The growth of Locust Projects has included expanding its public programs, and 2013 kicks off with the continuation of the successful Locust Roundtables, taking place throughout February and March. Locust Roundtables take place on a weekly basis and are free and open to the public. The discussions on topics in contemporary art are proposed and moderated by members of Miami’s art community and beyond.
