Locust Projects is an arts incubator producing and presenting exhibitions, programs and projects. Championing risk-taking and experimentation by local, national, and international artists at all career stages, the organization recently moved to a new location that doubled the its footprint to 8,000 square feet. The new space enables more projects, gatherings, and studio spaces for artists, and houses a dedicated woodshop, production studios and a soon-to-open Digital Innovation Lab. As Miami’s longest running alternative art space, Locust Projects strengthens the vital role art and artists play in the city not only by showcasing innovative artwork but also by providing professional development opportunities and access to pro bono legal services.

“The terrific range of project proposals we receive each year speaks to the mobile and porous disciplinary boundaries of contemporary art practice, and to the rich and inventive ways writers approach art today. They are alert to the urgent need to expand the conventions of art history and criticism with ideas from other discourses, such as black studies, transnational and diaspora studies, gender and women’s studies, and LGBT studies. The work of lesser known and overlooked artists and art communities continues to be mined, with writers articulating new ways to counter the striking imbalances of race, class and gender that continue to affect the arts and the culture industry.”
