Barcelona, Spain-based Estudio Barozzi Veiga has been selected to design a new headquarters for Oolite Arts, one of Miami's largest artist-supporting cultural groups. 

In a press release announcing the selection of Barozzi Veiga, Oolite Arts CEO Dennis Scholl said, "Miami’s visual arts community has grown exponentially over the past decade, and Oolite Arts has transformed its programming to help Miami-based artists grow. Our new home will enable us to better meet the needs of both visual artists and the community.”

According to the announcement, the new space will include studio spaces to support Oolite's artist residency programs, an exhibition hall, theater space, a "makerspace," and community classrooms.
