screen shot from Perry Milou's "Pucker Up Project"
Attended the “Pucker Up Project” at MILOU GALLERY, Wynwood Art District, 17NW 36th Street, Miami, FL on Thursday night and was most impressed with all the positive, creative and compatible energies of everyone involved in this worthy project. Pop-Artist, Milou Perry is not only a very talented and prolific artist, he and his partners are embracing the power of creative networking. The Pucker Up Project is a fun and interactive art experience that combines original paintings by Perry and original kisses (lipstick kiss-painted on paper) from contributors that Perry adds to his canvas – with all proceeds from
the project benefiting the UM Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center.
Thursday’s event also included a runway fashion show by Rocco Donna, ‘Pucker Up Martinis” and everywhere you looked, cameras, models and designers. Best gallery night out in months …and, tonight, I’m looking forward to attending ‘Le’ Cirque Reinvented’, the 1st Anniversay celebration of Norelkys (Noor) Blazekovic’s dynamic, “IRREVERSIBLE MAGAZINE”– Both events…hosted by URBAN ICONS Marketing

A thoroughly enjoyable Saturday in Miami… got myself up and off to South Beach in time to attend the standing-room-only presentation on Edible Landscapes by Gabriele Marewski of Paradise Farms, Homestead, Florida. Hope to create some new images from this South Florida Findhorn-like farm!
Had missed the Tuesday night opening of ‘Atlantis in the Midst of Myth’ an exhibition of bronze sculptures by Oxana Narozniak at Miami Beach Botanical Garden, so got to see this and several other sculptures after the Edible event.

Back home for a quick lunch with my daughter and then off again with my friend, Paula to the Locust Project in Miami’s Wynwood art district where we attended a LegalArt presentation by Stuart Horodner, curator of the Atlanta Contemporary Art Center. Horodner’s direct, no nonsense and witty talk covered practical and passionate aspects of the Creative Life and Career of an artist. The crowd here was hungry for real world information that could help advance artistic careers. Horodner easily met this need through stories of his experiences as an artist, gallery owner, consultant, curator and writer. He reiterated, for me, something that I heard/read over and over: follow your passion. create the work you love and don’t give up. Yes, it does take time to establish yourself as an artist – just like any other career. As a parting gift to the artists, he challenged us all to create a work of art, a single image that most imparts the essence of our work, of who we are as an artist…that he will post on his blog. A brilliant networking opportunity that I am definitely looking forward to!
VERY USEFUL INFO FOR ARTISTS: “I’d Rather Be In The Studio” Alyson Stanfield’s excellent book on business and marketing your art.
