Leandra Arvazzetti, Master of Fine Arts candidate at the FIU College of Architecture + The Arts, and two other artists have collaborated with Miami Heat player Chris Bosh on launching his new fall collection of neckties and bowties, called Mr. Nice Tie. The unveiling of the tie line and Arvazzetti’s work will take place on Wednesday, December 3rd.

Bosh will be at Little Haiti’s Yeelen Gallery to present works by artists Jerome Soimaud, Tim Okamura, and Leandra Arvazzetti. Arvazzetti has made two pieces out of Bosh’s ties, one being a dress and the other an installation. Okamura’s “Love, Strength and Soul” exhibition features large-scale portraits of empowered African-American women in urban settings. Soimaud’s painting “I Am a Man” is a nod to relationships between fathers and sons. (Source: SouthFlorida.com)
