Burstein\, the Gala committee includes representatives from arts organizations\, tourism and allied industries   all dedicated to preserving Miami Beach's rich legacy of showcasing the best talent the City has to offer.\n\n \n\n"It is heartwarming to see how the community has come together to support something that is such an integral part of our identity as a Cultural Arts Mecca\," says Jerry Libbin.  "This event will surely make a difference in how Miami Beach is perceived as a cultural arts center." \n\n \n\nArtistic Elements From Within the Community\n\n \n\nIn addition to a dinner menu with whimsical\, arts-themed monikers for each course\, the Gala features a medley of performances by local performers.\n\n \n\nBaby B Strings\, a trio comprised of violin\, viola and cello\, will provide traditional classical music during the cocktail reception.  \n\n \n\nOriente\, led and conceived by Cuban-born guitarist/composer\, Eddy Balzola\, is the featured musical entertainment throughout the dinner program.

They have garnered international attention and are currently touring with Yanni.\n\n \n\nSide stages in the main ballroom will feature three diverse dance troupes:  Pioneer Winter Collective\, Dance Now! Ensemble andMiami Contemporary Dance Company.\n\n \n\nEven the centerpieces that will grace the tables reflect the evening's arts theme\, as they are created by art students from Miami's Terra Environmental Research Institute\, an eco-friendly prototype for schools to come.  The students used dried tree branches to create twig sculptures for each table.\n\n \n\nThe Miami Beach Arts Gala takes place on Saturday\, October 23 at 7 pm at the Miami Beach Convention Center\, Ballroom D\, 1901 Convention Center Drive\, Miami Beach.
