Miami-Dade County Department of Cultural Affairs through its Art in Public Places Program (APP) and Miami-Dade Aviation Department (MDAD) request qualifications for artists to be considered to make full proposals for various locations at Miami International Airport as part of its major Capital Improvement Program (CIP). It is envisioned that a pool of 30-40 artists will be shortlisted to compete for specific public art opportunities over a period of at least two years.
The selected artist(s) will develop proposals for unique artworks that will contribute to the identity of these areas and engage employees, visitors and passers-by in unexpected and delightful ways. Each shortlisted artist will receive a proposal stipend (plus a travel allowance as needed) to engage in a proposal development phase in collaboration with and the support of the APP, MDAD, and the project’s selected architectural / engineering consulting team.
