Applications from architects, landscape architects or other design professionals will not be considered unless included as part of an artist -led team. Port Miami and Miami -Dade Department of Cultural Affairs through its Art in Public Places Program request qualifications from professional artists to create works of public art for Port Miami. The selected artist will develop a world class experience for cruise passengers traveling through the "Cruise Capital of the World." PROJECT DESCRIPTION PortMiami 1015 N America Way Miami, FL 33132 PortMiami, Port of the Future, is among America's busiest ports and recognized across the globe with the dual distinction of being the "Cruise Capital of the World" and "Cargo Gateway of the Americas." The Port contributes more than $18 billion annually to the South Florida economy and helps provide direct and indirect employment for more than 176,000. Last year, for the fourth year in a row, PortMiami welcomed more than 4 million cruise vacationers - no other port in the world matches this passenger traffic. Miami is home to the most distinguished cruise lines and offers a broad range of vacation options. Looking ahead to the 2013 and 2014 seasons, Miami will add 3 new cruise brands and 4 new cruise ships to its fleet. As part of its 2035 Master Plan and massive redevelopment program, new ultramodern cruise terminals, roadways, landscaping and parking garages have been constructed to greet visitors to PortMiami. Opportunities for Public Art In collaboration with PortMiami, Miami -Dade Art in Public Places has identified two opportunities for the integration of public art. The decision to implement opportunities will be based upon the artists' site specific project proposals and the recommendations of the Miami -Dade Art in Public Places Professional Advisory Committee. The estimated project budgets for these opportunities are intended to suggest preliminary financial parameters for conceptualizing project proposals and are intended to be inclusive of all costs to design, fabricate, install and implement art projects. Bollard Cover /Sleeve Design Estimated Project Budget $130,000 (This opportunity is open to professional artists residing in the United States) Art in Public Places seeks to commission an artist to design a series of bollard cover(s) that would enhance the entire Port landscape as a form of outdoor public sculpture. Approximately 1,000 bright yellow bollards are located throughout PortMiami. The bollards function as traffic calming devices and restrict vehicle traffic from pedestrian areas. The existing bollards range from approximately 4" to 7" in diameter and from approximately 36' to 60" in height. Images of the existing bollards can be downloaded as a. pdf document. The project team envisions that an artist will create a bollard cover /sleeve design that will embellish the existing architectural features of the campus and welcome cruise passengers. The design should reflect a strong aesthetic reflecting the bustling activities of PortMiami. Booth Wrapping Project Estimated Budget: $64,000 It is conceived that an artist will design an artistic wrap for approximately 18 parking fee collection and information booths that are located throughout PortMiami. The Port desires for the entire booth to be completely covered in an artists' design. The "wrap" process is achieved by printing high - quality, high - resolution, large vinyl sheets and applying them the same way a decal would be applied. Much like the bollard cover design, wraps should serve as a friendly welcome to passengers and reflect the PortMiami aesthetic. Specifications of the booths can be downloaded as a. pdf document.

