Dance and Art Collide at the Opening Night of Flamenco Festival Miami

The opening night of the Arsht Center’s 12th annual Flamenco Festival Miami drew thousands of flamenco fans, including philanthropists, media personalities and influencers to celebrate Spain’s great art form. After enjoying an exceptional performance by Ballet Flamenco Sara Baras, Arsht Center donors gathered for a private reception, which included guests of RIU Hotels and Resorts, the Festival’s lead supporter; Miami Consul General of Spain D. Cándido Creis Estrada; Univision personalities Borja Voces, Jesus Brocamontes and Nicolas Colate Vallejo-Nagera and Arsht Center President and CEO Johann Zietsman, among others. The reception room was beautifully decorated with flamenco-inspired sculptures by Spanish artist Fernando Cid de Diego, courtesy of neighborhood gallery Zenith Art & Fashion.
