Miami Light Project, Inc.

Founded in 1989, Miami Light Project (MLP) is a not-for-profit cultural organization, which commissions and presents artists from all over the world and throughout Miami. We support the vanguard in contemporary performance - dance, music, theater and multimedia artists who are internationally recognized for risk-taking innovation, technical virtuosity and thought-provoking content. Our programmatic vision has led the way in establishing Miami as an internationally recognized center for art and culture, with a vibrant locally based artistic community. Miami Light Project's artistic programs focus on issues of relevance to our community within the context of an evolving global field of art and culture. Our activities include:
