ABOUT WAVEMAKER GRANTS AT LOCUST PROJECTS:

Locust Projects, Miami’s longest running nonprofit alternative art space, makes art happen by supporting artists with opportunities and resources—like WaveMaker incubator grants. Since 2015, WaveMaker has awarded $570,000 to 116 of Miami’s visionary artists.  Grantees receive up to $6,000 each in three categories: New Work / Projects, Long-Haul Projects, and Research & Development + Implementation. In the spirit of Locust Projects’ artist-driven mission, WaveMakers experiment and take risks, creating innovative work that is shared with the public in unconventional spaces.

WaveMaker Grants are made possible by The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts' Regional Regranting Program, a network of 32 partner organizations across the country.

In July 2023, Locust Projects announced the 2023 WaveMaker Grant awardees. Selected through an open call process by a team of local and national artists and arts professionals, thirteen visionary artists and artist collectives will receive up to $6,000 each to create innovative work that will be shared with the public across Miami in non-traditional venues and platforms.

The 2023 WaveMakers are: New Work / Projects: Trish Gutierrez and Nicole Pedraza, Monica Lopez de Victoria, Laura Marsh, Karen McKinnon and Caecilia Tripp, misael soto, and Hsieh Yi Chin; Long-Haul Projects: Nicole Nyariri and Third Portal; Research & Development + Implementation: Isabella Marie Garcia, Luna Palazzolo, Christina Pettersson, Martina Malka Potlach, and Monica Sorelle. 

The 2023 WaveMaker selection panel included: Terence Price, Miami-based artist and 2022 WaveMaker grantee for Finding Sue; Adeze Wilford, Curator at MOCA North Miami; Amelia Broussard, Director of Artist Initiatives and Exhibitions at Antenna Gallery, Warhol Foundation Regional Regranting partner in New Orleans; and Kalaija Mallery, Executive and Artistic Director at The Luminary, Warhol Foundation Regional Regranting partner in St Louis.
