Bring a blanket, pack a picnic basket and arrive early to get a front row lawn seat as you enjoy cinema on the beautifully manicured grounds of SoundScape Park. Entering its eleventh season, the Cinema Series at SoundScape Park features free weekly movies curated by the City of Miami Beach Department of Tourism and Culture. The films are projected onto the 7,000 square foot projection wall of the New World Center through a striking use of visual and audio technology.

The seven-month series begins Wednesday, November 4 at 8 p.m. with Swing Vote (2008), a comedy film about an entire U.S. presidential election determined by the vote of one man.


The City of Miami Beach is investing in the revitalization of Miami Beach commercial corridors with an experiential cultural artist residency within vacant spaces. Open House will activate empty spaces in Miami Beach commercial districts by attracting, retaining and supporting the revitalization of our artistic community. 

Privately owned vacant spaces will serve as free workspaces, studios, exhibition space and communal areas that encourage dialogue and collaboration. In partnership with participating property owners, Open House will provide the space and support necessary for peer to peer collaborations to emerge and breed new art forms that benefit the City’s entire artistic community.

Live Inventory is a 3D animation by Leo Castañeda, an award-winning Miami-based artist. Combining game-engine techniques with 3D-scan models from The Wolfsonian's collection, Castañeda brings artworks to life, as machine-age items from the exhibition A Universe of Things: Micky Wolfson Collects mutate into surreal virtual entities bound within uncanny display cases.

In his mind-bending video, Castañeda dissolves the frontiers between objects, characters, and space, probing the impact of digitization on the evolution of everyday designs and our preconceptions about the human experience.
