Open Until Filled/ Target Summer 2014
The Opa-locka (FL) Community Development Corporation is engaged in
a transformative initiative to revitalize the neighborhoods and downtown of the
historic community in north Miami-Dade County. Over the last four years,
ambitious arts projects and programs have become critical elements in the
overall strategy. To lead its growing arts program, OLCDC seeks an energetic
leader who will be responsible for executing the Opa-locka public arts master
plan.
The Director of Public Art will report
directly to the Chief Executive Officer and manage a staff of two, in addition
to several consultants. With funding from the National Endowment for the Arts,
and several national and regional foundations, OLCDC has engaged several
regionally and nationally recognized artists to create site-specific
installations. The Director will have primary responsibility for managing the
installation of art projects. This involves interaction with artists, city and
county officials, landscape and engineering professionals, contractors and
other disciplines. The Director will work with artists and designers to refine
