SaveArtSpace is proud to present Dignity Not For Sale, a public art exhibition on bus shelter ad space in Miami, FL, opening September 18, 2026, curated by Lizzie Suarez.
As the ultra-wealthy make Miami the playground for their riches, working people who make our city run and breathe life into our communities in every zip code are being squeezed for every penny we’ve got. For every crane they send up in the sky, there are hundreds if not thousands of everyday people fighting to make a dignified life and future here for them and their loved ones. As real estate drives collective amnesia, this is an invitation to remember what makes Miami special.
This is a call for local artists to celebrate those who remind us that our Miami is worth fighting for, and our dignity is not for sale. Welcoming submissions of all mediums that address themes of belonging, dignity, and resilience of Miami’s working-class.
We invite artists of all ages and talents to submit their artwork between June 23 and August 3, 2026 in order to be considered for the exhibition. This is an opportunity to have your work placed on bus shelter ad space in Miami, FL.
The application fee is $35 for 1-3 images; each additional image carries a $10 fee. Fees support the production of the exhibition, including the purchase of bus shelter ad space. All fees paid to SaveArtSpace are 100% tax deductible donations.
Selected artist will be announced after August 17, 2026. Public art will be on view starting September 18, 2026 in Miami, FL, and will be on view for at least one month.
