| "Small Stuff 2" Bear and Bird Gallery |
Sat., November 29, 11:00am more dates/times |
West Broward | |
Every year you make a promise to yourself to get your Christmas shopping done early. You swear you won't procrastinate like you did last Christmas, when you ended up giving out leftover hurricane supplies as last minute presents. ("Oh come on, Dad," you said, "Sterno is great for sooo many... More >> |

| Eighth Annual Art Scavenger Hunt The Downtowner Saloon | Fri., November 28, 8:00pm | Fort Lauderdale | |
You don't usually find hand-painted, wooden dildos peeking out of the shrubbery in downtown Fort Lauderdale. While you might wish that you could, there are simply none to be had. But on one evening out of the entire year, all of that changes.
On this magical night, it is not uncommon to see the... More >> |

| Homegrown Vagabond | Wed., December 3 | Miami/Central Dade | |
While seemingly the whole highbrow world descends on Miami Beach on this night for the official opening of Art Basel, across the causeway, the Vagabond kicks off the artsy extravaganza with a locals-centric fiesta. Okay, so Miami New Times is an official sponsor of the event, but its... More >> |

| Nothing Moments Art and Culture Center of Hollywood | Daily from Fri., October 24 until Sun., January 4 | Southeast Broward | |
In most books, even very pretty ones, the art is subordinate to the text, and the design the paper, the binding, the layout, the cover is subordinate to everything else. Not so at the Art and Culture Center of Hollywood, at least not tonight (1650 Harrison St., Hollywood). There,... More >> |

| Sketch 01, Horizon Art and Culture Center of Hollywood | Daily from Thu., November 13 until Sun., November 23 | Southeast Broward | |
What if you awoke one morning and your world had changed? The horizon, instead of holding its steady blue tinge, had become unpredictable. Colorful. Illuminated with fluorescent reds, yellows, and greens. You would discuss the situation with strangers to determine that it wasnt simply... More >> |

| This is Nowhere Art and Culture Center of Hollywood | Daily from Mon., December 1 until Sun., January 4 | Southeast Broward | |
Scranton, Pa., certain parts of Davie, and basically any red state from the last election could fit the description The Middle of Nowhere. But for artist Raul Mendez, the concept of absolute remoteness is more complicated and certainly more philosophical than most ever... More >> |

| Aviation Station Museum of Discovery and Science | Daily | Fort Lauderdale | |
For all of the little kids who were ever called up to the cockpit and given a pair of silver (painted) wings, or who have pressed their faces against terminal windows and watched the planes take off and land, the Museum of Discovery and Science (401 SW Second St., Fort Lauderdale) is opening...

|||
| Viva la Propaganda Bear and Bird Gallery | Daily from Sat., October 18 until Sat., November 22 | West Broward | |
Sex, drugs, and politics are the three taboos polite folk avoid. Artists, on the other hand, mustnt be terribly concerned with social agendas, considering that theyve traditionally tapped those very topics to produce great works. During an election cycle, we see an added injection... More >> |

| Girls’ Club Collection Girls’ Club Collection |
Fri., October 26, 6:00pm more dates/times |
Fort Lauderdale | |
The newly opening Girls’ Club may sound like either a gentleman’s joint or an exclusive dive for femmes. But it’s neither. It’s actually an alternative art space showcasing (among its many male and female works) a broad collection of local and national contemporary female artists. The Club (117... More >> |

| Under the Influence Girls’ Club Collection | Daily from Wed., October 22 until Thu., April 30 | Fort Lauderdale | |
Your copy of The Handmaids Tale has been gathering dust since college, and the last art show you attended wound up focusing on outdated still lifes. Its official: Youre starving both your artistic side and your feminist ideals. All of that will change tonight when you attend... More >> |

| Wet Paint The Lounge | Every week Wednesday from Wed., August 13 until Wed., December 31, 9:00pm | Central Palm | |
Creating art doesnt have to be a solo affair; at least not at Wet Paint, the new weekly art night kicking off at the Lounge (517 Clematis St., West Palm Beach) Wednesday night. An extension of ArtRx the quarterly gallery show that acts as a restorative salve for the local art scene... More >> |

| Picasso/Luna Museum of Art/Fort Lauderdale | Daily from Wed., October 8 until Sun., February 22 | Fort Lauderdale | |
Pablo Picasso and Carlos Luna have little to do with each other. Sure, Spanish was a first language for both of them; Picasso half-invented Cubism, and Luna has at least a passing interest in the form. They were born in different centuries, but the work of both seems to belong to the 20th and... More >> |

| Jazz Talk Series Museum of Contemporary Art | Last Friday of every month from Fri., November 28 until Sun., March 1, 7:30pm | North Dade | |
With the exception of your love of Lisa Simpson's collaboration with Bleeding Gums Murphy, an attentive ear at the beginning and ending credits of Woody Allen films, and a pension for using "jazz hands" to emphasize an important point when you're giving a presentation -- your knowledge of jazz...

| Eye Candy: Objects of Wonder and Delight Norton Museum of Art | Daily from Fri., October 3 until Sun., December 21 | Central Palm | |
Still-life works are tricky buggers their excitement-to-dullness ratio is unusually pear shaped, unless of course the artists normalcy-to-insanity ratio is also skewed towards the bottom. Luckily, the exhibit Eye Candy: Objects of Wonder and Delight is a collection of... More >> |

| A Tradition Redefined: Chinese Paintings from the Chu-tsing Li Collection. Norton Museum of Art | Daily from Sat., October 18 until Sun., January 4 | Central Palm | |
Conspiracies about smog, government cover-ups, and underaged gymnasts floated over this past summers Olympics. But most seem to agree that the games were a success for China, and not only for Chinas dominant athletes but also for the artistic wonder of the opening and closing... More >> |

| “The NSU Glass Garden” Nova Southeastern University Alvin Sherman Library | Daily | Fort Lauderdale | |
You missed seeing “Chihuly at Fairchild.” You wanted to go, but it was just so far away, and the ticket price was a little steep for your overdrawn checking account “budget.” Well, now you’re in luck. Nova University commissioned the famous glass gardener to create one of his masterpiece... More >> |

| “Art for Peace” Palm Beach Community College Eissey Campus | Daily | Central Palm | |
While most art we view daily is spray-painted graffiti by world-renowned masters like “Biatsch” and “Neckface” (though it should be said, we love Neckface), one local group is showing the world what painters can do with a more traditional medium: the canvas. The group goes by the handle The... More >> |

| "Native Offerings" Pine Jog Environmental Education Center | Daily from Fri., November 21 until Fri., January 9 | Central Palm | |
You may think our local landscape is no more than a collection of high-rises, neon signs, palm fronds, and liquor stores, but for five local artists it's much more than that. That's why curator Talya Lerman pulled together drawings, paintings, and photographs for "Native Offerings" an art... More >> |
