The Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts of Miami-Dade County (@arshtcenter) has announced a new photographic exhibit by acclaimed Miami-based photographer Daniel Azoulay, honoring the Adrienne Arsht Center’s 20th anniversary.
Titled “This Isn’t Just a Building. It’s a Work of Art,” the exhibit features 35 stunning photographs captured between 2003 and 2006, documenting the Adrienne Arsht Center’s 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 free public tours offered every Saturday and Monday can enjoy the exhibit.
Azoulay’s images reveal the artistry and ambition behind one of Miami’s most significant cultural projects, designed by world-renowned architect César 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.
“The Arsht is a symbol of Miami’s cultural transformation,” said Johann Zietsman, president and CEO of the Adrienne Arsht Center. “Daniel Azoulay’s 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.”
Following this exhibit, a second installment by Azoulay, to debut in Fall 2026, will feature two decades of unforgettable performances at the Arsht – a visual chronicle of the artists and audiences who have shaped Miami’s cultural landscape since 2006.
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’s most recognized fashion photographers. His work graced major advertising campaigns and appeared in leading publications such as Vogue, Glamour, Harper’s Bazaar and Mademoiselle.
Since the 1980s, Azoulay has devoted his artistry to documenting Miami’s ever-changing skyline, creating photographic collections that capture the city’s most significant structural transformations. His images serve as a visual guide to Miami – revealing the city from above as an intricate network of systems and from the ground as a series of everyday monuments.
From the Adrienne Arsht Center to the Port of Miami Tunnel, the Pérez Art Museum Miami, Frost Science Museum, the Children’s 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’s lens. Together, these works form a powerful portrait of a city in constant evolution, memorialized through his distinctive vision.
