This is also the last day to view the exhibition Arturo E. Mosquera: The Big Bang exhibition.
Vibrant colors, confident brushstrokes, and rhythmic compositions embody the paintings of Arturo E. Mosquera. When looking at the work, the texture of the paint and the saturation of the pigment come together to form a symphony of sounds in the mind of observer. Whether drawing inspiration from the natural world as in his Pandemic Landscape Series and The Grand Teton National Park Series, from Michealangelo’s Sistine Chapel, from Comic Books, or from other artists that he admired, Mosquera created a visual language that is uniquely his own. This exhibition features over 50 paintings by Mosquera, and also includes some of the artists’ drawings, sketchbooks and works featured in the Mosquera Collection.
Arturo E. Mosquera (1982 – 2022) Born in Memphis, Tennessee, lived/ worked in Miami, FL. He attended Manchester College, Connecticut, where he concentrated in printmaking. Mosquera became interested in graffiti in his teens and his work, attached to this mode of expression, touches on dreams, death, love, beauty, friendship, and the imagination.
Thank you to Arturo F. and Lisa Mosquera for supporting this exhibition. This exhibition is generously funded by Funding Arts Broward.”

List of Films:
Disappearing Giants: What Happened to Florida’s Goliath Groupers? (Ocean First Institute, USA)
Goliath Grouper, once relatively abundant in U.S. waters in the 1890s to early 1900s, experienced extreme overfishing thereafter, approaching extinction by the1980s. Fishery closures were put into place that set this species on a trajectory to recovery for 20 years. However, despite these protections, populations seem to be on another decline. Our team, led by Dr. Chris Malinowski, is on a mission to investigate these declines in offshore waters of Florida.
Deep Look: A Coral is Born
When the moon, sun and ocean temperatures all align, an underwater “snowstorm” occurs. Corals put on a massive spawning spectacle by sending tiny white spheres floating up the water column all at once.
Wild Hope: Whale Shark Homecoming (Geoff Luck, USA)
Watch as a fishing community in Gujarat, India embraces a cultural shift and initiates local conservation efforts to protect whale sharks after years killing thousands of the world’s largest fish. The documentary highlights whale shark slaughter in 2001. An NGO, a local religious leader named Morari Bapur, and Indian law inspire locals to pivot and rally around local pride protecting and honoring whale sharks rather than killing them.
The Human Side of Plastic, Babacar Thiaw (Andrew Lynch, Ben Ayers, Rush Sturges, USA)
Rooted in his love for the ocean, Babacar Thiaw, founder of Senegal’s first zero-waste restaurant, turned his passion and dedication into action, creating a movement reaching beyond the coastline of his hometown in Dakar, Senegal. A picturesque, captivating short film filled with inspiration and hope for our planet.
Caleb – Beyond the Bite (Nicola Gerrard, South Africa)
Years after having lost his leg to a shark, Caleb confronts his disability, his vulnerability, and his fears, and explores his paradoxically deepening connection with the ocean– and with sharks. Now he must choose between a self-image as victim, or survivor. In swimming among them, he experiences a paradigm shift, recognizing his place in the world.
Souls (Ian Mun, Singapore)
Rarely do you get six world-renowned ocean legends in the same room and on the same panel but suggest a dive trip and they will be on that boat. Inspiring stories from award-winning underwater photographers on their first experience diving into the ocean, changes they have seen in their lifetime, and yet, they remain hopeful for future generations.

Still We Rise: The Art of Addonis Parker OPENING NIGHT
2025-06-13 18:00 - 21:00 | The ARC, 675 Ali Baba Avenue, Opa-locka, FL, 33054, United States
Still We Rise Exhibition
On view at The ARC from June 13 through August 30, 2025
Still We Rise invites viewers to explore the rich tapestry of Addonis’ work which confronts social injustice and celebrates Black culture. His art encompasses a diverse range of mediums, styles, and themes while reminding us that art is not only a form of expression but also a tool for change, a means of preserving memory, and a source of hope.
Experience the breadth and depth of Parker’s artistic range whose pieces speak to both personal and collective memory—transforming pain into beauty, silence into voice, and oppression into liberation. Parker’s practice is rooted in the belief that art is not only a form of self-expression, but a tool for social change.
A dynamic series of public programs—including panel discussions, musical performances, and spoken word events—will accompany the exhibition to further contextualize Parker’s work and amplify the historical narratives embedded within it.

The Museum of Discovery and Science Presents Sea Turtle Beach Walks
2025-06-13 20:00 - 21:00 | Lago Mar Beach Resort & Club, 1700 South Ocean Lane, Fort Lauderdale, FL, 33316, United States
Join MODS for an evening adventure, on select nights in June and July, at partner Lago Mar Beach Resort & Club (1700 South Ocean Lane), for a fascinating sea turtle presentation followed by a guided walk to the beach to search for nesting loggerhead sea turtles. While sightings aren’t guaranteed, witnessing a nesting loggerhead sea turtle is a breathtaking experience you won’t forget!
The loggerhead turtle, so named for its large head, is the most abundant species of sea turtle that nests in the United States. Juvenile and adult loggerheads live in U.S. coastal waters, but many adults that nest on U.S. beaches migrate from neighboring nations like the Bahamas, Cuba, and Mexico. Loggerheads can live to be up to 80 years old!

Episcopal Church in Southeast Florida to Host Juneteenth Celebration at Atonement Episcopal Church, Lauderdale Lakes
2025-06-14 10:00 - 12:00 | Atonement Episcopal Church, 4401 W. Oakland Park Blvd, Lauderdale Lakes, FL, 33313, United States
The Episcopal Church in Southeast Florida invites the community to a Juneteenth Celebration on Saturday, June 14th from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., hosted at Atonement Episcopal Church in Lauderdale Lakes, 4401 W. Oakland Park Blvd, Lauderdale Lakes, FL 33313.
This sacred gathering will include music, prayer, spoken word, and reflections that honor the enduring legacy of Juneteenth — commemorating the emancipation of the last enslaved African Americans in the United States.
Juneteenth, observed annually on June 19th, commemorates the day in 1865 when enslaved African Americans in Galveston, Texas, finally received word of their freedom — more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation. It has since become a national day of remembrance, celebration, and a call to continue the work of freedom and justice.
“This day is more than a moment in history, it is a spiritual call to remember, to give thanks, and to press forward in the work of liberation for all of God’s people,” said Archdeacon Hal Hurley, who oversees African Descent Ministries in the Episcopal Church in Southeast Florida.
All are welcome to attend. Lunch will be provided following the celebration.
As the Episcopal Church celebrates the history, culture, and contributions of African Americans, this Juneteenth event also affirms our ongoing commitment to truth, justice, and healing in the face of racism — grounded in faith, led by love, and rooted in community.
For more information, please contact Archdeacon Hal Hurley at Hal@diosef.org.
