Calling all South Florida-based artists: submit your proposal for the 2025 Art on the Plaza series by 11:59 p.m. on November 17, 2023.
The Art on the Plaza program invites artists to activate MOCA’s Plaza with temporary public installations of site-specific art works, engaging and connecting the community with their unique and inspiring works of art.

Each selected artist will be supported by MOCA through the fabrication, installation, and programming for their project.

Across the plaza, artworks could incorporate the building’s façade, architecture, the central fountain and include free-standing elements or light-based projections. Alongside the installations, the museum will host relevant programming to coincide with each artist’s occupation of the space throughout the year.

Please note: Due to the installation of new palm trees on the plaza this year, Art On The Plaza cannot accept any proposals that require installations that are attached to or connected to the palms trees.

Interested artists can submit their qualifying materials electronically through the application portal. The deadline for submission of art project proposals is 11:59 p.m. on November 17, 2024. Submissions will be reviewed by a MOCA-appointed committee and selections will be announced on December 9, 2024.

This beautifully crafted gate, inspired by the traditions of the Caribbean diaspora, features an intricately carved face symbolizing renewal and connection to the natural world.

Decorated with motifs of Caribbean vegetation, Earth Gate serves as both a visual and spiritual portal. As you walk through, take a moment to reflect on the sacredness of place and our shared bond with the world around us. Experience the power of nature in this captivating public art piece.
