Inspired by Creativity

OUR MISSION

collaboARTive empowers emerging and mid-career artists by providing affordable studio spaces and fostering creative community in Miami-Dade and Broward Counties. Through our growing network of benefactors and patrons, curated programming, professional development opportunities, and strategic partnerships, we cultivate an independent ecosystem where artists thrive economically and artistically, thereby strengthening our local cultural landscape.

OUR VISION

We are inspired by creativity, community, and conversation and believe that these lead to opportunities for personal growth and development. We seek to provide opportunities for more people to explore their own creativity.

OUR BELIEFS

  • Art is work.

  • A dedicated studio space is essential for nurturing an artist's practice.

  • Artists thrive within a community of their peers.

  • Creativity is inherent in everyone; we all require time and space to connect or reconnect with our creative selves. Creative Play provides this crucial resource, enhancing the wellbeing of all individuals.

We acknowledge that collaboARTive's studios operate on the ancestral homelands of the Tequesta, Calusa, and presently, the Seminole Tribe of Florida and the Miccosukee Tribe of Indians of Florida. We pay our respects to the traditional custodians of this land, past and present, and honor their enduring relationship with these territories.

As an arts organization fostering creativity and community in Miami, we recognize our responsibility to acknowledge the historical and contemporary presence of Indigenous peoples and their profound cultural contributions to this region. We commit to supporting and amplifying Indigenous voices through our mission of creating accessible spaces for artistic expression and cultural exchange.
