Tropotrope is an inclusive arts center that provides
flexible space rental + art classes
to promote creative action in Little Haiti, Miami.
WHAT'S WITH THE NAME?
Many organisms exhibit "tropisms" or patterns of growth towards sources of nourishment. "Phototropes" grow towards light, "hydrotropes" towards water. "TROPOTROPE" (Pronounced TROHP-oh-trohp) is a made-up word to describe organisms that may be growing towards growing itself.
The name is equal parts a celebration of nonsense and a serious call to action. Come one, come all, folks that are growing towards growing. At TROPOTROPE, art is a processing tool for learning. The center is continually transformed by the engagement of its participants.
Sara Haley is the founder, director, and lead teacher of TROPOTROPE. She is a Nationally-recognized, State-certified teacher with experience facilitating interdisciplinary creative arts courses for learners of diverse ages, backgrounds, and experience levels. Beyond the center, she serves local arts education advocacy groups including Exchange 4 Change, Fit 2 Lead, and O, Miami.
TROPOTROPE is located in a ~2500sf warehouse space in Little Haiti, Miami. The space is comprised of two classrooms, a kitchenette, a bathroom, a main room with 16' tall ceilings, and 3 private artist studios. Street-side parking is available along 57th st.
