\n<\/b><\/h2>\n

The tenth anniversary season of SOMIartwalk concluded on March 9.\u00a0 <\/span>Over the last six months, from 6-9p the area business district opens its doors to artists, and visitors enjoy established and emerging visual and performing artists on the sidewalks throughout town until 10p.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Unlike other communities which have multiple art galleries and host art night events, South Miami relies on responsive establishments and its tree-lined sidewalks to host artists.\u00a0 <\/span>Students from area schools join in the event and participate in the \u201cSOMI SIDEWALK SHOWCASE,\u201d featuring the visual and\u00a0performing arts.<\/p>\n
