RE: Art in Public Places Committee Appointment Application.
Dear Mayor Dermer and City Commissioners:
With this letter I am respectfully requesting appointment to the City of Miami Beach Art in
Public Places Committee. Enclosed please find my completed application form and
resume for your review.
As my enclosed resume indicates, I have a well-rounded background in the arts and I
have devoted many volunteer hours to increase the exposure of residents of our city to
quality artistic expressions. To highlight my achievements in the arts arena I offer you
the following:
I was recently inducted as an Honorary Trustee to the Museum of Contemporary
Art ("MOCA") for my many years of volunteer work, including my work as
Chairperson of their annual fundraiser for 2007, appointment to the Executive
Committee of the MOCA Shakers in 1999, Steering Committee Member for
several years, and my work as Chairperson of their annual fundraiser in 2000;
I am the Director of Art Fairs for Kevin Bruk Gallery, and as such I
manage and organize the application, administration, and logistical work
involved in the gallery's participation in Art Basel and Art Basel Miami Beach;
As a member of LegalArt I support the local arts community by offering pro
bono legal work to artists and non-profit arts organizations;
As a member of Art Center/South Florida I support the local arts community by
offering financial support to their annual fund raisers and membership drives;
I was the Director of Gateway Art Gallery in Palm Beach, Florida from 1980 -
1983;
I have lived in South Florida for thirty years, and I am a double graduate of
the University of Miami (B.A. '87, J.D. '93);
I studied Art History and Art Appreciation at the University of Nice, France
(1976-77).
I moved from Miami to Miami Beach this past year and I am very interested in serving
my local community through service on the City of Miami Beach Art in Public Places
Committee. I welcome the opportunity to discuss my credentials, background and
experience with you in more detail.
Very truly yours,od:" '
