This initiative continues the longstanding tradition of the Miami-Dade County Art in Public Places program, one of the first public art programs in the country. Established in 1973, the program mandates that 1.5% of the capital costs of new county buildings be allocated to public art commissions, educational programming, and collection care. Overseen by the Art in Public Places Trust and its Professional Advisory Committee, the program has helped shape Miami-Dade’s visual and cultural landscape through hundreds of notable public artworks.
