Conecta: Miami Arts assisted a vibrant local non-profit organization Upbeat Miami Inc by securing partnerships with various presenting venues for their namesake program, Upbeat Miami. For more than 20 years, Upbeat Miami has harnessed the power of music to make a difference in our community. The mission of this program is to create dynamic performance opportunities for young musicians by engaging non-traditional audiences in innovative spaces. The outcome is twofold: it offers young musicians performance opportunities that they do not readily have, as well as offering audiences who may not have access to enjoy live music regular performances. By creating greater access for all members of the community, we inspire enhanced cultural literacy and strengthened social bonds in South Florida.
