Pérez Art Museum Miami Gala Raises More than $1 Million For Art Education, Sets Attendance Record
Undefined
March 9, 2016
The highly anticipated evening, conceptualized by Lee Brian Schrager, featured three exclusive experiences – Chef’s Table seated dinner, Supper Club lounge and Remix after party – with delicious dishes created by chef, author and Food Network personality Alex Guarnaschelli.
Pérez Art Museum Miami Director Franklin Sirmans honored Chuck Close, one of the most celebrated and influential artists of our time, at the Chef’s Table seated dinner. The museum holds three examples of Close’s work in its permanent collection and in 2004, the museum presented the exhibition Chuck Close Prints: Process and Collaboration, which explored the artist’s innovative approach to printmaking.
Simultaneously in the museum’s second-floor special exhibition galleries, Supper Club partygoers enjoyed a chic and provocative setting with live sets by DJ DZA and interactive art stations, including digital sketch artists and a wall to ceiling coloring book. As the party started winding down, guests were led to the Remix after party by a seven-piece band. Remix quickly came to life with dance throwbacks by DJ Jessica Who, keeping guests dancing under the stars until the early hours of the morning.

2016 Knight Arts Challenge looks for the best ideas for the arts
Undefined
April 12, 2016
Posted by Amy Haimerl. Photo: NorthernLights.MN, a St. Paul Knight Arts Challenge winner
Shane Wynn had an idea.
Well, actually, the Akron, Ohio, resident has a lot of ideas. So many ideas that Wynn, a photographer, keeps two lists: one for problems she’d like to solve and one for projects she’d like to create. When she hits on an idea that intersects both lists, she knows she’s found something compelling.
“I start with the problem and then wait for something to intersect that works visually,” she said. “That way I am making something that someone will care about and I can exact some change.”
For her current idea, she saw an opportunity to photograph women leaders in Akron against a backdrop of the city’s underutilized public spaces. The project, called #overlooked, was enough to earn Wynn a $5,000 grant from the first Knight Arts Challenge Akron. In the fall, she will hang nine oversized portraits in vacant windows downtown.
“I’ve been super excited since I found out about these challenges,” said Wynn. “It has been very hard to get funding as an independent artist. This has really given people an opportunity.”
When the Knight Arts Challenge first began in Miami in 2008, it, too, was an idea with hopes of a big impact. Knight Foundation decided to open up funding to everyone in the city with an idea for the arts, as a way to find the little nuggets of inspiration lurking inside the hearts and minds of residents.
Eight years later, the challenge has turned into a juggernaut that launches today in four cities: Akron, Ohio; Detroit; St. Paul and again Miami. In each, it has provided the fuel for grassroots projects and big ideas to grow. This year, submissions are being accepted through May 2.
“Good ideas can come from anywhere, so we wanted to lower the barrier to access for applying,” said Victoria Rogers, Knight Foundation’s VP/arts. “Art is so critical to our cities. The places where we want to live need to be vibrant and that vibrancy usually comes from the arts. So there need to be strong ecosystems: Cities need artists and makers and institutions that support them and funders who fund them and consumers of the arts.”
“Frankly you need each and everyone of those characteristics to have a successful city.”
Nearly 20,000 ideas have been submitted to the Knight Arts Challenge so far, and 661 winning projects have split almost $44 million.
And that has helped fuel the overall economic impact of the arts across the nation. In its most recent survey, Washington, D.C.-based Americans for the Arts found that the arts industry generated more than $135 billion in economic activity, which equates to 4 million full-time jobs and $87 billion in household income.
And this year, the Knight Foundation will spread $8 million among its winners. There application, available at KnightArts.org is only 150 words, and there are only three rules for applying:
· The project must be about arts
· It takes place in or benefits Akron, Detroit, Miami or St. Paul
· Applicants must find other funding to match the Knight Foundation’s grant
Beyond those three stipulations, there are no limitations on how wild, how wacky, how large or even how small an idea can be. It could involve art installations on Detroit’s urban farms (Burnside Farms Detroit, winner 2015); or improvisational theater on the streets, homes and offices of St. Paul (Theater of Public Policy, 2015); or an exploration of fear in the media through sculptures of headless chickens called “withervanes” in Miami (Locust Projects, 2015); or refurbishing rail cars and shipping containers to be used as homes, galleries and studios in Akron (Akron Soul Train, 2016).
“The projects that are chosen are reflective of the nature of the city. To me that’s really important. That gets to the authenticity of the arts in these cities,” Rogers said. “Through the arts, our stories are told – our successes, our failures, our concerns, our joys. The arts are a great forum for bringing us together and connecting people to place.”
For Piper Carter, a Knight Arts Challenge winner in Detroit, the program has helped her find a way to develop and sustain ideas she was already passionate about.
“Knight recognizes the people who are already doing work here,” Carter said. “The morale becomes uplifted. They aren’t crowning people the king or queen of Detroit. I’m doing these projects anyway. I had been doing them for free, but the money helps to be able to create sustainable situations. There is a difference between being passionate and creating something sustainable.”
The first year she was involved with the challenge, she was part of a team that developed the Hyper Interactive Hip Hop Mardi Gras Parade, which merged technology, innovation and hip hop with the spirit of a Caribbean Mardi Gras festival. As a founder of a maker-space, Carter helped teach youth how to make electronic wearables for their costumes.
“They put lights inside the costumes and created a ‘call and response’ where if you push something, then this light would happen,” she said.
Her next win was for a women’s hip hop concert and conference that will use music to get women interested in technology. And in 2017, Knight Arts Challenge funding is allowing her to expand Detroit’s fifth-annual Dilla Youth Day, which focuses on hip hop, technology and engineering for youth.
“I love technology,” said Carter. “I’m interested in tech. I’m a supporter of women in tech, girls in tech. I’m interested because I love hip hop and the basis of hip hop is in technology. … I like doing these types of events with marginalized people because it’s very important to help cultivate a culture of hope and fullness. That’s very key. Part of nurturing a culture of hopefulness is to be able to provide support for solutions. Art has to be there. We have to have color in our world.”
To find out more about how to apply in your city, visit KnightArts.org.
In each city there will be Community Conversations with Knight staff and past grantees offering tips and insights about the challenge. Find a list of those events, and RSVP in Akron, Detroit, Miami and St. Paul.

Museum Circle Members Enjoyed a Preview of Doris Salcedo
Undefined
April 21, 2016
The work of Salcedo is deeply rooted in her country’s social and political landscape, including its long history of civil conflicts. Her sculptures and installations address these fraught circumstances with elegance and a poetic sensibility that balances the gravitas of her subjects with subtle formality. Rather than making literal representations of violence or trauma, Salcedo’s artworks convey a sense of an absent, missing body and evoke a collective sense of loss. The resulting pieces engage with multiple dualities at once—strength and fragility, the ephemeral and the enduring—and bear elements of healing and reparation in the careful, laborious process of their making. Salcedo grounds her art in rigorous fieldwork, which involves extensive interviews with people who have experienced loss and trauma in their everyday lives. This process imbues her work with an intimate connection to the personal that speaks to collective experiences and universal emotions. In more recent years, Salcedo has created large-scale, site-specific installations around the world, including in Turkey, Italy, England, and her native Colombia.
