While Romero Britto has come to be a household name for fostering a message of happiness and hope with his signature pop art style, it’s not every day there’s a whole event dedicated to him.
On Aug. 20, 2015, South Florida PR firm Durée & Company client Coral Springs Museum of Art will pay tribute to the artist with its carnival-themed “Blame it on Rio” event benefiting the Museum’s community and education programming. Here are just a few of the many reasons you should attend:
- Meet the artist himself: Attend the VIP cocktail reception for your chance to meet Britto. Representatives from the Consulate General of Brazil in Miami will also be at the reception.
- Mouthwatering drinks and flavorful food: Create your own caipirinha with the help of mixologoists from Leblon Cachaç Feisty Bull will be providing the bites.
- The art: Painting, digital prints and sculptures from Britto will all be on display.
- Community: Your admission fee to this Broward 100 – Celebrating the Art of Community event will benefit innovative programs for veterans and children with special needs, as well as Family FunDays.
