Fall Back, Culture Forward
Turn Back the Clock and Stay Up for Sleepless
Night in Miami Beach
By Leslie Pariseau

Natasha Tsakos will perform her
character, Zero, in “I Dream: Caution: Humans Sleeping” scheduled for 4 a.m. in
the Ocean Drive Zone during the Sleepness Night event |

Miami Beach is often perceived as one perpetual
nightclub/beach party —a playground for the constant buzz of partygoers,
beautiful people and their entourages. Unless it’s Art Basel, the Beach is not
typically considered a destination for those in pursuit of culture.
However, the locals of this little sandbar realize there is
more to South Beach’s arts scene than meets the glitz-seeking tourist’s eye; we
are graced with world-class (and off-the-beaten-path) institutions such as the
Wolfsonian, the Art Center, Miami Beach Cinematheque, and the Miami City Ballet,
in addition to hosting highly-anticipated year-round cultural festivals.
But on November 3, out-of-towners and residents alike can
enjoy the hustle and bustle of SoBe’s nightlife, as well as its verdant and
dynamic arts scene. Set back your clocks: this shindig is for the
culture-seekers, the shiny celebrity followers, the beach bashers and the local
insomniacs to hang out together on one
Sleepless Night. .

You Are Here, by artist Lina

As a service to
MiamiARTzine.com readers who
are eligible to vote in the upcoming Miami Beach mayoral
election, Miami Beach Arts
Trust asked the four mayoral candidates to answer
some arts-related questions we submitted to them. Below
are the answers provided by candidates Matti Herrera
Bower, Simon Cruz, and William “Bill” Charles Smatt.
Candidate Raphael Herman did not respond by deadline.
Our thanks to Carol Hoffman-Guzman,
executive director of Arts at St. John's; Hannah
Baumgarten, artistic director of Dance Now! Ensemble;
and Jeremy T. Chestler, executive director of ArtCenter/South
Florida for providing us with their timely and pertinent
questions for the candidates.
How do you feel about non-Miami
Beach arts organizations being given large grants by the
City of Miami Beach? ---Carol Hoffman-Guzman
Executive Director, Arts at St. John's |
