Miami Art Week came and went quickly – so quickly, in fact, that some Spotlight readers may have missed Village Voices, a one-night-only photography exhibition at the Shake-a-Leg hangar on South Bayshore Drive. The show featured 32 photographs of Coconut Grove faces and places taken by eight University of Miami photojournalism students. The original photographs were offered for sale at the Thursday night show, with proceeds benefiting Shake-a-Leg. Those who bought photos were able to take their art home with them. The show closed that night, but the images are making an encore appearance on the Spotlight’s website, for those who missed them the first time around. The show was organized by Miami photojournalist Patrick Farrell, who teaches photojournalism at UM and is a member of the Spotlight editorial team.
