For 37 years, Miami Light Project has been a leading cultural force in the Miami community and beyond. We place artists at the center of everything we do, and our commitment to supporting artists as agents of change has contributed significantly to Miami’s emergence as an internationally recognized center for art and culture.
Our work is focused on:
Commissioning and presenting new, multidisciplinary work. Since 1989, we’ve presented over 220 companies, representing 30 countries, and commissioned more than 160 new works;
Year-round Residencies for emerging and mid-career artists from Miami and around the world;
Community Engagement that embraces and reflects the cultural diversity of our community - providing workshops, masterclasses, dialogues that engage audiences in the work on stage and fosters a sense of community and belonging;
Professional Development - Mentoring and training Miami-based artists and theater technicians through our Here & Now Initiative and Technical Fellowship Program, providing a platform to launch their careers as artists and production professionals.
Miami Light Project's mission is to commission and present live performances by today's leading contemporary dance, music and theater artists from around the world; to support the development of emerging and established performing artists living in Miami; and to cultivate passionate and engaged audiences that reflect the diverse cultural make-up of South Florida. Miami Light Project is an art and culture forum to explore the issues that define contemporary society.
