Miami Hispanic Cultural Arts Center

Miami Hispanic Cultural Arts Center is a cultural center at 111 SW 5th Ave in Little Havana, inside the historic Warner House, which the center calls "The White House of the Arts." It serves as the umbrella for several Hispanic arts organizations: Miami Hispanic Ballet and the International Ballet Festival of Miami, Cuban Classical Ballet of Miami and its school, and Creation Art Center, which stages Spanish-language theater, play-readings, workshops, art exhibits, and music concerts.

Guests come for rotating art exhibitions, book launches, conferences, and poetry gatherings (a tertulia is held on the last Thursday of each month, according to a recent guest). The house also hosts ballet, contemporary dance, Cuban dance, salsa, and piano classes for children and adults, including beginners.

Guests describe a restored historic mansion with a warm, welcoming atmosphere, plenty of parking, and a calendar that mixes performances, classes, and gallery openings. The center is open Monday to Saturday, with extended evening hours on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, and is closed Sundays.

Admission varies by event.
