Susan S. Buzzi of Tamarac, FL received an Individual Artist Grant from The Broward County Cultural Division to present “The Kindness Project”.  She and Dr. Jeff Pickens held an  intergenerational and multi-disciplinary community workshop, resulting in an art exhibit opening at the Tamarac Community Center on Saturday, May 27, 2023. The Rickie Report shares the details and some sneak peeks.

The goal of “The Kindness Project” is to promote wellness, mindfulness and empathy through art in Broward’s diverse communities 

 

 

 

Dr. Jeff Pickens, Commissioner Elvin Villalobos, District 3 of Tamarac, Susan S. Buzzi

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Buzzi goes on to explain, “The unnatural isolation transformed itself into an unexpected camaraderie through zoom meetings and classes; hence, the birth of the “The Kindness Project”.  The article, my documentary and this programming concentrates entirely on the absolute need for compassion, empathy and kindness in our world today.  The concept is so simple; yet essential to survive and thrive”. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The word clouds are comprised of responses from 4 age groups in the community when asked in an anonymous survey, “How do you describe kindness?”.  The results are interesting, similar in some cases, but above all, optimistic!

 

 

 

Word cloud by participants in workshop ages 16 – 20

 

 

 

 

As most now function in some form of normalcy post Pandemic, the impact, unfortunately, still lingers for some – both physically and psychologically.  Connecting with one another has become so important – for everyone … and it is certainly a pleasure for Buzzi to present this programming in her city of Tamarac and with her mentor Dr. Jeff Pickens during National Mental Health Awareness Month. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The exhibition will feature between 50 – 55 pieces completed by participants in the community workshop, Buzzi’s students at Atlantis Academy and her own artworks. 

 

 

 

 

 

Buzzi tells The Rickie Report, “I am so very proud of my students’ efforts and am hopeful that we can all learn to inspire each other, be present and be kind”.  

 

 

The bottom line – kindness never goes out of style and we can always share a smile!

Kimberly Perry’s foresight has created a gallery “go to” in the Delray Beach and Boca Raton area, when she opened POSH during the COVID pandemic!  As other galleries around the country closed, she not only opened a new one, engaged emerging artists and national artists, but thrived to expand to a larger space which is open 7 days a week.  The Rickie Report celebrates Kimberly’s vision and all that POSH offers.

Kimberly Perry, Artist and Gallery owner of POSH

Kimberly Perry, wife of New York Knick’s General Manager Scott Perry, has created an art oasis to support emerging artists and art lovers, at the same time helping charitable organizations with their missions. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Kimberly stepped out in faith to support her fellow artists and opened a 4,000 square foot gallery where she now represents over 50 talented and emerging artists with a wide range of art styles.  The local communities and visitors thoroughly enjoy and support this fun and contemporary art haven.  Especially during the pandemic, people were delighted to be able to enter a space that promoted beauty, vibrant colors, optimism, good energy, and a happy atmosphere.

 

 

 

 

Kimberly is not only the owner of the gallery, but she is an artist in her own right.  Trained by her father, DeVon Cunningham whose work is displayed in the Smithsonian Institute Portrait Gallery, Kimberly  knew at the early age of 5 that she wanted to pursue art as her career.  She specializes in ocean scenes, landscape, abstract and her beloved glass mosaic hearts.

 

 

Kimberly’s   message   to   aspiring   business   owners:

“Be   Encouraged” !

 

 

Kimberly tells The Rickie Report, “The business marketplace is flourishing for industry leaders that: work hard, think outside the box, use excellent financial planning, and offer outstanding customer relations”. She points to the most obvious question, “Can your product or service spread a little joy into your customer’s life”?

 

 

Posh Art Gallery is always looking for new artists to add to their collection.

He has contributed to numerous award-winning national and local advertising campaigns. Recognition for his work includes every possible industry award including Clios, Tellys, Addys and the Art Directors Club Award.

 

 

“Tomatoes” by Barry Seidman

 

 

After a distinguished career in advertising, Seidman started to devote more of his time to fine art photography, using his vast techniques and knowledge of lighting and design as a foundation. This led to various solo and group exhibitions, all while still connected to the advertising business. 

