Jack & Jill Center – the longest-running nonprofit provider of early childhood education in Broward County – celebrated the graduation of its fifth-grade students from its state-of-the-art Madelaine Halmos Academy (MHA) private elementary school on June 6. During the commencement ceremony, parents of each child in the 2023-2024 graduating fifth-grade class were surprised to hear that a college scholarship had been arranged for their children. The Jack & Jill Opportunity Scholarships, established through the Florida Prepaid College Plan, have been funded by long-time supporters, Steve and Madelaine Halmos. Mr. Halmos presented 13 graduates with the scholarships. These college scholarships await all these students when they graduate from high school. However, the students and their parents must do their part. Students must continue their education and stay out of trouble. If they simply do that, the college scholarship is theirs to use. To date, the Jack & Jill Center and the Halmos family have awarded 98 such scholarships to Madelaine Halmos Academy students since the program’s inception in 2022. “We are honored that long-time supporters Steve and Madelaine Halmos have donated Florida pre-paid college scholarships to our 2024 graduating class again this year and for their ongoing commitment to making a difference in the lives of Jack & Jill Center’s families,” said Jack & Jill CEO Amy Jewell. “The Madelaine Halmos Academy elementary school prepares students for success in career and life and the scholarships will propel our students for a bright, prosperous future.” “Madelaine and I are pleased to present Madelaine Halmos Academy’s graduating class with Florida pre-paid college scholarships,” said Steve Halmos. “For many of these students, they would be the first in their family to go to college. We want to help make that happen. We’re simply giving these families a hand-up, not a handout so that these students can live the American dream the way we have.” “We are tremendously grateful to receive a Florida prepaid college scholarship for our daughter Juliana and the support from the Halmos family and Jack & Jill Center,” said Dano Rolle. “This scholarship will truly make a difference in our child’s life, allowing her to continue her education in college without the financial burden.” The Madelaine Halmos Academy (MHA) is an expansion of Jack & Jill Center’s Early Education Center and debuted its new elementary school in June 2021. MHA provides a safe, academically sound and socially supportive environment for all learners. With its new building, MHA significantly extended its offerings by providing a school in the process of accreditation incorporating research-based best practices. In addition to the Florida pre-paid college scholarship for all graduates, MHA’s unique features include STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics) curriculum; dedicated, highly-skilled staff and educators with low student-to-teacher ratios; engaging extracurricular activities fostering healthy social-emotional growth and personal development; integrated classroom technology including smart boards and individual devices for each student; individualized instructional approaches; interactive, educational field trips; extended day programming (before- and after-school care and camps); daily healthy breakfast, lunch and snacks; family wraparound support programs; health services; on-site counseling and therapeutic services including two on-campus therapy assisted dogs; and summer camp experiences. MHA’s kindergarten through fifth-grade program currently serves 150 total students from high-need families, including early education and elementary school education, who benefit from the Jack & Jill education program. MHA has the capability to serve 220 students in total and is currently enrolling for the 2024-2025 school year. Since 1942, Jack & Jill Center has remained steadfast in its mission to strengthen children and families through innovative education, supportive programming and community engagement. In the past 80 years, Jack & Jill Center has served over 30,000 children and families in South Florida. Jack & Jill Center supports children of high-need working families through quality early childhood education, elementary education and family strengthening programs to ensure every child and family has the tools they need to be successful.

On May 31, 2024, Basis Industrial, a privately held and vertically integrated real estate owner and operator, secured a $39.6 million loan for construction, for a new build and for the existing refinance of its mixed-use property located at 100 Business Park Drive, Armonk, NY 10504. The project consists of a 60,000 existing square foot mixed-use warehouse and a development site where a 117,000-square-foot mixed-use building will be constructed. Basis purchased the site in spring 2023 and anticipates completing the new facility, which achieved 100% preconstruction leasing, by Q3 2025. The property will be composed of an Extra Space Storage branded and operated self-storage tenant measuring 82,400 square feet, a Sportime branded and operated pickleball facility measuring 26,550 square feet and a new warehouse facility for the expansion of Jan-Tile, measuring 8,000 square feet. Jan-Tile is the primary existing tenant at the existing 60,000-square-foot warehouse. Anthony Scavo, president and managing partner of Basis Industrial, and Ackman-Ziff Real Estate Group arranged the financing for the 36-month interest-only loan. Beach Point Capital Management is the lender. This is the second transaction that Beach Point Capital Management has financed for Basis Industrial as it also provided a preferred equity/mezzanine loan of roughly $70 million when Basis Industrial purchased four assets and refinanced two assets in Florida and Texas, totaling a 1,328,443-square-foot portfolio, in a $220 million transaction in November 2023. “Beach Point Capital Management came through again for us. They have become a valued partner in our continuing acquisition and development streak,” said Scavo. “We are pleased to have secured this $39.6 million construction loan for our mixed-use property in Armonk. Westchester County has a lack of industrial assets and very low vacancy in this asset class. By expanding our New York portfolio into this county, we are happy to provide this exceptional self-storage, recreation and warehouse facility. We have the groundbreaking scheduled for July 2024.” Basis uses its subsidiary management company, BaySpace, to manage the company’s industrial assets.

