In thecourse of 30 days, O,Miami produces or co-produces around 40 events and 20 projects, each onedesigned to expand the audience for poetry in Miami. The events frequently mix poetry with other art formssuch as contemporary dance, music, visual art, and film. The majority of our events are free and all aredesigned to develop new audiences for poetry by creating chance encounters or intersecting with existingaudiences across Miami-Dade County.
We've hosted four United States Poets Laureate; two Pulitzer Prize-winners; several National Book Award-winners, Guggenheim Fellows, and MacArthur Geniuses; and one of Rolling Stone magazine's "100Greatest Guitarists of All Time.”
Previous poetry projects have included poems by mail in Braille; poems on murals and rooftops; poemsgold-leafed into urinals; poems on tags sewn into clothing at shops; poems on billboards, lampposts, andscratch-off tickets; poems on the radio, television, and horseback. There were nearly 8,000 attendees tothe 2018 festival and millions of impressions.
In the past, the festival has been featured on 3 national NPR shows (Morning Edition, Here and Now, andThe Takeaway); in traditional media giants like the New York Times, the Washington Post, the New Yorker,the Guardian (UK), the Associated Press, USA Today, and Travel + Leisure, and also in the new wave ofinfluential digital media outlets like VICE, The Creator’s Project, The Huffington Post, and Hyperallergic.
Objectives for the 2020 Festival
Increase audience by 10%.Increase impressions by 10%.Collect 500 surveys.Reach 75% of Miami-Dade County zip codes, specifically targeting underserved areas.
2. Jai-Alai BooksJai-Alai Books, our publishing imprint, is dedicated to creating a regional voice for Miami in the literaryworld. It was the winner of a 2014 and 2017 Knight Arts Challenge grant. Jai-Alai has released nine booksso far, including bilingual poetry collections by authors from Spain and the Dominican Republic, anAudobon-style guide to edible plants in Miami, and an anthology of emerging Miami poets that includedauthors born in Cuba, Haiti, and India. The imprint was the subject of a feature profile by the nation'sleading poetry advocacy organization, Poetry Foundation in Chicago. Upcoming projects include ananthology about transit in Miami-Dade and our first cookbook. For each of our titles, we produce a uniquerelease event that captures the spirit of the book.
Objectives for the 2019-20 Publishing SeasonProduce two (2) new literary titles.Execute coordinated, six-week marketing plans for each title published.Produce one unique release event for each title.Sell 40% of stock within the first 3 months.
3. The SunroomThe Sunroom provides creative writing and poetry workshops for third and fourth graders at Holmes,Orchard Villa, and Poinciana Park Elementary schools in Liberty City as well as at Emerson Elementary inthe Westchester neighborhood. The goal of the Sunroom is to encourage a love for writing and readingwhile also developing creative expression. The Sunroom was founded in 2014 on best-establishedpractices of similar poetry and writing programs from around the country. Our partnering public schools set
aside one hour a week for ten weeks for a professional poet to come in and teach. These ten-weekworkshops culminated with a community poetry reading and the publication of a limited edition chapbook.Poetry from the Sunroom’s participants were used in six 2017 Festival public art projects.
Objectives for the 2019-20 School TermConduct eight (8) ten-week workshops for 3rd and 4th grade students.Incorporate student poems in at least two outside projects.Conduct entry and exit surveys with each class. Have at least 50% of participating students express an improved opinion of themselves as writers.
Partnerships & Collaborations - (Maximum characters 2000.)Describe any partnerships and/or collaborations with organizations directly related to the Specific CulturalProject (SCP) or General Programing (GPS). Discuss the responsibilities and benefits of the relationship andwhether any formal agreements are in place.
Where most festivals thrive in one centralized venue, we reach out. We rely on no single venue. We travellight, and we partner widely, enlisting artists, organizations, and citizens as co-creators. The majority of ourevents are free and all are designed to develop new audiences for poetry by creating chance encountersor intersecting with existing audiences. Our closest partners are the John S. and James L. KnightFoundation, WLRN, The Betsy-South Hotel & the Writer's Room at The Betsy; Books & BooksIndependent Booksellers; and the Poetry Foundation (Chicago).
The following ongoing projects highlight our cultural diversity and collaboration within and beyond ourcommunity.
