Project description as revised (if applicable) based upon the City Commission approved award:
Changes to projects awarded under the Artistic Disciplines program must still adhere to the requirement that the
work is new or has never before been presented in Miami Beach.
We would want to increase the space rental budge line to 3000 as we want to rent the hotels ourselves
instead of paying it to the artists and having them pay for the hotels. Otherwise there is no change in the
program only in the budget.
