Miami Open Call for Public Art Installations
City of Miami seeks artists for two permanent art installations celebrating city milestones. Commissions range from $15,000 to $400,000.
The City of Miami is recruiting artists to submit proposals for two permanent art installations in honor of upcoming city milestones. The first project is a 'Founders Monument' to celebrate the 130th anniversary of the city's incorporation and honor the role of Black settlers in Miami's founding and early development. This is a significant opportunity to create a landmark installation that celebrates an important but often overlooked chapter of Miami's history.
The second project involves creating art exhibits for the new Miami city administration building center at Freedom Park. This site is located where the Melreese Golf Course previously stood and will be home to Inter Miami CF's new stadium. This presents an opportunity to contribute to a major public space transformation and cultural landmark.
Artists interested in either or both projects can apply online through the City of Miami's Art in Public Places (AIPS) program. According to the city's job posting, budgets for the administration building artwork are flexible, with commissions potentially ranging between $15,000 and $400,000 depending on the scope and scale of the proposed project.
This is an excellent opportunity for Miami-based and regional artists to gain visibility, create impactful public art, and receive substantial compensation for their work. The projects represent the city's commitment to public art and cultural expression as part of its development initiatives.
