About

Global Arts Project's free ArtScape Concert Series presents Chardavoine's Creole Jazz Project May 15 in Collins Park, Miami Beach from 2-5 PM, in celebration of Haitian Flag Day. Dr Ed Calle's Student Jazz Ensemble will open as part of our Educational Outreach Program, and the Haitian Arts and Culture for Children dance troupe provides added entertainment. A farmer's market provided by the Market Company rounds out the day with delicious food and refreshments.
