The arts and technology worlds are colliding in Miami. The Knight Foundation is investing millions into it. The Knight Foundation, a nonprofit that supports the arts in cities like Miami, kicked off Miami Art Week by announcing its fifth major wave of arts grants Monday evening, including $40.7 million in multiyear investments in local arts organizations and initiatives that use technology in their practice. The foundation also announced its 2022 Knight New Work winners, a group of Miami artists and arts groups that create new artworks with technology, and the 2022 Knights Arts Champions, which recognizes South Florida leaders who support the arts community. In total, Knight has committed $217 million to arts in Miami since 2005. The announcement was made at the Pérez Art Museum Miami, where more than 50 grants were awarded to established institutions as well as up-and-coming artists.
