ART AT FAIRCHILD
Ongoing Exhibitions
Stroll the lush grounds at Fairchild and take in the Garden's current edition of Art at Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden. Design at Fairchild: Sitting Naturally showcases a diverse collection of new works by seven internationally renowned artists commissioned by the Cristina Grajales Gallery in New York City. Inspired by Fairchild’s tropical landscape, each artist has created two sculptures for sitting to be exhibited amid the backdrop of exotic palms, cycads, flowering trees, vines, orchids and other foliage. The artists are Gael Appler, Sam Baron, Pedro Barrail, Christophe Côme, Michele Oka Doner, Sebastian Errazuriz and John Paul Philippe. On view concurrently with Sitting Naturally, Chamberlain at Fairchild (pictured), highlighting four of John Chamberlain’s sculptures produced from 2008 to 2010. Up to fifteen feet high, the works are constructed from silver, green, and copper-colored industrial aluminum, which has been looped and flexed into quirky biomorphic forms that make an interesting correlation with the lush plant life at Fairchild Garden. Open Monday – Friday from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday from 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Admission is $25 for adults, $18 for seniors, $12 for children 6-17 and free to children 5 and under and to Fairchild members.

Martinez (Carbonell nominated), New Theatre veterans Evelyn Perez and Javier Cabrera, and making her New Theatre debut, Julissa Calderon. Performances are Thursday - Saturdays at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 1 and 5:30 p.m. Tickets are $35 and $40. Pictured: Javier Cabrera, Evelyn Perez and Ricky J. Martinez; Photo by Eileen Suarez.

Angelique Kidjo
Friday, May 31 at 8:30 p.m.
Hot on the heels of her PBS special (which featured the dancers from FELA! on stage with the artist) and her new album release, the internationally acclaimed recording artist Angelique Kidjo returns to the Arsht Center for one performance only! Kidjo’s internationally celebrated repertoire includes collaborations with artists including Carlos Santana, Peter Gabriel, Alicia Keys, Josh Groban, Joss Stone, and more. Her 2008 album, Djin Djin, won the Grammy for Best Contemporary World Music album, and her new album Spirit Rising, which was featured on the PBS special. The album showcases Kidjo’s breathtaking voice and exuberant spirit, which can only be experienced at one of her magical live performances. As The Boston Globe said, Kidjo’s appeal cuts across not only genres, but also generations. Kidjo proves she can rattle the rafters. Tickets are $35 to $65.
