Welcome back from labor day weekend -- feeling the momentum from recent Coconut Grove and Coral Gables art strolls, Wynwood is ready to shut it down with a flood of new Fall openings! I highly recommend these gallery walks: it's a great way to get involved with your local art community, network and be inspired while enjoying a cocktail or two.

Before the monthly "Second Saturday" begins, there are plenty of workshops, lectures and openings popping up during the week. The Adrienne Arsht Center will be hosting the first of many art fairs to come this season. So put on your walking shoes this Sunday and brace yourself for the "Fall for the Arts Festival!" The fair offers free admission and there will be a tremendous amount of art, music, performers and seminars.

Also, if you love fashion, celebrate style and design at Miami's "Fashion's Night Out." This is a global event and its coming here, this Friday night! *Participating designers are donating to associated galleries from your purchases.

Enjoy your week,

The Artcards Team
