Culture Shock Miami, the audience development program of the Miami-Dade County Department of Cultural Affairs, is designed to introduce the next generation of audience members to live arts and cultural experiences at the age when they are beginning to make their own entertainment decisions. Culture Shock Miami Presents, a series dedicated to presenting nationally and internationally renowned artists that appeal specifically to the 13-22 year old age range, was created in 2013 and presents more than a dozen performances each season to the public and through free school field trips. We book artists to perform in Miami-Dade County owned and operated venues, South Miami-Dade Cultural Arts Center and Miami-Dade County Auditorium.
