Bas Fisher Invitational
Naomi Fisher founded Bas Fisher Invitational (BFI) with artist Hernan Bas in 2004 as an artist-run alternative art space responding to artists’ need for a venue where artists could experiment, share ideas, and build community. She currently serves as Executive Director.
Bas Fisher Invitational (BFI) is BFI currently receives administrative support from Jessica Gonzales, financial manager; Anna Frost, curatorial and project consultant; Cynthia Cruz, operations; and Andrew McLees, technology and marketing consultant; and occasional additional consultants, art installers, and media support.BFI has operated exhibition spaces in the Design District (2004-2012), downtown Miami (2012-2016) and Miami Beach (2021-22), and is currently focused on presenting site-specific, logistically-complex programs throughout the county.
Since launching its nomadic presenting model, BFI has presented projects in Miami Design District, Downtown, Miami Beach, North Miami Beach, Pinecrest, Little Haiti, Goulds, Buena Vista, Coral Gables and The Everglades. Programs have been funded by the National Endowment for the Arts, John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, as well as state and local governments.
Since its founding in 2004, BFI has presented over 150 site-specific projects, including exhibitions, lectures, performances, and events that adapt to the shifting social, political, environmental and economic realities of South Florida. We have acted as an early launchpad for many renowned artists, including Coral Morphologic, Alejandro Cardenas, Ryan Trecartin, Jamilah Sabur, and Jillian Mayer, among others. In 2010 we launched our signature WEIRD MIAMI bus tours, which offer fresh perspectives on the artist-as-curator that are untethered from the logistical constraints of donated space. This program continues today and serves as a critical foil for skeptics of Miami’s potential, offering the general public a compelling and unfiltered look at the city through the eyes of artists who derive inspiration from its subtropical secrets.
