Miami Partner Phillip Hudson III, board and executive committee member of HistoryMiami Museum, shared the news of HistoryMiami being awarded a $150,000 Knight Arts Challenge grant on December 1, 2014. The grant will contribute to the establishment of a Center for Photography, which will showcase several pieces of art meant to illuminate the Miami experience. It will also offer exhibitions and photography programs. The museum is one of only three organizations to receive the maximum award granted this year. HistoryMiami needs to raise $150,000 to match the grant, and they are asking both board members and donors with photography interest for contributions.
