MIAMI On Monday, December 1, Miami Light Project was awarded a $200,000 Knights Foundation Arts Partnership Grant.
This grant, paid out over four years, will allow them to present more original, locally-produced performance art by expanding their Here & Now program, which presents bold, local and original performance.
With this grant, they will be able to expand Here & Now to deepen opportunities for local artists, while building audiences for new work. In addition, Miami Light Project will establish an annual residency and retreat program for the commissioned artists.
