Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM) is pleased to announce Craig Robins and Jackie Soffer as the honorees for the 12th annual Art of the Party, the museum's largest fundraiser of the year, on Saturday, November 15, 2025.  The evening celebrates Robins and Soffer for their visionary leadership at the intersection of art and design, through their leadership in retail, hospitality, real estate, and philanthropy, which has helped shape Miami into the world-class cultural destination it is today. Art of the Party features live music, a cocktail reception, and a seated dinner, as well as the announcement of the seventh annual Pérez Prize, which recognizes outstanding achievement by an artist who has created a meaningful impact on artistic practice and the global art historical narrative. "In addition to their leading roles as philanthropists supporting Miami's cultural institutions, Craig and Jackie have done more than anyone in Miami to share great works of art as an integral part of our environment. They have truly made art a part of people's daily lives in Aventura and the Miami Design District, something to be admired, contemplated, and shared by anyone and everyone," said Franklin Sirmans, Sandra and Tony Tamer Director at PAMM. Art of the Party celebrates Miami's flagship art museum by bringing together cultural philanthropists, artists, civic leaders, and arts supporters from around the world. Funds from Art of the Party support the museum's robust arts education program, the largest of its kind outside the Miami-Dade County Public Schools system—the fourth largest school system in the nation—while also funding PAMM's broader mission. As a member of PAMM's board of trustees since 2013, and co-chair of its Collectors Council, Robins helps guide the museum's vision. Together, Robins and Soffer have enriched PAMM's collection with more than 300 donated works, and co-chaired Art of the Party 2023, among further enduring gestures that anchor their civic and cultural legacy at PAMM and beyond. As partners in life and vision, Robins and Soffer continue to fuel Miami's creative spirit—building spaces, championing artists, and leaving a lasting mark on the city's cultural landscape For event information or to purchase individual tickets online, visit pamm.org/aotp25.
