# Locust Projects

*Non-profit gallery / art space • Miami, FL, United States*

## About

Miami’s longest running alternative art space supporting artists and artistic experimentation.

Founded by artists for artists in 1998, Locust Projects is Miami’s longest running nonprofit alternative art space. We produce, present, and nurture ambitious and experimental new art and the exchange of ideas through commissioned exhibitions and projects, artist residencies, summer art intensives for teens, and public programs on contemporary art and curatorial practice. As a leading incubator of new art and ideas, Locust Projects emphasizes boundary-pushing creative endeavors, risk-taking and experimentation by local, national and international artists. We invest in South Florida’s arts community by providing artists with project grants and empower creative careers by supporting the administrative work of being an artist through an onsite artist resource hub and access to pro bono legal services.

The only organization in Miami focused on commissioning experimental large-scale exhibitions, Locust Projects gives artists the freedom and expansive space to realize ambitious ideas that no one else is willing to produce that lead to vital career breakthroughs and opportunities.

With our move in 2023, we have doubled in size from our previous Design District location. Our 8,000+ square foot industrial warehouse in Little River/Little Haiti is a laboratory for artists to dream big and introduce the public to new art and ideas relevant to Miami and to the times we live through their exhibitions and related performances, programs, and events.
