Bas Fisher Invitational is an artist-run presenting organization dedicated to creativity, experimentation, and discourse in contemporary art. Bas Fisher Invitational creates a bridge between Miami and the international art world by curating programs featuring both local and global artists at sites throughout Miami-Dade County, and in collaboration with national and international partnering organizations. Bas Fisher Invitational fosters community by offering support for artist projects, through WATERPROOF MIAMI a site-specific curatorial platform through which we present exhibitions and public programming that directly address environmental issues facing South Florida; and WEIRD MIAMI a series of artist-led tours that show locals and visitors Miami through artists’ eyes.