1) Every fall, we launch a request for projects that brings local artists, writers, and organizers into O, Miamias co-curators of our mission. We ask them to answer at least one of two questions in their submissions:"What's a novel way to deliver poems to people?" and "What's a population in Miami we haven't reached?"Successful projects address both. Previous project submissions include: poems in fortune cookies, poemsroller-pressed into beaches, and poems by prescription. By including the public as co-curators of thefestival, we engage them on a level deeper than just "an audience.”
2) Since 2015, we have partnered with Cave Canem Foundation, North America’s premier home for Blackpoetry, to publish the annual Toi Derricotte + Cornelius Eady Chapbook Prize named after Cave Canem’sfounders. Developed with The Writer’s Room at The Betsy-South Beach, the prize seeks to publish oneoutstanding chapbook manuscript per year by a black poet, regardless of the poet’s publication history orcareer status. The winning poet receives $500, publication by Jai-Alai Books, 10 copies of the chapbook, aone-week residency at The Writer’s Room at the luxury, four-star Betsy-South Beach boutique hotel, and afeature reading at the O, Miami Poetry Festival. We will release the fourth Chapbook in the spring of 2019and the fifth in 2020.
3) O, Miami educational component, the Sunroom, brings in-depth literary instruction to Holmes, OrchardVilla, Poinciana Park and Emerson Elementary schools. Student poetry has been featured in many O,Miami projects including Art Basel satellite compositions, rooftop murals, and enriching the mundane (on aLincoln Road marquee, on grocery store conveyor belts, on gas station pumps, in the Miami-Dade TransitTracker App, and wrapped onto a Metrobus).

Our focus at O, Miami is on making our home a more engaged and cultural place, which we believe has atremendous economic impact by attracting and retaining culturally engaged residents and tourists. We alsospend our money in South Florida, relying on almost exclusively on local vendors and contractors, and themajority of the artists and writers we feature are local.
The annual O, Miami Poetry Festival, which takes places during the entire month of April across most ofMiami-Dade County, currently receives approximately 7,000 attendees in addition to regional, national, andinternational fanfare. O, Miami partners with local businesses and non-profits to create site-specific eventsthat bring attention to Miami’s cultural landscape. The festival also buys hotel rooms, rents vehicles andequipment, purchases advertising space and insurance, employs independent contractors, and, mostimportantly, pays artists.
The festival has been a launching pad for the careers of artists like Agustina Woodgate and RandyBurman, both of whom came to notoriety through O, Miami-funded projects. Every year, 50% of thefestival’s programming is decided through an open call for event and project ideas. 95% of the fundedprojects are created by South Florida writers and artists.
O, Miami is also the principal provider in Miami for honorariums and opportunities for local poets. Localpoets run our blog, coordinate our volunteers, and teach our workshops. Through the Sunroom, we putpoets into schools and detention centers to teach workshops, and form student-to-writer mentorships. Wealso provide the only poetry-centric internship program in Miami. Since 2016, we have also provided asmall publishing internship.
Our small press, Jai-Alai Books, designs and publishes using Miami-owned and -operated businesses,including Original Impressions and Lucy Print. The press sells wholesale and consigns books with a widevariety of local independent stores, including Books & Books, Frangipani, Sprout, Sweat Records, PérezArt Museum of Miami, Flavorish, and many others. By creating books by and for Miami, we provide localsellers with a “local” product that appeals to their clientele.
True to its name, O, Miami helps create a positive image for Miami through our media coverage and digitalpresence. We spend thousands of dollars every year on publicity so that our projects get covered in placeslike The New York Times, The New Yorker, NPR, The Paris Review, and The Guardian (UK). We work withworld-renown artists to make professional-quality videos that can travel all over the world. Each time one isseen, “Miami” is a prominent and inescapable feature.
Marketing and Promotion - (Maximum characters 3500.) *Describe the marketing/promotion/publicity plans and audience development/expansion efforts as related to theproposal. For example, include information on advertising, social media, collaboration with local organizations,brochures, etc.
