A little over a year ago, the Adrienne Arsht Center's President and CEO John Richard, alongside The Miami Herald's World Editor, John Yearwood, made a trip to visit disaster-strewn Haiti. On his journey to understand how the Arsht Center could make a meaningful contribution to Haiti's recovery, John was introduced to the country's premier dance ensemble, AYIKODANS, a company that was then on the brink of closing their business for good.

With the help of passionate Miami community leaders, the Center was able to help save AYIKODANS - and has commissioned a new piece that will see its world premiere on May 25 & 26!

Mel Finkelstein: Picturing the Man Behind the Camera- until 10/14/2012

2012-05-22T21:21:00.000-04:00

This exhibition examines a lifetime of work by acclaimed photojournalist Mel Finkelstein. From the late 1960s to late 1980s, when readers rifled through the Daily News to see "what happened in New York yesterday," more often than not, their view of the city and themselves came through the lens of Mel Finkelstein. This collection of photos from the 1950s-1980s focuses on iconic symbols from our cultural past, giving a sense of this larger-than-life man and his world of time, place and celebrity. Address:
