Art of Black Miami hits a milestone this year celebrating ten years. along with a slew of Miami Art Week events that highlight the work of Black artists.

Miami's Adrienne Arsht Center unleashes the 16th year of its Free Gospel Sundays series this weekend. The program will feature world-renowned acts as well as local talent through April 2023 and will include for the first time popup performances around Miami-Dade County.

The awards are just the latest round of funding from Knight New Work 2020, which was created last year to support the performing arts community during the COVID-19 pandemic. The foundation allocated $10,000 each, first to 18 Miami-based artists and art organizations, then to 19 community leaders who got to direct the grant money to a person/group of their choosing.

Oolite Arts launched the contest in cooperation with Miami-Dade County and its chief bay officer, Irela Bague, with the aim of shining a spotlight on South Florida’s once-pristine bay, which suffers from hypersalinity and a host of contaminants including sewage spills, fertilizers and other plastic pollutants. The public has the chance to cast their vote through Wednesday, Aug. 11.