Jack & Jill Center is pleased to announce an amendment to its policy for serving meals to students under the National School Lunch / School Breakfast Programs for the 2024-2025 school year. All students attending The Madeline Halmos Academy will be served lunch/breakfast, at no charge, under the Community Eligibility Provision of the NSLP. The Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) is a non-pricing meal service option for schools and school districts in low-income areas. CEP allows the nation’s highest poverty schools and districts to serve breakfast and lunch at no cost to all enrolled students without collecting household applications. Instead, schools that adopt CEP are reimbursed using a formula based on the percentage of students categorically eligible for free meals based on their participation in other specific means-tested programs, such as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF). Any interested person may review a copy of the policy by contacting Bill Butler, Food Services Department, 1315 W Broward Blvd. Fort Lauderdale, FL 33312 and 954-463-8772.

A first in the Overseas collection with the introduction of intense green dials featuring a sunburst satin-finished centre and velvet-finished flange. A new colour for four pink gold models: chronograph, dual time, date in 41 mm and 35 mm. Versatile watches delivered with three interchangeable bracelet/straps: a pink gold bracelet with quick-release folding clasp; along with green calfskin and green rubber straps secured by a likewise interchangeable pin buckle. Intense green has been added to the dials and interchangeable straps of four new Overseas models in pink gold, a first for this collection. In perfect harmony with the spirit of travel, this new hue can now be found on the dials of the 35 mm gemset, 41 mm date, 42.5 mm chronograph and 41 mm dual time models. Water-resistant to 150 metres, each of these new timepieces is equipped with a top-quality self-winding calibre featuring meticulous finishing. The movements feature an oscillating weight engraved with the collection's emblematic compass rose. On these four models, just as on all Overseas watches, the pink gold bracelet with folding clasp is easily adjustable. It can be replaced by a calfskin leather strap or a green rubber strap, each with an interchangeable pin buckle. New dial color By endowing the dials of four pink gold models with an intense green colour, the Maison has enhanced the adventurous vocation of the Overseas collection. This new hue breaks with the classic colour codes of Overseas watches: black, silver, pinkish beige and the emblematic blue. Combining the deep brilliance of pink gold with the intensity of green, these new timepieces bring a fresh aesthetic to Vacheron Constantin's sporty-chic watches.To accentuate the intensity of this new colour, meticulous care has been lavished on the finishing touches. Against a translucent lacquered backdrop playing on depth effects, the centre is graced with sunburst satin-brushing, while the flange is delicately velvet-finished. The legibility of the models is ensured by the contrast between the gold hour-markers and hands highlighted with Super-LumiNova® and the dark dial colour. Featuring a lighter-shaded double minutes track – or a single one on the gemset model – they enable accurate readings of the minutes and seconds. The finishes of the integrated rose gold bracelets with polished and vertical satin-brushed links evoking the shape of a Maltese cross, harmoniously match those of the dials, topped by a circular satin-finished bezel. Chic yet sport This new introduction of intense green dials covers different models in the Overseas collection. It includes four references: the 35 mm gemset, the 41 mm self-winding model with date display, the 42.5 mm chronograph and the 41 mm dual time iteration. In keeping with the collection's sporting vocation, these new models with their open sapphire crystal casebacks are water-resistant to 150 metres thanks to a screw-down crown. A soft-iron casing ring provides anti-magnetic protection for the movements. These timepieces feature various calibres with High Watchmaking finishes, all self-winding with an 18K pink gold oscillating weight featuring the collection's emblematic compass rose. Robust, sturdy and beating at a frequency of 4 Hz (28,800 vibrations per hour), they have a comfortable power reserve. One watch, three faces Overseas watches have made versatility one of their most practical and attractive features. Thanks to the interchangeability of its bracelet/straps, each model adopts a different style. The four new models come with an integrated pink gold bracelet featuring a triple-blade quick-release folding clasp. This system makes it possible to achieve an up to 4 mm larger wrist circumference by stretching the last one or even two links connected to the clasp of the rose gold bracelet. The bracelet can be swapped out tool-free for a calfskin or rubber