South Beach Arts Institute in Miami Beach
Tucked away in a charming nook adjacent to the Miami Beach Convention Center and Miami Beach Botanical Garden is the SoBe Arts Institute (SoBe Arts) located in the historic Carl Fisher Clubhouse, Little Stage Theater and neighboring park.
This little gem, which is supported by the City of Miami Beach, is a fine example of Miami Beach’s commitment to the artistic growth of Miami-Dade County as a whole. Headed by Executive Director Carson Kievman, the organization has focused upon the long-term need to develop opportunities for quality performance events and arts education.
