EAST, Miami previewed its forthcoming Art Room with two private exhibits, complimentary Pernod Ricard drinks, and passed bites. Read more here. EAST also hosted “Parental Advisory: Explicit Images – A Hip-Hop Event and Photography Exhibit” where snaps by Timothy White, Danny Clinch, Janette Beckman and Clay Patrick McBride were on display.  Run-DMC’s Darryl “DMC” McDaniels (pictured below) took the stage to run through his famous repertoire.

The #RitzRainbow (pictured in the feature image) lit up the night sky and arced across Biscayne Bay. The installation is an extension of Yvette Mattern’s Global Rainbow and was presented by Lionheart Capital and The Ritz Miami Beach Residences.
