September ended with another Pop-Up Gallery Weekend on Main Street held on the 26th and 27th.
On Friday evening, local talent Joe Villa entertained the crowd, and on Saturday night, Venezuelan pianist Manuel Gamez and his friend, Phillips Cachi, a percussionist from New York, played once again.
Over 15 artists participated with representation from Miami Lakes artists such as Hermie Ibarra, and new up-and-comer Alinna Brigette who used the Pop-Up Gallery weekend for her first art show.
Art was not only seen on canvas but also through Barbie Ojeda’s visual body paint art where she demonstrated her skills painting a model during the Saturday show.
Complimentary appetizers were provided by Main Street restaurants’ Italy Today and On the Border as well as by Costco Wholesale.
Pop-Up Gallery Weekend is an event that brings the community together on Main Street to appreciate regional art, culture and entertainment. It runs monthly on weekends inside a vacant store which turns into a gallery filled with painters, photographers, mixed media artists, and potters/scuptors.
The next scheduled Pop-Up Gallery Weekend is October 24-25 at 6709 Main Street.
