Year: 2013

The newly designed website of Miami-Dade County Art in Public Places, www.miamidadepublicart.org, extends the accessibility of more than 650 works of art from the Miami-Dade County Public Art Collection. The site allows residents and visitors anytime-online access to images and documentation of the public art collection, the ability to create virtual tours and capabilities to search the collection by media, artist or location. In addition, the new website features expanded content, opportunities for artists, tools, resources and news items that will be constantly updated. This custom-designed platform not only allows for the collection to be viewed by worldwide visitors, but it also serves as the management system for the conservation and stewardship of the County’s award-winning public art collection, including inventory and records-keeping functions.
