Legacy Purchase Program
The City of Miami Beach Art in Public Places ("AiPP") program will acquire an artwork from Art Basel Miami Beach for accession into the City’s public art collection—and we need your help! The selected artwork(s) will join the City's permanent public art collection, and will be displayed within a dedicated, publicly accessible area of the Miami Beach Convention Center ("MBCC").
Art in Public Places is a City of Miami Beach program for curating and commissioning public art. The program was created in 1984, with its ordinance adopted in 1995. The program allocates funds totaling 2% of hard costs for City Projects and joint private/public projects. Funding for the Legacy Purchase Program is dedicated through the Art in Public Places program. Maintenance and conservation of the piece will fall under Art in Public Places Fund 147 and the City’s AiPP guidelines.