strap. Featuring the same green colour as the dial, these two wristbands feature a pin buckle that is also interchangeable without tools. From Geometry to Artistry, Vacheron Constantin annual theme A Vacheron Constantin watch is far more than merely the sum of its parts. Starting from a sketch, a geometrical drawing and its technical extensions, a whole world of shapes, colours and textures is born. The complex structures of mechanical engineering combine with design; meticulous detail gives life to grace; artisanal intelligence sparks emotions. Based on formal, mathematical study, Vacheron Constantin timepieces are thus endowed with a touch of soulfulness and elegance representing the ultimate expression of artistic talent. The classicism of the Traditionnelle collection; the minimalism of the Patrimony watches; the allure of Égérie; and the sporty-chic spirit of Overseas, all vividly illustrate this alchemy within which artistry is inspired by geometrical shapes, expressed through Vacheron Constantin's 2024 theme.

Painted when the artist was in his late teens or barely 20 years old, this masterpiece is first documented in the collection of a Venetian spice merchant in the early 17th century. It has since hung in London, Brussels, Vienna, Paris and Longleat House in Wiltshire — from where it was stolen and later recovered by an art detective Tiziano Vecellio (‘Titian’) demonstrated an astonishing talent for art at an early age. It’s said that, as an infant, he astounded all around him by painting a Madonna on a wall, using the nectar of flowers as his colours. Aware of his gift, his family sent him — aged around 10 — from their native village of Pieve di Cadore, in the Dolomite foothills, to Venice. There he would become an apprentice in the workshop of Giovanni Bellini, the city’s leading painter at the time. One can only imagine the impact that Venice — then the wealthiest, most dazzling, most cosmopolitan place in Europe — had on the boy from the provinces. Pieve di Cadore was just 130 kilometres north, yet also a world away. ‘Great men built Rome,’ wrote Titian’s peer, the poet Jacopo Sannazaro, ‘but Venice was built by gods.’ The artist’s early pictures were often intimate in scale. They also reveal — in contrast to the expressive brushwork that characterises the paintings from his latter years — a deliberate application of paint. On 2 July 2024, one such picture — the early masterpiece The Rest on the Flight into Egypt, among the last paintings from the start of Titian’s career to remain in private hands — leads the Old Masters Part I sale at Christie’s in London. It was inspired by an event recounted in the Gospel of Matthew (2: 13-23). Joseph had been warned in a dream that Herod, the King of Judea, was intent on killing the young Christ, so he promptly took Mary and the child to Egypt for safety. Titian depicts the Holy Family resting in a rural spot en route, presumably taking a break on their tough journey. Positioned centre-left in the composition, they are silhouetted against a luminous sky and counterbalanced by a receding pastoral landscape. Despite the picture’s intimate scale, the figures appear monumental — the Madonna in particular, her solid form reminiscent of that of other Titian heroines from the same period, such as Mary Magdalene in Noli me Tangere (circa 1514), now in the National Gallery in London. Tiziano Vecellio, called Titian (circa 1485/90-1576), The Rest on the Flight into Egypt. Oil on canvas, laid on panel. 18¼ x 24¾ in (46.2 x 62.9 cm). Estimate: £15,000,000-25,000,000. Offered in Old Masters Part I on 2 July 2024 at Christie’s in London Her feet planted firmly on the ground, the Madonna wraps Jesus in a protective embrace at the centre of the canvas. The pair are shown in suspended animation, in an intimate moment of tenderness between mother and son. The latter, somewhat fidgety, leans into his mother, tugging at her hair. Joseph is set slightly apart, seated on a rocky bank near the plane where the Madonna and Child sit. His hunched pose conveys a sense of exhaustion, as does his sensitively rendered, ageing face. The year of Titian’s birth is not known. It’s generally thought to have been between 1488 and 1490, meaning that The Rest on the Flight into Egypt — which likely dates from the end of the first decade of the 16th century — was painted when he was in his late teens or barely 20 years old. For one so young, he shows quite the grasp of sentiment and humanity. Both Joseph and Mary look pensive, reflecting a slight foreboding in the air. The white swaddling cloth on the latter’s knee, from which her son has momentarily been freed, alludes to the shroud with which Christ’s body will be wrapped for burial years later. The figure of Mary Magdalene in Titian’s Noli me Tangere, circa 1514, is reminiscent of the Madonna in The Rest on the Flight into Egypt. National Gallery, London. Photo: Bridgeman Images It’s worth noting also the influence of Giorgione — another pupil