As part of Palmetto Bay's Art in Public Places Program (aka AIPP), the Village Council recently approved the public artwork proposed for the Parkview Project and for the Franjo Road Traffic Circle. Both proposals were vetted by the AIPP Board and submitted to the Village Council for consideration and final approval.

The AIPP program aims to "promote the general welfare [of Village residents] by encouraging pride in the community, increasing property values, enhancing 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 that reflect diverse styles, chronicling history through the collection of artifacts, documents and memorability that will acknowledge the past and create programs and activities that will further these goals.

We are currently recruiting members to fill two vacancies on the Board. If you or anyone you know is interested in being part of this important advisory group, or to learn more about the AIPP program, please visit us online.

The Parkview project is located at 9500 SW 174th Street in Palmetto Bay. As a new development, the owner, Palmetto Venture Partners, LLC, is required to include a public art component in the project. The owner presented a proposal by artist, Seth Palmiter to the AIPP Board members who unanimously recommended the proposed artwork.

Mr. Palmiter is a Florida-born artist who believes that the proposed art will be a bridge to the community because of its accessibility to all. His art piece consists of a wall sculpture made up of 42 panels of a sculpture walk mural showcasing birds, leaves, fish, butterflies, flowers, and ellipses embedded in a 312' long and 6' high fence surrounding the perimeter of the development.

The property owner will soon remove the chain-link fence that divides Parkview from Palmetto Bay Park, which will be replaced with the sculpture walk mural. The AIPP associated cost of $38,350,683 exceeds the AIPP program requirement of $400,000 and, therefore meets the AIPP contribution.

The AIPP's recommendation was presented to the Village Council and approved via Resolution 2022-21. Below are the conceptual representations of the proposed artwork.

The artpiece, entitled "Bloom", was approved by the Council via Resolution 2022-24. The piece is intended to inspire residents and visitors of the community to communicate. The associated cost of the art piece is $125,000, which meets the budgeted amount of the Call to Artist.

This year, Summer Camp will make its return alongside, the Tennis Camp, and there are plenty of fun activities planned for our campers.

For the traditional summer camp program, campers will enjoy arts & crafts, outdoor sports activities, indoor games and movies, weekly field trips, swimming, RADKids, and so much more! As a specialty camp, the tennis camp program is a half-day camp that brings skill instruction and plenty of games and activities for beginners and intermediate players.

Online registration for both camps opens on May, 2, 2022.

Starting June 1, 2022, all volunteer boards, committees and task force groups of the Village will begin to meet in person. Meetings will be held at Village Hall located at 9705 E. Hibiscus Street, Palmetto Bay, FL 33157.

Palmetto Bay had previously adopted a virtual meeting platform following the issuance of Emergency Order 2020-11 resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. New measures were taken to ensure that Village would continue its course of business while protecting our volunteers and residents. The Emergency Order has been lifted, and members are now able to meet in person as previously done, effective June 1, 2022.

Information and details concerning the meetings will be forwarded to our email subscribers via email at the beginning of the month.
