Aqua Art Miami has a new boss
Art Miami LLC, parent company of Florida's longest running premier
contemporary and modern art fair Art Miami and producer of five of
America's most respected international art fairs, announced today that
it has appointed Jennifer Jacobs as Director of Aqua Art Miami. Art
Miami LLC acquired the fair at the conclusion of the 2012 edition.
"I
am happy to announce that Jennifer Jacobs has joined us as the new Fair
Director of Aqua Art Miami. Based in the Northwest, where the spirit of
Aqua originated, Jennifer has extensive background in the visual arts
and fair management, and has been closely aligned with Aqua since its
inception as an exhibitor, visitor and supporter. I am confident she
will champion the fair's artistic mission to furthering emerging and
cutting edge galleries and be a leading force in driving our success as
we begin Aqua Art Miami's new chapter," said Nick Korniloff, Art Miami
LLC, Fair Director and Partner.
"I
am thrilled to build upon the successful reputation of Aqua", said
Jennifer Jacobs, Aqua's new Director. "Over the last eight years Aqua
Art Miami has been recognized within Miami Art Week as a showcase for
young dealers and galleries with strong emerging and mid-career artists,
all amidst a fun and relaxed environment. Pairing that program with new
and increased opportunities around marketing and audience services, I'm
extremely excited to develop a vibrant and expanded future for Aqua in
2013 and beyond."
Prior
to joining Aqua, Jacobs consulted and directed with the development
and launching of new art fairs on the West Coast, and brought collectors
and museum groups to art fairs and events throughout the world through
her company The Jacobs Group LLC. Prior to that, Jacobs served as the
Director of Development for the Portland Institute for Contemporary Art
(PICA). Based out of Portland, OR, Jacobs will also assist in exhibitor
recruitment efforts for the 2013 editions of CONTEXT Art Miami, Art
Southampton, and the 2014 edition of Art Wynwood.

Campello gets a mention!
Not me, but my daughter Elise:
The cast is relatively small for TMP's usual productions with only nine actors and an accompanist. Many of the actors portray two or three characters throughout the five musicals. While all the actors handled their roles skillfully, as usual, some were more enjoyable to watch than others and maybe it is just a matter of preference of acting styles. Regardless of what acting style you prefer, Elise Campello, Cherity Harchis were standouts among the cast.Read the whole review here.
