DEADLINE TO APPLY MAY 30, 2027
Noche de Arte began as a simple but meaningful idea: to create space for artists to make work live, every Monday, in the lobby of the InterContinental Miami. That weekly act of art-making remains the heart of the program. What started as live painting has grown over the past five years into a dynamic cultural initiative that connects local artists with hotel guests, downtown visitors, and community members from around the world.
Participating artists receive meaningful professional support, including curatorial guidance, marketing and promotion, and the opportunity to present a solo exhibition. At the same time, the program has built a loyal and growing audience of regular attendees who return each week to engage with artists, experience the creative process in real time, and be part of a welcoming arts community in the heart of downtown Miami.
Presented in partnership with InterContinental Miami and the Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau, with support from the Miami Downtown Development Authority and the Miami-Dade County Department of Cultural Affairs, Noche de Arte has evolved into much more than a weekly activation.
With the support of the Miami-Dade County Department of Cultural Affairs and the Cultural Affairs Council, the Miami-Dade County Mayor and the Board of County Commissioners.
