The Miami Herald today profiled several Knight Arts Challenge Miami winners – ahead of Monday’s deadline for the annual contest seeking the region’s best ideas for the arts.

Writer Howard Cohen visited the Everglades’ Artist in Residence program, which hosts artists who live and work onsite in a 1960s cottage at the Ernest Coe Visitor’s Center.
