FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - October 25, 2022 - Miami, FL. Fountainhead announces its 2023 artist residency selections, a roster of 30 exceptional contemporary artists from around the world and working across various media. Selected artists will live and work in Miami in the historic Morningside neighborhood for one month while connecting one-on-one with renowned curators, collectors, and arts professionals and the Miami public at-large. The immersive residency program is designed to offer artists time and space to create work, be inspired by Miami, and nurture relationships and connections that can help artists thrive in their careers; fulfilling the organization’s mission to elevate artists’ voices and transform society through their work.
