“Festive Fridays” will become a new tradition at Southland Mall: every Friday, from 6:00- 8:00 p.m., mall patrons are invited to enjoy entertaining cultural performances and activities organized by local schools and organizations. To kick off this new weekly event series, the Arthur & Polly Mays Conservatory of the Arts will present special student performances inside Southland Mall’s Center Court. The official launch of “Festive Fridays” on February 8th will feature student performers from the Arthur & Polly Mays Conservatory of the Arts (11700 SW 216th St., Goulds, FL 33170). There will be a live performance by their magnet program’s orchestra and jazz band followed by a group of “Spoken Word” performers. Mall patrons will have the opportunity to learn about the multi-disciplined visual and performing arts program offered at the Arthur & Polly Mays Conservatory of the Arts while enjoying a preview of their most prominent student performers. “We hope this will promote an appreciation for culture and arts within our community while promoting some of our best local talent. Everyone is welcome to attend and enjoy these free events every Friday and start off their weekend with a pop of culture!” said Maggie Anzardo, Marketing Director for Southland Mall. “Festive Fridays” are free events that will be open to the public. Southland Mall is conveniently located on U.S. 1 and S.W. 205th Street, off the Florida Turnpike, Exits 11 or 12.
