  • A Determined Commitment to Coral Conservation Official Collaboration: World Foundation for Peace & Sustainability Partners with Reef Revival Art Show

    In the wake of an unprecedented hurricane season, the urgent need to champion environmental awareness and innovation has never been clearer. This season’s storms have underscored the vital role that healthy coral reefs play in protecting our coastlines and communities. In response, we are proud to announce an official collaboration between the World Foundation for Peace and Sustainability (WFPS) and the Reef Revival Art Show , a groundbreaking initiative designed to raise awareness about coral reef preservation while supporting the mission of Global Coralition . Reef Revival Sculpture Design by Layla Love An Elevated Arts & Cultural Showcase The Reef Revival exhibition will feature a stunning array of cultural events and art installations, emphasizing the critical importance of reef regeneration and restoration. With lifesize sculptures designed for underwater deployment, this exhibit will spotlight Global Coralition’s innovative conservation efforts. Layla Love , who focuses on pairing art with purpose has been supporting Global Coralition since 2018, is the Creative Director of Reef Revival, in which she will curate a diverse lineup of artists, scientists, and performers from around the globe, merging creativity, science and advocacy to inspire meaningful action. Their aim is to premiere this exquisite showcase in New York in 2025, inspiring and expanding a global movement for coral preservation. The Perfect Partnership The collaboration with WFPS is not just strategic; it is rooted in shared values and a vision for a better future: Alignment with Sustainability Goals: WFPS’s commitment to the UN’s Sustainable Development Goal of Life Below Water aligns perfectly with Global Coralition’s mission, underscoring our joint dedication to environmental preservation. Inclusivity: We are focused on partnering with the local and indigenous communities and have mapped out 50 strategic sculpture locations worldwide, with a special focus on low-income island communities. Together, we prioritize equity and justice, ensuring that our initiatives support those most vulnerable to environmental degradation. Cross-Cultural Collaboration: We recognize the importance of preserving local heritage and cultural wisdom in conservation efforts. Our partnership fosters respect and collaboration across diverse communities. Art as a Transformative Tool: Both WFPS and Global Coralition understand the power of art to transcend barriers and communicate complex ideas. By leveraging art, we engage a wide audience and inspire advocacy for environmental stewardship. Sandeep J, Shah - Founder of World Foundation of Peace and Sustainability Sandeep Shah Embraces Arts & Culture Sandeep Shah, a humble genius and founder of the WFPS, is an ardent strategist and a philanthropist for over 20 years. Sandy believes in the philosophy of creating connections and merging it with his business acumen to build ascending steps towards a better world. He has a strategic mind and a heart of gold; he received his degree from Harvard Business School and built his success through his ability to identify key issues and create relations with those who are most innovative in solving the greatest challenges we face in the world today. Highlights from Ankah Marza ’s Interview with Sandeep Shah We discussed Sandeep’s vision for WFPS and his partnership with Global Coralition and Layla Love for the Reef Revival Project. This is a distillation of the interview. Q: What is your vision for WFPS and its place in the world? What actions and insights do you hope to inspire through the various projects that WFPS supports? A: This Foundation has been developing over the last few years and we now have many important partners in the corporate and advocacy fields. In 2025, we will be initiating the full public campaign to introduce our platform and ideas to the world. Our intention is to educate and inspire people from all over the world to see their interconnectedness with our planet and each other. Then slowly and consciously, to evolve our actions on a personal, corporate and international level, so that we progress in a way that better sustains our precious planet and lives. There are actions that every single person on the planet can make that move us towards this better future. The WFPS will fund and partner with a very broad range of people and projects to bring this inspiration and change on a truly global scale. At first, the Foundation will focus on two of the eleven pillars that make up our advocacy platform, Technology and Arts & Culture. I feel that communication through the arts and cultures can have a significant impact on individuals. We learn from stories, and a good artist is a great storyteller. They can get the point across in a deep and relatable way. So the Foundation will seek out these artistic and cultural innovators and leaders from across the globe and build the advocacy for personal awareness and actions. Everyone is involved in our planet’s future and the Foundation wants to expand the web of interconnectedness. Q: Why were you drawn to work with Layla Love and Global Coralition? What do you envision as the Reef Revival project’s scope and impact? A: I saw Layla’s “Rise of the Butterfly” art exhibit in New York City and was impressed by the creative power of using her art to support a broader social issue. When I began discussing the Reef Revival project with her, she was so positive in her ideas for making an impact that I was inspired and saw a perfect fit for the Foundation. In terms of interconnectedness, the ocean truly connects us all - and the coral reefs are such an important part of that vast ecosystem. Global Coralition understands this and has developed incredible programs, using art and science and local community involvement to help protect and restore those environments. For the Reef Revival show, I see it going all over the world! The Foundation wants everyone included in the education and inspiration. It will start in New York and then we look to the next few cities and will adjust the show as needed for the locale and the people who will be viewing it. I am sure that Miami will be high on the list for the next shows - Miami has a very close relationship with the ocean! Q: If you were to capture your vision of the Foundation in just a few words, what would they be? A: To act in selfless service to humanity and our precious Mother Nature.

