PAMM
Digital Art
Commissions

In April 2025, Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM) launched its first public open call for digital art commissions, offering support to experimental digital artists across South Florida, Latin America, the Caribbean, and the African Diaspora.

The inaugural application cycle received more than 750 submissions from 50 countries, out of which 21 artists were selected through a multi-stage review process led by an interdepartmental cohort of PAMM staff* and an external panel of judges, including Casey Baron, Christopher Cozier, Gabriela Munguía, Samantha Ozer, and Monica Uszerowicz. The initiative underscores PAMM’s ongoing commitment to supporting artists working in time-based media and fostering new models for access, distribution, and scholarship at the crossroads of the Americas.
