En Residencia reimagines the Koubek Center as an art incubator, a setting for discovery, growth, and artistic adventure for creators, arts organizations, and the community. En Residencia is a membership-based program that offers local artists the opportunity to use our classroom and rehearsal studio for a pre-determined period of time throughout the entire year to create work in exchange for, on a case-to-case basis, participation in one of Koubek Center’s programs and/or activities.

The goal of the program is to nurture the cultural ecosystem of Miami by engaging local artists, regardless the discipline in which they might be working or the stage in which they are in their careers, while facilitating the dialogue between creators and the local community.

Membership to En Residencia is valid for one year and artists can access the spaces for blocks of 2 months per project, with a maximum of 2 projects per year. Flexibility in terms of length of individual residencies will be considered on a case-to-case basis.
