October 6 - 26: Xavier Cortada opens at the Gallery @ Coconut Grove Arts Festival. Florida is Nature asks Floridians to define their state by its natural environment, not by the edifices and man-made encroachments that displace nature. Biscayne Bay is the inspiration for the work featuring mangroves, corals, and aquatic animals, while the images of other animals like the panther, the wood stork, and the the red wolf remind us to take care of endangered spices.