of Bellini’s, a decade or so Titian’s senior — who had recently pioneered a type of painting called the ‘mood landscape’. That is, a scene of human subjects in a landscape, where the latter sets the emotional tenor rather than serving merely as a background. In the case of The Rest on the Flight into Egypt, the large tree in the middle distance echoes Joseph’s pose while providing shelter to the Holy Family. The lush, verdant setting is less reminiscent of Egypt than of the places that the artist would have encountered between Venice and Pieve di Cadore on his regular trips back home. His early biographer, Carlo Ridolfi, argued that Titian showed such mastery at painting landscape that nature, ‘which had before considered itself insuperable, was now conquered’. In the early 16th century, Venice was a trade hub for dyes and textiles, offering artists unprecedented access to a range of imported pigments. It was in such a context that Venetian Renaissance painters gained renown for the vibrancy and brilliance of their colours, Titian as much as anyone. The Rest on the Flight into Egypt is dominated by primary colours. Mary wears a deeply saturated red robe. This is offset by the long ultramarine-blue cloak on which she sits, and by the bright yellow mantle worn by Joseph. It’s not known who commissioned the painting. It is first documented in the early decades of the 17th century in the collection of the Venetian spice merchant Bartolomeo della Nave — a collection which, in the words of the architect Vincenzo Scamozzi, was seen by ‘all the virtuosi of Venice’. This included no fewer than 15 Titians, as well as works by all the city’s major Renaissance painters, such as Bellini, Giorgione and Veronese. After della Nave’s death, most of his artworks were purchased by James Hamilton, 3rd Marquess and 1st Duke of Hamilton, in 1638 and sent to London. Not that the pictures remained on the latter’s walls for long: he was a Royalist who would be executed in 1649 by the Parliamentarians during the English Civil War. David Teniers the Younger (1610-1690), The Archduke Leopold Wilhelm of Austria in his Picture Gallery in Brussels, 1647-51. Oil on copperplate. 106 x 129 cm. The present work is illustrated to the right of the door at the centre of the painting. Prado, Madrid. Photo: Bridgeman Images Hamilton’s collection was acquired by Archduke Leopold Wilhelm of Austria, the Habsburg governor of the Spanish Netherlands. Leopold was in the process of assembling one of the finest art collections of his age. Alongside the della Nave-Hamilton pictures, he bought masterpieces by the likes of Hans Holbein, Pieter Bruegel the Elder, Jan van Eyck and Raphael. He owned more than 1,300 paintings and displayed them across a suite of galleries in Coudenberg Palace, his residence in Brussels. The collection was such a source of pride that Leopold asked the artist David Teniers to commemorate it in a set of kunstkammer paintings (depictions of gallery interiors, featuring artworks in situ on the walls). The Rest on the Flight into Egypt duly appears in one these paintings. The work was given by the archduke to his cousin, Philip IV of Spain, and is today in the Prado in Madrid. After Leopold relocated to Vienna in the mid-1650s, his collection travelled with him, and ended up at the Belvedere Palace. The Titian was subsequently one of several pictures looted by Napoleonic troops during the French occupation of the city in 1809. It was removed to Paris, only to be returned to Vienna in 1815 after Napoleon’s fall. The painting’s next owner was Hugh Andrew Johnstone Munro, a Scottish landowner who was among J.M.W. Turner’s most important patrons. Following his death, Munro’s collection of modern art and Old Master pictures was sold in two separate sales at Christie’s in 1878, with The Rest on the Flight into Egypt being acquired by John Alexander Thynne, 4th Marquess of Bath. The picture was taken to Longleat House, the 4th Marquess’s home in Wiltshire, where it has hung in the State Drawing Room pretty much ever since. It made headlines for being stolen in 1995, then made them again seven years later when it was found in a bag at a bus stop in south-west London by Charles Hill, a leading art detective of the day. Hill promptly returned the work to Longleat. This is a painting, then, that has been coveted by aristocrats, archdukes and emperors alike: prized for its vividly coloured scene of familial affection within the natural world. Like its subjects, The Rest on the Flight into Egypt has been on a long and eventful journey — a journey that’s far from over. Classic Week — Art from antiquity to the 20th century — takes place from 2 to 10 July at at Christie’s in London. Highlights include Titian’s The Rest on the Flight into Egypt, the rediscovered The Madonna of the Cherries by Quentin Metsys and Frans Hals’s Portrait of a gentleman of the de Wolff family. The pre-sale view opens on 28 June ML Staff. Content/image courtesy of Christies.

