Cubaocho Museum and Performing Art Center

Cubaocho Museum and Performing Arts Center is a cultural institution founded in 2007 by Roberto Ramos in the heart of Miami's Little Havana. Built around a collection of Cuban art spanning 1800 to 1959, Cubaocho operates simultaneously as a gallery, performance stage, gathering space, and creative hub — integrating painting, sculpture, music, dance, theater, literature, and film under one roof. The venue hosts a full range of private events, from intimate cocktail receptions to full venue buyouts, all set within gallery spaces surrounded by original artwork. Live Cuban music plays every night, and a full bar, handcrafted cocktails, a late-night Cuban kitchen, and a cigar lounge complement the experience for guests. Founder Roberto Ramos spent decades rescuing paintings and historical narratives nearly lost after the Cuban Revolution, and co-developed the academic text *Great Masters of Cuban Art* with historian Carlos Ramos and scholar Zeida Comesañas Sardiñas — making Cuban art from this period accessible to U.S. universities and fine arts programs. That legacy deepens the cultural context guests encounter throughout the space.
