The Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts of Miami-Dade County (@arshtcenter) proudly announces a new photographic exhibit by acclaimed Miami-based photographer DANIEL AZOULAY, honoring the Adrienne Arsht Center\u2019s 20th anniversary. Titled \u201cTHIS ISN\u2019T JUST A BUILDING. IT\u2019S A WORK OF ART,\u201d the exhibit features 35 stunning photographs captured between 2003 and 2006, documenting the Adrienne Arsht Center\u2019s transformation from blueprint to architectural landmark. These works are installed throughout the Arsht campus and are on display now through early April. Guests attending performances and anyone participating in the Arsht\u00a0free public tours<\/a>\u00a0offered every Saturday and Monday can enjoy the exhibit.<\/p>\n

Azoulay\u2019s images reveal the artistry and ambition behind one of Miami\u2019s most significant cultural projects, designed by world-renowned architect C\u00e9sar Pelli of Pelli Clarke & Partners. His lens transforms steel and concrete into a narrative of creativity and vision, preserving the story of a building that would become the cultural pulse of Miami.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Arsht is a symbol of Miami\u2019s cultural transformation,\u201d said Johann Zietsman, president and CEO of the Adrienne Arsht Center. \u201cDaniel Azoulay\u2019s photographs capture that spirit and ensure this history remains alive for generations. The Arsht is deeply grateful to Daniel for his generous donation of these images, which will become a permanent part of the Arsht collection.\u201d<\/p>\n

Following this exhibit, a second installment by Azoulay, to debut in Fall 2026, will feature two decades of unforgettable performances at the Arsht \u2013 a visual chronicle of the artists and audiences who have shaped Miami\u2019s cultural landscape since 2006.<\/p>\n

About Daniel Azoulay<\/p>\n

Based in Miami for the past 50 years, Daniel Azoulay is a celebrated photographer specializing in architectural and contemporary photography. Born in Morocco and raised in Israel, Azoulay studied photography in Denmark before becoming one of the world\u2019s most recognized fashion photographers. His work graced major advertising campaigns and appeared in leading publications such as\u00a0Vogue, Glamour, Harper\u2019s Bazaar\u00a0and\u00a0Mademoiselle.<\/p>\n

Since the 1980s, Azoulay has devoted his artistry to documenting Miami\u2019s ever-changing skyline, creating photographic collections that capture the city\u2019s most significant structural transformations. His images serve as a visual guide to Miami \u2013 revealing the city from above as an intricate network of systems and from the ground as a series of everyday monuments.<\/p>\n

From the Adrienne Arsht Center to the Port of Miami Tunnel, the P\u00e9rez Art Museum Miami, Frost Science Museum, the Children\u2019s Museum, Brickell City Centre and the Connecting Miami Project (I-395\/SR 836\/I-95), to a skyline punctuated by more than 30 soaring towers, each landmark tells its own story through Azoulay\u2019s lens. Together, these works form a powerful portrait of a city in constant evolution, memorialized through his distinctive vision.<\/p>\n

Visual Arts at the Arsht<\/p>\n

Visual art at the Arsht dates back to its design phase in the 1990s when public art was baked into the plans for the building. All of the original Art in Public Places works remain throughout the campus. Over the years, the Arsht has commissioned work from artists including Kenny Scharf, Jen Stark, Donald Sultan and Hernan Bas. From 2018-2025, the Carnival Tower displayed a 30-foot mural of a ballerina by Brazilian artist Eduardo Kobra. Today, the Tower features a whimsical stage adorned with playful artistic motifs, created by Miami-based artist TYPOE. Past exhibitions have also featured locals, including Jessy Nite, Sebastian Spreng, Greg Clark and Jos\u00e9 Bedia and an outdoor sculpture by Hank Willis Thomas.