Open to all professional artists with experience in creating integrated artistic environments. Proiect Description Palm Beach County's Art in Public Places Program is seeking artist(s) to create an integrated site specific artwork for the new Water Utilities Customer Service, Glades Office. Possible areas for art integration include windows, walls and ceilings (suspended works). Artwork will raise community awareness about the importance of water in our lives, water conservation practices and water's critical functions in the local and national environment. The new facility will provide Belle Glade, Pahokee and South Bay customers with improved and more efficient services. Staff at the new facility will set up accounts, arrange and make service calls, connect and terminate services, read the meters, send out bills, and collect payments. A conference room will support staff training and customer meetings. Environmental stewardship and sustainability are the major themes of all Water Utility Department operations. Palm Beach County's Water Utilities Department serves over 500,000 residents of unincorporated Palm Beach County and has a robust wastewater collection system and treatment facility. Belle Glade / "The Glades" Background Information The new facility will be located in the city of Belle Glade whose motto is "Her soil is her fortune," referring to the region's fertile soil, or "black gold" and "muck" as it's called by the locals. This area of Palm Beach County is one of America's major agriculture centers (sugar cane, sweet corn and beans among other products). Another important natural asset of this region is Lake Okeechobee, the second largest fresh water lake in the continental United States, which provides recreational opportunities to residents and tourists. The Glades is a nickname given to the western region of Palm Beach County. Everything west of "20 Mile Bend" road is considered to be in The Glades. The cities Belle Glade, South Bay, Pahokee along with unincorporated lands make up the western region of Palm Beach County. The Glades region is often referred to as the gateway to the Everglades which runs from Palm Beach County to Miami. The earliest records suggest that the Glades were originally inhabited by Calusa Indians. Today, the Glades population is diverse with strong cultural and local pride which is celebrated in several annual festivals. High school football games are also a major community activity. A defining time for many residents of The Glades is the hurricane of 1928, a storm more devastating than any other that left monumental destruction. The force of the wind pushed Lake Okeechobee to the northern portion of the Lake and when the winds changed, the Lake waters surged through the southern area, like tipping a saucer full of water. As many as 3,000 people Integrated Public Art —Water Utilities Customer Service, Glades Office 1 of 5 died in the hurricane. This prompted the national government to build a levee which would control future floods. A sculpture nearby the Lawrence E. Will Museum commemorates those who perished. The Lakeside Medical Center provides a regional healthcare delivery system for Palm Beach County communities bordering Lake Okeechobee. Palm Beach State College is also located in Belle Glade which is includes the Dolly Hand Cultural Arts Center; an important part of the community for almost 30 years.

The Miami -Dade County Parks, Recreation and Open Spaces Department (PROS) and Miami - Dade Department of Cultural Affairs through its Art in Public Places Program request qualifications from professional artists and /or artist teams to create the design for a promenade to be located around the perimeter of the park. PROJECT DESCRIPTION Haulover Beach Park and Marina Promenade Design 10800 Collins Avenue, Miami, FL Haulover Beach Park contains the largest remaining stretch of undeveloped beach front in Miami -Dade County. Situated just a few miles north of Miami Beach, between Bal Harbour and Sunny Isles Beach, this 1.4 mile beach park attracts visitors from around the world most notably for its pristine white sand shores, open ocean surf, beautiful coastal vegetation, and access to recreational activities. Haulover Beach Park opened the newly renovated Bill Bird Marina in 2010., featuring a full service marina, with gated entry to 149 wet slips, accommodating vessels from 35' and above. Each slip provides access to electricity and water. In addition the marina features a charter fishing fleet, dive boat, fuel dock, pump out station, bait & tackle stores, boat launching ramps, dry storage, boat and jet -ski rentals, and boat repairs. By the end of 2014, the marina will welcome a new Season's 52 Restaurant, which will offer diners exquisite views of Biscayne Bay from an outdoor patio that will lead directly to the promenade. Opportunities for Public Art Design for Promenade Estimated Project Budget: $165,000 In collaboration with Miami -Dade Parks, Recreation and Open Spaces and Season's 52 Restaurant, Miami -Dade Art in Public Places has identified the 1,500 linear foot of existing promenade for the integration of public art. The project team envisions that an artist or artist team will enhance the promenade with an inspiring concept that will enliven the marina area. This call also envisions the Artist selected to provide design elements for the future development of the promanage (approximately 18,220 If) as well as the traffic intersections and pathways. In keeping with the aesthetics of the existing site, the selected artist will need to consider the Haulover Park Design Guidelines, which were developed to define a common design language and signature image for Haulover Park. These guidelines are influenced from the 1930s Streamline Moderne style of Art Deco architecture, characterized by its inventive use of simple elements, rounded edges, smooth surfaces, wrap around windows and small round windows reminiscent of portholes on yachts and ocean liners. The decision to implement opportunities will be based upon the artists' site specific project proposals and the recommendations of the Miami -Dade Art in Public Places Professional Advisory Committee. The estimated project budget is intended to suggest preliminary financial parameters for conceptualizing project proposals and is intended to be inclusive of all costs to design, fabricate, install and implement art projects. In choosing exterior materials, it is imperative for the artist to consider the permanence of all artwork and other design elements and how they function in Miami - Dade's intense sunlight, heat, humidity, winds and rains.
