Rayuela By Marco Flores
Saturday, May 3, 2025 at 8:00 PM - Spanish
FUNDarte and Miami-Dade County Auditorium in collaboration Aventura Arts and Cultural Center present Rayuela by Marco Flores on May 2nd & 3rd at 8:00 p.m. at Aventura Arts & Cultural Center as part of Out (Loud) in the Tropics Series.
Rayuela, meaning 'hopscotch' in Spanish is the newest creation of versatile artist, Marco Flores. Flores celebrates the first 20 years of his career in this piece that is a metaphor for his life where he is accompanied by renowned musicians, singer Alfredo Tejada and guitarist Jose Tomas Jimenez.
"In the beginning, it was the heartbeat: the primitive pulse of a life that became rhythm, compass: Marco. Then, wings were born on his feet, a thousand flowers in his soul. Misfortunes and laughter shaped his water skin and opened furrows to emotion and shouting, to mourning and celebration: because flamenco was that limitless place where his impulse - creative, vital - acquired its full meaning.
Now, it is time to recount what has been lived; to return to the origins, twenty years ago: not to start again; but, as an attentive and sincere traveler with the journey of what has been walked, to meet again with the essential truths of flamenco and relive them full of meaning: far from the museum, in the emotion of its kaleidoscopic pulse, of its elusive dance, of the clean heart of an artist of the twenty-first century: Marco Flores."

Painting Churches is Tina Howe’s moving and hilarious portrait of a family of artists falling apart and coming together. Gardner (a Pulitzer Prize-winning poet), and Fanny (a flamboyant aesthete) Church are aging Bostonian bluebloods in the process of moving out of their Beacon Hill home into their summer cottage on Cape Cod due to the shambles their lives have become. They have invited their daughter, Mags, who is on the verge of artistic celebrity as a portrait painter, to come and help them with the move.

Alex Katz: Portraits and Landscapes – Through the Seasons
Saturday, May 3, 2025 from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM - English
Sponder Gallery, in collaboration with the Ann Norton Sculpture Gardens and the Norton Museum of Art, proudly presents ALEX KATZ: Portraits and Landscapes - Through the Seasons, opening March 19, 2025 a landmark exhibition showcasing the timeless works of celebrated American artist Alex Katz.

Set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Ann Norton Sculpture Gardens, a lush, historic oasis nestled in the heart of West Palm Beach, this exhibition offers visitors a rare opportunity to experience Katz's iconic art in a setting where natural beauty and artistic excellence converge. The Gardens, once the private residence of renowned sculptor Ann Norton, now serve as a cultural landmark dedicated to preserving her artistic legacy while hosting world-class exhibitions like ALEX KATZ: Portraits and Landscapes - Through the Seasons.
Renowned for his minimalist approach, Katz emerged during the 1950s as a counterpoint to the gestural dynamism of Abstract Expressionism. His signature style distills time and space into visually arresting compositions that balance flatness with emotional depth. Influenced by cinematic storytelling and the aesthetics of advertising, Katz's art transcends Pop Art conventions, emphasizing clarity, balance, and personal narrative. Recurring subjects, such as his muse Ada Katz, take center stage in works like Large Black Hat (Ada) and Ariel (B&W), exploring themes of identity and presence with striking simplicity.
The exhibition further delves into Katz's profound engagement with nature's rhythms. His Autumn and Spring series, with their abstracted depictions of leaves and budding branches, capture the ephemeral beauty of seasonal change. These works, alongside floral masterpieces such as Purple Irises on Red and Yellow Flags on White, underscore Katz's ability to merge fleeting natural beauty with the enduring precision of printmaking techniques.
As Katz approaches his centennial, this exhibition stands as a powerful testament to his continued influence on the art world. His reductive methodology transforms everyday moments into monumental visual essays, emphasizing elegance, simplicity, and human connection.
Sponder Gallery invites collectors, art enthusiasts, and the community to experience this remarkable exhibition at the Ann Norton Sculpture Gardens. Immerse yourself in the poetic vision of Alex Katz while exploring the historical charm of the gardens, where art and nature exist in perfect harmony.
