I have been living and working
in Miami and District Two for
over thirty years. I have been
fortunate enough to work in
collaboration with both the City
and County in realizing large
scale installations that have
been open to the public and
have reached thousands of
visitor. In turn these events
have demonstrated the cultural,
social and economic impact the
Arts community brings to our
community.
MIAMI MIDTOWN MIDWAY - ART BASEL 2001
Six years ago during Art
Basel we ( with the
assistance of the CRA)
created a replica of Le
Corbusier's "Villa Savoye"
underneath I-395 which
contrasted the goals of
modernism to the harsh
realty it created. The project
remained in place for Three
years and received an great
deal of local and Intern.
press. It was also the
ONLY event off -Beach
listed and promoted as an
official Art Basel event.

Being located in the HEART of the Arts and
Entertainment District for Seven years I have seen Wall
Signs appear randomly. I never moved forward with
placing one on my own property being I wanted to follow
the law, and wait for an ordinance that would allow me the
opportunity to make an honest dollar.
Limiting the number of Wall signs as opposed to
allowing more (40) will in my opinion reward a few
individuals that have had illegal sings up for years
and make a greater deal of money. I plead with you to
increase the number of signs and allow smaller
business owners (and possibly the only artist involved
in remaining competitive in this process. Ironically,
the funding from the Wall signs ordinance is meant to
benefit the Arts and Parks program in the city. I feel
confident that I have demonstrated my commitment
to this City and Community and look forward to
hearing your response and vote. Once again Thank
you for your time.
