Enter an outdoor sculpture competition in Biscayne Park
This week on South Florida’s visual arts scene, enter an outdoor sculpture competition, dine at a discount if you go to shows in Aventura, check out a special show at Miami’s Bakehouse Art Complex, and chill out with yoga, art and music.
▪ The Village of Biscayne Park is looking for artists to submit applications to the 2016 juried outdoor sculpture competition, “Art Is in Our Nature.” Up to three winners will be chosen to display their work in prominent Biscayne Park locations for one year. Because the village is an official bird sanctuary and home to butterflies, bees, squirrels and other wildlife, submissions to the city’s Public Art Advisory Board should reflect the environment. The application fee is $30, and the deadline is Feb. 15. For information, visit www.biscayneparkfl.gov/index.asp?SEC=10D213AB-0707-48D0-AB34-124FEE4EDA7D&DE=1A366270-3BB5-40EB-83D4-624E9F91E0E1&Type=B_PR. Email questions to publicart@biscayneparkfl.gov.
