The YoungArts Miami Gala will take place on Saturday, January 10, 2026, at the breathtaking Rubell Museum.

Generously sponsored by Oscar de la Renta, this inspiring evening is chaired by Sarah Arison and Thomas Wilhelm, Chloe Berkowitz, Molly and Bill Ford, Dr. Christina Pérez, and Brynne McNulty Rojas. Together, we will welcome over 300 visionary artists and passionate art advocates for a celebration of creativity, connection, and joy.

The YoungArts Miami Gala marks the culmination of National YoungArts Week, a showcase of the nation’s most extraordinary young talent across all artistic disciplines. Be swept away by breathtaking performances by YoungArts alumni as we honor the transformative power of the arts and their profound cultural impact.

The evening will be emceed by rising multidisciplinary performer Alaman Diadhiou (2016 Dance & U.S. Presidential Scholar in the Arts) alongside Tony- and Emmy-nominated actor, singer and producer Brandon Victor Dixon (1999 Theater). Performances will be directed by Chanel DaSilva (2004 Dance & U.S. Presidential Scholar in the Arts), a celebrated choreographer and educator and co-founder of MOVE|NYC| whose work celebrates diversity and equity in the dance profession and beyond.

We hope you’ll join us for this unforgettable night of artistry, community and celebration!
