The Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts is the second-largest performing arts center in the United States, only behind the Lincoln Center in New York City.

Designed by the renowned architect César Pelli, the center features two main buildings connected by a pedestrian bridge, showcasing a modernist style with a focus on natural light.

The center contributes over $100 million annually to the local economy, supporting thousands of jobs in the arts and hospitality sectors.

From Broadway shows to ballet, opera, and jazz concerts, the center offers a diverse lineup of performances throughout the year.

The center's Arts Education Program reaches over 60,000 students annually, providing access to performances and workshops.

The center was named in honor of Adrienne Arsht, a Miami businesswoman and philanthropist, following her $30 million donation in 2008.

The center hosts numerous cultural festivals, including the Miami International Piano Festival and Flamenco Festival Miami, celebrating diverse artistic traditions.

The Miami City Ballet and the Florida Grand Opera are among the resident companies that regularly perform at the center.

The Parker and Vann Thomson Plaza for the Arts is an outdoor space that hosts free community events and performances.
