About Us
Live Arts Miami: A Home for Bold Performance & Creative Discovery
As one of Miami’s longest-running and most adventurous performing arts platforms, Live Arts Miami is a launchpad for artists and a gathering place for ideas. We present dynamic performances, immersive learning experiences, and community programs that spark curiosity, foster connection, and celebrate the transformative power of the live arts.
It’s where artists, audiences, and students come together to be moved, inspired, and united through powerful moments on and beyond the stage.
Mission
Our mission is to empower creativity through live performances and programs that connect people across cultures, build community, and move our city forward.
Vision
A Miami where culture is essential, artists thrive, and live performance is a catalyst for connection, joy, and creative freedom.
Core values
Cultural Sustainability:
Organizational and creative practices that promote resilience and restore balance and connection to our communities and the planet we inhabit.
Creative Change-making:
Art that fosters transformation and advances local and global struggles for justice, equity, and freedom. A culture not just unfettered and free, but one that frees and empowers people to actively participate in the (re)creation of our collective future.
Cultural Democracy and Creative Freedom:
A local arts environment that is accessible, fair, anti-racist, and inclusive. Performing art programs, policies and practices that serve to uplift, strengthen, and unify people and celebrates the rich complexity of our multicultural city.
Arts-based Learning and Exploration:
Cultural programs and activities that broaden the local horizon of possibilities by empowering working artists, local students and the next generation of arts audiences to create Miami’s brightest future through vibrant and edifying exchange and collaboration across differences.
A Fair Cultural Economy:
Cultural work is real work. We recognize artists and cultural producers as essential laborers and strive to sustain practices that promote fair compensation and treatment while equipping emerging and established artists to advance in their careers.
