Dedication of Adrienne Arsht Center Metromover station will feature live performers, vip guests

 


(Miami-Dade County, FL) -- During a special ceremony on May 14, 2009 at 2:30 p.m., Miami-Dade County will officially dedicate the Adrienne Arsht Center Metromover station. The renaming of the station was sponsored by Miami-Dade County Commissioner Audrey M. Edmonson through resolution last September.

The station, one of the Metromover system's highest-traffic stops, will be dedicated in honor of Ms. Arsht's $30 million gift to the nearby Performing Arts Center. This event will also feature live musicians and a special appearance by Circ X performers.

County Commissioner Audrey M. Edmonson will join philanthropist Adrienne Arsht, Performing Arts Center Trust board chairman Ricky Arriola and Miami-Dade Transit director Mr. Harpal Kapoor for the dedication.

Parking is available in LOT C across from the Adrienne Arsht Center's Sanford and Dolores Ziff Ballet Opera House (corner of NE 2nd Ave. and 13th St.). Street parking is available on 14th Terrace.
