Thank you, Miami. As of last week’s deadline, we received more than 1,000 applications to this year’s Knight Arts Challenge Miami - which shows just how much this city’s arts community has grown both in numbers and creativity. We started the Knight Arts Challenge as a way to inspire boldness, innovation and creativity. After five years, it’s clear: we live in a community full of talented and passionate people, and you can feel it everywhere. It takes a full range of engagement – from artist to audience, amateur to adventurer – to make art general in a community. Regardless of where you fall in that spectrum, you are integral to the experience of art. What we do as a community, we do together. For the first time this year, too, as a way to fully represent the diversity of our community, we began accepting applications in both Spanish and Kreyol. We got a great response, receiving several dozen applications in these languages (Gracias! Di ou mèsi!),http://knightfoundation.org/staff/tatiana-hernandez/
