The Monroe County Art in Public Places Ordinance mandates that one percent (1%) of new County building construction costing a minimum of $500,000 and renovations
costing a minimum of $100,000 be set aside to fund this program. The AIPP Committee reviews and recommends projects to the Board of County Commissioners, and is responsible for the commission and purchase of art.
The application and information is available HERE and
on the homepage of the Arts Council website, keysarts.com under
"Quick Links."
Application requirements include an Artist Statement, current resume, 5 to 10 images of recent artwork, application and a cover page. Please see application for
further details on how to complete it.

Applications must be delivered by hand or mail directly to the County's Purchasing Department located in
the Gato Building, 1100 Simonton Street, 2nd floor, Key West.
