Ke Intended Outcome Su orted:

Supporting Data (Surveys, Environmental Scan, etc.): According to the 2007 survey, having more

live, work, play and visit. Cultural tourism appears as a key driver for making Miami Beach a better place
to live and contributes to the overall quality of life.
Issue:
Should the City accept sponsorships for Sleepless Night?
Item Summary/Recommendation:
On Saturday, November 3, 2007, Miami Beach will host SLEEPLESS NIGHT, an all-night, free, citywide
celebration of the arts, presented by the City of Miami Beach Tourism and Cultural Development
Department and Cultural Arts Council. SLEEPLESS NIGHT is a collaboration of all of the city's major
cultural institutions, theaters, galleries and arts organizations, along with hotels, shops, clubs, restaurants,

Nuit Blanche's continuing success (more than amillion-and-a-half visitors each year) has spawned similar
events in Rome, Madrid, Brussels, Toronto and other cities. SLEEPLESS NIGHT is the first time a
citywide event of this type will occur in the United States.

ANALYSE
On Saturday, November 3, 2007, Miami Beach will host SLEEPLESS NIGHT, an all-night,
FREE, citywide celebration of the arts, presented by the City of Miami Beach Tourism and
Cultural Development (TCD) Department and Cultural Arts Council (CAC). TCD staff
identified SLEEPLESS NIGHT as a unique cultural event that fits perfectly with the City's
cultural identity. Staff has been working on this FREE cultural event for the past 12 months
and has built enough excitement around the event whereby the City hopes to build this into
an annual festival.
This event is being produced in-house by City staff as a result of the response from the
community in the 2005 and 2007 Community Satisfaction Surveys where residents identified
a desire for more cultural activities. SLEEPLESS NIGHT was also developed as a result of
the Cultural Arts Council's desire to create a signature, annual cultural event to celebrate
Miami Beach's commitment to the arts. With the opening of the Carnival Center, and the
discontinuation ofthe annual "Invitation to the Arts" season preview, the CAC felt it essential
to present a new event that would focus the cultural spotlight on Miami Beach.
The idea of asunset-to-sunrise showcase of the arts began with the first Nuit Blanche in
Paris in 2002. Nuit Blanche's continuing success (more than amillion-and-a-half visitors
each year) has spawned similar events in Rome, Madrid, Brussels, Toronto and other cities.
SLEEPLESS NIGHT is the first time a citywide event of this type will occur in the United
States. The night of November 3rd was chosen because it marks the end of Daylight
Savings Time, providing an extra hour of nighttime in the year's only 25-hour day, and fits
perfectly with the city's "Miami Beach 25/7" marketing campaign ("Miami Beach, so much to
do you need an extra hour.")
SLEEPLESS NIGHT is a collaboration of all of the city's major cultural institutions, theaters,
galleries and arts organizations, along with hotels, shops, clubs, restaurants, and individual
artists and presenters. It will include indoor and outdoor art exhibits, installations,
performances, fashion shows, tours, dance, theater, music, film and other cultural offerings,
all presented without admission charge. Free public transportation will connect the four
major zones of activity: North Beach, Collins Park, Lincoln Road andOcean Drive.
Event attendees will have access to more than 50 indoor and outdoor venues throughout the
City of Miami Beach within four major zones of activity: North Beach, Collins Park, Lincoln
Road and Ocean Drive. The sundown to sunrise event will begin at 6:00 p.m. and run until
6:00 a.m. (See Schedule of Events). The following is a sample list of event participants (a
complete list is provided in the attached schedule):

These sponsors are providing a total of $115,000 ($80,000 cash, $35,000 in-kind) in funding
