Description
Founded four years ago, the Bas Fisher Invitational is an independent gallery offering artists unrestricted freedom. As the gallery's reputation has grown, its programming has expanded to include collaborative shows with local artists. This grant will support the gallery's operational costs and the creation of its website to attract a broader swath of artists and aficionados. The founders want the space to become a self-sufficient institution that will inspire and galvanize Miami's creative consciousness.
Background
The Bas Fisher Invitational has earned a reputation as a thought-provoking, independent, nonprofit gallery. It has provided the community with fresh and exciting new art work and given artists unrestricted freedom to make challenging new shows. So far, 23 artists have had solo shows there. The gallery, run by Naomi Fisher and Jim Drain with Kathryn Marks, also has hosted curated shows such as "CoOperate", featuring 41 local artists, and "Mod 11" which consisted of work inspired by artist interactions with incarcerated teenage girls.
