Miami, 1999. A boy grips a baseball glove like it’s the last solid thing in his life. Around him, three generations of family unravel and collide: an unyielding grandfather, a grandmother carrying the weight, a father desperate to matter, and a mother caught between rebellion and duty. One night changes everything. Secrets break open. Bonds are tested. Love is stretched thin. Like a baseball glove, they must stretch and soften to hold on.
Cost: $66.69 and $72.54 (includes fees)

Mindy Solomon Gallery
Through Saturday, Feb. 28
- Ornella Pocetti and Marcelo Canevari: X Marks the Spot
Built as a shared fictional landscape, the exhibition brings together painting and sculptural elements to create a series of scenes that feel familiar at first glance, yet quietly unsettling. The “X” marks a metaphorical intersection: between two painters who have lived and worked together for over ten years, between different ways of building images, and between what is shown and what remains hidden.
- Zoe Schweiger: Sun-Kissed
Mindy Solomon is pleased to present the first solo exhibition of Zoe Schweiger at the gallery, Sun-Kissed, a love letter to Miami’s nightlife. Drawing from scenes at places such as Twist on South Beach and Willy’s, a beloved gay bar that recently closed in Wynwood, alongside longtime favorites
- Lanise Howard: In Aludria
Continuing with her tradition of masterful storytelling and graphic imagery, Howard explores a new body of work through an Afro-futurist lens. Afro-futurism is a cultural aesthetic and philosophy that blends African diasporic culture with science fiction, fantasy, and technology to reimagine the past, present, and future — fostering Black identity, liberation, and empowerment through art.
