BANANAS

I love Cuban food.  The first time I ate Cuban food was in a strip mall in Goose Creek, SC just outside Charleston …no kidding.  With a strong military influence in the area before the shut down of the military base and the naval yard, international influence on food was pretty common.  The best Cuban food I ever tasted was in Miami and is responsible for my love affair with plaintains.  This next Call offers you an opportunity to sample some of the best food in the world during your time at this opening…

Check out this Call for Entries for the Tomorrow Stars exhibit and The Drawing Show exhibit at Verge Art Miami Beach.  This fair runs concurrent with Art Basel Miami and takes only 25% commission.  Take a look…