O, Miami helps create a positive image for Miami through our innovative media-based projects, nationalmedia coverage, and digital presence. Our marketing plan is five-fold: 1. Purchase advertising space on radio, on social media, and on outdoor media We spend around $5,000 on radio ads. This year, we’ll be spending $3,000 on outdoor advertising. Wepurchase around $1,000 worth of Facebook and Instagram boosts. 2. Create shareable content through innovative events and videos We work with world-renown artists to make professional-quality videos that can travel all over the world.Each time one is seen, “Miami” is a prominent and inescapable feature. A recent example is our 2016project, “Poems to the Sky,” which was featured in USA Today and in American Way Magazine. The short-form video of the project was viewed 52,000 times on Facebook in 41 different countries. 3. Employ a publicist to pitch the “stories” of that content Since 2011, we have worked with Palley Promotes, the same publicity firm that works with Miami BookFair. For the 2017 festival, we generated seventy unique stories including many available through Spanishlanguage media. In the past five years, O, Miami has been featured three times in The New York Times, onthree different National Public Radio shows (Morning Edition, Here & Now, and The Takeaway), onSiriusXM Radio, and in publications like The Washington Post, The New Yorker, The Paris Review, TheGuardian (UK), Huffington Post, TIME magazine’s blog, the Associated Press, and many others. 4. Partner with local media companies who have similar missions We have an on-going partnership with WLRN in which we co-produce an annual, South Florida-widepoetry contest. In 2018, the contest (which asked people to write a poem in the form of their zip code)generated 1,600 entries. In 2015, the contest was picked up nationally by other NPR shows such as TheTakeaway. 5. Create vigorous social media presences that tell the story of the organization in real-time We presently have 5,763 Twitter followers, 5,987 likes on Facebook, and 6,765 followers on Instagram anda dedicated social media manager who creates daily original content for all three platforms. 2017 featuredan integrated Social Media project entitled O, Snap to introduce O, Miami to Snapchat users. Local marketing for the the 2018 festival included the following highlights: - an Instagram campaign with The Miami Herald; - a series of poetry-inspired op-eds for The Miami Herald; - an O, Miami Scoop in the Herald’s Steph Sez society column; - a 15 live interview for 5 Mondays on the very popular talk show, "The Only in Miami" show hosted by Grant Stern, on 880am Bloomberg Biz; - two radio spots cut & produced by O, Miami that ran for an entire
month on Jolt radio and Shake 108 radio; - the inclusion of O, Miami into heavily and specific- audience/audience-building curated newsletters; and - the distribution of O, Miami messages, images, and collateral via partner social media accounts including Books & Books, City of Pinecrest, City of Coconut Grove, City of Miami Beach, Miami Herald, among others. O, Miami's publicist also secured the following media exclusives: - WLRN hosted a Facebook Live at the Library; - Edible South Florida hosted a Facebook Live with the chefs of our signature food and poetry night; - South Florida Gay News and Queer Guru previewed Club Jewel Box; - a Miami New Times-free lancer wrote about "Silence into Language" a #metoo poetry workshop; - Outloud, an online magazine for teens, covered Poetry in Pajamas a poetry reading/dance party for youth under 13; - WLRN prepared a video story at Versailles to capture the community engaging with "Cash Flow," an O, Miami project where poems were stamped onto dollar bills to be tracked as they made their way through our communities; - WLRN produced a behind-the-scenes radio report with the Syrian Supper Club chefs for our community dinner.

Fiscal Condition and Sustainability - (Maximum characters 1750.) *Describe the fiscal condition of the organization as it relates to the successful completion of the proposal. Alsodescribe plans to sustain the proposal activities after the grant period.
O, Miami is in excellent fiscal condition. Our principal grant funder, Knight Foundation, has committed over$1,000,000 to the organization since 2009. With this robust base of funding, O, Miami has aggressivelysought opportunities to diversify revenue, winning multiple grants from Miami-Dade County and the City ofMiami Beach, in addition to a three-year grant from the Schmidt Family Foundation.
One of our major assets is our in-kind donations. Our administrative, artistic, and programmatic personneldonate countless hours spent on projects, events, workshops, and fundraising annually. Additionally, allJai-Alai Books personnel hours are voluntary. The Betsy-South Beach Hotel has donated over $70,000worth of rooms, food, and services to O, Miami since 2009. Our continued partnership gives O, Miami thefreedom to bring down visiting writers and pay them honorariums.
Because of our commitment to accessibility, we rarely charge for our events and workshops, and when wedo, it is to off-set a percentage of costs; ticketed events can include catered meals, book release parties, orevents where the cost of consumables can and should be diverted to the consumer. Therefore, we collecta small portion of our total revenues from ticket sales.
In 2016, we hired an outside contractor to assist with grant writing and fundraising as we further diversifyour sources of revenue.
