The New Theatre has been in business for twenty years, putting on a numerous state and world premieres annually.

The visual arts have exceptional presence in Coral Gables.  The Alhambra Antiques is renown for its inventory of 18th and 19th century European items, and the aged furniture, paintings, lamps, and decorations it vends are only the finest.

The Americas Collection art gallery exhibits pieces from throughout the Western Hemisphere and Europe, additionally specializing in framing, art transport, corporate consulting and collector’s requests.

The Art + Gallery is Gables’ home to cutting-edge contemporary art.  Operating since 2002, its extensive collection and reputable exhibits of masters on the level of Braque do not betray its age.  Be on the look out for activities and festivals in which Art + participates; their presence will almost certainly bring the event to the next level.
