SWWIM Reading Series at The Betsy Writer's Room presents eight celebrated women poets in residence, September 2025-April 2026. Each visiting poet pairs with Miami's vibrant literary voices for intimate readings, fostering cross-generational dialogue and celebrating contemporary women's poetry.
This series offers audiences rare access to emerging and established poets in an intimate setting, fostering meaningful connections between writers, readers, and Miami's thriving arts community. Presented with support from the Jorge M. Perez Family Foundation CreARTE.
An evening hosted by Lesley Goldwasser at The Betsy-South Beach, presented in partnership with the Everglades Foundation. The event features acclaimed conservation photographer Mac Stone, whose powerful work captures the connection between people and the natural world and is currently on exhibition at The Betsy.
The CHOPIN Salons take place at the historic Miami Beach Woman's Club. These elegant events are complimentary for Chopin Foundation members, but everyone is welcome!
As we conclude our 50th Anniversary Celebration, the November CHOPIN Salon welcomes Ian Hobson, a top laureate of the very first National Chopin Piano Competition in 1975. He is joined by violinist Andrés Cárdenes, a winner of the 1982 Tchaikovsky International Violin Competition. Their chamber performance promises an afternoon of exceptional artistry, collaboration, and musical excellence.
