Art in Public Places

The Art in Public Places program has been making Miami Beach a more beautiful place to live for over two decades. Created in 1984, the city program has commissioned and installed nearly a dozen outdoor sculptures, monuments and other projects throughout the island. Projects include:

• Roy Lichtenstein’s Mermaid outside the Jackie Gleason Theatre
• Barbara Neija’s Red Sea Road outside City Hall
• Alberto Cimolai’s Art Bridge on Sunset Island II

Check out our video below and step inside the program with Max Sklar, director of tourism and cultural development, and participating artists Jim Morrison (the Julia Tuttle Causeway) and Connie Lloveras (North Shore Park & Youth Circle).
