Where Are My Local Artists?

By Sorilyn Rosario on October 22, 2016

 

Someone told me to run away as fast as I can but somehow I ended up back here. There’s something that ties me to this land, maybe it’s because I was born here.

I spent 12 years of my life in another world, but that doesn’t mean I’m going to abandon it. That place is very much alive within me. The beautiful streets of Wynwood and galleries in downtown Miami will certainly be no match for what I have planned for Lawrence.

Though, I can’t do this all by myself. I will need a team of artists, creative geniuses looking to make a change through the arts. We will focus our energy on what we know best. We will build the foundation for an everlasting wave of beauty that will overpower the violence that has taken over the city. People will begin to come out, not in fear, but in awe to witness the spectacle that is happening around them.

The goal is to empower each other through art. Through our paintings, words and lyrics. We will collaborate to grow our team within the city, and continue to evolve from there. From hosting poetry slams, performing in clubs, and opening up galleries, we will do it all!

There isn’t a single person in this world capable of allowing us to begin something, other than ourselves. So pick up the phone and if there’s anyone you know willing to put an effort to change our community, please advise them to contact me directly. If that person just happens to be YOU, I can’t wait to hear from you.

Below you will find the links to my Twitter or personal website where you can write me directly on either one.
