Description
With this grant, the Upper Eastside Garden will transform into a botanical park with sculptures and educational and ecological programming. The park will be designed by Edwina von Gal, who recently worked on the Parque Botánico in Panama with architect Frank Gehry. The organization will also continue to operate the City of Miami’s only miniature golf course in the sculpture garden, but with a twist. The sculpture that is part of the ninth hole will be redesigned monthly by kids. The garden will also launch a rotating two-wall mural, curated by Emmanuel Perrotin, a Miami and Paris gallerist.
Background
The Upper Eastside Garden strives to create affordable vehicles for artistic expression, increase people’s accessibility to the arts and sciences and promote new ways of thinking about art through interdisciplinary programming. The garden features outdoor sculpture on its nine-hole mini golf course, a rotating mural project, weekly film series and live musical performances.
