Locust Projects invites local, national, and international visual artists to apply for a solo exhibition in the Project Room, a 625 sq ft space in Miami (USA) designed to support the creation and presentation of ambitious, new, installation-based work for presentation in 2026–2027.
Locust Projects presents visual artists working in any medium and any stage in their career as long as the work they propose for Locust Projects demonstrably pushes their practice in new directions as part of the mission to invite risk-taking and experimentation. Collectives and artist collaborations are encouraged to apply as long as the work is presented as a singular vision. Artists whose work engages with relevant contemporary issues—such as race, identity, gender equity, basic needs, climate change, or environmental advocacy—are encouraged to apply.
The project provides:
- 5,000 USD max Production Budget (may include but is not limited to: production/fabrication, equipment rental, materials, professional/technical support, installation/construction labour, assistants, shipping, de-installation)
- 3,100 USD Artist Fee (to be used at their discretion)
- Basic infrastructure provided by Locust Projects
- Accommodation, travel and per diem are provided to out of town artists (including 50 USD per diem stipend for out-of-town artists up to 21 days and stipend towards roundtrip, coach-class flights or car rental equivalent, and ground transport to and from airport with receipts available to artists that live 150 miles away from Miami)
