The Gary Nader Art Centre had the honor of hosting a significant event where the newly crowned Miss Universe 2024, Victoria Kjær Theilvig, received the Key to the City of Miami. The ceremony took place on Thursday, Nov. 21, at the Gary Nader Art Centre.
The prestigious distinction, presented by Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava, recognized the extraordinary achievements of Miss Universe 2024 and her role as a global ambassador for empowerment, inclusion, and leadership.
Miami was the first city that the newly crowned Miss Universe visited officially, highlighting the importance of the city as a global hub for culture, art, and female empowerment. The event, attended by local and international press, Miami-Dade commissioners, as well as Raúl Rocha, president of Miss Universe; Emilio Estefan, and interior designer Adriana Hoyos, underscored the city’s significance as a global cultural center and a beacon of female empowerment.
Miss Universe’s journey exemplifies the values promoted by the Miss Universe Organization, serving as an inspiration to women worldwide. Her commitment to change, support for cultural diversity, and the empowerment of future generations aligns with Gary Nader’s mission to promote art that transcends boundaries and fosters global dialogue.
Nader, with his vision of positioning Miami as a global leader in art and culture, and following the success of bringing the Latin Grammys back to the city, announced his new initiative to bring the Miss Universe 2026 competition to Miami. This proposal, supported by Rocha, reflects their joint commitment to position Miami as a cultural epicenter and a leader in female empowerment.
“We are deeply honored to have hosted such a momentous ceremony, which not only celebrated the achievements of Miss Universe 2024, but also the transformative power of women globally,” said Nader, founder and CEO of Gary Nader Art Centre. “Together with Raúl Rocha, we are joining efforts to bring the Miss Universe 2026 competition to Miami, a city that has solidified itself as a global cultural and artistic hub.
“This collaboration reflects our mission to be a bridge between the arts, culture, and empowerment, and we are confident that the competition will be an even more powerful platform to inspire and elevate women worldwide.”
Rocha said, “Thank you, Miami, for this key that you have given us, which symbolizes the opening of so many opportunities that we will be able to develop together with Miss Universe. May it become a key to possibilities for the benefit of the residents of Miami-Dade, promoting investment and becoming a driving force for the economy, creating more opportunities for growth for entrepreneurs and collaborators.”
The Gary Nader Art Centre, located in Miami’s Wynwood Arts District, is one of the most prestigious and successful galleries in the world. Renowned for its focus on Latin American art, the center has achieved international acclaim for its innovative exhibitions and its role in promoting the region’s rich artistic heritage.
