Stay On It: A Block Party with Music, Poetry, Dance, and Art
Date: Thursday, April 20, 2023
Time: 6–9pm
Location: The Wolfsonian–FIU @ 1001 Washington Avenue
Inspired by artist Roberto Lugo's mural on the façade of The Wolfsonian–FIU, Stay On It will transform 10th Street into a block party with live performances, an art opening, and Caribbean-themed food trucks. Produced by IlluminArts, the night's live performance features an all-star lineup including Grammy-winning baritone Kenneth Overton, conductor Jacomo Bairos, the Peter London Global Dance Company, and the Miami Sound Choir. Also on tap for the evening: the opening of Call and Response, a four-day pop-up installation of commemorative work created by artists from the Everglades Correctional Institute in response to Lugo's mural.
Stay On It is presented as part of the City of Miami Beach's monthly Culture Crawl and is made possible with support from the Humanities Edge and The Wolfsonian Public Humanities Lab.
