City Green Live: Cosmic Charlie Cosmic Charlie was born in the musical Mecca of Athens, Georgia. From its summer 1999 inception, the band has been swiftly cementing its reputation as a band that puts a unique and personal twist on the Grateful Dead catalogue, a Dead cover band for folks that are ambivalent about Dead cover bands. Rather than mimicking the Dead exactly, Cosmic Charlie chooses to tap into the Dead's energy and style as a foundation on which to build. The result is healthy balance of creativity and tradition. City Green Live is a Friday night "must-do" for music lovers! This free concert series will feature local, as well as nationally-known musicians, on select Friday nights from May until September. Food and drink is available on site, or bring your own. Only alcoholic beverages sold on site are allowed.

Animalia The list of endangered species grows with each passing year. Enrique de Molina imagines new animals and new forms by taking aspects of known animals and "collaging" them into a new "beast." Many of these are presented in the format of a trophy. Hoping to dissuade hunters from killing and mounting jungle and forest creatures, he creates these trophies as beautiful substitutes. He also personifies these mythical animals dancing, gesturing, and indulging in human pastimes, drawing the line closer between people and animals. This exhibition is being shown, courtesy of Bernice Steinbaum Gallery in Miami. Free Admission |
