About: Did you know? Miami Beach's coast is constantly eroding and requires expensive imports of sand from around the world to maintain its existence.

Expect historians, artists, city officials and civilians all gathered to connect over this little-known issue.The public forum and performances will unfold inside of a public art installation in Collins Park: thousands of pounds of sandbags stacked into the construction of a Greco-inspired amphitheater.
This event is part of "Sand: Amphitheater, Theater, Arena," a project by ArtCenter's Art in Public Life resident Misael Soto. A project in collaboration with city of Miami Beach.

Deco: Luxury to Mass Market
Location: The Wolfsonian-FIU, 1001 Washington Avenue
About: "Art Deco" has come to evoke a set of styles that emerged in the 1920s and 1930s out of aspirations to fuse art and industry into a modern language of design. From exquisite handcrafted objects to streamlined household appliances, the items on display in Deco demonstrate how American designers adapted a style associated with European luxury to the demands of industrial mass production. Through decorative arts, product design, architecture, and graphics from the Wolfsonian collection, the exhibition traces Art Deco's origins in Europe, its migration to the United States, and its evolution into a fully American style-perhaps most spectacularly realized on Miami Beach in the 1930s.
Deco: Luxury to Mass Market is made possible by Diane and Alan Lieberman and the South Beach Group, with the support of Jamestown, L.P., and Saul and Jane Gross and Streamline Properties.

Location: The Bass Museum, 2100 Collins Avenue
About: Tune Yer Head presents new and recent work by Texas born, LA-based artist, Aaron Curry. Though Curry gained early recognition as a sculptor, making a "return" to painting in 2015, his practice is deeply rooted in the painterly. The exhibition at The Bass surveys the diversity of his practice in terms of materiality and form, highlighting the interplay between painting, sculpture and collage. Curry's work reads as a dialogue with the artists and creative producers that have influenced him throughout his life.
