Art Trek Episode 25
The day when Emilio Sanchez turned 100 was an elegant, solemn, affectionate celebration. It started that morning at LnS gallery/ Sergio and Luisa Cernuda graciously hosted the celebration/ from the unveiling of the commemorative forever stamps through the UPS official ceremony with poet Richard Blanco as MC, to the opening of Emilio Sanchez Revisited exhibition in the evening. Our dear friend Ann Koll, the Emilio Sanchez Foundation Director received a great recognition when Professor Victor Deupi, who wrote the catalog, announced that it was dedicated to her! We had time for a lovely lunch, and to visit MIFA (the art academy in the city of Doral) to preview their show Emilio Sanchez The Centenary. Then back to LnS on time to the opening of a well curated exhibition, very well attended by art lovers and family. This was our first art trek without masks!! -
Episode 24 - NSU Art Museum
We love the NSU Art Museum in Ft Lauderdale, that’s why we go so often! Director Bonnie Clearwater greeted us and walked us around toward the 2 new shows: Christopher Carter’s Project, his very personal home. The house is amazing! and then to Thomas Bils’ bills Still Cheaper than Paying, it is about his reaction to receive parking tickets, hummm... In our way back we stopped at Laundromat Art Space in Little Haiti to enjoy Juan Henriquez’s new body of work: Mapa Histerico, what a nice visit, the entire space is intervened with his works, even the bathroom! Subscribe to receive art circuits’ newsletter each Thursday and plan your own art treks, an educational and inspirational experience! -
Episode 23 - Superblue
Superblue is an art trek in itself. It opened its doors with Mayor Daniella sowing Milkweed seeds to attract butterflies, no cutting ribbons, this is a new time. The experience was intense, I love James Turell’s work, you can feel color. We enjoyed the music, images that transform when you touch them and then the Clouds! So much fun, but the truth is that thanks to Lorie Mertes Locust Projects’ Director that rescued me as the Lazarillo de Tormes or I would have stayed trapped! Then we visited Es Devlin humongous installation a game of geometry and mirrors. So gear up and visit Superblue in Allapattah! Of course, you should do that if you already visited the Rubell Museum if you haven’t then plan a day with both attractions and lunch at Lekú, my favorite. -
Episode 22 - Deer Estate
Hola! An afternoon with friends at the Deering Estate is so pleasant and very possible because the Deering opens every day of the week from 10 am to 5 pm. you can bring your picnic, your book, your kids and enjoy having space, watching the water and the manatees and art because their current show is Spring Contemporary: Homemaking it explores what makes a house a home. Inside the stone house works by Amalia Caputo, Maya Billig, and Daina Mattis and the sounds of Frozen Music collective, and outside Tom Scicluna, Sterling Rook, and my favorite, the super fun rocket by Don Lambert. Why don’t you come? there are daily free tours to the property, even archeological ones because it was a Tequesta settlement then Seminole Hunting Grounds, then the Bahamians came -
Episode 21 - The Art Museum in Ft Lauderdale
The Art Museum in Ft Lauderdale is one of my favorites for many reasons one of them is the store. Good stores, good museums, and coffee... They are learning to prepare a cortadito. We were so lucky to find director Bonnie Clearwater and her team at the entrance, we walked with her through Anna Sui's retrospective. It’s joyous and educational. I love fashion! The music is also great. I was curious about Eric Mack textiles, the large-scale installation on the 2nd floor embraces the walls. Then we were really amazed by Iké Odé's portraits made with color-saturated photographs. Before leaving the museum we paid a visit to “ I paint my reality: surrealism in Latin America. It's my fourth visit! And till very soon because I'm really curious about Thomas Bils' upcoming exhibit. -
Episode 20 - North Miami
We went art hopping to the city of North Miami, we loved the temporary project Visible Invisible at MOCA’s Plaza, we visited the CAMP Gallery's new location and then we jumped in our car toward Griffing Park. The electric tree that Mark Handforth created looks amazing at night and sleeps at day, then we drove to the interesting Adler Guerrier’s work at Stormwater park with its bat house and butterflies, very educational, and returned to have coffee with friends. Feels good to be among Georges! we asked at the Community Planning office the name of the sculptor of the red piece they have in front but they didn’t know. Now we are ready to visit Michael Richards: Are you Down? at MOCA. North Miami is a rich art trek with its vintage stores and sculptures in unexpected spaces. -
