Borscht Corp. was founded by artists in 2008 to support film, video and new media makers in Miami; over the last ten years, it has helped to bring critical attention to the city’s unique stories and storytellers through its programs, services and festivals. Borscht aids in the creation, presentation, and distribution of experimental work by artists who have been historically marginalized or ignored by mainstream and independent film circles. Works supported through Borscht have gone on to garner acclaim at international film festivals, and have been included in gallery shows and exhibitions at major museums

“We strive to support institutions that share our artist-centered values. The small grassroots arts organizations as well as the museums that comprise our grantees provide invaluable opportunities for artists to express their unique perspectives on the pressing urgencies of the day. We hope that our grants help to amplify artists’ voices within their communities, in national discussions and debates, and across platforms in the international contemporary art world.”
