They can, and do, tap into that creative id that eludes far too many of us and bring back truly astounding creations. There will be even more talent on the walls and walking through the Moran Gallery at ArtServe this Saturday night, when the annual City Link Artfest, featuring the Best of the Gallery exhibition, returns. Here, you'll be able to meet the artists, see their work and wonder why you can't even so much as scribble out a stick figure. The opening reception begins at 7 p.m. and the show hangs through Sept. 25. ArtServe is located at 1350 E. Sunrise Blvd.
Admission is free.
And bring your inner artist. Whether or not he's allowed out, that is. For his work on murals jointly created with street children, gang members, AIDS victims and others voiceless in mainstream culture, Cortada won the coveted Millennium International Volunteer Award from the U.S. State Department. That's not even the biggest thing that has happened to the Miami artist this year. Cortada created a mural with participants in the World AIDS Conference in Durban, South Africa, and 10,000 copies of a poster he designed were distributed.
