Call to Artists - Milani Park

Palm Beach County’s Art in Public Places program seeks to commission an Artist or Artist team to design art imagery and coordinate with the project team for the imagery to be integrated into the Accoya wood boardwalk railing panels and seat tops at Milani Park. Art imagery will be inspired by the local coastal ecology, in addition to the historical and cultural heritage of the site.
