New Top Lawyer For The City Beautiful By: Susan Alvarez susaalvare@aol.com
Attorney Miriam Soler Ramos has been appointed to the City Attorney post vacated by Craig Leen who left to accept a position with the Trump administration as Director of the Office of Federal Contractor Compliance Programs (OFCCP). However, at the time of this writing, the OFCCP’s website has Mr. Leen listed as senior advisor. Ms. Ramos brings a wealth of expertise to the City Attorney post with some 15 years of government experience, which includes nine years in the area of local government ethics. She was the Deputy General Counsel for the MiamiDade Commission on Ethics and Pubic Trust. Prior to her new appointment, she served as the Deputy City Attorney and City Prosecutor for the city. As City Attorney, Ramos serves as General Counsel and Chief Legal Officer for the City of Coral Gables. She represents the City in all legal actions and drafts legislation, resolutions as well as policies for the City. Her office also advises the Mayor, Commissioners, City Manager, City Clerk, Assistant City Managers, Directors and City staff. Last November, during Ms. Ramos’ swearing-in ceremony, Coral Gables Mayor Raúl Valdés-Fauli in his opening remarks remarked, “Coral Gables exhibits its finest today in celebration of Miriam Ramos’ investiture.

With the locales that Miami has to offer, it is easy to feel like a celebrity. Cigar bars, speakeasies and high- end hotel bars offer the perfect excuse to escape your usual watering holes and dabble in something different. With such proximity to the Caribbean, it is of no surprise that cigar bars are ubiquitous in South Florida. There is one catering to each personal preference — from laid back comfort to traditional Latin to upscale and chic. Below you’ll find some of our top picks: Little Havana Cigar Factory — 1501 SW 8th St, Miami, FL 33135 Walking in, you are greeted with a warm welcome as the smell of the leather of the cozy chairs permeates the air. The
Little Havana Cigar Factory will satisfy your every want and desire with aisles filled with beautifully displayed cigars. As you peruse the options, you can sip on a cortadito, a short Cuban coffee, which they’ve brewed up for you. Once you’ve picked your type, cross the street and make your way to the park to play a game of dominos. Rumbar — 455 Grand Bay Dr., Key Biscayne, FL 33149 If a full-fledged cigar bar is not the vibe you’re looking for, head out to the Ritz-Carlton Key Biscayne for an afternoon in the hotel’s transformed lobby bar. Palmetto high ceiling fans, dark woods and big leather chairs draw on vibes from classic Havana. This intimate and romantic cocktail lounge boasts an extensive liquor cabinet: 85 varieties of Continued on page 13

The Arts Are Alive and Well in Fort Lauderdale! Who says you have to wait another year for Art Basel to enjoy an evening of art gazing? Sometimes you have to venture a little farther away from the Miami Design District or Wynwood Arts District to see something totally unique, an immersion of art collective, or some really cool art. Such is the case with FATVillage (Flagler Arts Technology Village), a city-designated creative district in downtown Ft. Lauderdale’s City Center which was officially launched in 2003 by property owners Doug McCraw and Lutz Hofbauer. FATVillage has in fact been in existence longer than the Miami Design District, Wynwood Arts District and Miami’s Art Basel Festival. FATVillage’s founder and developer, McCraw, says this all came about because he was a collector of art for some 30+ years and an investor in tech since the late 90s. He states, “The area was developed out of a warehouse district in 1999 and has some of the oldest buildings in the city. It has developed into a community of artists, galleries, theaters, studios (photography, film, graphics design, media management, and arts technology incubation), and other arts-centric businesses.” The Village’s four block neighborhood is host to some of the coolest, hippest, most interesting, and most important art gatherings and showings in town and indeed is a hub of local creative businesses and artists. “The downtown historic warehouse district is burgeoning with productivity. Techies, designers, artists, and creative professionals call this daytime enclave home,” according to the FATVillage bio. McCraw says the mission behind FATVillage was to rally philanthropic support around sustaining an artist community. In speaking with some of the local artists, including many from Miami, the concept was so appealing that they set up shop at FATVillage. Artists constantly need to seek out locations with low rents so that they have a space large enough to create their artwork, practice and perfect their craft. Alas, this community of artists then
finds itself having to have to pack up and move out once the neighborhood that its members, in most cases, helped revitalize, becomes too trendy and consequently too ‘pricey’ for them to afford to live there and soon find themselves having to relocate again.

