Espanola 25-26.

by a 4-2 vote in its favor.
2.Following revisions to the City of Miami Beach Artist Vendor program, prospective
applicants must undergo review with the Art in Public Places Committee after presenting
their work to Tourism & Culture staff. This review is conducted to verify the artisanal nature
of the items they wish to sell. Current applicants shared a physical demonstration of the
production of their works and showed finished examples for consideration at a recorded
meeting. Cultural Affairs staff relayed this information along with images to the AiPP
Committee.
Motion: The Art in Public Places Committee motions to approve the following applicants
to the City of Miami Beach Artist Vendor program: Monique Sandoval (BLPL#2025-09621)