  • Villanueva & Cunha Claim Victory in Wire-To-Wire Wins

    In wire-to-wire fashion, it was Eli Villanueva and Amanda Cunha who clinched victory at the 2nd Florida Adaptive Open. This win gives Villanueva consecutive titles, making him the only male competitor to ever win the Men's Overall Division in the event's history. Cunha, a Hawaii native who lost her vision during her junior year of high school, delivered two impressive rounds with scores of 76-74 (150), enough to outlast the field by three strokes. “I made sure that I kept my head on. Going into today’s round, I just needed to make sure that I minimized casualties.” Cunha stated. When asked about what this win meant to her, she stated “I can’t even explain it. It’s so amazing to be able to win an FSGA event.” Cunha added, “I came here last year, and this year I came back stronger and better, so I’m really excited for myself and where this new journey can take me.” Ryanne Jackson took second place with scores of 78-75 (153), while Abigail Davis secured third with rounds of 79-84 (163). Villanueva, who has limited range of motion in his left arm due to breaking his elbow in the military, posted the only even-par round of the entire tournament, which positioned him with a one-shot lead after the first round. His final round 73 (+3) led him to victory, maintaining a three-stroke lead over the rest of the field. When asked about his final round, Villanueva stated “I stayed patient, got some key up and downs on hole nine and ten, and stayed even par through 15.”  While this wasn't his first time in the spotlight, this time around was more meaningful. Villanueva stated, “This one was extra special because I had my wife out here. She wasn’t able to make it last year, but having her out here with me this year made it that much more special.” Issa Nlareb made a charge for the championship title during his final round, moving up the leaderboard three spots and securing second place overall with rounds of 74-72 (146). In his closing remarks, Villanueva acknowledged the entire Innisbrook staff for their efforts in maintaining the course conditions, especially in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene and Milton. In addition to our two overall champions, 11 division winners were crowned across the field.

  • Field of Dreams by Billie Zangewa

    Field of Dreams is a solo exhibition featuring new and recent works by artist Billie Zangewa. Across her body of work, Zangewa creates intricate collages composed of hand-stitched fragments of raw silk. Her use of this material l speaks to the transformative nature of the work itself. Silk, as the “leftovers” of the chrysalis process, is a material created through transformation; it’s what remains and is illustrative of Billie Zangewa’s creative process of metamorphosing life’s challenges and complex emotions into art. Both the artist and the material share the process of transformation. On View: Saturday, November 23, 2024 — Sunday, April 13, 2025 The works in Field of Dreams are a departure from Zangewa’s recent figurative compositions that center on themes of domestic life. During the pandemic, Zangewa shifted her gaze to a ponderance of the human condition and the interconnectivity of all living things. These multimedia works also call attention to the sociopolitical challenges facing societies today and the way these influences impact individuals and whole communities from one generation to the next. On view for the first time in this exhibition, Zangewa introduces beveled, antiqued mirrors designed to echo the organic shapes of the silk portrait, creating an immersive and reflective experience, both literally and metaphorically. Billie Zangewa Field of Dreams is organized by SITE SANTA FE and curated by Brandee Caoba. Billie Zangewa: Field of Dreams is made possible through the geneous support of SITE SANTA FE Board of Directors, SITE SANTA FE Exhibition Fund, Suzanne McFayden, The Rubio Butterfield Foundation, and Rosina Yue.

  • Coup's Takeaways: HEAT Stay Attached With Threes But Jokic, Denver's Offense Proves Too Much