According to the FATVillage bio, “Despite not having the favorable collective forces, the sort that created the art hub in Miami via targeted investments (cash and cache) in an art community from the private and publicsectors, FATVillage has weathered the storms (literal and metaphorical) with resilience. No real stories of this com-
munity having to move north, west, or from one place to another at the whim of real estate deals. Exceeding demand, with a lack of square foot inventory, has forced FATVillage to watch tenant success stories move to bigger spaces elsewhere. Facing steadily rising values, and numerous opportunities/pressures to follow the typical narrative (handing over to market pegged development void of artist sustainability), the property owners have stayed the course ‘protecting’ the artistic mix for 17+ years. This is highly unusual on a national scale, especially amidst the greater displacement story of art communities worldwide. In future terms, this is a less speculative model of a district serving a creative cluster, and the gains afforded to the greater community.” McCraw explains, “FATVillage is a cultural anchor of the Ft. Lauderdale arts scene. The impact is both cultural FATVillage Leah Brown in 519. [Photo courtesy of Doug McCraw] and economic. We have cre-

ated a great development impact on the urban revitalization of the Flagler Village neighborhood.” He goes on to say, “The community has been excited with the ARTWalks, cultural programming, and educational outreach that are a part of FATVillage.” When asked about the challenges, he expounds, “Funding for arts and programming is a consistent challenge. FATVillage is a non-profit (501-C-3) and a past Knight Foundation winner. We continue to create excellent programming for tech and maker-space projects, in addition to art exhibitions, residencies, internships, and educational programming. We currently invest more than $300,000 per year in Fort Lauderdale for arts programming. Sustaining these programs is a continuing challenge.” He goes on to say, “A main goal for 2018 is to secure more corporate partnerships to sustain our arts programming. Southwest Airlines, Ben and Jerry's, Whole Foods, Ceiba Groupe, and Florida Panthers have partnered with us in some of the corporate programs.” As with most art districts, FATVillage also has an Art Walk, and theirs is held on the last Saturday of every month, between the hours of 6:00pm and 11:00pm. However, most of the galleries close at 10:00pm. The FATVillage office and FAR Gallery also have walk-in hours Wednesday through Friday from 1:00pm to 5:00pm where you can buy directly from local artisans and makers. FATVillage is located at 521 NW 1st Avenue, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33301. Many businesses in FATVillage have normal business hours during the week.

THE COACH' S CO R NE R
What Word Will Define You in 2018? By: Patricia Madueno pmadueno@transitionpartnerscc.com
Every January, most of us pledge to a personal list of resolutions to kick start the new year. Many are eager to improve their health and wellness, adopting the latest diet or exercise routine, renouncing old habits and seriously pursuing a healthier life. Some are inclined to seek a higher level of professional satisfaction from their careers — by way of a new job, a promotion, entrepreneurship and a start-up. Others, to inspire their team to thrive, become more assertive and convincing, gain greater influence in their organizations. Those who lean on the emotional side in general are looking to reduce stress and enjoy life more. They strive to increase empathy and compassion, become less complicated, more confident and happier. Others whose spiritual dimension takes precedence will try to express gratitude more often, learn to forgive, increase consciousness or find peace. And the more ambitious will probably venture for a complete transformation and a radi-
cal self reinvention during the year. Whatever the objective or combination of resolutions spurring us, it has been shown that only a small number of us achieve the aforementioned during the course of the year, while most of us gradually lose interest after a few months, or even weeks. This could be due to a lack of genuine commitment, or the absence of an action plan. Other reasons include having no clear definition on how to measure progress or even lacking incentives to keep us on track during the entire process. What could happen if, instead of focusing on goals that are tactical and disintegrated, we engage in introspection and seek out the essence or intention that lies at the base from which all our desires and aspirations emerge? What if we search for the common point of convergence? To understand the real intention giving rise to our purposes and desires as opposed to defining the latter could allow us to learn more about ourselves and reveal what it is we truly want to be manifested in our lives. And, if we could sum up this intention in only one word,
what could it be? Let me provide a couple of illustrations. I have a friend who has chosen “AND” as his intentionword for 2018. He says that “AND” allows to put two things together, two people, two thoughts, two ideas, and to create a new reality that is more inventive, more beautiful and richer. He thinks that “AND” is more important than “OR” and is absolutely convinced that when adding, the result is always greater than the sum of its parts. My friend is committed to developing and fostering “AND” in his life; he wants to be more inclusive and hence more creative. Connecting instead of separating will be his objective
this year, and his resolutions and goals will consequently be centered on this intention. I, on the other hand, have decided that my intention-word for 2018 is “FLOW”. During this new year, I plan to place less resistance on what happens and accept things and situations as they come. I want to stop predicting, pushing and controlling results and outcomes. In short, I want to concentrate on being rather than doing. The oriental masters use the metaphor of the river when they describe this process, they say that a river always remains the same and at the same time, it brings forth new water each moment. I will make my intentionword “FLOW” ever present,
and like a mantra, it will accompany me during the entire year as the foundation of my goals. Remembering it will help me stay the course when destabilizing situations threaten to deviate me from my goals. This doesn't mean that I will avoid the action plan or eliminate measuring the progress or setting a few incentives. Simply put, I believe that identifying myself with what I deeply want will make the process much easier, more authentic and fun. Systemic coaching allows the awakening of self-awareness and the development of personal growth. It is a holistic and comprehensive process of accompanying the client in his own dialogue, focusing on his objectives and obtaining tangible and measurable results.

