ABOUT MIAMI-DADE COUNTY ART IN PUBLIC PLACES
Miami-Dade County Art in Public Places, a program of the Miami-Dade County Department of Cultural Affairs, is one of the first public art programs in the country. The program was established in 1973 with the passage of an ordinance allocating 1.5% of capital costs of new local government buildings for the purchase or commission of artworks, educational programs and collection maintenance. The Art Trust Fund is administered by a County Commission-appointed citizens board, the Art in Public Places Trust, in consultation with its Professional Advisory Committee.
