Organizations > International Cultural Exchange (ICE)



The International Cultural Exchange Grants Program offers grants to Miami-Dade County-based professional cultural organizations to support meaningful artistic exchange, partnerships or collaborations with artists, arts professionals and/or organizations abroad.  The program aims to accomplish the following two objectives:

1) to elevate Miami-Dade County’s image abroad; and
2) to support the efforts of Miami-Dade’s professional artists and cultural organizations to improve their work by engaging in meaningful arts and cultural activities with artists, arts professionals (such as curators, historians, designers) and/or arts organizations abroad.
