A Message from our President Welcome to our 40th annual SOMI Art Festl! We’re glad you’ve joined us as you search for those unique fine arts and crafts to take home. Anniversary milestones are always a reason to celebrate and this art festival is no exception. We are thrilled to be celebrating 40 years of art shoes, 40 years of volunteers serving their community and 40 years of showcasing the beautiful streets of the City of South Miami.

Since 1950, the Rotary Club of South Miami has been the lunchtime networking group for civicminded business people and professionals in the South Miami, Kendall, and Pinecrest areas. On the 1st and 2nd Tuesday of each month we meet for lunch at the Kitchen 57 right here in South Miami from 12:00 to 1:30 p.m. Additionally, we have an evening social event every 4th Tuesday at various locations. Visit our website at www.southmiamirotary.org for more information on becoming a member of our club!

We’d like to thank our festival sponsors and the City of South Miami. By supporting our festival, you help us to fulfill our service mission of supporting the youth and youth centered organizations in South Miami. In our local community, we’ve supported many youth focused organizations such as Branches, My Music Match, Area Stage, Friendship Circle, Miami Music Project, IMAGO POR LAS ARTES, and many more. We have also provided college scholarships to local high school students from South Miami High School and Terra Environmental High School.

Globally, Rotary’s unique blend of business networking and civic engagement has made it the largest service organization in the world with over 33,000 clubs worldwide and 1.2 million members who are committed to Service Above Self. Rotary International and its partners have almost completed the relentless 37-year mission of eradicating Polio worldwide. Wild poliovirus cases have decreased by over 99% since 1988, from an estimated 350 000 cases in more than 125 endemic countries then, to 62 reported cases in 2024. The efforts of Rotarians and their partners around the globe will pay off---we will soon have a world free of this crippling disease.

Your participation at the Festival and awareness of our community’s needs helps us all to do well by doing good.

And don’t forget to come back to beautiful downtown South Miami to shop, eat, get personal services, exercise, go to the movies, and discover what our community is all about.

Kevin Grace, President Rotary Club of South Miami

Nelson Alvarez was born in Havana, Cuba. He graduated from the Institute Technical Superior of Havana, School of Architecture, in 1979. His work as an architect and professor at the same institute led to an opportunity to study at the University of Venice, School of Architecture, in 1992, where he earned a Master’s Degree in Urban and Regional Planning. Alvarez then continued to live and study in Italy for more than a decade. Early on, Alvarez developed a passion for photography and graphic design while also refining his freehand drawing skills. These talents proved both beneficial and profitable when he moved to Venice, where he worked on various projects as an architect and photographer. In 2004, Alvarez relocated to Miami, Florida, where his family had settled. Since 1980, he has worked extensively as an architect, professor, photographer, and as an Italian and Spanish language tutor.Alvarez’s main areas of interest are Urban Environment and Architecture, Dance, Theater, Portraits, Artistic Nudes, and the study of the Human Body Language. His images demonstrate how, even in the presence of dim light or using dramatic shadows, a photograph’s underlying message is conveyed.

She also belongs to the Florida Society of Goldsmiths. Her primary work is in metal work and wire weaving, but she has worked in Polymer Clay, Enamels and mixed media.
