Edge Zones

Edge Zones is an artist and volunteer-run contemporary arts non-profit dedicated to the research, conceptualization and execution of events that strengthen the contemporary art environment in Miami. EZ seeks to making contemporary art accessible, engaging and to create a focal point for international research and awareness. Edge Zones is committed to assist local artists from diverse economic, social, and cultural backgrounds in their creative production and disseminating their professional development in national and international forums by establishing a strong regional exchange network connected to the rest of the world.

Activities include exhibitions, curatorial projects, theoretical events, web site, editorial project and publications exchange, free access library and documentation centre, and artist archive. Our core program is a combination of events encompassing the full spectrum of contemporary art media: photography, installation, painting, performance art, soundscape, sculpture, video and publications. EZ's monthly exhibition of new work in all media is a lab for emerging curators.

The art center is uniquely positioned in the Wynwood Arts District. The exhibition space is divided into 2 individual galleries. Our smaller gallery serves as gallery and labs especially useful for younger artists and students who want to create smaller, experimental projects.
