Miami Design Preservation League Hosts Private Sunset Cocktail Party on Hibiscus Island 

More than 100 philanthropists, elected officials, media and community VIPs enjoyed a curated menu from Stiltsville Fish Bar by James Beard Award winning chef Jeff McGinnis and James Beard Award semi-finalist Janine Booth, an open bar by Eleven20 Tequila, St. Royale Vodka, exclusive first pours of vintages from the vault of celebrated winemaker David Phinney of Orin Swift Cellars, and forals by DVine. City of Miami Beach Vice Mayor Steven Meiner and Commissioner Kristen Rosen Gonzalez joined MDPL executive director Daniel Ciraldo on stage to speak about the important work the MDPL does to ensure our community maintains its archictectural heritage and leaves a rich design legacy for generations to come. The MDPL has been a force in Miami Beach for more than 45 years, and the celebration of the unique architecture and design of Miami Beach will be at the heart of MDPL’s revitalized Art Deco Museum, debuting in 2024. The event was held to raise awareness for the Art Deco Museum ’22-’24 capital campaign. The museum, located at 10th street and Ocean Drive in Miami Beach, is in the process of a multi-million dollar fundraising effort to implement its master plan. The upgrades will allow for an improved guest experience with enhanced educational programming and event capabilities.

The museum is open daily 9am-5pm. Currently on view: Radio Waves: Miami Beach and the Golden Age of Radio. Admission to the museum is free for Miami-Dade residents.