US Sailing’s very own Adult Director, Betsy Alison, was inducted into the Tufts University Athletics Hall of Fame this year. The ceremony took place at Gilette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts on Friday, June 7. In 1981, Alison broke barriers as Tufts University’s first female All-American in sailing, distinguishing herself as a formidable collegiate skipper in both single- and double-handed events. Her leadership as a three-year captain at Tufts was instrumental in propelling the team to a second-place finish at the College Nationals in 1981. During her college years, Alison clinched two U.S. Women’s Single-handed Championships (1979 and 1981), secured a third-place finish at the World Championships, and earned her first Rolex Yachtswoman of the Year award as a senior. Post-graduation, Alison’s sailing career soared as she earned an additional four Rolex Yachtswoman of the Year awards and amassed nine world titles across various classes and dedicated over 20 years to coaching the U.S. Paralympic team. In recognition of her contributions and achievements, she was the sole female inductee in the inaugural class of the U.S. National Sailing Hall of Fame in 2011. “Betsy was the strongest and most determined and driven athlete I have ever had the privilege of coaching,” said the late Ken Legler, Tufts’ longtime sailing coach.

This fall, internationally known design legend and founder of HOLLY HUNT and, most recently, House of Hunt, Holly Hunt will unveil her inaugural book, titled HOLLY HUNT: FEARLESS IN THE WORLD OF DESIGN — a captivating biography chronicling her personal and professional journey, published by Rizzoli New York. To be released in partnership with HOLLY HUNT, her former eponymous design brand, the book will walk readers through Hunt’s life and decades-long career, propelled by a vision for modern living and passion for design. “Being fearless in design means using intuition, putting trust in one’s vision, being open to risk and taking leaps of faith,” Hunt says. “Throughout my career and life, I’ve relied on the power of being open while staying focused on the details, building strong relationships and partnerships along the way.“ Showcasing decades of beautiful craftsmanship and design, the book will delve into Holly’s early years at HOLLY HUNT, where she pioneered a new model for showrooms filled with luxury custom furnishings. Hunt revolutionized the industry, creating furniture, lighting, and textile collections that focus on rich materiality and exacting scale and proportion, through her ability to see the “quarter-inch difference.” Over the course of four decades, Hunt set new standards for global design, opening showrooms from New York to London. Since selling HOLLY HUNT to Knoll Inc., Hunt brings her uncompromising level of quality and precision to her latest venture, House of Hunt, a boutique interior design studio she launched in 2021. The book will showcase the work of House of Hunt, including the debut of Hunt’s latest personal project: a never-before-seen modernist masterwork home in Aspen. Additionally, readers can look forward to a time capsule of Hunt’s previous homes and favorite projects, each revealed through the lens of how they brought about key life learnings, bridged one chapter to the next, and acted as the backdrop of Hunt’s life – from private pursuits to sensational galas and parties.

