Here’s a Good Reason to Celebrate

by Katherine Lynch on July 23rd, 2008

This Saturday is a busy day. Yesterday, I posted about an event being held at Robb & Stucky. Although that event will be fabulous, its quite the hike for those of you down in Miami. Here’s one for you. This Saturday, the 26th of July, you are invited to One-One-Two: Imagine Miami Reborn.

This year marks the 112th year of Miami’s incorporation, and that is the reason for the celebration.This event, to benefit Camposition, will include performances and exhibits by the Who’s Who of Miami’s performing and visual arts scene. It celebrates over a century of artists who have swept the area and created a city that is  progressive, innovative and represents a melting pot for ideas and cultures. The event will take place on Saturday, July 26th at 9:00 pm at The Josi Marti Building located at 801 SW  3rd Avenue in Miami, home of 801 Projects (whose mission is to advance, promote and provide a space for contemporary and artistic expression and engaging the public with socially conscious art and arts education). The cost to attend is $10.00 and goes to benefit Camposition’s 08-09 season.  

Miami became incorporated on July 28, 1896 about 1000 yards from where this year’s activities will be taking place. 344 residents voted to incorporate the city and on Saturday, 344 residents will reenact that scenario reinforcing Miami’s vision and dedication to the arts scene.
