Now on its fourth year, the Park Your Art competition showcases local artists through the sponsorship of the Miami Parking Authority (MPA).

This thematic competition gives eight artists, as well as two alternatives, the opportunity to paint their artwork on a unique medium: eight parking payment stations in Wynwood’s Business Improvement District (BID).

Perseverance is this year’s theme in order to empower the countless individuals affected by the recent natural disasters in the Florida Keys, Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands, Texas, Mexico, Barbuda and St. Martin. Park Your Art will give winners the opportunity to paint messages that uplift victims. The goal is to empower the community through nonpolitical messages. Additionally, Park Your Art allows winners to request for donations to be made directly to their chosen charity.

This contest gives a voice to those victims as well as winning artists (established or otherwise) through a wide range of media coverage.

DISCLAIMER: The MPA neither endorses a particular charity/organization nor does it collect cash donations.
