Arts in Public Places program overview: Art knows no language yet it speaks: Beauty. Therapy. Transformation! Just a few reasons the City of North Miami deems art essential to the health and vigor of its diverse communities. A long-standing proponent of the arts—whether as the film or recording capital of South Florida—or as home to the internationally-renowned Museum of Contemporary Art (MoCA), the City launched its Arts in Public Places program (APP) in 2010, coordinating closely with the County’s own ‘Art in Public Places’ initiative.
U-Wrap NoMi - North Miami CRA will vinyl wrap digital versions of artworks on traffic signal boxes located throughout the CRA. The main objective of the program is to allow artists an additional platform to creatively enhance our community along our corridors by transforming a traffic signal box into a piece of art. The City of North Miami consists of 4 districts, which will all be phased in with beautiful art reflecting our theme of “Resilience and Sustainability”. This is the second round to a project that started earlier this year. This beautification effort will enhance the experience of all those visiting the corridors and will help to prevent vandalizing of boxes. Site visits are encouraged but not required.
If selected by the Art Selection Committee, an official invite will be extended for an official proposal that meets the listed requirements. This deadline is April 7, 2023. Each selected artist will be paid $200 for their time to submit the proposal.
