City of Miami Beach Unveils New Arts and Culture Website
— www.mbartsandculture.org —
Miami Beach, FL – Art Week may be over, but cultural connoisseurs can continue to get their
dose with the City of Miami Beach’s recently launched and more inviting arts and culture
website.
“We now have a site that is a direct reflection of the rapid growth of the cultural scene in our
City,” shared Mayor Dan Gelber. “From showcasing our partners to more detailed biographies
on the artists behind our public art, the website is one-stop shop for everything arts and culture
happening in Miami Beach.”
Allowing individuals to search by date, keyword or location, the new and improved website
presents a comprehensive events calendar showcasing cultural programming funded by the
Cultural Arts Council through its competitive grants program sponsored by the City. Art
aficionados can also immerse themselves in the City’s renowned Art in Public Places (“AiPP”)
collection when they visit the updated Public Art page that gives an extensive overview of the
current collection and the details behind works in progress. Additional aspects of the site include
information for artisans looking to apply for the artist vendor certification, along with grant and
facility waiver program information offered by the Cultural Affairs Program.
Finally, the updated site exhibits dedicated pages to the City’s renowned cultural facilities,
including the Colony Theatre, Byron Carlyle, North Beach Bandshell and Bass Museum – which
can all be easily accessed from the homepage. The new Cultural Anchors page serves as a
tribute to the 15http://www.miamibeachfl.gov/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/City-of-Miami-Beach-
