We decided to attend Big Guava Music Festival this past weekend in Tampa, Florida. The festival is its second year having featured big acts like Violent Femmes, Vampire Weekend, Haim last year. It’s by the same promoters as Coral Skies Music Festival in West Palm Beach, which we also attended last year and was quite fun.   We couldn’t resist the...

Ok so we didn’t go to the festival this year but we did have a amazing “Couchella” party. we practically watched the whole thing from my living room and listened in my car all weekend suffering a bit because we decided not to go this year. As we watched we realized that the line-up was all about the small print rather than the headliners. We...

The first weekend of Coachella starts tomorrow! They’ll be thousands of revelers embarking on a musical adventure in Indio, CA. Essentially everyone will be partying in the dessert, which makes for a gorgeous back drop to see favorites artists playing some great music. We’ve been going to the festival for the last two years and this year we opted to go...

Last weekend we visited Wynwood with the intention of attending some of the iii Points festival events. Naturally it was busier than usual when we arrived at 3pm. There were some events that we wanted to attend on Thursday and Friday but couldn’t make it down until Saturday. Surprisingly Saturday seemed a bit lackluster in the event line-up.  We decided not to...

So this weekend we decided to head to Orlando for Halloween Horror Nights 24. They were having an annual pass holder event and it was my daughter’s birthday, so there were two very good reasons to attend. I hadn’t been to the event since I was a young adult, a loooong time ago. I was very excited to go again – I live to be scared, I love horror movies, haunted...

Last weekend something magical happened in Miami. Some very well know and established artists painted murals at the Miami Marine Stadium. It’s not the first time this occurs, it has actually happened a few times before, all thanks to Art History 2014, the National Trust and Friends of Miami Marine Stadium. This time the artists included Jose Mertz, Reinier Gamboa,...

This past weekend we visited Universal Studios in Orlando to experience Diagon Alley the new Harry Potter section at the park. This is quite the treat for our family since my husband is an avid fan who has read all the books and my daughter is now reading the second book. We visited Islands of Adventure when Hogsmead was first opened with the same excitement and...

The Art History 2014 event that took place a couple of Saturdays ago was a hit. The event organized by Art History consisted of many well known street artists painting murals at the Miami Marine Stadium in order to raise funds for the its renovation.  One of the highlights of the day was a $500,000 donation by Gloria Estefan that was inspired by the HoxxoH’s...

    I usually attend many art walks and go in search of street art with my husband on art-a-cations. This is small sampling of street art pictures I have taken in Wynwood, Miami and New York from the last few years.            

The Miami Marine Stadium Mural Project is well on it’s way boasting a roster of talented artists including: Stinkfish, Axel Void,  HoxxoH, Tatiana Suarez and Abstrk- Ricky Mastrapa. Each artist has created a mural at the stadium of which prints will be produced and sold. Some of the proceeds from the prints will be used to help renovate the stadium and bring...
