WELCOMING THE PUBLIC
RECOGNITION
Among the highlights of our public participation and response in the past fiscal year were the following activities and recognition. Visitation: Vizcaya is a welcoming and dynamic cultural space for the Miami-Dade community and for visitors from around the world. We were proud to welcome 317,401 visitors last year through admission, programs and events. Contemporary Arts Program: In the fall of 2022, Vizcaya re-launched the Contemporary Arts Program’s annual commissioned exhibition with Wish Towers , a modular sculpture made of fossilized coral collected from Puerto Rico’s shores by artists Jaime and Javier Suárez Berrocal. Commissioned projects continued in the summer of 2023 with The Kitchin , a community- made stop-motion animation film created over six weeks of workshops with artists Karla Caprali and Sofia Cabral along with 204 community members. Performing Arts: Throughout the fall of 2022, Hued Songs, IlluminArts and Vizcaya presented “Through the Storm: Women Walking in Greatness,” a three-part series of performances amplifying the historic contributions of three influential women creating change in South Florida. Through music and spoken word stories, the performances celebrated Dorothy Jenkins Fields, Sandrell Rivers and Betty Mae Tiger Jumper. Farmers Market: The weekly Vizcaya Village Farmer’s Market evokes Vizcaya’s past and welcomes approximately 28,000 visitors annually to support local farmers and sustainable landscapes.
