As 4A Arts (American Alliance of Artists and Audiences) expands its grassroots arts advocacy network into Florida, the organization announces the election of Aida Levitan, PhD to its board of directors.
A Miami-based cultural entrepreneur and philanthropist, Dr. Levitan will help guide the organization’s efforts to unite Florida arts institutions and audiences in making creativity a civic priority.
4A Arts is building grassroots organizing capacity in Florida (in addition to Arizona, Missouri and South Dakota), inspiring audiences to advocate for the local cultural organizations they value. Leveraging this audience/institution relationship, 4A Arts seeks to prioritize the arts as essential to thriving communities and robust economies for elected leaders at the local, state and national levels.
“My work has always focused on expanding access to the arts, and I’ve seen how creativity strengthens Miami’s communities,” Dr. Levitan said. “I’m excited to help 4A Arts bring that spirit to audiences across Florida and nationwide.”
Dr. Levitan is a Cuban-American advertising and public relations pioneer, board member of U.S. Century Bank, and founder of ArtesMiami, which supports South Florida artists and cultural organizations. She has been recognized by Forbes’ 50Over50, elected to the Council on Foreign Relations, and named Officer of the Royal Order of Isabel la Católica by King Felipe VI of Spain in recognition of her work for Spain and Hispanic culture. A former leader of the National Association of Hispanic Advertising Agencies, Dr. Levitan also serves as trustee emerita of Pérez Art Museum Miami.
“Dr. Levitan’s deep roots in Florida’s cultural landscape, combined with her expertise in building coalitions and expanding access, make her an invaluable partner as we grow our presence in the state,” said 4A Arts Board chair Luis R. Cancel.
“We’re working to change how Americans think about the role of creativity in civic life,” said executive director Gavin Lodge. “Dr. Levitan’s leadership will help us strengthen partnerships across Florida and demonstrate what’s possible when communities organize around the arts.”
