Living in big cities is something that almost every young person wants to do, for at least some time in their life. This is where the energy of youth can take on the energy of a place, and there are usually some radical mistakes, and radical successes along the way. In a city like Miami, where the cultural moment has been at a peak for some time, being young and artistic can have enormous drawbacks. It’s not an easy life at all, and it takes time and attention to maintain a life that’s meant for loftier things.
Visitors often come to the city to enjoy the clubs, spend time at a Miami hotel , and enjoy the luxuries of the town. There are plenty of opportunities to enjoy art, but they might not always be aware of them. For these reasons, groups like the Collins Park-based Cando Arts Co-Op is a great idea. It speaks to the impulse of the artists to get their work out there, and it also serves to pool resources together, so that the daily details can be minimized. It’s also a pretty spectacular gift to the locals and tourists in the city, where they can experience lots of work by local artists in one location.
