Mayor Matti Herrera Bower - The People’s Mayor.
Miami Beach Mayor Matti Bower is a "people" person. She loves interacting with and helping people. Read our interview with the Mayor and learn how a Cuban girl, who came to U.S. in the early 1950's, ultimately became the Mayor of Miami Beach, which has never had a woman mayor or a Hispanic mayor. What an accomplishment!! Mayor Bower's family journey to the U.S. adds another chapter to the inspirational stories of American immigrants. When Matti was 11 or 12, the family moved to New York and later to Miami Dade. READ THE FULL STORY ONLINE. Mayor Bower hosts the Miami Beach Women's Conference March 26-27.

Emma Pineiro, Deconstructed Pampa, 2010
Extended Through May 18 Emma Pineiro: Terra Firma Daniela Montana, Curator
In Terra Firma, serene horizontal bands intercepted by abrupt dips and dubious perches find themselves in a progressively fragmented landscape, as Pineiro’s representational abstraction raises salient questions pertaining to the national ethos, a collective memory and the sacred mysticism of the Pampas.
Pineiro is a painter, printmaker and sculptor, who despite her gentle manner has been a force in the vanguard; she was a first female to be awarded a professorship in the Art Dept. at the University of Buenos Aires; she and Ana Mendieta became the first Latinas to receive Fellowships from the National Endowment of the Arts; and she was the first Latina to open an artist-owned gallery in Noho, NYC, through which she contributed to shaping the Latino Art Movement. Pineiro -- whose work reflects the influence of Masters with whom she studied including Eugenio Daneri, Krishna Reddy, Bob Blackburn, Tony Smith and William S Hayter – has been exhibited and collected by cultural institutions throughout the world.

Manuel Carbonell. Modern Master Sculptor An important collection of maquettes, sculptures, bas-reliefs and monumental sculptures by Cuban Master Sculptor Manuel Carbonell. His commissioned work as the creator of two of Miami’s most important landmarks, “The Tequesta Family” at the Brickell Avenue Bridge and “El Centinela del Rio” at the entrance of the Miami River in Brickell Key, denotes his more classical and figurative style. The works exhibited at the Gallery are modern, where Carbonell searches for the essence of the form and the absence of detail while giving a sense of monumentality to his work.
We invite you to visit our gallery to see an important collection of the works of Carbonell ranging from maquettes to monumentals and the paintings and sculptures of Mauro Arbiza.
