Date: Thursday, June 18, 2026
Time: 6–9pm
Location: The Wolfsonian–FIU, 1001 Washington Avenue & Miami Beach Cinematheque, 1130 Washington Avenue
We're partnering with the City of Miami Beach and neighboring institutions to present free monthly evenings of à la carte culture. Just hop on the complimentary trolley service stopping near participating locations (or grab your bike or comfy walking shoes!) and take in the best of South Beach's art, performances, screenings, and tours. Plan your night as you like it—choose a couple of spots, or make the full rounds, 6–9pm. Visit mbartsandculture.org for details and route.
For June's Culture Crawl, explore the story of synthetics—from their origins as engineered materials to their lasting impact. Presented with Clean Miami Beach, the program begins with a 6:15pm tour led by chief librarian Francis Luca and interpretation specialist Molly Channon, highlighting objects tracing material innovations in the modern era. The evening continues at 7pm with a hands-on workshop, in which participants will create ocean-inspired artwork using found objects while learning how plastic pollution shapes Miami's coastal environment.
