Miami Dade College, Cultural Affairs
300 NE Second Avenue, Suite 1423
Miami, FL 33132

The mission of the Cultural Affairs Department at Miami Dade College is to produce and present the newest, most challenging contemporary and culturally specific work being created in the U.S. and abroad, with an emphasis on Latin America and the Caribbean, and to present work that is reflective of our multi-ethnic community. Established in 1990, the Cultural Affairs Department is unique among arts presenting organizations in its emphasis on the commissioning of new work and commitment to residency opportunities that allow artists to engage the community in the process of making art.

We support the development of new work by artists, present performance in our annual performance series and conduct community residencies and professional artist workshops. All performance disciplines are represented. International work, especially Latin American and Caribbean, are emphasized as well as projects that involve international collaboration. Cultural Affairs balances its season with new work, innovation, risk-taking and tradition. There is no formal artist selection process and artist information is accepted unsolicited; however, the department rarely programs performances or schedules artist residencies until Cultural Affairs staff has met an artist in person or seen a company/artist live in performance.
