What Preguntas Studio does

Oolite Arts is a Miami Beach-based private nonprofit visual arts organization, founded in 1985 as the South Florida Art Center and rebranded to its current identity in 2019. Described as Miami's largest artist support organization, it operates a multi-venue campus at 924 Lincoln Road spanning a headquarters/gallery, the Printshop, a Fabrication Lab, and multiple studio spaces, with a forthcoming expanded campus acquired in 2022 in the city of Miami. The organization's programming portfolio covers adult art classes (painting, drawing, printmaking, mixed media), the Digital Lab (3D printing, creative coding, and other digital fabrication workshops), residency tracks (Studio Arts, Cinematic, Home and Away, Teen), annual grants via The Ellies awards, curated exhibitions, and community outreach through the Oolite Arts On the Move initiative. A complementary Windows @ Walgreens program extends public art to Collins Avenue storefronts.
