Miami is booming- with construction projects- and with art.
What is being created is diverse, challenging and fun.It is because of our artists and their work that Miami is evolving into a city that others are taking a closer look.A large part of that growth is directly related to the amazing projects funded by a Knight Arts Challenge grant.Over the past 5 years the Knight Foundation has invested over 20 million dollars in this community-based contest,funding a wide variety of projects from all points of the county that make Miami, well, Miami.Because of the KAC, we now have:
- Sight and sound installations on the New World Symphony wall
- South Florida Composers Alliance sound installations in public spaces
- Dance lessons for special needs students
- Sculpture Garden at the Bass Museum
- Everglades Artist-in-Residence
- Free concerts in our neighborhood parks
- Cultural Passport for Miami Dade County Public Schools students
- Weird Miami Bus tours
- Mentorship for African-American playwrights
- Living coral as an art form
- And so many more!
We have launched our 6th open competition for South Florida-based artists to submit their best idea to the KF for a chance to win a Knight Arts Challenge.Together we can encourage everyone in our community-be it an individual artist, a non-profit organization-to take advantage of this amazing opportunity to secure a grant for their idea to see the light of day, and to make Miami an even better place to live.All it takes is a good idea to be submitted to KnightArts.org between Feb. 4 and March 4.
