HAPPENING THIS MONTH
OCTOBER 2
Gallery Night returns to the Coral Gables Museum with an evening of art, music, dancing, and creative fun for the whole family. Presented by the Young Associates, the celebration features DJ Kauze in the Courtyard, a free salsa class, a Halloween activity for kids, free gallery admission, and a cash bar.
Explore two newly unveiled exhibitions, Capture Coral Gables and America Touched, America Seen, alongside Life is a Carnival de Barranquilla, Rebuilding Motherland, and Revisiting Arva Moore Park’s “Creating the Dream”.
Admission is free, but we encourage you to contribute what you can to support community initiatives like this one. Every bit helps us keep bringing art, culture, and creativity to the heart of Coral Gables!
Born in New York and raised in Miami, DJ Kauze brings 20+ years of experience to the decks. His open-format sets move across genres and cultures, shaped by his ability to read the crowd and keep the energy going.
