The Adrienne Arsht Center celebrated its 19th Anniversary Gala, Time After Time, raising more than $2.8 million to support the Arsht Impact education and community engagement programs, which serve over 100,000 people annually. The evening also featured the second annual Arsht Awards honoring contributions to the Arsht and Miami’s cultural scene. Honorees included Lilia Garcia (Arsht Education Champion Award), Rosie Gordon-Wallace (Parker Thomson Legacy Award) and the Knight Foundation (Arsht Angel Award).

More than 250 community leaders gathered for a vibrant ’80s-themed evening on the Lynn Wolfson stage in the Dorothea Green Theater, featuring neon lights, gourmet bites, cocktails, and live performances. Alumni from Arsht Impact programs energized the crowd with a dance performance, while a DJ spun ’80s hits alongside voguers, breakdancers and celebrity look-alikes.
