Ongoing Project

The Greater Miami Chamber of Commerce initiated a major audience development initiative, formally known as e-Arts Pass, to help develop increased ticket buying and participation of Miami-Dade's growing and diverse business community in arts and cultural events. The E-Pass now known as E-Pass to Arts, Sports & Attractions is a monthly e-mail promoting cultural, sporting and entertainment organizations with the purpose of notifying our members of two for one discount tickets or special offers from participating organizations.