Evaluation Plan - (Maximum characters 1750.) *Briefly describe your methods and processes for gathering, analyzing, and reporting data to evaluate yourprogramming with the purpose of improving, deciding to continue, or stopping.
The staff compiles and analyzes the survey data, and then hands it over to the Board of Directors forreview. Based on the findings, the Board makes programming recommendations. Using previous surveys,we identified which zip codes in Miami-Dade County had the least representation. For 2019-2020, we willcontinue to divert some events away from the cultural hub to reach those populations. Based on other pastsurveys, O, Miami has increased our documentation budget; added more events that incorporate food andculinary culture; and added more workshop opportunities for local writers.

We also keep track of social media statistics and web traffic via Google Analytics and set benchmarks forthe upcoming year.
Because we use various traditional advertising platforms for content, we incorporate impression numbersas well (e.g., “number of times a day a billboard is seen”), but do not include them into audience figures.Finally, we keep close tabs on the media coverage generated by the festival, including size, diversity,location, and circulation of media outlets and use this information to judge the impact of each festival.
Using our data, we will continue to shift our focus in order to fill the gaps in our programming.
Notable statistics from the recent 2017 festival include:
79 of 80 Miami-Dade County Zip Codes reached;2,000,000 “Wheels and Words” poetry Metrobus views;1,422,196 “View-Through” outdoor advertisement views;100,000 poetry Easy Tickets sold;300,000 local radio listeners;250,000 viewers of the Colony Theater Marquee poetry; 108 poetry gas pumps with 200,000 views;54,000 “Checkout Poetry” customers;and30,000 “Pooetry" pet waste bags distributed.
With regard to press and exposure, O, Miami 2017 had significant national and international reach:
2,500 foreign visits to “View-Through” website from 47 countries; 40+ media stories;19,918 press views;16,000,000 readers of American Way Magazine;1,125,000 NPR’s Here and Now listeners; and89,000 Aesop Group newsletter subscribers.

H. Accessibility Page 8 of 10
Describe how the facilities and proposal activities are accessible to all audiencesand any plans that are in place to improve accessibility. - (Maximum characters2500.) *For example, explain use of accessibility symbols in marketing materials, accessibility of facilities andprogramming and/or target population. You can find resources on accessibility athttp://dos.myflorida.com/cultural/info-and-opportunities/resources-by-topic/accessibility/. We encourage allapplicants to include images in the support materials showing the use of accessibility symbols in marketingmaterials.
O, Miami does not have offices that are open to the public, or a dedicated performance venue. In order toproduce programming, we partner with organizations and individuals, and we partner strictly with venuesthat are fully-ADA accessible. Performance spaces have audio/visual accessibility equipment available,and several programatic activities in previous years have included poetry in Braille, American SignLanguage, and bedside poetry for the immobilized.
In Miami, poetry is shared in many languages: English, Spanish, Creole, Russian, and Chinese, to name afew. In April 2016, O, Miami partnered with Janet Evans & Arts4Learning (A4L) to share the beauty of oftenoverlooked American Sign Language (ASL) with the general public.We are willing and able to make anyaccommodations for any individual who faces a barrier to participation, and the FAQ on our website statesthis fact plainly.
Other previous projects that champion accessibility include:
Secret Sonnets, Created by O, Miami and Emily Nostro and Connor Grey
It is estimated there are 58,000 residents of Miami-Dade County who are visually impaired, but only afraction of those use braille. Braille readers are often marginalized due to the lack of accessible materialsavailable to them. "Secret Sonnets" brings attention to a beautiful and important code that allows thevisually impaired to read. The public was invited send a short poem and the Miami-Dade mailing addressof its intended recipient to Secret Sonnets and they will translate the poem into braille and send it to thataddress, along with an alphabet card that explained the project and how to read the poem.
Bedside Meter, by poet and attorney Quinn Smith
Bedside Meter delivered poems to people in hospitals, and accessed a demographic that otherwise couldnot engage much with the outside world. On Tuesdays throughout the month of April, volunteer poets tooktime to visit patients recovering in long-term care at Jackson Memorial Hospital. The poets sat with thepatients and asked them if there was a moment in their lives they would like memorialized in a poem. Poetand patient then collaborated to fashion the patient’s words into a poem, which was theirs to keep, andhave published if they so desired.
