Founded in 1989, Miami Light Project is a not-for-profit cultural organization that supports the vanguard of contemporary performance – dance, music, theater, and multimedia artists who are internationally recognized for risk-taking innovation, technical virtuosity, and thought-provoking content.

For 37 years, Miami Light Project has been a leading cultural force in the Miami community and beyond. We place artists at the center of everything we do, and our commitment to supporting artists as agents of change has contributed to Miami’s emergence as an internationally recognized center for art and culture.

Our work focuses on:

• Commissioning and presenting contemporary, multidisciplinary work.
• Since 1989, we’ve presented over 220 companies, representing 30 countries, and commissioned more than 160 new works;
• Year-round Residencies for emerging and mid-career artists from Miami and around the world;
• Community Engagement that embraces and reflects the cultural diversity of our community – providing workshops, masterclasses, and dialogues that engage audiences in the work on stage and fosters a sense of community and belonging;
• Professional Development – Mentoring and training Miami-based artists and theater technicians through our Here & Now Initiative and Technical Fellowship Program, providing a platform to launch their careers as artists and production professionals.
