Miami-Dade Art in Public Places was recognized as commissioning some of the most innovative and exciting examples of public art in America. Developed by the Americans for the Arts' Public Art Network, the Public Art 2014 Year in Review presented the most exemplary public art projects completed between April 2013 and April 2014 in the United States. Adjudicated and curated by Cath Brunner, Director of Public Art, 4Culture-Cultural Development Authority of King County, Seattle, WA; Ralph Helmick, Artist, Newton, MA; and Janet Zweig, artist, Brooklyn, NY, two Miami-Dade projects were selected out of a field of over 340 entries, with only the top 37 projects in the nation being showcased. Miami-Dade projects selected for the Public Art 2014 Year in Review were Bhakti Baxter’s Coral Reef City, an installation of eighteen PortMiami parking toll booth wraps featuring macro photographs of corals produced in collaboration with Coral Morphologic, a Miami-based scientific art endeavor led by marine biologist Colin Foord and musician Jared McKay; and Jim Drain’s The Bollard Project, consisting of 1,000 artist-designed bollards of Port Miami thoughtfully arranged in color sequences and rigorous geometries that reference maritime flag signage.

The contents of this report do not necessarily reflect the official views or policy of the U.S. Department of Transportation. Aesthetic Guidance and Action Plan for Transportation Projects in Miami-Dade County Because infrastructure is more than utility, these projects must also be instrumental in creating a sense of place; they are the cultural systems that connect communities together. Creative problem solving through innovative collaborations can help create places of magic that nurture our culture, manifesting the image of the city. Projects must seek a design continuity that relates to and harmonizes with the built and natural landscape. Preservation of the environment, preservation of the heritage of Miami-Dade County and humanization of the transportation system should be seen as major goals of the design team. - Mission Statement of TARC Aesthetic Guidance and Action Plan for Transportation Projects in Miami-Dade County Page 5 of 113 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The development of the Aesthetic Guidance and Action Plan would not have been possible without the dedication and support of several individuals.
