Grants Programs and Technical Assistance Workshops The Department directly serves artists and cultural organizations through its competitive grants programs. Each of these programs is designed to address specific areas of cultural development ranging from the renovation of neighborhood cultural facilities to the support of exemplary programs by the community’s largest non-profit cultural organizations. Each of the Department’s grants programs involves a public review process with a peer panel evaluating grant requests. The panels’ grant recommendations are subsequently reviewed and approved by the Miami-Dade Cultural Affairs Council, the Miami-Dade County Board of County Commissioners and the Mayor of Miami-Dade County. All potential applicants are required to meet with a grants program administrator prior to submission of an application. All applicants must attend a workshop to become familiar with the Culture Grants Online – Miami system. Some grant programs require potential applicants to attend the program-specific workshops. Department of Cultural Affairs grant guidelines are available on our website www.miamidadearts.org.

About Miami-Dade County Department of Cultural Affairs The Miami-Dade County Department of Cultural Affairs and its volunteer advisory board, the Cultural Affairs Council, develop cultural excellence, diversity and participation throughout Miami-Dade County by strategically creating and promoting opportunities for our community’s thousands of artists and not-for-profit cultural organizations, and our residents and visitors who are their audiences. The Department of Cultural Affairs and the Cultural Affairs Council provide grants and technical assistance to cultural organizations and individual artists; develop and improve cultural facilities; create and advance arts education, public information and outreach programs; advocate for effective cultural policies and for more public and private resources to invest in cultural development; and promote and market our cultural assets broadly and innovatively. Miami-Dade County Art in Public Places is a program of the Miami-Dade County Department of Cultural Affairs and is responsible for the commission and purchase of artworks by contemporary artists in all media. One of the first public art programs in the country, Miami-Dade Art in Public Places was established in 1973 with the passage of an ordinance allocating 1.5% of construction cost of new county buildings for the purchase or commission of artworks, educational programs and collection maintenance. The Art Trust Fund is administered by a County Commission-appointed citizens’ board, the Art in Public Places Trust, in consultation with its Professional Advisory Committee. For more information about the Art in Public Places Program and the Miami-Dade Department of Cultural Affairs, please visit www.miamidade.gov/ publicart and www.miamidadearts.org.
