hours. Don’t miss her grand colorful depictions of colonialism and nature combined in magical settings.

No Man’s Art Gallery from Amsterdam represented Alan Hernandez from Oaxaca and his dreamlike gigantic sculptures of moths and butterflies alongside beautiful paintings from Sam Samiee from Iran.

Fountainhead Art alumnae Dach&Zephir originally from Guadaloupe and Paris had an elegant installation composed by baskets and seeds depicting the heritage of the French West Indies.

And finally we all wish we could own one of the “natural” desert landscapes by Sol Summers, an L.A. based artist debuting his first solo show this week at Untitled.

Every year we look forward to visiting Design Miami and discovering award-winning objects and exhibitors. This year under Glenn Adamson’s curatorial theme, Blue Sky, the fair offers a truly global forum of design and is a celebration of imagination.
We loved the intricate tapestries at Mindy Solomon’s space and the vases at the Southern Guild from South Africa.

Art Miami is one of longest running contemporary art fairs. Over the years the galleries here have gotten less serious and more glitzy and so have the attendees, so put on your walking shoes get ready for some of the best people watching in town.

Guru tip: the building is on the waterfront so head to the back and find the outdoor bar with gorgeous views over the water.

You would never know that Soledad (Sol) Picon grew up surrounded by rugged nature in a small remote town in southern Argentina. Sol is statuesque, with a larger-than-life personality, and is part of the Executive Team at The Bass, one of the most successful contemporary art museums. She arrived in Miami in 1999, after graduating as an architect and began her immersion in a fast-growing art scene. Soon she joined the Board of Directors at the MOCA museum and followed Silvia Karman Cubina when she became Executive Director of The Bass Museum. Sol’s mission as Director of Individual Giving is to make The Bass part of the community of Miami Beach. “As an architect, I never worked as an architect, but it was for me an illusion of building something.” See our interview to learn how children in Miami Beach are now members of the museum from the minute they are born. Discover how the museum creates content and entertainment for children, teens and young adults helping these next generations experience art. Find out about the free events that take place every month at the museum and Sol’s favorite neighborhood restaurants and bars.
