"It's an artist's duty to reflect the times in which we live." -Nina Simone THE POWER OF PRIZM 45 ARTICLES CURATORIAL FOCUS Each Year, Prizm builds a curatorial focus around which our Fair is programmed. The selected artists' work navigates a constellation of shared historical and extant sociopolitical narratives including gender identity, "post -colonial" cultural hybridity, negotiating indigenous African with colonial spiritual practices, and the interrogation of colonial and post -colonial economic practices. 2024 at -a -Glance Q 800K+ PRESS VIEWS KEY PARTNERS Essence The Green Family Foundation Miami DDA Miami -Dade Department of Cultural Affairs Florida Division of Cultural Affairs 704M SOCIAL IMPRESSIONS PROGRAMMING Prizm Preview: Bespoke Dinner Experience with Guest Chef Prizm Parlour: Boutiques with Busayo NYC, Prizm Perform: performance piece Prizm Panels: 8 Talks, 100+ Attendees and more...

Last year's boutique featured a pop-up boutique from Busayo NYC and also included Prizm's bookstore with titles from Black authors. It was a space for our media guests to catch their breath from the bustle of the fair. This year, Prizm Parlour can be accessed online with a boutique featuring curated art, wares, books, and more from the Diaspora. This online store will support black artisans and their genius. PRIZM FELLOWS Prizm Fellows are hand -selected students and aspiring art administrators across disciplines, learning key pathways to a career in the arts during their fellowship with Prizm. Fellows assist with planning, development, execution, and content capture of the fair. We work with students who are passionate about their field and want to use their talents to further their impact in the arts and culture ecosystem. Last year we selected five fellows in non-profit development, visual arts, architecture, photography, and administration. PARTNERSHIP PROPOSAL Prizm, with growing attendance and an 11-year track record of excellence in the arts and culture sector, provides the Omni CRA an opportunity to market to a diverse demographic that is increasingly and keenly interested in the unique tourism and city-wide multicultural programming Omni CRA promotes with its Entertainment District Initiative. Our audience is globally engaged, and our 2024 fair will offer the Omni CRA greater opportunities to interface with the global arts community. Prizm has increased its engagement overseas this year, more than ever before, we will be exhibiting artists and galleries from the continent of Africa and the Caribbean. To that end, Prizm is requesting a $150,000 partnership with the Omni CRA to underwrite expenses associated with the execution of the annual fair which supports our high -profile exhibiting artists, performers, and keynote speakers. Our network of artists is integral to the ongoing cultivation of global dialogue around arts and culture in the African and African diaspora narrative. We believe a partnership with Omni CRA would be invaluable and assist in the following ways: ► Prizm 2024 will exhibit over 80 globally renowned artists from Africa and the African diaspora. ► These artists live/work in 10 different cities and 15 different countries including South Africa, Barbados, Angola, Zimbabwe, Jamaica, Ethiopia and of course, Miami. ► With in -kind support from the Omni CRA, Prizm is poised to host a virtual experience reflective of the diversity of Miami' cultural landscape. This would dramatically enhance the quality and diversity of the African diaspora artistic offerings of Prizm. ► This would simultaneously provide Omni CRA with incredible exposure as a premier driver of diversity in Miami. Prizm is excited to embark on this journey with you and thanks you for reviewing and considering our proposal to continue our enduring collaborative partnership and work collaboratively as a partner for Prizm's nth edition.
