When the recession started, it took down virtually every part of the economy: housing, jobs, credit - you name it. And it hit “luxuries” such as the arts especially hard. Fundraising became a nightmare and artists scrambled to find patrons.
WinterFest, from The Florida Dance Association, producers of the renowned Florida Dance Festival, made its debut this past 2008 holiday season in Miami and Miami Beach. At the festival, South Florida dance fans had the option of taking a class or simply enjoying one of the many public performances hosted by the New World School of the Arts.
It is always exciting to hear of new events taking place in South Florida. Even more exciting is learning of such a success that a second of the kind will take place the following year. Last year, South Beach hosted several parties and special events at a number of different venues around Miami and the Beaches for the first South Beach International Animation Festival (SBIAF). In addition to film screenings, the Festival hosted art exhibits, hands-on demonstrations, seminars, and workshops about the newest technology and creative software available to animators and students. “The South Beach International Animation Festival (2008) was a great experience. It is an opportunity for students that want some exposure, and an exceptional place to meet other artists and create invaluable contacts,” said 2008 Silver Flamingo winner Juan Pablo Sans (Picture This) of his participation in last year’s Festival. This year’s second annual South Beach International Animation Festival promises to be as exciting an experience as the last. With the participation of exceptional talents like Academy Award winner John Canemaker and animation legend Bill Plympton, this 2009 venture into the world of animation falls under a can’t-miss category in the Miami calendar of events.
