Shine your light & showcase your artwork! 

As a part of the City’s 25th anniversary, we want to shed light on our talented local artists. Our Sunny Spaces Art Contest gives local artists the opportunity to have a lasting impact on our community. Artists will either paint or hand draw an original 8” x 8” piece, incorporating our theme of a sun in the artwork. Selected artwork will be recreated as an art installation at a location within the city. We are excited to see your submissions and to have our local artists’ work showcased for all of Sunny Isles Beach to enjoy!
