The Village of Palmetto Bay currently is seeking new members to join its Art in Public Places Advisory Board. The Village Council will appoint members from those who apply and meet the qualifications required. There are three vacancies at present.
“Public art helps give our village its unique and lovely look, and our Art in Public Places Advisory Board is seeking new members to help us keep it that way,” village staff said in a public notice. “The purpose of the Village of Palmetto Bay Art in Public Places (AIPP) program is to promote the general welfare by encouraging pride in the community, increasing property values, enhancing the quality of life through artistic opportunities, uniting the community through shared cultural experiences, and creating a cultural legacy for future generations through the collection and exhibition of high-quality art pieces.”
The board, which is bound by the State of Florida Sunshine Laws and Public Records Law, meets at a minimum the second Thursday of every other month, 6 p.m., at Village Hall Municipal Center.
Residents interested in applying to serve on the AIPP Advisory Board must provide a resume, a list of qualifications including the submittal of an Advisory Board/Committee Application to the Office of the Village Clerk at clerk@palmettobay-fl.gov.

The board will review and propose artwork items to be acquired under the village’s Art in Public Places program. The board will issue a recommendation to the village council for all artwork program acquisitions, oversee the public education and curatorial aspects of the program, screen submissions and recommend to the village council for final authorization for each acquisition not more than three possible selections, which may be existing works of art or new commissions.
According to village staff, “Each board member must be knowledgeable in one of the identified fields of fine art, be employed by any art dealer, art gallery, artists’ representative, museum, or other entity which derives income from the sale or display of artwork, be a professional in the field of art, architecture art history, architectural history, urban planning, landscape architecture, interior design, graphic or product design, or possess a minimum of a bachelor’s degree in said field from an accredited university, or be involved in an art program within the community.”
The most recent acquisition, a sculpture by Mike Szabo, has been installed and is awaiting landscaping. A formal ribbon-cutting ceremony will take place later this month.
