Bakehouse Art Complex is holding their 2nd Annual Family Day from noon to 4 p.m. on April 22, 2012 at 561 NW 32nd Street, Miami. The event costs $5 per family and is free for members of BAC. Parking is free.

The event includes indoor and outdor events for folks of all ages—live jazz by Nestor Zurita Quartet, food trucks (Miami has some good ones), treats by PopChips and Vitamin Water Zero.

Artists will be there to help kids as they creat their own artistic works.

You can also help by dropping off donations before the event. They need; empty tin cans, old clean t-shirts, coroplast signs, coffee cans and yarn. Drop stuff off any day before the event.

I do not like green eggs and ham….well, really, who does? But everyone loves Dr. Seuss. I want to have more children just so I can read them those books and Onessimo Fine Art in Palm Beach Gardens is having a very special exhibit of the art of Dr. Seuss. Dr. Seuss’ Secrets Of The Deep, is a new exhibition of Seuss art.  This is in celebration of the publication of The Lost, Forgotten And Hidden Works Of Theodor Seuss Geisel, a book collecting Geisel’s art that is the most comprehensive to date.

There is an opening reception on Friday night, October 21 from 6 to 9 p.m. with comments by Bill Dreyer, the national curator of the Dr. Seuss Exhibit. The next day, Saturday, October 22, from 12 to 4 p.m.is the family reception. Bring your kids dressed as characters from Seuss books (or in Halloween costumes!) and they can win prizes. You grown ups are strongly encouraged to dress as well.

I love exhibits like this—for the family, introducing kids to art, dressing up like giant fish and cats wearing towering multi-colored top hats? What is NOT to love.

Onessimo Fine Art is located at 4530 PGA Boulevard, Palm Beach Gardens, just west of I-95 and on the South side of PGA. People in Broward, it isn’t THAT far! Please RSVP at contact@onessimofineart.com or 561-355-8061.

Civilian Art Projects in Washington D.C. is having a reading combined with visual projections, and a live soundscape THIS Saturday, August 13th at 6 p.m. Danielle de Picciotto, artist and Berlin club scenster will read from her memoir, The Beauty of Transgression. Alexander Hacke of Einstürzende Neubauten (probably the only industrial band that matters) will perform those live electronic soundscapes for your amusement as well.

The event will set you back a whopping $5. So be there. They also hint that they just MIGHT play an unreleased Neubauten film collage Picciotto edited for the group’s thirtieth anniversary tour last year.

Again. FIVE BUCKS. It is in DC so I am sure there will be lots of members of Congress there too. Civilian is located at 1019 7th Street NW, Washington, DC

While I was obsessive compulsively trying to post every word, photo and video I shot at Art Chicago I missed the opening of artist Dan Tague’s exhibition The Kids are Alright…I think. Anyway, on the 23 he is giving a talk at the closing reception at Civilian Art Projects in Washington D.C.  (1019 7th Street NW, Washington, DC 20001

This is the last day of the exhibit.
