Program Summary

Life Is Art has three primary areas of operation: Presentation, Education and Facilitation.
* We provide opportunities for artists to grow and share their work, as well as learn how to be successful as an artist.
* Included in our programs are opportunities to promote local businesses and other non-profit organizations, generating additional economic and social impact.
* In addition, we work with other entities, municipalities, non-profits and businesses to assist them in leveraging arts in their own projects.

Presentation – River Of Art
The River Of Art set of events serves to bring people together in strategic venues to foster appreciation for the arts while providing opportunities for local artists and businesses to engage potential patrons. An important economic engine for participants, the event locations are selected with the goal of dispersing opportunity throughout Miami-Dade—in much the same way the Miami River flows through the region, hence the name.

Education – Art/Work
Through entrepreneurial education, the goal of the Art/Work programs is to provide all people with the knowledge and tools necessary to create robust art commerce. This is achieved through a variety of educational formats, including workshops, seminars, salons, roundtables, visitations and interactive experiences.

Facilitation/Infrastructure/Advocacy – Culture Builds Communities
The Culture Builds Communities programs are designed around helping others bring more art in a meaningful way into their own projects and sectors. The goal of these programs is to enhance opportunities to leverage artistic work for the benefit of the community and the artists. Advocacy is directed at supporting the artists and assuring their best interests are served for their continued sustainability in our area.
