There are two art-themed events going on this Wednesday, Sept. 1, in Miami, a few blocks away from each other. Both are worth checking out. And, they’re both free.
First up is the Mystery Dates Kickoff Party, happening at Area 31, 270 Biscayne Blvd. It’s hosted by the Museum of Contemporary Art and is a promo event for MOCA Shakers’ Mystery Dates fundraiser in October. Tickets to Mystery Dates will be on sale at the kickoff pary, which runs from 7 to 9 p.m., and is free. There will be free Grey Goose cocktails. RSVP for entry by emailing ilondji@mocanomi.org.
After (or before) the party, head to the River of Art Showcase and Party, at Bleu Moon Resto-Lounge, 1717 N. Bayshore Drive (inside the Doubletree Grand hotel). It’s a celebration and fundraiser with both musical and visual art. There’s no cover and if you text BLEUMOON to 41513, you’ll get a free drink. The party kicks off at 6:30 p.m., and there will be performances by musical artist by Macarldie, visual artists Greg Pitts and Pauline Bonilla and dance artist Myka.
