Art Tour: Osvaldo N. Soto Miami Dade Justice Center: Commissions and Acquisitions

Opened in 2025, the landmark Osvaldo N. Soto Miami-Dade Justice Center in downtown Miami provided a unique chance to commission and acquire large-scale, integrated, and location-specific artworks that celebrate artists from Miami and further afield. During Miami Art Week 2025 (including Art Basel and related events), we joined a guided tour of the new art commissions and acquisitions at the Osvaldo N. Soto Miami-Dade Justice Center. Following an introduction by Patricia Romeu (Chief of Art in Public Places), Amanda Sanfilippo Long (Curator and Artist Manager for Art in Public Places) led us through the building, showcasing 14 newly commissioned works by artists Edouard Duval-Carrié, Nancy Rubins, Phillip Smith, Karen Rifas, Morel Doucet, Tomm El-Saieh, Loriel Beltrán, Loni Johnson, Onajide Shabaka, Beverly Acha, Laura Tanner, Jennifer Basile, and Charley Harper.

Beyond these 14 commissions, the courthouse displays more than 90 individual pieces by 25 artists based in Miami-Dade County and South Florida through a dedicated acquisitions initiative. These works enliven public spaces such as elevator lobbies and hallways. Notable rotating displays include a major installation of photographs documenting Christo and Jeanne-Claude’s Surrounded Islands, on long-term loan from their foundation, as well as selections from the South Florida Cultural Consortium’s Acquisitions Program. The Miami-Dade County Art in Public Places program, managed by the Department of Cultural Affairs, enhances the community by commissioning artworks that enrich public spaces and foster artistic and civic pride throughout the county. By supporting collaborative and innovative projects, Art in Public Places elevates the aesthetic quality of civic environments, turning everyday public areas into inspiring places that uplift visitors and strengthen community connections. Launched in 1973, Miami-Dade Art in Public Places was among the nation’s earliest public art initiatives. It began with an ordinance requiring 1.5% of construction costs for new county buildings to fund artwork purchases or commissions. The program is staffed under the direction of the Miami-Dade County Mayor and governed by a citizen Trust appointed by the Board of County Commissioners. The Trust relies on guidance from the Professional Advisory Committee—a panel of independent experts in art, art history, public art, architecture, landscape architecture, and related fields—who are selected by the Trust itself. 00:00 - Intro 00:36 - Edouard Duval-Carrié: Ode to the Everglades, 2025 03:22 - Nancy Rubins: Collage #1, #2, #3, 2025 06:22 - Phillip Smith: Notes on Alchemy I-V, 2025 08:55 - Karen Rifas: Building Blocks of Colors, 2025 12:46 - Morel Doucet: Sunset Serenade: Notes on a Vanishing Landscape, 2025 16:06 - Tomm El-Saieh: Verses Versus, 2025 17:23 - Loriel Beltrán: Atmospheric floor, 2025 19:46 - Loriel Beltrán: Inscribed Atmosphere, 2025 26:19 - Loni Johnson: His Arrow Never Misses the Mark…, 2025 31:54 - Onajide Shabaka: Beyond the Personal Touch, 2025 36:50 - Beverly Acha: Nuevos Principios o In Praise of Change (To the People of Miami), 2025 41:48 - Laura Tanner: Homage to Cielito Lindo, 2025 48:07 - Jennifer Basile: Coastal Anchor, 2025 50:09 - Charley Harper: Anhinga Trail, Royal Palm Visitor Center at the Everglades National Park, The National Park Series, circa 1979 #miamiartweek #publicart #miamidadecounty Join our channel for early access and exclusive videos: https://www.youtube.com/vernissagetv/...
