A resonant followup to its recently closed “Smoke & Mirrors: Magical Thinking in Contemporary Art,” a new exhibition at Boca Raton Museum of Art explores the complexities of human existence through a different take on “smoke and mirrors.” “Myths, Secrets, Lies, and Truths: Photography from the Doug McCraw Collection” spotlights five artists, such as Hank Willis Thomas, represented here, whose “Unbranded” series depicts advertisements created by white ad execs for the Black consumer market. Culled from the collection of the founder of Fort Lauderdale’s FATVillage arts district, the exhibition runs through Oct. 13. bocamuseum.org.

![In those rhapsodic locales to our north whence so many of us have hailed, summertime is the giddy season that redeems the restive hibernation of winter. Then, for the sunny span of 93.6 days, it is imperative for everybody to get outdoors and soak in every frolicking one of the 8 million-plus seconds of feetingly beautiful weather. That’s the prevailing notion, anyway. But it’s one that doesn’t really hold in South Florida, does it? For many of us here, the reality is more: “Summer?
