Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts, commonly called The Arsht Center, is Florida’s largest performing arts center and is located on Biscayne Boulevard in the Omni neighborhood of Downtown Miami, Florida. It is one of the largest performing arts centers in the United States.
The Center’s resident companies, Florida Grand Opera, Miami City Ballet and New World Symphony, and America’s Orchestral Academy present many of their Miami performances at the Center.
The Center was partly built on the site of a former Sears department store; an Art Deco building constructed in 1929, pre-dating the Art Deco hotels on Miami Beach. Designed by the distinguished architect, Cesar Pelli, the Center occupies two 570,000 square feet (53,000 m2) sites straddling Biscayne Boulevard which are connected by a pedestrian bridge.
Since opening in 2006, the Arsht Center, a 501C3 non-profit organization, has emerged as a leader in presenting innovative programming that mirrors South Florida’s diversity as well as a catalyst for billions of dollars in new development in the downtown area.
