A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY
OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, APPROVING THE SELECTION OF A
PUBLIC ART COMMISSION FOR THE NORTH SHORE PARK YOUTH
CENTER, AS RECOMMENDED BY THE ART IN PUBLIC PLACES
COMMITTEE; APPROVING THE EXECUTION OF AN AGREEMENT WITH
THE ARTIST; AND APPROPRIATING AND TRANSFERRING FUNDS IN
THE AMOUNT OF UP TO $76,000, AT THE TIME OF AWARDING THE
CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT, FROM THE PARKS BOND FUNDS AND
THE GENERAL OBLIGATION BOND PROGRAM FUNDS, TO THE ART IN
PUBLIC PLACES FUND NO. 147.
SUBJECT:
ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt the Resolution.
ANALYSIS:
The construction of a new youth center at North Shore Park requires a contribution of one
and a half percent (1 %%) of construction costs to the Art in Public Places fund. The Art in
Public Places Committee has identified the North Shore Park Youth Center as an
appropriate location for a public art commission. Accordingly, it is recommended that
funding in the amount of up to $76,000, be appropriated from the Parks Bond and General
Obligation Program Bond funds allocations to Art in Public Places Fund No. 147, for the
acquisition of a public art commission for this site.
In September of 2000, Bermello Ajamil & Partners, the North Shore Park Youth Center
project developer, made a presentation to the Art in Public Places Committee. The Art in
Public Places Committee approved the site for a public art project and a "Call to Artists"
was conducted. The Art in Public Places Committee invited representatives from the Parks
and Recreation Facilities Board, the North Beach Youth Center Oversight Committee, the
General Bond Obligations Oversight Committee, the North Beach Development
Corporation, the City Planning and Economic Development departments, and the Project
Architect, to assist in the selection of a design proposal.
I
I
AGENDA ITEM C 7 i)
DATE //~8'-t)/
Out of thirty-three submissions, five artists were selected based on their portfolios and
experience with community art projects. These five artists were invited to submit design
proposals for the common area and entryways of the North Shore Park Youth Center
construction project and each was paid a design fee of $1 000 from the Art in Public Places
Fund No. 147.
On December 19, 2000, a final selection committee meeting was held and the five artists
presented their public art proposals which included schematics and models. The design
proposal titled "Circle", by Connie L10veras (Exhibit "A") was selected. On January 24,
2001, the design proposal was approved by the North Shore Youth Center Oversight
Committee. On March 5th, 2001, the "Circle" design proposal was approved by the General
Obligation Bond Oversight Committee. On November 20, 2001, the design proposal was
approved by the Design Review Board.
The "Circle" design proposal will visually enhance the North Beach community and serve
as an important public art component at the North Shore Park Youth Center. The artist
proposes to conduct North Beach neighborhood community workshops to produce
handmade clay tiles in a sports motif of earth tones to create a ceramic mural on the
common area wall and adorn the walkways. The implementation of this design will serve
as an introduction to the idea of public art and create a sense of its relevance and
importance to the interaction that will take place between the work of art and its viewers.
The Administration recommends that the City Commission approve the "Circle" design
proposal (Exhibit "A"), as recommended by the Art in Public Places Committee, the
execution of an agreement with the artist Connie L1overas, and the appropriation and
transfer of funds in the amount of up to $76,000, from the Parks Bond fund and the
General Obligation Bond fund to the Art in Public Places Fund No. 147.

Feb. 02 2000 09:39AM P3
After reviewing the architectural plans for North Beach Park and Youth Center. I
was drawn to a large 31' foot by 28' wall. I am pmposing a handmade clay tilc mural as
well as 60 handmade tiles that will be placed throughout the walkways. The large clay
mural will be comprised of 868 sl~b rolled tiles each measuring approximalely 12" x 12".
The mural is divided into two main areas, The top pOltion measuring 5' x. 28' contains
seven etched tigures that recall action p(,l~es fn)m different sports such as tennis.
basketball. baseball, football, and soccer. They are gestural sketches that are carved out
to resemble action poses, They make reference to the games that bring people to the
North Beach Youth Center.
The bottom portion (,If the mural measuring 23' x 31' contains a monument.'ll circle
comprised of squares each containing an etched ball. These sections will be left in earth
tones of ochres and browns. I intend to hold workshops where I will transport the
handmade tiles to the destinated sites where thc events will be held. The wet clay will be
moved on solid wood doors. Participants will earve outlines of the different balls that
will be frequently used at the park as II source of recreation, This draws on the idea that
these games or sports arc a source for hringing together people in the surrounding
neighborhood. It is an area populatcd by many different nationalities. The actual evenu;
or workshops document a coming together of this diverse group, And by placing these
individually marked tiles next to each other to form this sphere or fill the interior of this
cirele we are making a statement of unity among the community.
The tiles placed throughout the walkway serve as an invitation to the actual mural.
They document the actions that look place before the final installation of the art work
The mural is celebratory and inclusive by its very nature.
The mural when seen at a distance contains a huge circle which conjures up
different associations. A circle brings to mind our world, elU1h, basketball, baseball, life,
unity, and a series of other connotations that eaeh individual has in relationship to the
shape. As the viewer steps up closer LO the mural, its monumental size will create a sense
of awe because of its overwhelming siw. Yet, on close examination the circle reveals
that it is made up of individual markings on each of the tiles that it contains. This
initiates a more intimate and personal dialogue between the artwork and the viewer.
Each tile regardless of whether they are depicting the same kind of ball will be unique
and different, in the same way that each person that created the marking is unique and
ditferent. This makes reference to the beauty in the diversity that makes up our world.
It is my int.ention that this mural stand as a shorthand evocation of human history
of sorts. Through the workshops and by exposing the people that will be participating on
the project to 111Y idea, I hope LO establish a sense of peace and unity among the
surrounding community. It will servc as an introduction to the idea of public art and
create a sense of its relevance and importance to the interaction that will take place
bet\veen the work of art and its viewers. By physically involving the participants in
the project, I hope to create a sense of pride and ownership of the mural that will become
a permanent part of their residential area.
