Main Library, 101 W. Flagler Street, Miami – 305.375.2665

Miami Dade Public Library System

FREE, all ages welcome

On 7.7.07, combat the climate crisis and support Live Earth (a worldwide day of concerts to raise awareness of global warming) by doing 7 things to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Everglades National Park and the publication of Marjory Stoneman Douglas' The Everglades: River of Grass.

Edwin Villasmil and Elba Martinez, the artists who created the Everglades Forever installation in Main Library’s 2nd floor exhibition space, will host an afternoon of exhibitions, workshops, artmaking, music, food, discussion, and a public art installation illustrating the potential effects of global warming on Miami.

Make art with Villasmil and Martinez; see a special preview version of Everything’s Cool, a feature documentary and “toxic comedy” about global warming from Toxic Comedy Pictures and Working Films; listen to latin jazz fusion with spoken word poetry from The Oscar Fuentes Combo; snack on vegetarian and organic treats, and more!