How Big Brothers Big Sisters of Miami Nurtures At-Risk Youth
By: Liz Kobak Liz@INYBN.com
For many South Floridians, adolescent life was a breeze as far as financial and familial support were concerned; they lived lives in comfortable communities with access to resources and parental advice. Then there are the children who might have a more challenging environment in which to grow up. Living below middle-class standards, they face more hard-hitting decisions than their more privileged counterparts. “Were it not for mentors and teachers to guide me, there were a number of temptations and challenges I faced,” says Big Brothers Big Sisters of Miami President Gale Nelson. “What do you want to be when you grow up? Now, kids are saying ‘I just want to be alive.” Having been raised by a single mother in Toledo, OH, Nelson draws from his own upbringing when leading the Miami chapter of Big Brothers Big Sisters and conveying the importance of connecting at-risk children with qualified mentors. “As the calendar page turns, nothing changes in terms of our relevance,” says Nelson of the organization, which will celebrate 60 years in 2018. “BBBS is well-positioned in terms of dealing with children who are the most vulnerable and in the context of bringing people to-
self in and outside of school, Noel-Pratt says she enjoys staying in touch with her little sister, seeing her off to prom and continuing communication for as long as both parties desire. “I’ve run into a case where she needed to find some of the pitfalls to look for,” says Noel-Pratt of the unnamed girl she mentored and who asked how to avoid getting into trouble. “You don’t know what direction to go through. I was able to let her know that I am here for her.” Another new initiative called “Bigs in the Gardens” is specifically targeting high-crime areas in Miami Gardens that Noel-Pratt says have left an unbecoming impression. “There’s been a bad stigma about the Gardens,” Noel-Pratt says. “If there’s one shooting, [the general public] will view the entire city as bad. [The initiative] will shine a more positive light on the police department.”
And while mentoring can begin at any given stage for anyone, the earlier it starts, the better. “It goes back to the basic principle of engaging youth at an early age to ensure effective development,” Nelson says. “Our board approved last year to serve up to the age of 25 years old to break the cycle of delinquency, poverty and provide support.” BBBS of Miami recently unveiled its Carnival Center for Excellence, a
Young adults receiving mentoring sessions have a 99.6 percent graduation rate, and 96 percent of them pursue collegiate or trade school degrees.
And Nelson assures that despite what some might view as a superficial way of showing kindness, sincere mentoring enables positivity from every angle – albeit from police department officials or likeminded volunteers. “Here’s one avenue to address friendship,” Nelson notes. “Mentoring is misunderstood as ‘that’s just nice;’ I would frankly disagree because when a child feels safe, then the efficacy of mentoring is clearly shown through their academic performance.” On average, young adults receiving mentoring sessions Photo courtesy of Jade Lleonart have a 99.6 percent graduation rate, and 96 percent of gether; friendship at its core is not about them pursue collegiate or trade school race, not about power.

