The Center for Arts & Innovation

We're handing over 2 free tickets to one of our most intimate upcoming events, and here's why you'd want them.

The experience: Ekphrastic poetry writing inspired by visual art. You look at a piece. You feel something. You write it down. Simple as that.

The partnership: The Center + Miami Poetry Club, hosted at YoungArts in Miami.
The vibe: Evening workshop, small group, no pressure to share.
We are giving away 2 FREE tickets to a local community to come, slow down, and create with us at The Center.

Thursday, June 11 | 7–9 PM | YoungArts, Miami

What if the next medical breakthrough isn’t in a lab yet... but sitting inside a 15-year-old’s sketchbook?📒​

Every big idea starts with someone bold enough to imagine it first💭

At The Center, we help people discover, grow, and share creativity through hands-on programs and events across South Florida - because creativity isn’t just for artists, it’s how we solve problems, adapt, and imagine what’s possible.

You don't have to be a writer to write a poem. You just have to be willing to look closely at something. ✨

Tomorrow, June 11, The Center and Miami Poetry Club are hosting an evening workshop at YoungArts, and we have 2 FREE tickets to give away.

I Wonder… What It Would Be Like to Write Poetry? is a two-hour, no-pressure experience where you'll look at visual art, follow guided prompts, and find your own words for what you see. No experience required. No grades. No right answers.

Only a few spots are available, and yours could be free.

📩 Email [email protected] to claim your tickets before they're gone.

We still can’t get over the impact the “What Do You See?” Short Film Fellowship had on our youth filmmakers, and on everyone who joined us to celebrate their work. Hearing them share what creativity means to them took us through every emotion: curiosity, joy, reflection, resilience and inspiration ✨

Each film represents the fellows stories from start to finish in this program. In the beginning days there was shyness but an underlying spark in each of them. But by the end there was vibrancy in storytelling and an overflow of creativity.
