Inviting the Next Generation Into the Arts

For more than 35 years, Live Arts Miami has connected students with artists and creative experiences across Miami-Dade County. Each season, our Arts Education Initiatives reach more than 5,000 K-12 and college students - from all eight Miami Dade College campuses to classrooms and field trips for Miami-Dade public school students.

Through interactive performances, artist-led workshops, classroom engagements, and teacher training, students encounter local and international artists while moving, singing, playing, experimenting, asking questions, and experiencing the arts firsthand.

Your gift helps us bring more of these opportunities to students across Miami-Dade.

Across Eight Campuses and Beyond

From Homestead to Hialeah, Kendall to Doral, Little Havana to Downtown Miami, Live Arts Miami connects students with the arts across Miami-Dade County. 

Our Arts Education Initiatives serve both K-12 students and Miami Dade College students across all eight MDC campuses. Sometimes students take a field trip to experience a live performance. Sometimes the performance comes directly to their campus or classroom. Other times, they find themselves writing a song, moving with a dancer, playing rhythms with a percussionist, talking with an artist, or making something of their own. 

Your support helps us bring more of these experiences to students across Miami-Dade.

Bringing Artists Into the Classroom

What changes when students get to meet the artists behind the work? 

Live Arts Miami brings working artists into MDC classrooms, creating opportunities for students to hear about their creative practices, ask questions, exchange ideas, and encounter perspectives that extend beyond the classroom. 

Pictured here with MDC students is Rosie Herrera, our 2025–26 Artist-in-Residence - a Miami-based Cuban-American choreographer, dancer, and artistic director of Rosie Herrera Dance Theatre, and a 2024 Guggenheim Fellow. Rosie is one of the many local and visiting artists we connect with students through workshops, conversations, and other classroom engagements. 

Your support helps us create more opportunities for students to learn directly from the artists shaping the performing arts today.

A Little Circus Between Classes

This past April, Live Arts Miami brought Canadian circus troupe Cirque Kikasse to Miami Dade College, with performances at the Hialeah, Kendall, and Wolfson campuses. 

Students gathered outdoors for SANTÉ!, a playful mix of acrobatics, physical comedy, and high-energy circus - bringing live performance directly into the places where students spend their everyday lives. Experiences like these turn a walk across campus into an unexpected encounter with the arts. Your support helps us bring more artists and live performances directly to MDC students.

Students Become the Songwriters


What happens when students are invited to turn their ideas into a song? Through Live Arts Miami’s Arts for Change Songwriting Workshops, students work alongside professional songwriters to write collectively - sharing ideas, shaping lyrics, and building verses and a chorus together. 

No musical experience required, just something to say. 

Your support helps us bring more artist-led creative experiences like this to students across Miami-Dade.
