Coconut Grovels Painted Architecture
Pilot Project
Early in November of 1977, the City was approached by Mr Sandy MacNaughton,
representing an organization called "Creative Currents," urging the City to
support a mural painting project on three buildings in Coconut Grove. The
City Commission approved an allocation of $ 1,500 for this project on Novem-
ber 24, 1977, by Resolution 77-880 (attached).
Since November, John Baratte, Director of the Miami Center/Lowe Art Museum,
and I have been working with Mr. MacNaughton, the artist (Jon Soeder), the
three building owners, the Coconut Grove Chamber of Commerce, and Mr. Ed
Cox to produce a worthwhile and tasteful project. Since the original con-
cept proved to be unacceptable to the Coconut Grove Chamber of Commerce,
our staff, and certain of the owners, all of the participants have worked
out an alternative design which has proven acceptable to all parties.
The final design involves a style of painting called "trompe 1'oeil,"
which literally means "fool the eye," but in this case highlights archi-
tectural features of the buildings, many of which aren't actually there
but will be made to appear to be there. We feel that this project will
greatly improve the appearance of these three buildings, which are the
focal point of the Coconut Grove Business District. The present appearance
is a schlocky display of home-made signs, peeling paint, and junky ad-
vertising, along with some serious attempts at imaginative and creative
design.
To get away from this uncoordinated and crowded proliferation of signs
and exterior decoration, this project establishes a model of taste and
appropriate design that fits the Grove and enhances its image. The in-
tent of this project, from the City's point of view, is to improve the
Grove by encouraging businesses and business organizations to follow
suit, using this pilot effort as an example of what can be done.
This project is somewhat larger in scope than the project described to
the City Commission in November. Besides the design, the principal
difference is that the City will have complete control over the execution
of the project. The project is described in detail in the attached agree-
ment. The City Commission will be requested to approve the agreement,
the receipt of $1,000 from each building owner/lessee, and the appropriation
of another $3,000 from the "Quality of Life" Account to cover expenditures
for city forces executing the project. The $1,500 already approved by the
Commission has been used to complete the first phase of the project, the
Dade Cycle Building.
