Students from the Overtown Afterschool program at Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM) will create “pop-up” public art installations inspired by the new Omni Park and the works of Michael Loveland and Adler Guerrier. Students will utilize a non-traditional, but very familiar material – plastic yard signage. Typically utilized for political campaigns and advertisements, these young artists will create visual messages inspired by public art and spaces.
Omni Park is a 7-acre public, green space that is equipped with a skate fixture, community event space, mobile library, and public art installation highlighting the community members and culture of South Florida. It is also host to live performances, the Boho Market, and other programs. With the help of the CRA, the once blighted & unused land is now a green accessible playground. The Omni CRA is committed to the preservation and enhancement of property values, stimulating the creation of new job opportunities for residents, and improving the quality of life of those who reside within the redevelopment neighborhoods.