The center offers participants programming focused on health and wellness, academic enrichment, music and the arts, digital literacy and career pathways. “Now we can go beyond mentoring by providing kids with mentoring and wraparound services,” says Nelson of how the facility’s holistic programming can further help children’s development. In honor of National Mentoring Month, Nelson believes January is prime time for making one’s presence known with helping kids who want to leave a greater impact on society. “It feels good to give,” Nelson says. “What’s better than individual success? Taking someone with you.”

HEALING the Soul to Heal the Body Mayra Dominguez, LCSW Reiki Master (RM), QS, EFTI
Are you stressed? Do you catch colds easily? How is your sleep? Do you cry easily? Do you get angry easily? Reiki, which treats the whole person, mind, body and spirit, can help you with all those issues and more.
Reiki’s Origins Reiki is another form of energy healing. It was developed in the mid 1800’s by a Japanese Buddhist monk, Dr. Mikao Usui. He developed the practice as “a path to your true self” placing an emphasis on developing a spiritual practice while we heal. He believed that “when the spiritual soul is healed, the mental and physical get healed automatically”. The current method was developed by Dr. Chujiro Hayashi, one Dr. Usuy’s twenty-one students. He is credited for developing the hands positions and the science-based practices utilized in Reiki. Dr. Hayashi’s focus was on healing rather than spiritual practice. During the 1940s, the practice was introduced in the States by Hayayo Takata who was treated for a tumor, gallstones and appendicitis by Dr. Hayashi. She was so impressed by how quickly she healed that she asked Dr. Hayashi to teach her how to transmit reiki. She studied with him for two years before returning to Hawaii to open a reiki clinic. One of the most important benefits of Reiki is to reduce stress and induce relaxation. Under stress, our fight and flight response, respiratory and heart rate, digestion, and even sexual functions are affected. Excessive stress can lead to heart attacks, hypertension, strokes, chronic pain, headaches and even panic attacks. Lowering stress improves our immune system, which in turn triggers our natural healing abilities.
Reiki symbols Reiki symbols are presented to students during attunements. They are an essential part of reiki practice as they improve the flow of healing energy. There are three main symbols transmited to the students upon completion of the second degree and corresponding attunement. The symbols help practitioners connect to the energy source and channel healing energy. Cho Ku Rei — the power symbol Used by practitioners at the beginning of the session to help

The annual Miami Yacht Show, known by yachting enthusiasts worldwide as the luxury in-water exhibition during Miami’s annual boat show week each February, has announced a new VIP Experience for the 2018 event with amenities designed to make the show even more extraordinary for its discerning attendees and exhibitors. Celebrating its 30th year and set to take place February 15-19 along Collins Avenue across from the legendary Fontainebleau and Eden Roc hotels in Miami Beach, the show attracts a global audience to a spectacular display of yachts and marine products, including more than 500 new and brokerage yachts and a wide array of the latest marine technology and accessories.

With 72 shops and services and another 62 restaurants and cafes, there is no shortage of dining and shopping options. At MIA, you will find remarkable shopping options, with everything from Ralph Lauren and Coach to Hugo Boss or Michael Kors, a new luxury Johnnie Walker store, the first of its kind in the Americas, and abundant spa options for passengers seeking to be pampered. Dining options also range from what you’d expect to come across at an airport: a Dunkin Donuts and Burger King, as well as multiple Starbucks locations throughout the airport. And MIA features higher end restaurants as well: a Bacardi Mojito Bar, a Café Versailles, a Shula’s Bar & Grill and even a Margaritaville.

MIA is currently served by 107 passenger and cargo-only airlines, the most of any U.S. airport. Visitors flying into MIA for business and pleasure need transportation options beyond air travel. Last year, MIA was ranked the most transit-accessible airport in America, according to a study

