From 6:00 p.m. on Saturday, November 7, 2009, until 7:00 a.m. the next morning, Miami Beach will stay up all night with more than 150 free arts and entertainment events presented at 80 different locations throughout the city. Over 100,000 people of all ages will enjoy free museum admissions, indoor and outdoor art installations and performances, architectural tours, dance (and dancing,) theater, music, slam poetry, film, video, fashion, acrobatics, comedy and more, including several unique collaborations and South Florida and world premieres. The City of Miami Beach collaborates with every cultural institution in the city, and with numerous other organizations, businesses and individuals to ensure that Audi Sleepless Night includes all aspects and points of view of what we collectively call “the arts.” Free shuttle buses with onboard arts programming connect the four zones of activity and remote parking for the full 13-hour night.


	A City Full of Culture For Sleepless Night, the entire city of Miami Beach transforms into a canvas, a stage, a performance hall. From North Beach around 71 Street down to Collins Park, Lincoln Road and Ocean Drive, every nook and cranny of the city has something happening during this cultural marathon. Thirteen hours, seven miles, hundreds of acts, performances, installations and participating businesses. If the thought of walking miles is too much, hop aboard one of the free shuttles and be privy to an impromptu cultural exchange while being transported to the next destination.

	A Great Investment If you were among the more than 100,000 people who experienced Sleepless Night 2007, then you understand why the prestigious John S. and James L. Knight Foundation recently selected it as one of only 31 projects funded in the highly competitive Knight Arts Challenge. Knight was looking for projects with “the transformative power to create community;” Sleepless Night 2009 was awarded a $150,000 matching grant to once again open the eyes of our residents and visitors with unexpected cultural experiences. Street spectacle, indoor and outdoor art installations and performances, music, dance (and dancing,) theater, film, comedy, acrobatics and more will be offered at more than 100 different locations spread throughout the City and the 13-hour night. The first Sleepless Night received more than 33 million media impressions in North America, Europe and Asia. With double the marketing budget for this year’s event, along with a substantial increase in donated media, Sleepless Night 2009 has the power to transform your sponsorship dollars into an amazingly high-yield investment, allowing you to show strength and commitment to the community while receiving the greatest possible return. Sleepless Night will continue to grow year-by-year in the manner of the South Beach Wine and Food Festival and Art Basel Miami Beach. There are, however, five important differences between those two events and Sleepless Night – five very compelling reasons for partnership and participation: 1.SLEEPLESS NIGHT is FREE. Audiences of every socioeconomic level are able to share the experience more than 130 free events covering the entire spectrum of arts and entertainment. 2. SLEEPLESS NIGHT is HUGE. Our inaugural event drew over 100,000 people, two-and-a-half times the number of attendees at Art Basel or Wine & Food, and we are expecting more than double that at SLEEPLESS NIGHT this year. 3. SLEEPLESS NIGHT is CITYWIDE. Our goal of bringing ALL the arts to ALL the people means intensive programming in all of the diverse neighborhoods of Miami Beach. Free shuttle buses (with onboard movies and performance artists) run from 5 p.m. to 7 a.m. 4. SLEEPLESS NIGHT is COLLABORATIVE. The City of Miami Beach partners with EVERY cultural institution in the City (each with its own extensive membership outreach and networking program), as well as with private businesses and individuals, to ensure maximum participation and exposure. 5.SLEEPLESS NIGHT appealS to the ENTIRE FAMILY. There are performances and exhibitions for every possible audience, from pre-schoolers to senior citizens.
