Continue with GoogleStop finding out about it the week after it closed.
Every Thursday: gallery openings, museum shows worth the ticket, live music in rooms you have never been in, theater that is not a touring jukebox musical — and a real plan for Art Basel when it rolls around.

A new show at PAMM, Jekyll & Hyde in the Gables, and a free studio afternoon
- Anina Major: The Sacred Mangrove Pérez Art Museum Miami · Downtown Opened October 8. Ceramic and woven work about mangroves and the Bahamas, in a room that rewards slowing down. The Basquiat show is one floor up on the same ticket.
- Jekyll & Hyde Actors’ Playhouse at the Miracle Theatre · Coral Gables The season opener from a local company, in a house small enough that every seat is close. Runs through November 1, so this is not a rush, but the good Saturday seats go first.
- Bakehouse Art Complex Allapattah edge of Wynwood · 561 NW 32nd St Working studios for a hundred-plus artists in an old bakery. Walk the halls, knock on open doors, buy from the person who made it.
Also this weekend: III Points at Mana Wynwood, Oct 16–17. Separate passes per night.
This is the email. All of it.
Three picks, each with what it is, what it costs, and when to go. The free one is flagged. Every venue is pinned on the map further down so you can save it before it closes.
Sample issue. Shows and dates are real. The newsletter is new, so this is the first issue as it will go out.
A Thursday night you planned in four minutes
The email lands Thursday morning and you screenshot one line. At 6:30 you are at PAMM because Thursday is the late night; you see the mangrove room and the Basquiat floor and you are back over the causeway by 8:30. Saturday you catch Jekyll & Hyde with someone who swore they did not like theater. Sunday you walk the Bakehouse halls and leave with a print. None of it required a scroll.
How a show gets in
We are not a listings dump. Here is the bar:
- We saw it, or someone we trust did. We tell you which.
- Dates and prices verified with the venue the week we send. If a show closes early, we say so.
- Free is flagged every time. A full weekend on zero budget is always possible here.
- No pay-to-play. Nothing gets in because a venue asked.
Into something else too? Add it.
Check as many as you want. It is still one email on Thursday.
Before you hand over your email
Is this only for people who know a lot about art?
No. Every pick explains what it is and why it is worth your time. No art-world vocabulary required, and no pretending you have read the artist statement.
How much of this costs money?
Plenty of it does not. Gallery openings are usually free, most museums have free days, and we flag every free entry so you can build a whole weekend on zero budget.
Do you cover Broward too?
Yes — it is a separate edition. Check both boxes at signup if you move between them.
Is this just Art Basel coverage?
Art Basel gets dedicated coverage when it comes around, but the other fifty weeks are the point. The small, year-round scene is where the good stuff is.
Will you sell my email?
No. One newsletter, one sender, one-click unsubscribe.
Something good opens this week. You should know about it.
One email, every Thursday. Free.
Free forever. One click to leave. We would rather you go than ignore us.
