Knight Arts Challenge: Miami
The John S. and James L. Knight Foundation's Arts Challenge: Miami, a five-year initiative launched in 2008, has been an important vehicle for generating new ideas and attracting new capital to the South Florida arts and cultural scene, an interim review conducted by AEA Consulting argues. The report, Knight Arts Challenge: Miami (58 pages, PDF), looked at the activities of the initiative through 2011, which included $20 million in grants awarded through a community-based competition to strengthen the region's artistic and cultural development and encourage the use of the arts to bridge differences among diverse groups. Recommendations for the initiative going forward include the creation of a "people's choice" award to more actively engage the entire South Florida cultural community and distributing Arts Challenge applications in English, Spanish, and Haitian Creole.