VIP Lounge options in which to indulge. Among them is a Military Hospitality Lounge for US and Allied active duty and retired military travelers and their authorized dependents. In October, American Express was granted authorization to expand its Centurion Lounge and add more than 4,000 square feet to the existing 8,000-square-foot facility, thus offering its member base access to even more space and amenities when it travels through MIA. MIA administrators’ vision to grow an expanded route network with direct passenger and cargo access to all world regions appears to be within their grasp. Seven international passenger airlines launched service into the Miami market last year: Mexican low-cost carrier Volaris began four weekly flights to Guadalajara and daily service to Mexico City on February 1; Canadian airline First Air began charter passenger flights on February 4 from Ontario; low-cost transatlantic airline WOW air launched thrice-weekly service to Reykjavík, Iceland on April 5; Avianca Brazil be-
released by transportation technology firm TransitScreen. The report reads, “What gave Miami the edge over the other airports? Well, it certainly doesn’t hurt that it’s fairly centrally located within the city itself. But the real difference? The humble bus. Most of the top 10 cities have rail stations that drop off at or very near the airport. But Miami Airport also includes nine bus lines that run through it fairly consistently and serve many neighborhoods, increasing access versus over airports like Denver or Dallas where transit mostly serves to carry travelers straight downtown.” A continued growth in arrivals and departures also required expedited security screening. Last August, MIA became the first airport in the world authorized by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to integrate Mobile Passport Control into its mobile application. In late October, American Airlines, in coordination with the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and Miami-Dade Aviation Department, launched two automated

The importance of these innovations and their significance not to be undermined, MIA’s upgraded mobile app MIA Airport Official was named “Best Immigration Initiative” at the 2017 Future Travel Experience (FTE) Global Awards ceremony in September. “Airports in the future must be about moving passengers from reservation to destination, through an almost invisible yet integrated ecosystem of distributed security, with less stress and frustration for both passengers and the officers who screen them,” said Dan Ronan, TSA federal security director — MIA. “These new, innovative automated screening
Already America’s busiest airport for international freight, with more flights to Latin America and the Caribbean than any other U.S. airport, MIA is uniquely poised to leverage the ecommerce boom responsible for $1.85 trillion in worldwide sales in 2016 – a figure that is projected to double in the next four years. Its seamless systems for moving cargo have not going unnoticed. In 2017, MIA was named “Best Freighter Hub” in the world for its excellence in the global air cargo sector over the past year. MIA welcomed its first weekly flight by Etihad Cargo – the cargo division of Five-Star-rated Etihad Airways, the national airline of the United Arab Emirates – on November 7. Etihad Airways was the fourth carrier to launch all-cargo service at MIA last year: • Qatar Airways launched two weekly cargo flights from Doha and Miami, with stops in South America and Europe. • Mexico-based Aeronaves TSM commenced 10 weekly flights from Cancun in March. • TACA Pe r u b eg a n fou r we ek ly freighter f lights from five South American cities. Along with the increased customer and cargo flights, MIA’s enhanced experiences, services, dining and shopping set the stage for a fantastic first impression for domestic and international travelers into Miami-Dade County.

New Top Lawyer For The City Beautiful

some recent extraordinary successes such as the Circuit Court ruling in rhw polystyrene case. Polystyrene, a plastic material (can be hard or a soft/foam) that is omnipresent and used in just about everything such as Solo cups, disposable eating utensils, plates, and packaging for take-out food and coffee cups, can also be found in many toys, radio knobs and handles, computer casings, TVs, and the list goes on and on. Because it’s inexpensive and convenient, it’s widely used but it comes at a high price to our health and our environment as it can take 500 years to decompose. Coral Gables is dubbed “The City Beautiful” with its pristine waterways; rich marine wildlife, its world famous Venetian Pool made of coral rock, spring fed from an underground aquifer. It boasts some 20 parks and has the largest tropical botanical garden in the Unites States. It is of utmost importance to the city to maintain this delicate and captivating environment. For that reason, many cities including the Gables are curbing and/or banning the use of polystyrene within its borders.

Ramos states, “Other recent successes include a settlement in a case with City retirees, a compromise reached with short-term rental companies, and effective enforcement of code and nuisance matters through the use of cease and desist letters.” Besides the impressive appointment as City Attorney, Ramos has had a run
of personal successes such as obtaining Board Certification in City, County & Local Government Law, being presented with a Leadership Award by the University Of Miami School Of Law, appointed Vice Chair of the Florida Bar’s Diversity & Inclusion Committee, appointed to serve on the Florida Bar’s Special Committee on Parental Leave and being reelected to the Board of Directors of the Cuban American Bar Association. According to Ramos, the City Attorney’s Office’s upcoming projects and initiatives for 2018 are to (1) continue
the defense of Home Rule, (2) continue to actively participate in the Constitutional Revision Commission on initiatives that are important to the City, (3) continue the defense of environmental initiatives, (4) successfully resolve pending matters (i.e. FPL, Facebook/ Instagram, polystyrene appeal), and (5) hire additional talent to fully staff the office. She expresses that some of the anticipated challenges will be the legislature’s continued attempts at preemption. Ramos shared that her future ambition would be to lead a City Attorney’s Office that continues to shine and be regarded as a leader among local government offices, to continue assuming leadership roles in the Florida Bar and growing as a leader in local government law and ethics.

