Completely describe Project approved by the Grants Panel and in a separate narrative detail all revisions
to the Project based upon the City Commission approved award. Please be as specific as possible; name
of event, specific dates, venues, times, artists, etc. Use extra page if necessary.
Protect description as approved by Grants Panel:
The events, exhibitions and other programs in art,design,and performance at the Miami Beach Urban Studios form the
2014-15 project description. These are the products of the faculty members in the college who have won prestigious
teaching awards and have been recognized nationally and internationally for their rigorous scholarly work,research and
creative activities. Collectively,the College's faculty/alumni have been awarded a McArthur Genius Award, multiple
Guggenheim Fellowships, Fulbright Fellowships and numerous awards,honors and prizes.All MBUS performances,
exhibitions, symposia, and participatory art events are allied to,and situated within, our accredited academic degree
programs. As such,the range of MBUS programming is objectively&continually reviewed through rigorous academic
peer and institutional review processes that ensure that all content upholds and sustains the rigorous academic and
intellectual standards that are fundamental to the foundational ethos of a major research university such as FIU. While we
are working hard to get critical review from local and national press,and expect to improve on this front with the recent
addition of Evan Northup, our Director of PR,we have a continual dialog among and between faculty members and
professional colleagues about the work in the Urban Studios.
With the 2104 award of the$90,000,three-year,Knight Community Arts grant for Growlight,a career discovery program
for at-risk youth starting in the summer of 2014,the Miami Beach Urban Studios is poised to expand its impact on the
community and to enhance its artistic an design reach. Guided by the belief that advances in innovation, inspiration,and
creativity are intergenerational goals that may be honed in the academic setting of higher education,but must also be
nourished in primary and secondary educational environments,and supported through life-long learning,the mission of the
Miami Urban Studios is dedicated to offering engagement platforms for publics of all ages. Contact with recognized faculty
members and outside artists and designers serves to advance the discipline of art in new ways only possible through the
multiple access points available to an institution of higher education. In addition to the faculty and outside artists, students
and the public also have contact with the artist Xavier Cortada,CARTA's Artist in Residence,who is continually working
on projects such as FLOR 500 and his Art for the Compact Muon Solenoid(CMS)experiment at CERN's Large Hadron
Collider.
Project description as revised (if applicable) based upon the City Commission approved award:
Changes to projects awarded under the Artistic Disciplines program must still adhere to the requirement that the
work is new or has never before been presented in Miami Beach.