 

 

“Tulip” by Barry Seidman

 

 

 

 

Seventeen years ago, Seidman, and long-time business partner and wife, Mary Ann Kurasz, relocated to Palm Beach Gardens, Florida where he built a studio to focus on his fine art work. He also maintains a studio presence in New York where he continues to shoot for advertising clients. Seidman has exhibited in solo, and group shows both in New York City and Florida. In 2012, Seidman published a photobiography titled New Eyes, a spectacular collection of his fine-art photography. Beginning in April, his work will be on display at the Palm Beach International Airport at their “Journeys” exhibition. His work is held in many public and private collections worldwide.

The City of Pompano Beach Cultural Affairs Department continues its Artists in Residence (AiR) program with April artist, Shanna Woods. Shanna shares her attuned sense of self-awareness in her Art of Acceptance workshops.  Having gained tremendous acclaim as the choreographer of the award-winning short film “Brown Ballerina”, she loves teaching movement meditation to everyone who is seeking a deeper connection to self.  The Rickie Report shares the details of  events, some sneak peeks of her images, and information to become an AiR. Some events require pre-registration.

SHANNA    WOODS 

 

 

A distinguished panel of judges selected Shanna and the other new artists to be part of our first “graduating class.” This dynamic and diverse group of artists will be in residence though June, and each will be presented as an “Artist of the Month,” during which time they will showcase their work and create unique programs to attract art lovers to BaCA.  At the culmination of the residency, AiR artists will share their new artworks in an exciting group exhibition.

 

 

Shanna performed internationally with Deeply Rooted Dance Theatre, Cleo Parker Robinson Dance Theatre, Jubilation Dance Ensemble, and Olujimi Dance Theatre. And her extensive dance studies and performances have covered a vast variety of forms including ballet, tap, Afro-Haitian, Salsa, the ring shout dances of the Congo, Senegal, and many other styles.

 

 

During her residency, Shanna will be conducting several Art of Acceptance Workshops, where she  will incorporate ritual dance movements, meditation, journal work and more. “Art of Acceptance encourages one to look within, appreciate their body as it is with intention to shift paradigms as they see fit,” she explained. “Daily affirmations and self-love are strongly encouraged.”

Saturday, April 8 | Meet Shanna at the Art of Acceptance – Self Care Workshop Series: Kemetic Yoga

 

1:30- 3:00 PM

 

 

 

 

Art of Acceptance creates, shifts, disrupts colonial ways of learning. How do we relearn to accept our bodies, how do we heal, how do we pass on legacy? This workshop is rooted in accountability, daily reflection, risk management, self-love and community structuring.

 

 

The Art of Acceptance is geared toward working with mothers with young children, mothers with teenage children, mothers with adult children, as well as women independently. The goal is to create an atmosphere that is a safer space where women can support each other, pass on the legacy of rest, and restoration through self-care by implementing tools that are accessible at home and in local stores.

 

 

 

 

 

Thef Sema Paut Neteru translates to “Moving into Union in the company of Gods and Goddesses.” Created by Dr. Dja Ashby and Dr. Muata Ashby, this Kemetic yoga practice enhances awareness of the connection with your mind, your spirit, your body and your inner world in a way that celebrates your autonomy in cultivating inner strength and peace.

 

Wednesday, April 19 |  Meet Shanna @ Lyrics Lab

8:00- 10:00 PM

 

 

 

 

 

 

Shanna Woods will deliver her Manifesto at Lyrics Lab the popular open mic night.  During her residency at BaCA, she will complete a new dance work entitled “UNaccepted”, which explores her experiences of sifting through her past to become the mother she desires to be. Most people think in order to meditate you must sit with your legs crossed with a completely clear mind. That is not true. Movement meditation creates an opportunity to move through various positions with a mindful and slow pace.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Saturday, April 22 | Meet Shanna at the Art of Acceptance- Self Care Workshop Series: Mango Butta

1:30- 3:00 PM 

 

 

 

 

Each participant will get an opportunity to infuse their own jar of whipped mango butter according to their needs. Shanna will share the importance of self-care and how moisturizing your body is a flawless act of self-care.

“Scout” by Jane Lawton Baldridge

 

 

What inspired this show: This exhibit is inspired by a visit to this year’s Art Basel down during December’s Miami Art Week. We were delighted, energized, and creatively stimulated to create ART OUT OF THE BOX (AOOTB) as our next Exhibit theme.

We encourage our members to consider producing new works that are unexpected & surprising coming from artists whose work has become familiar.
