Fringe Projects is an experimental public art commissioning agency that offers artists the opportunity to realize site-determined projects in the public realm at sites they choose for flexible durations. Investigating downtown Miami’s less conventional spaces with context-specific interventions, installations, and performances, Fringe Projects makes extreme efforts to privilege artists ideas and engage in a commissioning process that supports experimentation, field-work and in-depth research of sites and contexts.
Fringe Projects was inaugurated in 2012 as a component Downtown Art Days produced by the Miami Downtown Development Authority, and established a partnership with Miami Dade-County Art in Pubic Places, and with the support of the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation through the Knight Arts Challenge, The Wavemaker Grants Program in conjunction with the Andy Warhol Foundation, and others.
