Dejha Carrington
Commissioner
As Miami’s arts scene matures, we are faced with challenges of sustainability, discovery and local impact. While more Miami artists find success on the national and global stage, the city remains a difficult community for mid-career local artists to grow in their craft. How might we attract new local collectors to support these artists, build more art around Miami’s culture, and ultimately build a more sustainable arts community?
Commissioner will offer a quarterly subscription to small-scale, limited-edition artworks from mid-career Miami artists and experiential programming around our city’s artists, art, and culture. The series will provide a much-needed art commissioning and cultivation platform for local artists and inspire new Miamians to take an active role as patrons in the community.
