The Koubek Center at MDC
A South Florida landmark with a long and rich history as a cultural hub, The Koubek Center is dedicated to building community through the arts. Over the past several decades, the Center has offered a variety of activities, including workshops, art exhibitions, theater performances, literary readings and concerts. It is a place for artists and local arts organizations to explore, experiment, collaborate and share their work with the community. The Koubek Center includes a 200-seat theater, an expansive garden, classrooms, rehearsal and multi-use spaces. Built in 1929 by Austrian trader John J. Koubek as a gift to his wife, it was later donated to the University of Miami and acquired by Miami Dade College in 2011.
