What: \u201cEntangled and Ingested: The Work of Katharine Owens\u201d<\/p>\n
When: 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.<\/p>\n
Where: Resource Depot, 2508 Florida Ave., West Palm Beach<\/p>\n
Cost: Free<\/p>\n
Contact: 561\/882-0090,\u00a0resourcedepot.org<\/a><\/p>\n The two verbs in the title of this exhibition refer to the impacts of plastic pollution on sea life. When turtles and other beloved ocean fauna encounter our manmade detritus in our national environment, they often find themselves entangled in it, or they ingest it. Owens, a National Geographic Explorer and Fulbright fellow, sees her artistic practice as an extension of her environmental advocacy work. \u201cEntangled and Ingested,\u201d a project begun in 2021, features portraits of animals harmed by nondegradable plastics. Owens\u2019 medium is these very collected materials, which are hand-stitched onto canvases in a labor-intensive process. Her portraits include the Antarctic skua, the Atlantic cod, the black-footed albatross, the blacktip shark and many more. Explore the exhibition any day through Aug. 15.<\/p>\n THURSDAY<\/p>\n What: Sounds of The Set<\/p>\n When: 5:30 to 8:30 p.m.<\/p>\n Where: Libby Wesley Plaza, 2 S.W. Fifth Ave., Delray Beach<\/p>\n Cost: Free<\/p>\n Contact: 561\/243-1077,\u00a0downtowndelraybeach.com<\/a><\/p>\n When was the last time you visited The Set, Delray Beach\u2019s tight-knit downtown community named for the pioneering Black settlers who helped build the city into the multicultural haven it is today? Thursday is a prime opportunity to become reacquainted, as it marks the summer\u2019s first of two \u201cSounds of The Set\u201d evening gatherings. Spanning from Libby Wesley Plaza to The Hive (at 34 S.W. Fifth Ave.), visitors can peruse unique items from Blackmer\u2019s Market, explore the independent shops along Fifth Avenue, and groove to live music from the five-piece soul quintet JM & the Sweets. The next \u201cSounds of The Set\u201d is not until Aug. 27.<\/p>\n What: Opening night of \u201cBasquiat: Figures, Signs, Symbols\u201d<\/p>\n When: 8 to 9:30 p.m.<\/p>\n Where: Perez Art Museum Miami, 1103 Biscayne Blvd., Miami<\/p>\n Cost: Free<\/p>\n Contact: 305\/375-3000,\u00a0pamm.org<\/a><\/p>\n Tragically taken from us at 27, in 1988, artist Jean-Michel Basquiat managed in 10 short years what many artists strive over a lifetime to achieve\u2014an instantly recognizable style, a frontier vision that rewrote the rulebook on what\u2019s possible in visual art, acclaim generations beyond their death: In 2017, an untitled Basquiat painting netted a record-breaking $110.5 million at auction. But for an artist of such galvanizing influence, Basquiat\u2019s work is rarely shown in large-scale exhibitions outside of the biggest art enclaves in the world, which makes this selection of 10 masterworks, on loan from the Kenneth C. Griffin Collection, the largest Basquiat show in Florida to date. The exhibition will run for nearly a year, but there are two incentives to visit on Thursday. For one, admission is free, as it is on Thursday After Dark evenings. And second, the opening includes live DJing from Carter Jackson-Brown and Kumi Alvarez, who will spin an eclectic variety of the classic jazz, punk, and hip-hop that inspired Basquiat to create art.<\/p>\n FRIDAY<\/p>\n What: Opening night of \u201cThe Art of Language\u201d<\/p>\n When: 6 p.m.<\/p>\n Where: ArtServe, 1350 E. Sunrise Blvd., Fort Lauderdale<\/p>\n Cost: Free<\/p>\n Contact: 954\/462-8190,\u00a0artserve.org<\/a><\/p>\n Letters, words, and sentences can be employed for more than just literary and communicative means; as the artists in \u201cThe Art of Language\u201d reveal, they also have been serving as aesthetic objects, independent of linguistic understanding, for millennia. Expect the right and left brains to merge in this exhibition, which explores the artistic merit of forms as varied as calligraphy, poetry, and storytelling, including a curated collection of illuminated manuscripts from Tony Pastucci. The exhibition will run through Aug. 28, but Friday\u2019s opening-night reception is the only time to experience an interpretive dance performance by Emily Caravella that brings the language-arts concept fully into three dimensions. Friday also marks the opening night of ArtServe\u2019s solo exhibition \u201cCeramic Sculpture by Walter O\u2019Neill,\u201d also running through Aug. 28.<\/p>\n SATURDAY<\/p>\n What: Subhumans<\/p>\n When: 7 p.m.<\/p>\n Where: Respectable Street, 518 Clematis St., West Palm Beach<\/p>\n Cost: $29.97<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Sounds-of-the-Set.webp\")
