About Locust Art Builders (LAB): Now in its 13th year in 2023, LAB is a unique summer art intensive for high school students with an interest in art, design, and exploring creative careers. In spring 2024 an open call will invite up to 30 students from across Miami-Dade County to learn from professional artists in a dynamic program over five weeks next summer. Selected students will dive right into the creative, and practical, aspects of completing a collaborative full-scale exhibition at Locust Projects!
