“Imagine winning an award so prestigious, it could change your life.” That’s the allure of the YoungArts Campus, right here in Miami. This isn’t just any campus. This is a place where young artists, from writers to dancers, from musicians to filmmakers, come to hone their craft. The YoungArts Campus, formerly the Bacardi Buildings Complex, has a history as vibrant as its stained glass windows. Founded by Ted and Lin Arison, the power couple behind Carnival Cruise Lines, YoungArts started as a competition in 1981. They believed in nurturing the “future of our soul,” as Ted put it. Over 20,000 artists have been through the YoungArts program. Alumni include Viola Davis, Kerry Washington, Nicki Minaj, and Timothée Chalamet, just to name a few. Walking through these halls, you can almost feel the creative energy crackling in the air. Picture young Viola Davis, honing her acting chops right here. That’s the magic of the YoungArts Campus – a place where dreams are realized and legacies are born.
