Miami-Dade County Art in Public Places will commission up to ten (10) artists to create a series of temporary public art interventions that will examine sea level rise and its potential impact on Miami-Dade County, concentrating on creative representations based on science and community perspectives. Selected artists will receive introductory issue orientations working with key faculty* and students at the University of Miami involved in research and curriculum on sea level rise and subsequently, participate in presentations of their projects with these university participants.   The selected artists will collaborate with Rich Beckman, Professor, University of Miami and Coral Morphologic (biologist Colin Foord and musician Jared McKay), to conceptualize the projects. The project will be curated by Brandi Reddick, Miami-Dade County Art in Public Places.   Estimated Public Art Budget: $50,000. This project is funded by a grant from the Knight Foundation.
