The Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts of Miami-Dade County (@arshtcenter) has recognized three individuals who made significant contributions to the Arsht and the Miami cultural community at large with the 2025 Arsht Award. The honorees are Lilia Garcia with the Arsht Education Champion Award; Rosie Gordon-Wallace with the Parker Thomson Legacy Award; and Knight Foundation with the Arsht Angel Award.
The recipients were honored at a ceremony on March 8, 2025 during the Arsht Center’s 19th Anniversary Gala, which united hundreds of community leaders in support of Arsht Impact programming, the Center’s mission-driven education and community engagement initiatives. Read more about each honoree in Arsht Magazine here.

The Arsht and the Miami-Dade community have benefited from contributions from many remarkable members of our community. Launched in 2024, the Arsht Awards recognize and honor those individuals (and organizations) in three categories: Arsht Education Champion Award, presented to an individual who has made significant contributions to arts education in Miami-Dade County, emphasizing the importance of exposure to the arts on learners of all ages; Parker Thomson Legacy Award, presented to an individual whose advocacy and leadership has significantly enriched the cultural landscape of Miami-Dade and advanced the mission of the Arsht Center; and the Arsht Angel Award, presented to an individual or organization that has supported the Arsht Center’s work through significant and sustained financial contributions.
The Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts of Miami-Dade County is made possible by the public support of the Miami-Dade County Mayor and the Board of County Commissioners, the Miami-Dade County Department of Cultural Affairs and the Cultural Affairs Council, the Miami-Dade County Tourist Development Council and the City of Miami Omni Community Redevelopment Agency. The Adrienne Arsht Center also receives generous support from individuals, corporations and local, state and national foundations.\
