Nonpoint Revolution Live	Thu., July 2, 6:00pm	Fort Lauderdale	Music
The Fort Lauderdale-birthed four-piece Nonpoint came up in the late 1990s, a particularly fertile time in South Florida for experimental heavy rock. At clubs like Cheers, Fubar, and other one-named venues long defunct, they'd share the bill with other arty-but-loud local leading lights like... More >>

Divorce Party Mamajuana Café	Thu., July 2, 8:00pm	South Dade	Nightlife
Down the garbage chute goes the leftover wedding cake that sat — spoiling — in your freezer. That cake is rotten and useless. It may be hard to express how freedom tastes, but a Fourth of July hot dog has nothing on a divorce cake (divorce cake’s much sweeter). And, while... More >>

Amassing a collection of the most prominent contemporary art, Gordon Locksley and George T. Shea have represented artists like Andy Warhol, Donald Judd and Brice Marden.

Strike a Pose! The Human Form in Japanese Art Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens	Daily from Tue., May 26 until Sun., September 13, 10:00am	Delray Beach	Art
The Jomon period, dated 14,000 B.C. to 400 B.C., is one of the earliest periods of Japanese history and is notable for its pottery, which according to archaeological evidence is some of the earliest known pottery creations in the world. The clay figures created during this period started a rich... More >>

"Amazing Feat of Aging" South Florida Science Museum	Daily from Tue., June 2 until Sun., August 23	West Palm Beach	Family Events
In 1513, Ponce de Leon wanted to stop the aging process, so he made a dodgy voyage across the Atlantic in search of the Fountain of Youth. The legendary spring he found is located in St. Augustine, but, spoiler alert: no one leaves there younger. We may not be able to prevent aging, but at... More >>

Dogs of Summer Art and Culture Center of Hollywood	Daily from Fri., June 19 until Sun., August 16	Hollywood	Art
For a long time, you've thought of your dog as an artist: she's a master of texture, weathering and deconstructing couches, fabric, and wood with a deft tooth. In her soul is a performer waiting to break loose, to entertain your friends and family with such high-skill acts as launching herself... More >>

Bent Rising Action Theatre	Daily from Sat., June 6 until Sun., July 19	Fort Lauderdale	Performing Arts
In June, 1934, the Nazis launched the Night of the Long Knives, the Reich’s first-ever purge. In the international press, it was billed as a cleanup of Germany’s “public baths.” Those public baths teemed with the boys and men of the S.S. They were led by Ernst Rohm, a beefy,... More >>

58th Annual All Florida Juried Exhibition Boca Raton Museum of Art	Daily from Tue., June 16 until Sun., August 30	Boca Raton	Art
Florida is not a naturally great place for an artist to do his or her work — the land is right, but the culture’s wrong — and that goes double as one moves away from the little pockets of civilization clinging to life along the coast. That is why the best thing about the 58th... More >>

“The Light Fantastic” Coral Springs Center for the Arts	Daily from Mon., June 15 until Tue., August 4	Coral Springs	Art
In South Florida, the Irish are celebrated on one day in March with dyed beer, leprechauns, and bagpipes. While all of these things are important, and most of them are uniquely Irish, they actually don’t fully encapsulate all that the Emerald Isle has to offer. Let’s not forget the... More >>

“Women Collared for Work” Coral Springs Museum of Art	Daily from Thu., July 2 until Sat., August 15	Coral Springs	Art
What is a collar? It’s a part of the figurative work shirt, a socio-economic idiom used to show class status: blue or white. It works as a device to control your pet, represents a place to grab your misbehaving child, or signifies cornering someone in conversation. It’s also a fashion... More >>

“Off The Wall” Norton Museum of Art	Daily from Sat., May 23 until Sun., September 6	West Palm Beach	Art
The Norton Museum would like to correct a wrong. According to the museum’s recent press release, the world is full of paint fetishists who absolutely adore canvasses but turn up their buttony little art world noses at sculpture — a grosser, sweatier art that’s really more of a... More >>

Disney: The Music Behind the Magic Norton Museum of Art	Daily from Sat., June 6 until Sun., September 6	West Palm Beach	Art
Of all the secrets to Disney’s success — the belief in perpetual childhood, the ability to fix life’s problems with a healthy sprinkling of pixie dust, the uncanny ability to fit a life’s worth of baggage into one smart handbag a la Mary Poppins — the tightly held veil... More >>

"Barbie's Back and She's 50!" Old School Square	Daily from Thu., June 25 until Sun., October 25	Delray Beach	Art
If you were an American girl living in the last fifty years, you belonged to one of two groups: The pro-Barbie set, who lauded the Mattel creation for her iconic fashion sense, or the anti-Barbie crowd, who loathed the blonde bombshell for her influence on unrealistic body images. Maybe you... More >>

3 for 1 Happy Hour MoQuila Restaurant and Tequila Bar	Every week Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Sunday, 11:30am	Boca Raton	Food & Drink
Probably the best thing about the downturn in the economy is the amount of excellent food and drink specials popping up across South Florida. And the best trend in these drink specials is the three for one happy hour. Moquila Restaurant and Tequila Bar is the latest to hop on the "cheaper is... More >>

Craft Beer Tasting Angelo & Maxie's	Every week Thursday from Thu., March 26 until Thu., July 30, 6:00pm	South Dade	Food & Drink
Want further proof that craft beer is the newest liquor du jour? Take a look at the Thursday night beer tasting going down at ritzy, vintage-format steakhouse Angelo & Maxie's. A&M's comes from New York City stock - think Madison Avenue suits hoisting a rocks glass in one hand and a mouth-sized... More >>

Made in Mexico Bear and Bird Boutique + Gallery	Daily from Fri., June 5 until Sat., July 11, 7:00pm	Sunrise/Plantation	Art
When Amanda Magnetta started organizing her latest gallery show, “Made in Mexico,” she knew what she wanted. Getting it, of course, was another thing altogether. Her criteria was finite: the artists must currently reside in Mexico and create artwork that appeals to the Bear and Bird... More >>

UnderWorld Hip-Hop Night Club Purgatory	Every week Thursday from Thu., April 30 until Thu., September 3, 10:00pm	Fort Lauderdale	LGBT Events
Used to be, the only place where black gay dudes got together in any quantity was the Coliseum, and a helluvalot of those guys were on the DL. It was more than a little tense: there were beautiful boys with whom you’d really, really like to dance, but who looked like they might punch you... More >>
