MIAMI-DADE ART IN PUBLIC PLACES

MIAMI, FL

Miami-Dade Art in Public Places is an initiative that aims to integrate art into public spaces across Miami, Florida. The program was established in 1973 and has since installed over 700 artworks in public buildings, parks, and transportation facilities throughout the county. The artworks range from sculptures and murals to interactive installations and are created by both local and international artists.

The program is funded by a percentage of county construction costs and is managed by a board of appointed citizens. The board works with community members, architects, and artists to select and commission artworks that reflect the cultural diversity and history of Miami-Dade County. The program also offers educational programs and public events to engage the community in the appreciation and interpretation of public art.

Some notable artworks in the program include the "Miami Circle" by artist Ana Mendieta, a series of limestone carvings that depict the archeological remnants of a Native American tribe, and "Miami Line" by artist Sol LeWitt, a colorful geometric mural that spans the ceiling of the Miami International Airport.

Overall, Miami-Dade Art in Public Places enriches the visual landscape of the county and fosters a sense of community pride and engagement through public art.
