Bernice Steinbaum – The Bernice Steinbaum Gallery first opened its doors in New York City in 1977. Considered a pioneer for galleries showcasing women artists and artists of color the gallery remained in New York City for 23 years. The Bernice Steinbaum Gallery moved the center of its operations to Miami, Florida in the year 2000. The gallery boasts representing two Macarthur “Genius†award winner; Pepon Osorio, and Deborah Willis, five Guggenheim, multiple National Endowment Winners, two Annenberg fellows, among other awards. In addition the gallery regularly organizes group shows which travel to various museum facilities, an unusual activity for a gallery which occurs primarily because of the director’s own academic art history background. The global climate of today prompts the gallery to be a microcosm of this multi-cultural, visual environment. www.bernicesteinbaumgallery.com
The Deering Estate at Cutler – Located along the edge of Biscayne Bay, the 444-acre Deering Estate at Cutler is an environmental, archeological and historical preserve.

The Estate offers daily tours of the historic houses – the Stone House and Richmond Cottage, as well as tours of the lush natural areas where fossil bones have been found as far back at 50,000 years. The Estate is part of the Miami-Dade County Park and Recreation Department, which manages the Estate on behalf of the State of Florida. The Deering Estate is also a cultural and educational facility that features classes and programs for children and adults, teacher training and research opportunities.
