Miami has always had an artistic soul. The culture and heritage of our city, like most great cities, owes a tremendous debt to the arts community. Supporting local art is something we care deeply about and we’d like to do everything we can to help the local arts community thrive. Unfortunately, too often media attention is monopolized by corporate interests and tabloid gossip – but culture doesn’t come from a focus on celebrity breakups it comes from a focus on the arts.
Below, you’ll find some incredible artists from in and around Hialeah that we hope you will check out, follow and support.
Chris Fio
My show is called THE EXPERIENCE WITH CHRIS FIO and has been described by some as an anti-interview podcast. I actually like the label. I am trying everything to bring back interesting, open conversations between people and not produce boring, stale, by the number of interviews. However, the best thing that is happening because of these interviews is that I get to learn from my guests. Read more>>

After a troubled childhood moving from place to place in Central America, my father was granted an opportunity to work in North America and brought me here three years ago. Beforehand my creativity was extremely suppressed by numerous factors the main being the Catholic church having tremendous power over life in that region… fortunately, I was able to connect with my true nature once I moved here.

I drew my first “drawing” at the age of six and painted my first painting at 15; I knew immediately what I was destined to do. At the age of 18, I went into the cigar industry, which is befitting to my current career choice being that cigars is an art form on its own. Read more>>

A few years ago I asked for a DSLR for Christmas and started taking photos of my friends as a hobby.
