Fashion is the most powerful art there is.
– Blair Waldorf
Four area boutiques have been exhibiting “fashion is art” as part of the SOMIartwalk© held on the second Friday of the month from October through March.
Art night visitors walking through our town center get to appreciate the visual and performing arts while also experiencing the uniqueness of our charming retail/restaurant district. And along the sidewalks in town both established and emerging artists exhibit their work as part of the SOMI Sidewalk Showcase. Students of visual and performing arts programs from area schools participate in making the event a very special family-oriented ‘hometown’ Friday evening event. Members of the South Miami SrHS JROTC serve as Artwalk Ambassadors, assisting visitors to our town center.
