Exhibit A
Description of Services
A City of Miami Beach project in collaboration with the Miami Beach Visitor and Convention
Authority (MBVCA), IVo Vacancy is a juried art competition that supports and celebrates mainly
local artists, provokes critical discourse, and encourages the public 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
hoteis. 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 a
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 Public Places(AiPP)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 proposai at the 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.
Denise Treizman's "Wish You Were Here" is a large-scale tapestry made from woven pool
noodles and sporadically placed ready-made objects. Hanging like a vertical postcard, the
tapestry features a sunset—a universal symbol af leisure—transformed into a vibrant,
immersive portrait of Miami's cultural identity. Using the saturated hues of a Miami sky, the
piece captures the city's iconic "fun in the sun" spirit while celebrating a deeper narrative: a
patchwork of cultures, identities, and stories. The work incorporates Treizman's signature
techniques of weaving, assemblage, and the repurposing of ready-made objects. Interwoven
throughout the pool noodles.
