Describe the qualities, experience, expertise and abilities that you possess that would make you an effective Art in Public Places board member that will act in the public interest. Firstly, I would like to emphasize that even though I do not currently reside in the City of Miami, I am a property owner and developer in Miami, my wife and I both work in Miami, our son goes to school in Miami and the entirety of my professional interests are in Miami. I proudly consider myself an adopted Miamian, one of the qualities l believe necessary for the position. As executive director of Downtown Little Haiti Stakeholders, the property and business owners association of NE 2nd Avenue from 54th Street to 65th Street, and board member of Little River Business District Association, the larger business association in the area, I am intimately familiar with local board settings and function. From many experience, I learned early on the value of consensus building,, teamwork and just plain hard work, essential for the AIPP board to succeed. I have had frequent interaction with City of Miami and Miami -Dade County commissions and departments; and understand their process and operation very well. I would argue that local government and community experience are other assets that would make me an effective AIPP board member. My financial background will be useful when studying economic impacts of public art, valuation concepts, AIPP fund management, budget planning and structure and financial reports. I can also explain and apply legal concepts of use to the board. 2. Describe your educational background and or general knowledge of the Arts. I am a specialized corporate tax attorney, financial and business consultant, and securities trader, with over 15 years experience in complex negotiations and structured deals. I received my JD. degree from Universidad Catolica in Caracas, Venezuela, and my Masters of Law and Economics from the University of Chicago, where I attended with a full scholarship. Law and social sciences like economics have always been at a vital intersection with humanities and the arts. As Yale Law School former dean said: "Fortunately, it is impossible fully to understand law without a deep and sympathetic knowledge of the liberal arts." Though my academic background is not in the art field and I doubt 1 will ever fully understand law. I have always been a very passionate follower of the arts_ 3. Describe any prior community or personal involvement that you may have had that demonstrates interest in the Visual Arts, Public Art or the Performing Arts. I am executive director of Miami Mountains Foundation, a Little Haiti nonprofit under the fiscal sponsorship of The Miami Foundation, promoting public art, culture and community outreach to transform developing neighborhoods in South Florida. Our foundation was awarded the 2015 Public Space Challenge for the project "Ayiti, land of high mountains - In memory of victims of the Haiti earthquake", a public art intervention on the important median intersection at NE 2nd Avenue and NE 62nd Street, In addition, we worked closely with the Little Haiti Cultural Complex to host the largest pop-up art show in Little Haiti during Art Basel 2015, masterfully curated by Edouard Duval -Carrie; and worked with the Bayfront Park Management Trust on a temporary large-scale sculpture installation during Art Basel 2016 in homage to American master sculptor and Bayfront Park designer Isamu Noguchi. 4. What is it about the Art in Public Places Board that is compatible with your experience and of specific interest to you, and why? For years now, even before learning of the existence of the Miami AIPP ordinance, I have been studying and getting involved with public art in our City, I understand that public art enhances the aesthetic diversity of the city, and that public art is the most democratic form of art, free and open to all audiences. However, I believe that In addition, public art keeps kids off the streets, reduces crime, engages audiences, improves communities and measurably increases property prices. These community aspects, even more so than aesthetic considerations, are of great interest to me. I trust that I have a lot to contribute to the discussion of public art in my Little Haiti neighborhood and generally the greater City of Miami neighborhood and it would be an honor to serve on such an important board. 5. If appointed, what specific goals would you like to see the Public Art Board achieve, and why? How would you suggest accomplishing this? This first AIPP board will have the honor and exceptional responsibility of starting -up the long overdue AIPP program for the City of Miami, designing the very foundations of public art in Miami and processes for future board members to follow. A successful launch is a worthy goal in and of itself. In the longer term, I believe the AIPP Program and Board will be especially impactful for developing communities like Little Haiti, Overtown, Liberty City, Allapattah, East Little Havana, among others; allowing there to showcase their incredible creativity and opening these areas to new visitors, tourists and business traffic, improving existing conditions. To achieve this goal, the board should seek to install a diversified public artscape that addresses site -specific concerns, encouraging requirements that compel artists to profoundly study the site and gain an intimate, embodied knowledge of its diverse social uses through close community interaction. - r _' L7 FRANCISCO J.

