Join us for a live reading, author talk, and conversation with Olivia Almagro, April 30 6:30PM at The Copperbridge. A novel that moves through memory, displacement, and the rebuilding of a life. Christmas in April, by Olivia Almagro, follows a family who, amid the Mariel exodus, leaves behind everything they have known to begin again. Through an intimate and sustained narrative, the story explores connection, loss, and the ways identity transforms when shaped by a new place. On this occasion, the work will be presented in a close and conversational format, with the presence of the author. The evening will include a reading of selected excerpts, followed by a conversation with the audience and a book signing. We invite our community to join us for this gathering and to take part in a conversation that continues beyond the page. 🎟 RSVP recommended. 🔗 Link is in our bio. 📍 Copperbridge Foundation, 12500 NE 4th Ave, North Miami.

The Community Art Workshop held at The Copper on Saturday, led by Lola Heasley, created a space where creation was a form of listening—connecting us to nature, memory, and one another. It was a quiet, suspended afternoon—filled with small gestures, shared stories, and moments that reached something deeper. There were tears. There was silence. And a kind of beauty that’s almost impossible to name. Lola’s work doesn’t just stay on the canvas—it becomes something you feel. In that shared space, something truly shifted. Thank you to everyone who held this moment with us. Stay close

Join us this April 25 at Copperbridge, as we open a space for observation, creation, and connection. Copperbridge aligns its past exhibits on recycled materials and the environment with this moment in outsider art. We are joined by Lola Heasley, a naturalist from Enchanted Forest, whose practice works with flowers, leaves, and organic elements. She will guide us in creating from what is essential—from what we find, gather, and often overlook. This collage workshop begins not with printed images, but with the living—texture, natural color, and the simple gesture of gathering and transforming. There is something special about working with what the earth gives us—without forcing, just listening. At Copperbridge, we have always believed that art is a way to reconnect—with surroundings, with process, and with one another. We invite you to share this moment, creating with intention, not pressure. Saturday, April 25, 10:00 AM – 1:00 PM, Copperbridge Foundation, 12500 NE 4th Ave, North Miami. Bring natural elements you find, or work with what we provide. RSVP at the link in bio.

North Miami Centennial Trolley Tour lead by Council man Kevin Burns , which visited highlights like the Copperbridge Foundation headquarters, the Czech Club, the W.J. Bryant Elementary School building, and MOCA, was truly amazing. We had over 55 participants, all immersed in North Miami’s rich history, architecture, and culture. The day concluded with a fascinating history lecture on Griffin Park Estates and the La Victoria project, and the importance of the Miami Design Preservation League mission . @lavictoriamiami @mdpl1976 @vote4kevinburns @memearte @geo.darder @nomicra @mocanomi @noelsuarezartist_miami @volunteercleanup @sarahleddick
