Our International Cultural Arts Exchange Series extends the “creative space” beyond Miami. DVCAI has been organizing and curating exchange projects since 1999, generally consisting of one-week to one-month exhibitions, residencies, studio visits, and a weekend program of seminars and workshops. Host countries have included St. Kitts, Dominican Republic, Aruba, Jamaica, Grenada, Barbados, Antigua and Suriname. Since its inception, Diaspora Vibe has taken over two hundred and seventy African American, Latino, and Caribbean artists abroad for residencies and exhibitions. This interaction nourishes our artists and contributes to the development of more mature and compelling work, here in our community.