Little Red Riding Hood Villagers’ Annual Children’s Opera Being Garden Tour Set for March 3, 2018 Performed for Almost 20,000 School Children The Young Patronesses of the Opera (YPO) has embarked on their 42nd season of our In-School Opera tour. We are performing the children’s opera, Little Red Riding Hood, by Seymour Barab for almost 20,000 children in Miami-Dade and Broward Counties at 35 schools. The story of Little Red Riding is a well-known folktale told throughout the ages. Our version showcases a Big Bad Wolfe, played by local favorite opera singer, Graham Fandrei, who is hungry and looking for food but gets sick by eating vegetables or sweets. He runs into Little Red who is on her way to her Grandmother’s house but once she speaks of the goodies in her basket, he feels ill. The story continues with fun and catchy music plus great humor all implemented by a fantastic cast and crew. And there are a few lessons in this story such as “don’t talk to strangers”. The students roar with laughter and often yell out to warn Grandma about the Wolf at her door. The children are truly engaged in the performance for the full 30 minutes. YPO also provides Opera Funtime booklet which accompanies the show and is created by YPO members. This learning guide tells the story of the opera, include music, features, games and puzzles. They use this booklet in the classroom to prepare for the show and is a tool to help with reading comprehension and more. Since its inception in 1975, it is estimated that over 500,000 children in public and private schools around south Florida have seen these wonderful professional performances, free of charge. Many of the schools visited are Title 1, meaning they have a high percentage of students from low-income families. A good number of the children might not have a chance to experience opera if it wasn’t for this program. And, these children who fall in love with opera are the opera supporters of tomorrow. YPO offers opera education to children because, now more than ever,
music programs are needed in today’s world. Many school systems have eliminated or reduced arts programs. By fostering an appreciation of and exposure to future generations, opera can survive. The members of YPO are able to offer the In-School Opera program thanks to their fundraising efforts as well as their donors and supporters such as the Shepard Broad Foundation, the Abraham R. Abraham Foundation and the Opera Society.
About Young Patronesses of the Opera (YPO), Inc. YPO is a 501c3 non-profit organization, whose mission is to cultivate, promote, foster, educate and develop the understanding, taste and love of opera to the youth in our community. For over 60 years YPO has been raising funds to fulfill their mission and to sustain a number of programs they offer such as the In-School Opera for the elementary school level, teacher and Girl Scout Workshops, and Voice Competitions of national renown, just to name a few.

Doctors Healthcare Plans joins a notable group of tenants including AMC Networks Latin America, Cisneros Group, Hermes of Paris, Avison Young, Entravision Communications, Eutelsat Latam Corp., and Valagro USA, as well as Total Bank and Florida Community Bank on the ground floor. “2020 Ponce remains one of the most distinct projects that FECR has built over our 60plus years developing in South
Florida,” said Tibor Hollo. “The leasing of this prominent space is in line with the growth of businesses that are relocating to Coral Gables, which has really emerged as one of the top office markets in Miami.” The current momentous sales and leasing trends stand as a testament to the strength of the Coral Gables office market. This lease transaction is indicative of the positive absorption that Coral Gables has been experiencing, as a significant amount of new leasing activity has occurred in the market this year. According to a recent Miami-Dade County office market report by Avison Young, the current overall vacancy rate in Coral Gables is 8.1 percent, a historically low figure. Coral Gables has transformed into a regional epicenter for retail presence, culinary experiences, art, culture, and creative business. As such, 2020 Ponce continues to be extremely successful in offering its prime commercial both for lease and for sale. “The activity in the Coral Gables office market has been vibrant over the past six months with a significant amount of new

