Sunny Spaces Art Contest

Sunny Spaces Art Contest. Shine your light and showcase your art.

Sunny Spaces Art Contest

As a part of the City’s 25th anniversary, we wanted 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 were asked to either paint or hand-draw an original 8” x 8” piece, incorporating the theme of a sun in their artwork. 25 pieces of art were selected via blind voting. These winning pieces are recreated as an art installation at Gateway Center, 151 Sunny Isles Blvd. Stop by Gateway Center and take a walk through the outdoor breezeway, now called the “Gateway Artway” to see the art installation. The top five winning pieces of art can also be found at various locations around Sunny Isles Beach. 

This art contest will take place each year with a new theme. Five winning artists will have their artwork added to the Gateway Artway, with an Awards Celebration recognizing their work to take place in April. 

We are excited to introduce our Sunny Spaces Art Contest winners and showcase their work!
