T
he Adrienne Arsht Center’s commissioning program, “Miami Made,” is calling for new proposals from South Florida artists interested in extending the boundaries of the performing arts by creating, writing, composing, or choreographing a new work. If selected, that work may be supported by and presented as a work-in-progress or a completed short work at the Adrienne Arsht Center during the 2012 Miami Made Weekend. Miami Made has been supporting the work of local artists since before the center opened, beginning in 2005. Artists living and working in South Florida are invited to submit proposals for new works in any area of the performing arts, including mixed media, which extend beyond current artistic practices and incorporate new technology. Projects may be of any scale and suitable for performance either indoors or outdoors. In developing their concepts, artists should take into account the range of venues and alternative spaces at the center. (Visit online at <www.arshtcenter.org/tech> for details.) Proposal deadline is Monday, Nov. 14, at 5 p.m. For guidelines, go to <www.arsht-
