Themed "Coming Up Roses," the "Take Center Stage" Gala will begin with twilight cocktails in the Adams Foundation Lobby, followed by the main event and gala dinner on the Lynn Wolfson Stage hosted by Gala Honorary Chair Adrienne Arsht and a team of 20 Conducting Committee Members, including Missy Carricarte, Marlén Pernetti and Inés Rivero. The celebration will continue late into the evening with an After-Party produced by Gorillas Lifestyle Marketing and hosted by more than 20 of South Florida's leading VIPs and nightlife impresarios. The After-Party will be held at the Peacock Foundation Studio, which will be transformed into a nightclub featuring renowned DJs, cocktails and delectable desserts.
Showcasing the state-of-the-art performing arts center, the gala highlights the internationally renowned resident companies, presenting the work of the Miami City Ballet; New World Symphony, Florida Grand Opera and Concert Association of Florida on one stage in an exciting and surprise-filled evening designed by Le Basque Productions.
