ANR - Stay Kids Official Video

ANR is homegrown talent, and this new video shows what we love about them. Directed by Jorge Rubiera, it's all-around wonderful. Check it out!

Rachel Goodrich - Fire

Rachel Goodrich is one of the best things to come out of Miami's music scene in a long while. We love her and we love what she's up to. Check out this video for her new song "Fire," filmed (sadly) out in Palm Desert, California.

Jen Stark's Newest Papermation

Local paper artist Jen Stark has just released her most ambitious Papermation to date - this one is a music video for underground electronic musician Dan Deacon. It's mesmerizing and wonderful. Learn more about Jen by going to her site, reading the Miami New Times profile or by watching her ArtStreet Segment.

Jillian Mayer's 'I Am Your Grandma' Terrifies and Delights

The following video was created by local Miami multi-media and performance artist Jillian Mayer. It's a video note to her future grandchildren and it must be seen to be believed. Mayer recently held her first solo exhibition at the David Castillo Gallery in Wynwood, where this video played along side several other wonderfully weird pieces. The New Times review is here. "I am your Grandma" premiered at the 2011 Borscht Film Festival before hitting YouTube, where it has spread like wildfire.

With over 650,000 views, the video has inspired remakes, remixes and fan videos like the ridiculous "I Am Your Grandpa"

Lil Daggers Video - Matthew Prickett

Matthew Prickett is a local filmmaker we've only just heard about - he directed this music video for local outfit Lil Daggers. Apparently, Matthew works full time at ad agency Crispin+Porter, and does this sort of work in his off hours. We like the hustle. Keep it up.

Welcome to ArtStreet 2.0 - The new blog.

So we've tried a few things with this blog and now we're trying something else. Used to be that this blog was a place to embed our segments so you could watch here instead of on that pesky YouTube. No longer. YouTube has redesigned it's channel pages and they look great. You can see our entire online catalog, watch our videos, comment and share all from one place at http://www.artstreetmiami.org/.

YouTube's new site design makes this blog sort of obsolete, so here's the new idea: this blog is where we'll carry over the discussion from our new media outlet and our regular broadcast. If you have things you want to say, post comments. If you have story ideas, post comments. If you like something or hate something, let us know.

For our part, we'll update semi-regularly and keep you abreast of our goings-on. Our segments will continue to go our YouTube and we'll be using our new Twitter account (www.twitter.com/artstreetmiami) to keep getting the word out about the great artists here in South Florida.
