Sketchy Miami is on a mission to draw a portrait of every person in Miami. Submit your photo and have a local artist sketch you. Or do the sketching yourself. Whether you're a Mona Lisa or a Leonardo da Vinci, the goal is to create a meaningful exchange between local artists and residents to document Miami's diversity and creativity.
These are some street art murals I shot this week during Art Basel. Some have been a part of the streetscape for some time and others were literally appearing before my eyes.
Here's a chance to win up to $500 in just 17 syllables. Submit a haiku about arts funding in Miami, and you could walk away with some funding yourself.
It's been ten years since Heather Klinker started Give Good Works, a thrift store and charity in Wynwood. She wanted to give women on the street a second chance. We started out with her story, but sometimes in this business one story leads to another. Klinker introduced Under the Sun's Alicia Zuckerman to Jennifer Rousseau, who candidly talked about her transformation from an addict and prostitute to a sober person with a steady job.
