To promote Miami's international art scene by bringing together 10 celebrated artists to create a first-of-its-kind, outdoor exhibit of giant, inflatable sculptures

Giants in the City will place ten large, inflatable sculptures in Bayfront Park. The sculptures will be created and designed by ten celebrated artists, including Jose Bedia, Michelle Weinberg, Gustavo Acosta and Alette Simmons-Jimenez. Expected to attract international spectators, local art enthusiasts and people who don’t typically visit art exhibits, the project strives to be an annual event that creates a visual experience while building a sense of community.