    1. Few teams have been a tougher opponent for Miami over the past six seasons than the Denver Nuggets and it didn’t get any easier when Jimmy Butler turned his ankle in the first quarter. Hot start for Denver, three straight threes and plenty of transition work – five of their first seven makes were Nikola Jokic assists – as they opened 17-6, but the story of Denver games doesn’t start until Jokic sits and Denver goes deeper into their rotation. When Jokic is on the court during these early days of the season his team has been +8.1 per 100 possessions in Net Rating, but when he sits they’ve been -22.0. So while Denver was missing Aaron Gordon – Peyton Watson stepped in to provide a facsimile of Gordon’s defense – as one of Jokic’s favorite targets, their offense was running as you’d expect it to run, Denver taking a 40-27 lead through the first quarter. The very moment Jokic left the game, though, Miami went to zone and immediately went on a 10-0 run, Bam Adebayo getting inside as some threes started to fall. Jokic soon returned to steady the ship – he played 21 of 24 first-half minutes – while the HEAT stayed attached with Herro and Duncan Robinson hitting three after three in the face of Denver making over half their attempts from distance. Nuggets up 71-60 at the break after they found Christian Braun in the corner on a last second transition play, Jokic a +21. Haywood Highsmith started the second half in place of Nikola Jovic, just as he did Wednesday against Phoenix, while Pelle Larsson subbed in with Butler out. The results weren’t any different, Denver opening the third much like they did the first this time with a 15-4 run as the lead grew to 22. HEAT kept hitting threes to give themselves a chance but it was a slow grind, Jokic getting to his triple double midway through the period. Back to zone with Adebayo on the bench, Denver’s defense starting to get a little loose on the other end, giving up a pair of back cuts. Down to 14 by the end of the period after 11 more Herro points, non-Jokic minutes due early in the fourth. With Jamal Murray (28 points on 17 shots, some stiff-arm jumpers late) on the floor this time, those non-Jokic minutes didn’t go quite as well as Denver stretched the lead back to 18, the zone no longer flummoxing as the climb got steeper. Back to 14 soon after off a pair of Denver turnovers, but it was short lived as a Watson jumper in the heart of the zone put it back to 19. Good thing Robinson kept firing away, another three and another steal bringing it all the way down to 13 again, another steal and Herro (24 points on 21 shots) three after that and it was down to 10. No give up, not even close, another Robinson three (No. 6 for him, No. 19 for Miami) putting it back to seven. Denver’s never really slowed down, turnovers their only weakness in this one, as they ran prevent offense with Murray and Jokic running clock the rest of the way. Denver finishes up, 135-122, as Miami heads to Minnesota. 2. We end up saying some version of this most every year but you can’t ignore how many issues Jokic gives Miami’s defense. He’s a walking mismatch wherever he goes – as tough as Adebayo plays him, he’s giving up quite a few pounds in that matchup – which limits Miami’s schematic options a bit when it comes to defending the pick-and-roll, and along with Luka Doncic nobody else is better at beating the HEAT’s structure with the pass. Miami wants to build a wall to block off the paint, Jokic passes right over the top of it. It's all been said before, but what else can you say when Jokic finishes a +26 to go with 30 points (11-of-13 shooting), 11 rebounds and 14 assists? Sure, maybe the weak spot in this Colossus of Rhodes was the five turnovers, the HEAT tipping some of his more daring passes, but that group is far past getting rattled when their main guys are on the floor. As Miami got close late, Jokic responded with play after play, he and Murray running 18-20 seconds off the clock each possession and finishing with a score. Denver finished with an Offensive Rating of 133.7, likely far better with Jokic on the floor, and that’s the game. Every team in the league has been searching for a counter to him for years but the truth is there aren’t many beyond his teammates not converting on all that playmaking (Denver shot 18-of-34 from deep themselves). He may do it in his own way but there haven’t been many more dominant players in league history and there’s no other reason for why the Nuggets have been such a tough beat for Miami in recent times. 3. If you’re wondering exactly how Miami nearly made this a clutch game after falling so far behind in the third, the answer is threes and turnovers. The zone helped a bit with the latter, several clunky Denver miscues leading to Miami runouts, 11 steals on 17 forced turnovers in all. Miami hasn’t gotten to this part of their game quite as often as they had in preseason but clearly it remains a focus. While Herro may be driving the halfcourt offense as well as he ever has, those pick-six plays remain a crucial component of the HEAT’s efficiency. The threes told the story, though, especially when Denver was matching every two-point shot with an answer, 23-of-27 at the rim and 6-of-11 in the upper paint. For the most part 20-of-43 from deep would qualify as the best shooting night of the season for many teams once the 82 are done, and sure enough 20 makes would have been second-best for Miami last year. That’s how special the shooting was to make this close, one after another after another, and while Herro remained hot it was Robinson who closed the gap late, 6-of-10 from deep on his way to 20 points on 12 shots. Robinson started the first couple weeks a little slow from the outside but there was never any serious worry as long as the body was right. Robinson is one of the best shooters in franchise history, possibly one of the best in league history once all is said and done, and the mechanics never really waver. Even the one prolonged slump of his career, a few seasons back, he answered with 40 percent shooting in the back half of that same year. It doesn’t all look quite like it used to, fewer handoffs with Adebayo these days despite a few more minutes together tonight, but the shot is the shot. Even if it wasn’t enough tonight, it was the umpteenth reminder of just how quickly Robinson can change a game. By ML Staff. Courtesy of NBA. Words by Couper Moorhead .

    The 2024-2025 Tennis on Campus season is in full swing, and USTA Florida is eager to watch the program flourish.

