Yesterday's Miami Herald ran a feature piece on how the arts have managed to survive and even thrive in the South Florida city. From the tenor of the piece, even the pro-arts drum beaters have been surprised by this unlikely event. The success feels like a top-down driven situation, with major local players such as the Arison family publicly involved. It's not clear how many working artists are feeling whatever magnetic pull the Miami arts scene has.Still, one has to admire Miami's tenacity promoting the arts, especially in light of South Florida's dreadful real estate disaster and economic malaise.
