Miami Beach, FL – April 11, 2015 –  Locust Projects’ Spring Fling is always without a doubt one of the highlights to Miami’s social calendar, bringing art lovers together for a unique evening featuring art, delicious food, drinks, music. Locust Projects celebrated the best of midcentury chic Miami at its 2015 Spring Fling in the Magic City, at the critically acclaimed Herzog & De Meuron designed 1111 Building on Lincoln Road. Host committee including power-house names like Debra & Dennis Scholl, Jorge & Darlene Perez, Craig Robins, John S. & James L. Knight Foundation, and Holland & Knight LLP teamed up to plan the signature event, which attracted a diverse and enthusiastic group of South Florida’s top collectors, enthusiasts, artists, and hipsters. In signature Locust Projects fashion, Spring Fling attendees had all of their senses tickled as they are treated to delectable treats from Michael Schwartz’s Design District brainchild, Harry’s Pizzeria, Miami Beach’s Shake Shack, Macchialina, and Lyon & Lyon to name a few, along with speciality cocktails courtesy of Grey Goose Vodka. The Silent Luxury Auction included a Neiman Marcus shopping spree; gift certificates to restaurants; experiences at the Miami City Ballet and the Perez Art Museum Miami, and much more. Guests also danced the night away to music by Lolo. By far the highlight of the evening was Locust Projects’ blockbuster Silent Art Auction featuring hand-picked and internationally renowned artists such as Justin Beal, McArthur Binion, Isaac Brest, Oliver Clegg, Karl Haendel, Alexander Kroll, Tony Lewis, Fernando Mastrangelo, Jason Middlebrook, Kori Newkirk, Peter Peri, and Ruby Sky Stiler among others. The proceeds from this event provide essential funding for exhibitions and programming.
