CREATIVE FITNESS FOR CURIOUS PEOPLE
Live Arts Labs Alliance (LALA) is Live Arts Miami’s artist creative community program, offering opportunities for artists, makers, and creatively curious people to gather, connect, build their creative practice, and make new work. Through artist-led workshops, works-in-progress, commissions, and relational projects, LALA invites people to exercise their creative muscles, encounter new practices, exchange ideas, and connect with one another.
Rooted in exploration and process, LALA is a space where creative practice is strengthened, new approaches are encouraged, and new work can develop.
LALA is built around process rather than perfection. Whether you’re developing a new work, encountering a practice for the first time, looking for creative community, or curious about what happens when people make things together, there is a place for you here.
Explore upcoming LALA programs, workshops, artist opportunities, and calls below.
LALA OPEN STUDIO
Creative Fitness for Curious People
Once a month, on Sundays, LALA Open Studio invites an artist to lead an afternoon of creative exploration at the Koubek Center. Each gathering offers a different entry point into artistic practice – from movement, performance, writing, sound, and storytelling to unexpected forms of making and experimentation.
You don’t need to be a professional artist or arrive with a finished idea. Open Studio is free and open to everyone. Come curious, participate at your own pace, and meet others.
LALA WORKS IN PROGRESS (WIP)
LALA Works in Progress gives Miami-based artists an opportunity to develop new work with mentorship, peer exchange, and direct audience feedback.
Selected artists share projects while they are still taking shape – creating room for experimentation, questions, revisions, and discoveries before the work reaches its final form.
LALA DOWNTOWN | CALL CLOSED
Thank you to all the artists who submitted proposals for LALA Downtown, a Live Arts Miami initiative commissioning audience-centered works for public spaces in Downtown Miami. Through LALA Downtown, selected local artists will receive commissioning support, with mentorship and development opportunities tailored to individual projects. Their work will be presented as part of Live Arts Miami’s inaugural public space performance festival in spring 2027. The call for projects is now closed, and submissions are under review. Stay tuned for announcements and future LALA opportunities!
