artist access > award recipients (2017-1997)

To implement its mission to serve South Florida's diverse artists, Tigertail administered the Artist Access program for 20 years. This program was made possible with the assistance of the Miami-Dade County Department of Cultural Affairs, Cultural Affairs Council, Mayor and the Board of County Commissioners.

The Artist Access (AA) Grants Program was designed to assist practicing, professional and emerging artists residing in Miami-Dade County. The program provided support for artists to take advantage of specific and exceptional professional development, skill-building opportunities to advance their work and careers as working artists. Funds could be used for such endeavors as: attending advanced workshops, conferences, master classes, or seminars; participating in artist residencies; engaging in activities that are specifically capable of advancing or propelling a professional career; etc.

Artist Access started with four grant cycles per year from 1997 to 2005. In 2006 it changed to three cycles per year and the grant year changed from a calendar year to October – September. For the 2017 cycle the grant deadlines are November 4, 2016, February 3, 2017 and May 5, 2017.

Administered by:

• Kelly Allocco, Projects Administrator, Miami-Dade County Department of Cultural Affairs
