Annually, 3-5 dance, theater and multi-media artists are selected for this initiative. In addition to a commissioning fee, the artists receive substantial rehearsal time in The Light Box, full production support & professional development assistance.
Through Here & Now, Miami Light Project has commissioned work from more than 70 South Florida-based artists.Over 30 of those artists have gone on to perform that work in 14 states and 15 countries for an estimated audience of 20,000 people world-wide. In 2008, Miami Light Project’s Here & Now program received a grant from the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation as part of the Knight Arts Challenge, a matching grant program to help transform the South Florida arts.
