Adrienne Arsht

About

Arsht leverages her Atlantic Council leadership to shape hemispheric policy on trade, migration, and economic integration, particularly through the Adrienne Arsht Latin America Center's engagement with Congressional policymakers and regional stakeholders. Her philanthropic imprint transformed Miami's cultural landscape with a transformative gift to the performing arts center bearing her name, which anchors downtown's entertainment economy and community programming. Beyond the Atlantic Council, Arsht has positioned herself as a strategic voice on climate adaptation and homeland security, convening government officials, private sector leaders, and civil society experts for high-level dialogues on pressing transnational challenges. Her foundation work historically supported major cultural institutions including the Kennedy Center and Metropolitan Museum of Art, extending her influence across America's premier arts organizations.
