Consisting of a 200-seat studio theater, rehearsal/community room and front and back of house spaces, this state-of-the art cultural center is being managed through a partnership between the Department of Cultural Affairs and two outstanding non-profit arts groups, Fantasy Theater Factory, a company dedicated to children and family programming, and The M Ensemble Company, one of the best African-American theater companies in the Southeastern United States. 4 x NACo Award Received in Recognition of the Department’s Landmark ADA Silver Anniversary Summit to Promote Best Practices in Arts Accessibility The Department is a recognized leader locally and nationally for arts accessibility and inclusion strategies.

Through the Department’s arts education and outreach programs, nearly 230,000 children and their families benefitted from arts activities in FY 2015-2016. The additional funding support is being dedicated entirely to: the Department’s Summer Arts & Science Camp for Kids Program, providing free and reduced tuition for under-served children to attend these summer camps; and to the Department’s All Kids Included (AKI) – Youth Arts in the Parks Program, which won a 2015 NACo Achievement Award. Offered in collaboration with the Parks, Recreation and Open Spaces Department, Youth Arts in the Parks is an inclusive, socially-oriented, sequential arts instruction program for children and youth ages 6-17 with and without disabilities (youth with disabilities are welcome up to age 22).

In 2016, the program witnessed an increase of 13% in ticket sales from 12,060 in 2014-2015 to 13,611 2015-2016.

The entire guide also can be accessed on the Department’s website, www.miamidadearts.org. x African Heritage Cultural Arts Center Celebrates 40 Years of Service to the Community with “Sankofa” In commemoration of its 40th anniversary in FY 2015, the African Heritage Cultural Arts Center (AHCAC) presented “Sankofa: Looking Back, Going Forward,” a year-long series of events, performances, and educational workshops, celebrating four decades of outstanding accomplishments in Liberty City and recognizing the talented performers, instructors and community leaders who have been trained at the AHCAC and gone on to contribute so importantly to the development and creativity of young people here and across the nation. The Knight Foundation awarded a $75,000 grant to support Sankofa. The celebration has reconnected renowned artists who are alumni of the AHCAC with the place that launched their training and careers. These artists include Tarell Alvin 9 McCraney (MacArthur “genius” award-winning playwright, director and educator), Willerm Delisfort (International Pianist), Shareef Clayton (Duke Ellington Orchestra), and Marshall Davis, Jr. (Broadway Hoofer). ESTABLISHING A NETWORK OF OUTSTANDING CULTURAL FACILITIES x The South Miami-Dade Cultural Arts Center Receives Two Major Grants to Expand Cultural Programs The South Miami-Dade Cultural Arts Center was awarded two significant grants to introduce audiences to even more outstanding performing arts experiences. The National Endowment for the Arts approved a $40,000 grant for the Center’s entire FY 2016-17 season in recognition of the diversity and excellence of offerings for families and children. In addition, the John S. and James L.

Mr. Mittelman helped create more than 200 plays, musicals, educational and special events on two stages during his 21-year tenure at the Playhouse. These plays and musicals were highlighted by 28 World or American premieres. This body of work includes three Pulitzer Prize-winning playwrights directing their own work for the first time in a major theatrical production: Edward Albee - Seascape; David Auburn - Proof; and Nilo Cruz - Anna In the Tropics. Musical legends Cy Coleman, Charles Strouse, Jerry Herman, Jimmy Buffett, John Kander and Fred Ebb were in residence at the Playhouse to develop world premiere productions.

Frazer Submitted to the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering on May 20, 2005 in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Engineering in Civil and Environmental Engineering ABSTRACT As existing open-air or fully enclosed stadia are reaching their life expectancies, cities are choosing to replace them with structures with moving roofs. This kind of facility provides protection from weather for spectators, a natural grass playing surface for players, and new sources of revenue for owners. The first retractable-roof stadium in North America, the Rogers Centre, has hosted numerous successful events but cost the city of Toronto over CA$500 million. Today, there are five retractable-roof stadia in use in America. Each has very different structural features designed to accommodate the conditions under which they are placed, and their individual costs reflect the sophistication of these features.

  • Miami-Dade County Opioid Addiction Task Force Implementation Report
    Opioid Addiction Task Force Implementation Report BACKGROUND 2016 Miami-Dade Opioid Addiction Task Force Formation In response to the illicit and prescription opioid addiction and overdose epidemic in Miami-Dade County, Mayor Carlos A. Gimenez, in partnership with the State Attorney Katherine Fernandez-Rundle, the Department of Children and Families, the Florida Department of Health, and Miami-Dade County's Board of County Commissioners Chairman Esteban L. Bovo, Jr. founded the Miami-Dade County Opioid Addiction Task Force. Members of the Task Force consist of several subject-matter experts and stakeholders representing agencies, departments, and offices working to end the opioid epidemic. Based on a review of evidence-based and evidence-informed practices, the Task Force provided recommendations to reduce opioid overdoses, prevent opioid misuse and addiction, increase the number of persons seeking treatment, and support persons recovering from addiction in our communities. The Task Force also examined healthcare solutions, the role of the justice system in opioid prevention, and raising awareness and improving knowledge of misuse. IMPLEMENTATION The Opioid Addiction Task Force recognizes the serious public health problems associated with the opioid epidemic occurring in Miami-Dade County. Task Force Members created an action plan with 26 recommendations that invoke sustained population-wide health improvements. The participating agencies understand that combining community efforts can achieve a lasting social change and are committed to implementing these recommendations to the extent that resources and legal authority allow. The members of the Task Force strongly encourage all other organizations and individuals to do the same. Entities, charged with implementing specific recommendations, report on their progress quarterly to staff support.
