O, Miami Greenhouse Closing Celebration

The O, Miami Greenhouse is a Green Family Foundation funded guided self-study program for South Florida creatives of all disciplines aged 18 – 25. The program is open to individuals regardless of intersectionality. Through one-on-one mentorship, professional development, and access to Miami artists and arts spaces, the Greenhouse program cultivates the skills and projects of budding Miami creatives across artistic disciplines as each develops a personal artistic project over the course of the program. The Greenhouse Closing Celebration gathers the larger Greenhouse community — mentors, alums, and the special guests of the cohort — to witness Greenhouse creatives’ presentation of the projects they’ve developed all summer.

O, Miami celebrates South Florida through the empathy-building power of poetry. We educate and engage communities by hosting programs and providing resources for people to identify and express themselves through poetry. We then publish that poetry in public spaces and in books. Our work invests in collaborative narratives of place, to create a more equitable future. Year-round we operate as a publisher and education organization, creating opportunities for people to come together through poetry and providing free resources for families and teachers. In April we celebrate the fruits of that work with our annual O, Miami Poetry Festival.
