EXHtBIT A
A City of Miami Beach project in collaboration with the Miami Beach Visitor and Convention
Authority (MBVCA), No Vacancy is a juried art competition that supports and celebrates mainly
local artists, provokes critical discourse, and encourages the pubiic to experience Miami Beach's
famed hotels as temporary art destinations in their own right. No Vacancy 2025 marks the
program's sixth edition presenting 12 artists creating site-specific works at 12 iconic Miami Beach
hotels. The installations will be on view from November 13 through December 20, 2025.
Each selected artist or collective will receive a stipend of USD 10,000 to realize their project at
each hotel location. Artists were drawn from a call for submissions issued by the city and selected
by representatives from the City of Miami Beach Art in Pubiic Places Committee, Cultural Arts
Council (CAC) and MBVCA.
The selected artist or collective will be responsible for the following:
• Install a complete work of art matching the selected proposal at designated hotel property
by November 12, 2025.
• Notify CMB staff should any programming be established in conjunction with the No
Vacancy 2025 exhibition.
• Share any press releases in conjunction with the No Vacancy 2025 exhibition with CMB
staff for review and approval.
Amanda Linares' "Tierra Humeda" is an installation consisting of a site-specific composition of
clay tiles and graphite drawings an wooden panels. Native flora from Florida and the Caribbean
emerges softly through the graphite, emphasizing the ephemerality, hand-drawn presence that
recalis both memory and fragility. These botanical forms begin within geometric frameworks but
gradually expand, suggesting a quiet rupture from impased structures. This is an evolving, site-
responsive project. Scale, composition, and specific plant references may shift in dialogue with
the physical context of its installation site.
