The drummers who were involved in First Beat at PAMM used the Turn-Based Press space for practice for the event. Check out this short video from Tom Tom Magazine of one of the practice sessions.

The actual event was wonderful; the experience of hearing drums resounding throughout the museum, searching the individual drummers out and admiring their performance was both exciting and enjoyable. So many people from the local art community were in the museum that day–along with masses of others. The day was balmy and invigorating. It was a great first Second Saturday in the new building.

The morning of the Artist Studio Visits for Downtown Miami was sunny and warm; Turn-Based Press had a nice crowd of guests, many of whom were friendly, familiar faces.  A Close Read was available for viewing as well, the new Perez Art Museum Miami was just a stroll down the street, and most of the local art organizations in the neighborhood were also open.  It was a wonderful morning to be downtown.