REQUIRED ATTACHMENTS Resume Proof of Education No more than two (2) letters of recommendation • Real Property Disclosure Form Planning/AIPP/ AIPP Board Application 2/02/17 Page 2 of 5 1. I have been a Performing Arts teacher for the past 28 years, leading programs in the areas of co art band, jazz band, chorus, orchestra, music theater, chamber music, dance and much more. I have . worked with community groups to produce events which enhance arts in the community.. c p c51 -0 2. Born and raised in Miami -Dade, and graduating from Miami Senior High School, I have a true '" appreciation for the arts in our wonderful community. After high school I attended the University of Florida in Gainesville where I received my Bachelor of Music Education degree. Once I finished my tenure at OF I began a 21-year career as a music educator in Naples, Florida. While in Naples I taught at Lely and Palmetto Ridge High Schools. During this time, I also received my Master Degree in Music Education from the University of Southern Mississippi. I also served as a district chair for the Florida Bandmasters Association, as well as the Middle School Representative for the Florida Music Educators Association. In 2011 I returned to Miami -Dade and served as the Director of Bands, Choruses and Orchestra at Highland Oaks Middle School until accepting my current position of District Supervisor for the Performing Arts in Miami Dade County Public Schools. 3. Obviously with my career choice I have constantly been involved in the arts and community. While in Naples I served on various event boards such as parades committee, Music in the Park, and many more. I have always believed that school arts should be more involved in the communities they serve. 4. The City of Miami is an international destination that serves a wide variety of cultures and experiences. With this in mind, the arts can serve as a bridge for our community to share, experience and strive towards making Miami the cultural capital of the world. My educational experiences have provided me the unique opportunity to work with parent groups, community groups and municipal entities. One of my personal goals is to see a growth of live music on the streets of Miami so everyone has an opportunity to experience the arts. 5. I would like to see the Public Art Board provide opportunities for all Miamians as well as visitors from across the world the opportunity to see and hear the great talent we have here in our great city. This program also has the potential to enrich cultural experiences with and for a variety of different cultures.

Neither.Of these members is required to have a Bachelors, Master, or Doctorate Degree. ❑ Interest in the Visual and Performing Arts SHORT STATEMENT OF QUALIFICATIONS (if you require additional space, attach additional pages.) 1. Describe the qualities, experience, expertise and abilities that you possess that would make you an effective Art in Public Places board member that will act in the public interest. For the past 17 years I have worked on exhibitions of contemporary art in my rote as museum director at the Rubell Family Collection/ Contemporary Arts Foundation and worked directly with hundreds of emerging and internationally recognized artists. In the last six years we have traveled our exhibitions to 16 museums around the country, most recently presenting an exhibition in Washington D.C. at the National Museum of Women in the Arts. In addition to creating exhibitions our foundation commissions new, site specific artwork from artists. Our museum has been open to the public For 25 years. Engaging the public in a meaningful and educational way is of the utmost importance for us. Planning/AIPPJ AIPP Board Application 2102/17 Page 1 of 5 2. Describe your educational background and or general knowledge of the Arts. I graduated from the Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art in New York City. While at the Cooper Union I studied studio arl. and art history and constantly visited and learned From the city's museums and galleries 3. Describe any prior community or personal involvement that you may have had that demonstrates interest in the Visual Arts, Public Art or the Performing Arts. For the past five years I have been a member of the Miami -Dade County Department of Cultural Affairs Professional Advisory Committee and for the past year I have been a member of the Corai Gables Arts Advisory Panel. I constantly visit artists' studios and meet with art students at New World School of the Arts, FIU, University of Miami, Miami Dade College and Broward College. 4. What is it about the Art in Public Places Board that is compatible with your experience and of specific interest to you, and why? In my role as museum director I commission artists to crease compelling, innovative, and large-scale artwork installations that are site specific. 5. If appointed, what specific goals would you like to see the Public Art Board achieve, and why? How would, you suggest accomplishing this? Unlike artwork inside of a museum's walls, a city's public art is experienced by millions of people and should elevate and'enncti residents and visitors engagement with the city. Public art is the most prominent display of a city's engagement with and commitment to contemporary culture. Too often public art fails to activate, communicate with, challenge and educate its massive audience. The artists selected, whether From Miami or abroad, young or old, known or unknown, should be of the highest caliber and most critically, the Public Art Board must make sure the artist selected understands the specific nature and needs of the Miami community, our cultural landscape, the site where the art will exist and the need to work within the projects budget. The Public Art Board must make certain that the artwork resonates resoundingly for generations to come.

Ewan Office of the City Clerk City of Miami 3500 Pan American Drive Miami, FL 33133 ff Re: City of Miami, Art in Public Places Board Nomination Dear Ms. Ewan: It is with great pleasure to write in support of Mr. Juan Roselione-Valadez as a member of the City of Miami's new Art in Public Places Board. Mr. Roselione-Valadez joined the City of Coral Gables' Arts Advisory Panel in March, 2016. He was sought out as the highly regarded director of one the Country's leading privately owned art collections, the RubeIl Family Collection, and for having the experience of contributing to similar public art panels such as the Miami -Dade County Art in Public Places Professional Advisory Committee. Since joining the Coral Gables Arts Advisory Panel, Mr. Roselione-Valadez's professional background has been invaluable. He provides well-educated, informed, and insightful feedback that positively contributes to the sometimes complex review of public art proposals. At the Rubell, Mr. Roselione-Valadez leads a collection that is at the forefront of contemporary art and has a long-standing reputation for prolific curation and selection of artists and artworks. This type of experience, cultivated over many years of hands-on involvement, is something difficult to come by in any city. Essentially, I have found Mr. Roselione-Valadez's perspective to be incisive, while understanding the intricacies of our diverse community. He would do the same -for the City of Miami and have the City's best interest at heart in the development of its public art collection. As a resident, I'm thrilled that future public artworks may have his input. Mr. Roselione-Valadez has my highest recommendation to serve on this Board and I look forward to hearing of the first artworks commissioned by the City of Miami. Sincerely, Catherine J.
