The Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts will host a viewing party for the second-term inauguration of President Obama.

The community celebration and live television simulcast takes place on Jan. 21, and will feature a simulcast of the President’s address and inauguration parade, presentation of the colors by Homestead Senior High School Air Force JROTC Color Guard, live musical performance by the New World School of the Arts Concert Choir, and guest appearances by local elected officials. Admission will be free of charge and reservations can be made in advance at arshtcenter.org beginning Jan. 8. A schedule of the day’s events will be released in the coming weeks.

The performing arts center is located at 1300 Biscayne Blvd.

Inauguration Day 2013 also marks a National Day of Service honoring the life of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Event attendees are encouraged to bring school supplies, toiletries, new socks, and new undergarments to be donated to the Chapman Partnership, which operates a Homeless Assistance Center in Downtown Miami.

Organizations and individuals interested in offering sponsorship support for this event may contact the Arsht Center Advancement Department at 786- 468-2243.

CBS4 is a media sponsor of the Arsht Center Community Celebration and Live Simulcast event.

Parking will be available for $5 at the Miami Parking Authority’s Lot C, located on Northeast 13th Street and Biscayne Boulevard.

    Local artist makes interactive art, on display at Locust Projects in Miami

    At the opening for Miami artist Jillian Mayer’s exhibition “Precipice/PostModem” at Locust Projects in the Design District, visitors were asked to do something that is never asked of them in traditional museums and galleries: Touch and interact with the art. For example, in the piece Swing Space, guests are invited to take a ride on one of four swings hanging from the roof of the gallery while they watch a projection of digitally manipulated cloud imagery in front of them. This came as a pleasant surprise to many of the art patrons who passed through the gallery’s doors, including freelance photographer Tesoro Carolina.
