Founded in 1989, Miami Light Project is a not-for-profit cultural organization, which commissions and presents artists from all over the world and throughout Miami. We support the vanguard in contemporary performance – dance, music, theater and multimedia artists who are internationally recognized for risk-taking innovation, technical virtuosity and thought-provoking content.

Our programmatic vision has led the way in establishing Miami as an internationally recognized center for art and culture, with a vibrant locally based artistic community. Given the wide array of artistic experience produced, across often intersecting mediums of the performing arts, we have found that our ability to attract and promote artists who collectively represent all forms of diversity is the most significant way of developing and engaging audiences, which are representative, inclusive.

We build our programs in a way that ensures a meaningful dialogue and a deeper relationship between artists, the neighborhood community we serve, and the diverse multi-layered audiences that we continue to develop.
