Public Arts Program
ABOUT US
Art knows no language, yet it speaks: Beauty. Therapy. Transformation! Just a few reasons the North Miami CRA 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.
A program of the North Miami Community Redevelopment Agency (NMCRA), at heART, APP seeks to replace blight with bright, enriching the lives of North Miamians, ensuring vibrancy and access to art in Miami-Dade County’s sixth largest metropolis. By curating art installations throughout the City’s public spaces, APP infuses civic pride, beautification and a wider appreciate for the arts, while transforming the drab into stunning works of art.
GOALS
Celebrate North Miami’s rich diversity… Promote creativity that improve aesthetics… Preserve the City’s history as a proponent of the arts… Transform the North Miami landscape, a welcome to continued development…