Jerzy Kedziora Presents The Art of Balance at Fairchild Garden Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden is pleased to announce outdoor exhibition The Art of Balance, a series of gravity-defying sculptures by Polish artist Jerzy Kędziora. The newest installation is part of Art at Fairchild, the seasonal program that invites international artists to display their works throughout the 83-acre tropical oasis. Nine of Kędziora’s pieces will be on view through March. The balancing sculptures are the only statues in the world that can keep their balance and defy gravity while being attached in only one or two places. Perched high above the ground between trees, these whimsical figures conceal the serious origin of the art form. Kędziora was born in Poland in the aftermath of the destruction of World War II and draws inspiration from having witnessed the rise and success of the Solidarity movement. Growing up, Kędziora and his countrymen led their lives as if balancing on a wire, torn between the destruction and uncertainty of the future, pulled on one side by traditional ties to Europe, while at the same time being dominated by the Eastern Bloc. It was out of these conflicting forces that the balancing sculptures took form. Jerzy Kędziora (1947) is a sculptor, painter, designer and teacher from Poland. He has created several monuments under the patronage of the Council of Europe, and his work resides in

international museums, galleries and public spaces. In America, Kędziora was a special guest at NYart, Art San Diego, Palm Beach Art and Art Basel Miami. He is currently represented by 20 21 Fine Art. Garden entry is $25 for adults, $18 for seniors 65 and up, $12 for children 6-17, and free for Fairchild members and children 5 and under.

Fine Art Paintings by Cuban Born Artist, Jesus Echevarria
Images courtesy of Mike Hellem and Antonio Del Moral
Galeria Adelmo is proud to present an exhibition of fine art paintings from Cuban born artist, Jesus Echevarria. The exhibition will open with a reception on Friday, January 26 from 7:00 pm to 10:00 pm and it will be on display until Tuesday, February 20, 2018. Jesus Echevarria was born in the city of Pinar del Rio, Cuba and at the early age of twelve he began his studies of drawing and painting together with Art History, artistic feeling, perspective culture, color and landscape. His artistic preparation was shared between the well-known School of Plastic Arts of San Alejandro, in Havana and the Provincial Art School of Pinar del Rio,
Cuba. He has participated through the years in many personal and collective exhibitions, as well as in national and provincial salons, where he won First and Second place prizes and several honorable mentions in the specialty of Landscapes and Portraits. Once he arrived in the United States, he continued to make nostalgic landscapes of the western U.S. territories, having as his theme the famous Mogotes of Vinales, peasants plowing the land or collecting leaves of tobacco, etc. But he is not limited exclusively to his native land, as he began to paint landscapes of Florida, mainly the "Everglades, as well as coastal marinas and other Flo-
ridian themes. At the same time he always keeps studying the works of some North American painters of the beginning of the century, such as: Winslow Hommer, Thomas Hill and other contemporaries like: David A. Leffel and Margaret Kessler, identifying much with Echevarria the latter by the technique of their work in both color, composition and method. Jesus is currently working hard in the realistic wave or hyperrealism and has received great acceptance, highlighting his work for the small details, and for the marked contrasts
of light and shadow, atmosphere and richly colored elements such as Florida mangos, oranges and vegetables. He has participated in collective salons and art festivals where he has just won a second prize in the oil and acrylic genre in the past "South Miami Art Festival" which is celebrated every year and involving artists from all over the country. He also has paintings located in some Art Galleries in the city of Miami. Well-known collectors and prominent figures have works painted by this artist.

The Lowe Art Museum unveils a spectacular exhibition of rare and historically significant maps of the Caribbean on February 2, 2018: Antillean Visions: Maps and the Making of the Caribbean. The almost 200 works in the exhibition are culled from the Lowe’s permanent collection; University of Miami Libraries – Special Collections; UM’s Cuban Heritage Collection and the Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science library; as well as various other institutions including HistoryMiami Museum, the La Jolla Map Museum, FIU’s Wolfsonian Museum, and the Kislak Foundation. A free public reception will open the exhibition on Friday, February 2 at 7:00 pm (rsvp@lowemuseum.org). By tracing the making of maps over five centu-
ries, Antillean Visions shows how various historical actors have sought to navigate, explore, profit from, and assert dominion over the Caribbean. This holds true whether the map was used for colonial claims in the 16th century or to sell vacation real estate in the 20th. Indeed, the political, ideological, economic, and social resonances of maps continue to influence our views of the region today. Antillean Visions: Maps and the Making of the Caribbean is made possible, in part, by the generous support of HistoryMiami Museum and the Fortress – Fine Art Storage. The Lowe Art Museum (www.lowe.miami.edu) is located on the campus of the University of Miami at 1301 Stanford Drive, Coral Gables, Florida.
