THE CORAL GABLES CULTURAL AFFAIRS COUNCIL
The Coral Gables Cultural Affairs Council, a not-for-profit Florida corporation, was organized in 1992 to serve as a catalyst in promoting all cultural manifestations in Miami-Dade County and other areas of Florida. The Council has been producing various events itself, among them the annual Mainly Mozart Festival, a series of chamber music which in 2008 will be played for the 15th consecutive year. Since 1995 it has also been publishing the monthly Coral Gables Cultural Calendar, a comprehensive brochure which is distributed free of charge throughout the City and mailed to interested parties in South Florida. The Council has been in the forefront of many of the County’s cultural and civic initiatives, among them the liaison with cultural attachés of foreign consulates and foreign cultural organizations operating in South Florida. All Council members are volunteers. Civic-minded residents, among them many arts professionals, they dedicate their energies to fulfill the Council’s basic goal: preserving and disseminating culture and strengthening our residents’ pride and sense of community.

The Council’s fund-raising branch is the New World Festival, Inc., a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization. Both are located at 1008 Alhambra Circle, Coral Gables, FL 33134, phone/fax: (305) 444-4755. The Council meets 8 times a year, on the last Thursday of the month. The 8 a.m. - 9:30 a.m. meetings, open to the public, take place at the Westin Colonnade Hotel, 180 Aragon Avenue, Coral Gables. The Council’s chairman is George Volsky, e-mail: george@mainlymozart.com.
