Ferguson Recreational Complex for recommendation to the City’s Mayor and Council. After payment to Miami‐Dade County Art in Public Places Division, along with $4,924 set aside for long‐term maintenance of the artwork, $159,215 remained from the original allocation.

On November 18, 2010, the five shortlisted artists were paid $750 each (for a total of $3750 spent from allocation) in honorariums to prepare and present design concept proposals to Trust and City staff. After much consideration, Xavier Cortada’s design concept proposal entitled “Splash” was chosen to be recommended to City Council for final approval to implement his work of art at the Betty T. Ferguson Recreational Complex. The proposals from the five shortlisted artists are available for review at the Assistant to the Mayor and Council’s office. If approved, Xavier Cortada will be compensated $152,000 to implement his artwork “Splash”, to serve as a functional, visual piece of art in the indoor pool area of the Betty T.
