OPPORTUNITY DESCRIPTION: 

Please carefully review the Call to Artists for this opportunity at the Miami-Dade County Art in Public Places Website. 

ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA: 

Third Parties Applying on Behalf of Individual Artists ​​

Third parties such as gallerists, curators, collectors, or otherwise designees submitting on behalf of an artist or established collaborative must clearly identify the artist or collaborative regarding work samples. APP requires that submissions on behalf of multiple artists be done as a single entry per artist. Refer to the following example: Gallery XX or Artists Designee XX represents (4) different individual artists, therefore Gallery XX/Artists Designee XX will submit (4) separate applications, one for each individual artist with its own CV, Artist’s Statement, and 10 individual images to be credited that single artist. ​

Professional Visual Artist ​

A person who has created a recognized body of original works of art within an artistic discipline over a sustained period of time, and who is striving to achieve the highest level of professional recognition.​

Artist led-teams / Collaboratives​

Established artist led-teams and / or artist collaboratives may apply only with completed work samples and credentials attributed to the collaborative work. Submitted work samples cannot be attributed to the practice of a single member in the collaborative, but must be attributed to the Collaborative as a “whole.” ​

Fabricators ​

Fabricators producing work through contracts with artists are not eligible to apply on behalf of those artists without consent, nor can fabricators claim completed works as their own artwork. ​

Geographical Location: ​

Eligible artists must be readily available for in-person participation and within short driving distance from and to Miami-Dade County as required by the project. ​

New Artists to the Program​

To expand the range for artistic creativity and expression in Miami-Dade County, the program seeks to support a wide range of professional artists with differing practices as guided by the expertise of the Professional Advisory Committee. Artists new to the program are strongly encouraged to participate. ​

Public Art Masterplan​

For the purposes of the Master Plan, “art in public places” means “works of art of exceptional quality executed on an appropriate scale and for general public access in public places other than museums, which enrich and give dimension to the public environment”.​
