A City of Miami Beach project in callaboration 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 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
hotels. The installations wiil be on view from November 13 through December 20, 2025.
Each selected artist or callective 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 Pubfic Places Committee, Cultural Arts
Gouncil (CAC) and MBVCA.
The selected artist or collective will be responsible for the following:
• Install a complete work of art matching the selected p�aposal at designated hotel property
by November 12, 2025.
• Notify CMB staff should any pragramming be established in conjunction with the No
Vacancy 2025 exhibitian.
• Share any press releases in conjunction with the No Vacancy 2025 exhibition with CMB

I.IZN'BqW's "Portal to Nina" transforms the iconic Betsy Egg into an entry point to a surreal,
femme-centered universe. Through absurdist imagery and surreal storytelling, the project invites
viewers to reimagine reality by stepping into a world where joy, inclusivity, and cultural critique
coexist. This installatian uses the Egg as a metaphoric and literal portal. The artists propose
showing a video piece that blends live-action and animated sequences to activate the site. The
video will laop continuously, featuring moments of levity and transformation that reframe famifiar
Miami reference paints in feminist and inclusive ways.
