Pajaro Project 

Artist Rolando Chang Barrero has created engaging community art programs with organizations like the Adrienne Arsht Center and Fiesta del Pueblo. He says: “My iconic image of a ‘Pajaro/ Bird’ has been translated and interpreted in many forms.” Join him to create your own Pajaro collage, finished with details using acrylic paint markers. 

The painter and poet Florine Stettheimer (1871 – 1944) is an icon of the Jazz Age whose friends included Marcel Duchamp and Georgia O’Keeffe. Learn about Stettheimer’s life, as well as her sophisticated and whimsical artwork, which is included in the exhibition At the Dawn of a New Age: Early Twentieth-Century American Modernism. Speaker Stephen Brown is a curator at the Jewish Museum, New York, where he has organized major exhibitions on modern artists, including Florine Stettheimer in 2017.

JJ & The Florida Oranges is a folk/Americana quintet; formed from friends in the neighborhood of Lake Worth Beach, passing the time during the Covid 19 Lockdown. With instruments like banjo, fiddle, cello, four-part harmonies, and lively percussion, JJ & TFO quickly became the life of any gathering they were attending. Today, the group continues to delight the crowds at events, local bars, and cocktail parties with folk-singalong covers of favorites ranging from classic country/Americana, to modern indie-folk, to even reimagined top-20 pop tunes.
