Virtual SOCAM Social
Date: Wednesday, August 26, 2020
Time: 5–6pm
Location: Zoom
We're playing host to the Miami-Dade Gay & Lesbian Chamber of Commerce's kickoff Virtual SOCAM (Support Our Cultural Arts Members) Social! While you sip a '20s-themed drink, chief librarian Frank Luca will take you back to the heyday of the Jazz Age, exploring the creative pursuits of musical composer Holland Robinson and illustrator Frank Macoy (Mac) Harshberger. Longtime partners in every sense of the word, the couple opened a studio together in New York City, publishing Holland's musical compositions and celebrated Art Deco children's books illustrated with Mac's artwork.
At the top of the hour, prepare BACARDÍ Lime Mojito Creative (recipe below) in a short mixology course, then enjoy the presentation with Frank. Stay tuned until the end for a special raffle with prizes.
Free and open to the online public ages 21+ (please drink responsibly)