With over 15 schools across Florida actively participating, this is set to be one of the best Tennis on Campus seasons yet.  Tennis on Campus is collegiate club tennis, where school’s club teams in the state work with their USTA Section to play organized and competitive matches against one another. Many of the participating club teams host event s throughout the season, creating exciting opportunities for competition and engagement. These tournaments are hosted monthly, sometimes more frequently, with points being earned each time.   As teams compete in various events, those accumulating the most points will earn the chance to represent USTA Florida at the prestigious Tennis on Campus National Championships. Additionally, USTA Florida will host the Tennis on Campus Sectional Championship at the USTA National Campus in Lake Nona on February 22 and 23. The winning team from the Sectional will receive an automatic bid to Nationals, further raising the stakes for this key competition.  USTA Florida’s involvement in this season is particularly focused on growth and expanding opportunities for players. One of the significant goals for 2024-2025 was securing an extra bid to the National Championships, a goal that has been achieved, meaning USTA Florida will now have 3 TOC teams at Nationals.  The organization is also investing more in its teams, allocating additional budget space to support teams attending sectionals and working on expanding the number of teams. There’s a focus on mentorship as well, with experienced team presidents offering guidance to help new clubs join the Tennis on Campus program.  USTA Florida is committed to creating pathways for passionate players to continue their involvement in tennis beyond campus competitions.

  • Lincoln Road Becomes Miami’s Sculpture Park- Just in Time for Art Week Miami Beach

    Lincoln Road , the iconic outdoor shopping, dining and cultural destination in the heart of Miami Beach, is a lot more than a vibrant retail hub; it is a year-round epicenter of art and culture with groundbreaking cultural programming and more galleries than any other neighborhood in the city. This December, as part of Art Week Miami Beach, Lincoln Road is presenting new exhibitions by world-renowned sculptors and artists in nearly every corner of the district, including the instantly recognizable “ XO World ” sculpture by Daniel Anderson , an Instagrammable moment with visual artist Rubem Robierb ’s life-size butterfly wing sculpture, and private showings of Beauty, actor and artist Jordi Mollà’s  gallery. Lincoln Road’s 2024 Art Week statement piece will be “ XO World,”  a sculpture inspired by the universal game of jacks by contemporary abstract sculptor and painter Daniel Anderson, in partnership with the City of Miami Beach. The work will be unveiled on Tuesday, November 19, during a press conference on Lincoln Road, marking Anderson’s first Art Week Miami Beach exhibit (and first in Florida). The artwork – spanning over 12 feet high and 24 feet long, made from 20,000 pounds of stainless steel – debuted as the “XO World Project” at One World Trade Center in NYC on the 40th anniversary of World Peace Day (September 21, 2021) with its sister sculpture, “XO Play,” at the Oculus. The “X” of the sculpture, a jack (aka “love jack”) with crossed arms, signifies “love” in sign language and represents the four pillars of equality, unity, peace and love. The “O” is represented by a globe, bringing humanity together as one.  Lincoln Road will also present “Dream Machine” by visual artist Rubem Robierb. The 10-by-13-foot larger-than-life butterfly wing sculpture represents the materialization of our innermost wishes. The interactive art invites viewers to place themselves between the sculptural wings and imagine a trip to a place where dreams come true, creating a metaphorical space that speaks to the power of our minds and the law of attraction. Robierb debuted “Dream Machine” onboard the Celebrity Edge  cruise ship before displaying it in NYC’s Tribeca Park in partnership with Taglialatella Galleries . The sculpture will also be revealed on Tuesday, November 19, during a press conference on the 900 block of Lincoln Road, where it will remain on display through April 2025. Through December 31, Lincoln Road will also house Beauty, a pop-up gallery featuring artwork by internationally known actor, director and writer Jordi Mollà  (best known for his starring roles in Blow  and Bad Boys II ). The gallery, located at 1655 Meridian Ave., will showcase a range of Mollà’s works from 2020 to the present, featuring acrylics, charcoal and mixed media. Inspired by Miami’s vibrant culture and classic art traditions, Mollà explores the concept of beauty, celebrating life and nature while reinterpreting classical techniques. “Lincoln Road has been a lively cultural hub in the City of Miami Beach for over six decades, home to more galleries and artistic offerings than any other pedestrian street in the world,” said Anabel Llopis, executive director of the Lincoln Road Business Improvement District. “As we continue to curate dynamic experiences that celebrate creativity, these activations and installations are essential to amplifying this vision. The BID and the community are committed to preserving Lincoln Road’s legacy as a year-round leader in Miami Beach’s cultural landscape.” In addition to being a haven for artists, Lincoln Road is also a hub for the performing arts, including the New World Center , home of the New World Symphony , and the Colony Theatre , home to  Miami New Drama . It also has more than 15 art and design galleries, including Oolite Arts , FIU Miami Beach Urban Studios , Robert Fontaine Gallery , Romero Britto Gallery , Avant Gallery , Lumas Gallery  and Lik Fine Art Gallery .  For more information, visit lincolnroad.com  or follow them on Instagram .
