Aventura Arts & Cultural Center Now Under Construction
Construction on the new Aventura Arts & Cultural Center began in January, 2009 and it is expected to open in early 2010. The 325 seat facility will provide a variety of performing arts and cultural programming. The Center will provide opportunities for residents to enjoy a variety of events within the community and expand drama and arts programming at Aventura City of Excellence School (ACES). The Center will be easily accessible and located at the east end of NE 188 Street. Steven D. Clark, the former Director of Operations for the Miami Beach Convention Center and the Jackie Gleason Theatre, has been hired as the General Manager. He began work in early August, 2009.
The City of Aventura has launched a new web site for the Aventura Arts & Cultural Center. The new web site, www.aventuracenter.org, gives monthly updates of the project and new features will be added as opening day approaches. Visitors can view architectural renderings of the building, news releases, and monthly photos of the construction area. Traffic alerts and Advisory Board meeting information is also posted.
