Miami Open Call for Artists - Public Art Installations
City of Miami seeks artists for two permanent installations: a Founders Monument and artwork for the new administration building at Freedom Park.
The City of Miami is actively recruiting artists to submit proposals for two significant public art projects celebrating important city milestones. The first project is a 'Founders Monument' designed to honor the city's 130th anniversary of incorporation while specifically recognizing and celebrating the crucial role that Black settlers played in Miami's founding and early development. This project represents an opportunity for artists to create meaningful work that acknowledges historically underrepresented contributions to the city's heritage.
The second project involves creating art exhibits and installations for the new Miami city administration building center located at Freedom Park. This site is particularly significant as it sits on the grounds of the former Melreese Golf Course, now being developed for Inter Miami CF's new stadium. This project offers artists the chance to contribute to a major civic and cultural hub that will serve as a gathering space for the community.
Budget allocations vary by project, with commissions for the administration building artwork ranging from $15,000 to $400,000, providing opportunities for artists at different career levels and with varying project scopes. The City of Miami is committed to supporting artists in creating public work that enriches the community and reflects the city's diverse history and culture.
Applications must be submitted online through the City of Miami's Art in Public Places (AIPS) program. This official city program serves as the platform for all submissions and manages the selection process for public art projects throughout Miami.
