About BFI:

BFI is an artist-run presenting organization dedicated to creativity, experimentation, and discourse in contemporary art. BFI creates a bridge between Miami and the international art world by curating programs featuring both local and global artists at sites throughout Miami-Dade County, and in collaboration with national and international partnering organizations. Having facilitated over 150 exhibitions, lectures, performances, and events by a range of local and national artists of diverse backgrounds that are free to the public, BFI’s primary curatorial initiatives are: 

• WATERPROOF MIAMI a site-specific curatorial platform through which we present exhibitions and public programming that directly address environmental issues facing South Florida, in collaboration with Bridge Initiative.

• WEIRD MIAMI a series of artist-led tours that show locals and visitors Miami through artists’ eyes. 

BFI prioritizes working with artists who live in, grew up in, or spent significant time in Miami. Keeping the network of exchange between artists and curators who have ties with the city bolsters the local community’s ability to participate in the global art world. BFI is committed to cultivating sustainable economic relationships between artists and the institutions that contract their labor, and in this effort has been a W.A.G.E. (Working Artists and the Greater Economy) certified organization since 2014.
