TIME TO MAKE NEW WAVES
2026 WaveMaker Grant Applications are NOW OPEN — apply by April 1
Locust Projects is thrilled to announce that the 2026 WaveMaker Grants are officially open for applications, supporting bold, experimental public art projects by Miami-Dade County artists.
Since 2015, WaveMaker has awarded nearly $690,000 to 139 artists and collectives, launching more than 200 projects that reimagine how, where, and for whom art happens — from mariachi film festivals and community archives, to telenovelas, artist-designed beehives, and beyond.
Want to learn more before applying? Join our virtual info session on Feb 20 at 12pm EST, hosted by Locust Projects Art & Digital Innovation Manager Andrew McLees. He’ll walk through the application, eligibility, and tips for submitting a strong proposal.
WaveMaker incubator grants at Locust Projects are made possible by The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts' Regional Regranting Program, a network of 36 regranting partners across the country.
