Recent moves3 records

Expansion highlights2 records

Direct peers

• Time Out Miami: Time Out Miami is a city-focused digital publication that aggregates events, reviews, and editorial coverage across arts, culture, dining, and entertainment. It directly competes with miamiartzine.com in the Miami local arts/events listings category, serving the same audience and overlapping sponsor base.
• Miami New Times: Miami New Times is a regional alternative news publication that covers arts, culture, music, theater, and film in the Miami metro. It is comparable because it produces editorial reviews, news, and event coverage of Miami's arts scene, targeting the same local cultural audience as MAZ.

Others

• WLRN: WLRN is South Florida's public radio station and an existing MAZ partner/sponsor. It is comparable as a regional nonprofit media organization covering arts and culture, though its primary distribution (broadcast/digital audio) differs from MAZ's web publication.
• Arsht Center: The Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts is Miami's largest performing arts venue and an existing MAZ sponsor. It is comparable as a Miami arts institution that drives event inventory into the MAZ platform, though its primary business is venue operation rather than media.
• Knight Foundation: Knight Foundation is a major Miami-based funder of arts, media, and journalism initiatives. It is comparable as a potential funding partner for Miami-focused nonprofit arts media organizations like Miami Beach Arts Trust, rather than as a direct competitor.
• Actors' Playhouse: Actors' Playhouse is a prominent Miami-based professional theater company and an existing MAZ sponsor. It is comparable as a Miami arts institution that contributes content (reviews, listings, photo galleries) to the MAZ ecosystem, but its core business is theatrical production rather than media.

Broad incumbents

• Eventbrite: Eventbrite is a scaled event discovery and ticketing platform that includes Miami arts events in its catalog. It is comparable as a free event submission/discovery channel, but operates at a global scale and offers integrated ticketing that MAZ does not provide.
• The Art Newspaper: The Art Newspaper is an established global arts journalism outlet covering exhibitions, theater, performance, and cultural policy. It is comparable in editorial format (arts news and reviews) but operates globally rather than locally and is subscription-funded rather than donation-supported.
• Artnet: Artnet is an established arts media and marketplace platform covering exhibitions, auctions, and gallery news. It is comparable in editorial coverage of the visual arts, but operates at global scale and offers additional marketplace and auction data services.

Emerging players

• Miami Dance Hub: Miami Dance Hub is a vertical community platform focused specifically on dance events and education in the Miami area and is featured as a MAZ sponsor. It is comparable as a community arts platform with a narrower vertical focus, addressing a subset of MAZ's broader coverage.
