Locust Projects opens a larger home in Little River

Locust Projects has opened its new Little River home with an installation by Rafael Domenech. The March 4 opening begins the organization’s twenty-fifth-anniversary year in a former industrial warehouse at 297 NE 67th Street.

The larger space gives the nonprofit more room for the experimental work that defines its purpose. High ceilings, an open plan and a courtyard create possibilities that cannot be separated from what artists are invited to attempt there.

Domenech’s project is intended to evolve through community activity rather than remain a fixed opening-night arrangement. That makes the new venue a working space as well as an exhibition address. Miami audiences now have another reason to visit Little River, with the institution’s move expanding both its physical capacity and its place on the city’s cultural map.
