Program context & project planning
How the program works
Capital projects support a curatorial program
Miami Beach describes Art in Public Places as funded through a two-percent allocation of hard costs on city and joint public/private projects. A seven-member committee advises elected officials. The program includes permanent acquisitions and temporary installations; project-specific selection rules still require their own brief.
Which capital project, curator and approval body would govern the proposed artwork?
Bent Pool shows a mixed-material outdoor acquisition
The city collection records Elmgreen & Dragset’s Bent Pool, dated 2019, at Pride Park. Listed materials include steel, aluminum, concrete, lacquer and lights. It is a documented permanent-collection reference; its listing supplies no transferable price, availability or maintenance specification for a new commission.
How will finishes, structural materials and lighting be maintained together?
The submission portal currently has no open calls
Miami Beach’s official Submittable landing page states that there are presently no open submissions. Checked October 11, 2026, this limits the portal’s current application status, not the city’s broader commissioning activity. Future mural or sculpture deadlines should be verified when an issuer brief appears.
