A grand night was had by all when the Key Biscayne Community Foundation hosed “Pieces from Paradise,” a celebration of the island’s artist via a curated exhibition, sale and fundraiser. Proceeds from the event, which took place at a home on 501 Harbor Drive donated by eRealty and Zubillaga Design, went toward furthering the organization’s work with Key Biscayne non-profits and establishing future community-wide arts events.
