The Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM) has announced two major gifts totaling $7 million for its Caribbean Cultural Institute (CCI). The Mellon Foundation contributed an additional $2 million, while the Green Family Foundation (GFF) donated $5 million, leading to the institute's renaming as the Green Family Foundation Caribbean Cultural Institute. The funds will support operating expenses and the endowment of the CCI, which was originally established in 2019 with a $1 million Mellon grant. The Green Family Foundation, founded by Steven J. Green and Dorothea Green, has deep philanthropic roots in Miami, including ties to Florida International University and local art initiatives. Current CCI fellows include artist M. Florine Démosthène, writer Rianna Jade Parker, and anthropologist Celia Irina González.

Miami's Women Photographers International Archive finds a new home

The Women Photographers International Archive (WOPHA) has opened its first physical space at Green Space Miami on the city's Upper East Side. Founded in 2018 by curator Aldeide Delgado and artist Francisco Masó, WOPHA is dedicated to researching and promoting the contributions of women and non-binary photographers to modern and contemporary art. The Green Family Foundation Trust, which owns Green Space Miami, is lending the space to WOPHA until December 2026. The inaugural exhibition, "tide lines of the frame" (through December 14), features works by 2025 artists-in-residence Kat Thompson and Nathyfa Michel, curated by Cecilia González Godino of the Institute of Contemporary Art in Philadelphia.
