Artist Resources

Empowering artists of all disciplines to build and sustain a creative practice through access to pro bono legal services, public programming, incubator grants, and professional development opportunities.

LegalARTLink at Locust Projects is a vital pro bono legal resource supporting local artists of all disciplines to protect their work and empower their careers.

LegalARTLink provides artists with access to free legal advice, referrals to pro bono attorneys, one-on-one counseling, and professional development webinars and workshops on a broad range of legal issues including estate planning, family law, immigration, contracts, business law, real estate, taxes, copyright, trademark, and more.

“LegalARTLink not only helps you professionalize your career, but gives you the strength and the knowledge to overcome any legal issue, whether you are an established or emerging artist, LegalARTLink from Locust Projects is there to help.”

— Haiiileen, LegalARTLink Artist Member

In partnership with Oolite Arts, Locust Projects offers the public access to artists, critics and curators through our Fall and Spring Talks series. Annually, 36 local artists get 1-on-1 studio visits with the 6 speakers.

Wavemaker Incubator Grants

In the spirit of Locust Projects’ artist-centric mission, WaveMaker grantees take risks and work outside of traditional institutions, creating innovative work that is accessible to the public in unconventional spaces in neighborhoods across Miami-Dade County.

Since 2015, WaveMaker has awarded $510,000 in funding to 102 of Miami’s visionary artists. Grantees receive up to $6,000 each in three categories: New Work / Projects, Long-Haul Projects, and Research & Development + Implementation.
