City of Miami Beach

The City of Miami Beach established an Art in Public Places program in 1984, following the example of successful programs in cities such as Philadelphia and Seattle. By ordinance, 1.5 percent of the cost of city-owned construction projects is set aside for "works of art in public places other than museums which enrich and give diversion to the public environment." To carry out this mandate, six citizens of Miami Beach with special expertise and experience in the arts are appointed by the City commissioners to the Art in Public Places Committee.
