Arts & Culture

We depend on the generosity of individual donors to help fund our year-round programs and initiatives. Your contribution enables us to continue our efforts to empower Miami’s performing artists and audiences at this most critical time, and we are truly thankful.

In the face of rapidly diminishing funding and disappearing platforms for the performing arts, impactful community programs like our LALA (Live Arts Lab Alliance) Artist Residencies help to sustain the vitality of the live arts ecosystem in Miami, facilitating innovative forms of interdisciplinary and cross-cultural exchange among the city’s artists, audiences, and students.

In pursuit of cultural democracy, radical inclusivity and open access during these challenging times, our programs work to equip artists, students and the community at large with the skills, resources and tools needed to work for communal change—but we can’t do it alone.

We are a people’s stage, built from the ground up and uplifted by the very people we serve, and we depend on your generous support to continue this important work.

Live Arts Miami is one of the city’s oldest and boldest performing arts series

An action-driven, people-centered platform for powerful performances, impactful community programs and learning experiences that spark dialogue, raise awareness around pressing issues, and open minds and hearts in all who take part. A place for artists, audiences, and students to come together as one.

Mission

Our mission is to empower artists, audiences, and students to cultivate change in our community through transformative programs and performances in the live arts.

Vision

Our vision is an equitable and democratic creative culture in our community. A thriving and fenceless garden where art is more than a delicate and precious rosebush cared for by expert gardeners; it is a wild and native grass made nourishing and ubiquitous through open collaborations, cultural cross-pollinations, and artful disruptions of the status quo. An artistic community that bears witness to injustice while bearing the fruits of the future, one where ‘artist’ is just another word for ‘person’ and the creative process is synonymous with freedom.
