Open Call: 2025 Contemporary Arts Program

Vizcaya Museum and Gardens’ Contemporary Arts Program (CAP) launches the 2027 Vizcaya Arts Residency + Commission, a seven‑month residency (May–November 2027) culminating in a site‑specific exhibition (November 2027–May 2028) at the historic estate in Miami, Florida. Selected visual artists receive a $12,500 artist fee, up to $25,000 in production funding, and exclusive use of a 375‑square‑foot studio (the historic Chicken House). The program includes two artist‑led public engagement projects during the exhibition period and open‑studio hours at Vizcaya’s Sunday Farmers Market. Applications are open to South‑Florida‑based visual artists of any career stage (emerging, mid‑career, established). The deadline is 11:59 p.m. on 16 November 2026 (some sources list 2 November 2026; the later date is used here). No housing is provided, and travel support is not mentioned. The call is free to apply.

Curatorial guidance and access to Vizcaya’s archives and premises for the duration of the project; photography and video documentation, interpretative signage and promotional materials.

South Florida-based artists who have not received a CAP commission in the past 5 years.
