MIAMI, FLORIDA

is a robust, non-for-profit organization* whose mission is to foment and promote cultural exchange through the medium of artistic expression.   The Foundation was formed to serve the public through the acquisition, conservation, exhibition and interpretation of significant works of art from a broad range of Caribbean, African, North and South American cultures; with a special emphasis on Cuba. Given the island nation's proximity to Florida, its incalculable impact as a cultural muse and its superlative artists, CopperBridge provides passage and furthers cross currents of cultural interchange between Cuba and the United States of America.    Copper Bridge Foundation provides free passage through the organization of exhibitions, competitions, workshops and artists’ seminars.   Not only can the ‘art’ travel, but the ‘artists’ as well. "By building a cultural 'bridge', Art acts as a conduit between the Caribbean and the world; uniting people of different back-grounds, religions and beliefs in a myriad of ways.  Art is our common language helping to create a dialogue between people who may have more in common than they suspect. Travel the CopperBridge in a multicultural journey that recognizes we are one world and through the medium of art great things can and will coalesce into a more harmonious place for all." Welcome to a very special place in the burgeoning North Miami (NoMi) art district: The Gypsy Tea Shop. Nestled among art galleries, lip-smacking Creole joints, boisterous West Indian Soca stores and ramshackle recording studios (that harkens back to Miami's bee-bop heyday), The Gypsy Tea Shop is at the crossroads of a neighborhood in vibrant flux. ) has created a significant example of what unbridled vision and elbow grease can accomplish. The Gypsy Tea Shop is both store and transcendent retreat. Boasting secret nooks and delightful communal spaces, The Gypsy Tea Shop offers tarot readings, coffee readings, a library of books, and a plethora of interesting antiques. Mr.Darder has managed to strike a chord that resonates in perfect harmony with its polyglot surroundings. "Whether antiques, collectibles, the uniquely odd or the oddly unique, I think of the place as a spiritual drug store combined with a Mom & Pop antique shop" says manager / hostess Eileen. She continues: "Our guests come here to shop, hang out, sip tea and vibe. Herein lies the essence of of The Gypsy Tea Shop." Nodding in agreement, owner Geo Darder says" Whether looking for just the right gift, some spiritual solace, a reading, or just the place to relax and run into old or new friends....This has become the go-to place in NoMi."
