A Letter from the Publisher
By Harvey J. Burstein

	MiamiARTzine.com's Editor Mary Damiano, Webmaster Robert Figueroa, Photographer Henry Perez & Publisher Harvey J. Burstein celebrating 1st year of publication

Dear Readers:

We are very excited that we are entering our second year of MiamiARTzine.com. What started out as a need by the Miami Beach Arts Trust to have a publication promoting the arts has proven to be a big success.  Our readers love us!  Our mission to cover under-reported art stories, take on a different twist to a well-known arts organizations have kept our readers coming back for more. We have given aspiring writers and photographers an opportunity to engage in their passion, add to their resumes and get published. When we go to gallery openings and play openings, we are embraced with open arms. And, of course, we make any photos we have taken to the arts organization for remembrance and promotional purposes.

On November 16, we’re going to celebrate. We are having a fundraiser so we can raise much-needed funds to continue our successful e-zine.  The garden party will be at a private home and hors d'oeuvres and cocktails will be served. There’ll be birthday cake too. (See Invite)

We have big plans for the future. While we want to continue what we’re doing, we want to get more people involved, more readers.  We will strive to continue our informative and  entertaining content.

This could not happen without the hard work of Miami Beach Arts Trust Board. They have been enthusiastic about MiamiARTzine.com and have offered creative ideas and support.
