MEET DOROTHEA GREEN
The Arsht Center welcomed a new family name to its campus in April with the naming of the Dorothea Green Theater inside the Ziff Ballet Opera House. The newly-named space recognizes a generous $2.5 million grant from the Green Family Foundation to increase access to arts education for Miami-Dade County children.
"We added a family name to our campus!
The naming recognizes a significant gift from The Green Family Foundation that will empower the Arsht Center to annually expand its arts education access for another 25,000 children – reaching a total of 80,000 students every year with free arts learning experiences."