Women Photographers International Archive (WOPHA), in partnership with Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM), announces today highlights of the 2024 WOPHA Congress—a groundbreaking photography conference, exhibition series, and creative convening taking place across South Florida. The second edition of the Congress, titled “How Photography Teaches Us to Live Now,” presents the indelible contribution of women and non-binary photographers in contemporary art, explores the diverse ways we engage with photography in daily life, how we interpret those images, and how we can pioneer new approaches to foster photography education. Building upon the inclusive practices in photography, research, and cultural production explored in its inaugural edition—which featured dozens of speakers and presenters, hundreds of artists and participants, and millions of global media impressions—this year’s Congress seeks to disrupt the teacher-student hierarchy with a participatory learning environment including photowalks, group portfolio review sessions, exhibitions, workshops, fireside chats, and panel discussions. Artists, educators, worldwide organizations, and photography enthusiasts will join WOPHA and its partners at sites across South Florida, including PAMM, Norton Museum of Art, HistoryMiami Museum, Miami-Dade Public Library System (Main Library), Miami International Airport, Girls’ Club, and many more, with select modules available virtually as well. The events are free and open to all. The four-day creative gathering is conceptualized by WOPHA Founder and Director, Latinx art historian, and curator Aldeide Delgado. “Despite the fact that 75% of photography students around the world are women, there remains a glaring absence of academic programs specifically addressing the history of women in photography,” says Delgado. “The 2024 WOPHA Congress confronts this disparity and initiates discussions about women, photography, and pedagogy as a foundational step towards the establishment of a dedicated educational institution for the study of photographic practices, criticism, and historiography. We are also responding to the crisis in photography education demonstrated by enrollment drops over the last several years and a renewed interest in alternative and experimental teaching methods.” “We are delighted to be partnering once again with Women Photographers International Archive for the second edition of the WOPHA Congress,” said PAMM Director Franklin Sirmans. “Together at Pérez Art Museum Miami, along with South Florida as a whole, we look forward to highlighting and celebrating the momentous contributions of women artists and photographers.” Over thirty internationally recognized scholars and artists from around the world will participate in the four-day event, including Andrea Jösch Krotki, Director of Escuela de Arte at Universidad Diego Portales; Susan Meiselas, documentary photographer and President of the Magnum Foundation; Carmen Winant, writer and visual artist; Carol Damian, Professor Emeritus of Art History at Florida International University; Leigh Raiford, Professor of African American Studies at the University of California at Berkeley; Muriel Hasbun, artist and educator; Roshini Kempadoo, photographer, media artist, and scholar; Hiền Hoàng, interdisciplinary artist, and many others. Among the many topics discussed are the role of collaboration in photography and archival practices, the relevance of the Caribbean in photography history, and current photographic debates around materiality, ecology, and climate change. While the Congress will advance WOPHA’s wider global mission, it also aims to highlight South Florida’s emergence as a major center for contemporary photography, fueled by its dynamic cultural landscape, diverse population, and strategic geographic location. The 2024 WOPHA Congress contributes to South Florida’s ongoing artistic renaissance and its growing reputation as a global destination for the arts by establishing the region as an international center and meeting place for modern and contemporary photography and critical conversations around the role of women in photography. Another highlight of this year’s Congress is the launch of theWOPHA Institute—the first dedicated institution that offers conferences, educational courses, and experimental workshops led by renowned experts in the field of photography to establish an academic program that challenges patriarchal norms and amplifies the voices of women and non-binary photographers. Partnerships with leading South Florida-based and international arts and photography organizations including PAMM’s Caribbean Cultural Institute, Green Space Miami, El Espacio 23, The Betsy Hotel, Girls’ Club, Norton Museum of Art, Miami International Airport, Contemporary And, and Rencontres Photographiques de Guyana are expanding WOPHA’s local and global footprint. These partners will facilitate a vibrant and collaborative program of photography exhibitions, artist residencies, and studio visits as part of the 2024 Congress. Additionally, please mark your calendars for our2024 WOPHA Congress Media and Partner Summer Preview, where we’ll be unveiling themes and discussions in advance of the 2024 WOPHA Congress. The event will take place from11:00am to1:00 pmonJune 26thatThe Betsy Hotel in Miami Beach. A formal invitation for this summer’s event will follow. The 2024 WOPHA Congress is co-presented by Women Photographers International Archive (WOPHA) and Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM), and organized by the WOPHA team: Aldeide Delgado, Francisco Maso, Co-Founder and Creative Director, and Amanda Bradley, Associate Curator of Programming.