Episode 19 - The Bakehouse
We have been planning a visit to the Bakehouse in Wynoowd for so long! Finally we arrived with George Neary and Ninoska Huerta. Director Cathy Leff gave us a warm Welcome and Curator Laura Novoa with artist Lauren Shapiro toured us around. We saw the Obscured Publications in the hallways, then the Amanda Linares’ spectacular artist books, to arrive to Laura’s impressive installation Future Pacific. In the garden we enjoyed Clara Toro’s meaningful Wynwood Norte installation. After a quick stop at Pedro Wassan’ studio, Cathy took us around the building where we were very impressed with the powerful Say Their Names’ mural recognizing over 250 lives that have been lost due to gun violence. Maritza Caneca’s very blue swimming pools marked the end. The Bakehouse is an art trek in one place! -
Episode 18 - Miami Dade Main Library
A visit to the Miami Dade Main Library downtown is always a pleasure. This time we went straight to the Vasari Project on the 2nd floor, there we met with Stephanie Garcia in charge of this unique archive of the art history in Miami Dade. Anything you want to research about including the complete collection of art circuits’ guides! And the Muller collection that George Neary really wished to review. The Library is not complete without Madame Library Barbara Young, who joined us for an interesting art trek downtown. We stopped by the HistoryMiami Museum, walked to the picturesque Soya & Pomodoro for lunch, and then, we arrived at the Freedom Tower. The Electric Body show at MOAD is worth the visit. And the Metromover is free. Art Treks by Art Circuits are an invitation to a safe and entertaining field trip. -

Episode 13 - Boca Raton Museum
The Fabulous George Neary and I decided to go art trekking to Boca Raton Museum and check their 3 new shows. We met with friends, we loved the Murano glass exhibit, and even found a Segal in color, a Miami River painting by Tiffany and beautiful Purvis Young works. But of course, on our way to Boca, we stopped at the art center Hollywood to enjoy Now, the Biennial and on our way back we had coffee at Ft Lauderdale art Museum and enjoyed the New South Florida artists. Cool art trek, and more to come. Plan your weekend with art information found on artcircuits.com Follow us on Instagram. -
Episode 12 - Ft. Lauderdale
Beautiful skies and cool weather are a good combination for art treks. We went to Ft. Lauderdale to the Girls’Club space, it’s the Francie Bishop Good Collection, they open every Friday. The show Civil Rights Era Photography is timely and very powerful, curated by Sarah Michelle Rupert. Who was there with Violet our smiling hostess. After good coffee at Wells (their unmissable neighbor), we went to the Ft Lauderdale Museum to visit old and new images that we love, and of course the store. I always find something “marvelous” there, this time a scarf! Saturday invited to Mindy Solomon’s opening of Güelcome ( yes with G, it’s the Venezuelan way to say it) and also ceramics, later we stopped at Dot Fiftyone to see in person Gonzalo Fuenmayor monumental pieces. We found friends outside and inside the galleries. Plan your weekend with Art Circuits’ newsletter every Thursday and enjoy art! -
Episode 11 - Doral
Once upon a time, we went park-hopping in the city of Doral. This is our art trek clip! Goal: the Manolo Valdes' monumental sculptures. We had a joyful field trip.

Episode 10 - Wynwood
An awesome Art Trek with friends started with delicious food at Vista and gorgeous window shopping outside. We went to Locust Projects to attend Miami based artist Mette Tommerup: Ethereal performance. We danced with gold, met with few but important artists visiting, and enjoyed a picturesque stroll walking the Design District. The show is up till the end of February 13, don’t miss it. Plan your weekend field trips with art, receive every Thursday artcircuits.com newsletters, and fly! -
Episode 9 - MOCA
We included in our New Year Resolutions: a weekly art trek with friends. Our first 2021 art trek was a visit to MOCA, the contemporary art museum in North Miami. We were warmly greeted at the door by Tainisel Rodriguez and we felt like kids with the amazing Raul de Nieves show and with the delicate exhibition Life and Spirituality in Haitian Art. Of course, a croissant before the museum and a mimosa after the museum at La Crème Bakery made the visit: perfect. Artcircuits.com tells you each Thursday how to plan your weekend with art and joy.
