Art Basel is over, and the 1% have all gone back to The Hamptons or Dubai or their secret "rich people only" underground compounds where they'll wait out the apocalypse. But don't worry, Miami artists -- New Times still loves you. We're handing out our annual MasterMind awards again this year, bestowing $1,000 grants upon Miami's most deserving artists.
In years past, the MasterMind awards have helped out some pretty
impressive folks. The Borscht Film Festival used its winnings to submit
its films to festivals like Cannes and Sundance, essentially introducing
Borscht to the international film community. Jorge Rubiera took our
cash and gave us (and the rest of the world) Birdwatchers in
return. And before Roofless Records became the recipient of a Knight
Foundation grant, we gave the label a boost with award monies of our
own.
Just about any Miami-based, arts-minded person or organization can apply
for MasterMind award consideration: painters, sculptors, installation
artists, musicians, filmmakers, poets, performance artists and beyond.
But you can't sit around and wait for us to find you. To apply, send us
the following information:
