ON THE WALL

On the corner of 17 Street and Washington Avenue, located just two blocks from Lincoln Road, is the New World Center, home of the New World Symphony (America’s Orchestral Academy).

The center was built as an innovative facility to be used for a blend of music, arts, and recreational space. The iconic building and location is now a new landmark for Miami Beach and won the 2012 AIA Institute Honor Award for Regional and Urban Design.

The New World Center has state-of-the-art technical capabilities, both inside and outside. A live WALLCAST™ allows individuals to experience select events and concerts on a soaring, 7,000-square-foot projection. These concerts are free and open to the public.

And as Miami weather slowly begins to cool, NWC kicks off their 2012 SoundScape Cinema Series. A free movie series held every Wednesday night at 8pm, from now till the end of May. Guests are encouraged to bring a picnic, lawn chairs, blankets and enjoy a great evening with family and friends.
