RE: Member Selection of the City's PAAC
You will recall in the Fall, 2017, the City issued a Call for Potential Members of the
Public Arts Advisory Committee. By the first week in January, we received twelve (12)
applications from talented individuals, eleven of whom were residents of the City and wishing to.
serve. On January 25, 2018, the City Manager, Assistant City Manager Susan Simpson and I
individually met with nine (9) of these applicants' and after reaching a consensus, we can
recommend the following five (5) qualified candidates as well as two (2) alternates, who may
vote when any one of the five is not present, and, provided they have seen all the presentations,
been privy to the debate, and are, therefore, prepared to vote.
The resumes of the recommended members are attached and follow in no particular
order:
• Dr. Carla Hozebin (Ar1/art history degree, supervision of art department at Cooper
City High School, involved with public space community projects)
• Ms. Diane Drabkin (20 year board member in charge of fundraising events&
programming for MOCA Chicago &planner of Art Vernissage [Chicago "Art Basel J
• Mr. Fabio Oliveira (Architect and designer in Skidmore, Owings &Merrill,
Washington DC for high end projects including projects involving urban planning)
1 Of the 12,one applicant was eliminated at the outset because he was a non-resident.The other was interviewed by phone
because of scheduling issues.

• Dr. Jesse Cukierkorn(Professionally trained artist who has exhibited in the Corcoran
Gallery and the National Gallery of Art in Washington DC. and a PhD. in Special
Education, she is the author of "Art Education for Gifted Learners"and currently works
for the Miami-Dade School system and is an adjunct professor for the University of
Southern Mississippi.)
• Mr. Javier Rabinovich (Developer in downtown, North Miami Beach and Aventura &
curator of all the art in his projects. He is working on hanging gardens presently.)
• Ms. Patricia Finchelman(Alternate) (Urban Planning, landscape &architecture in
Buenos Aires; artist with exhibited work)
• Ms. Margarita Maksimov(Alternate)(Professional artist&designer of CD covers,
been involved in other cities with Art in the Park BA, Design, Painting &Art History
from Moscow School of Textile &Design.)
As mentioned before, and, in accordance with our CMP, art in public spaces in this City
has more than an aesthetic purpose. We seek the development of community identity and
engagement- whether the art is provided by developers in accordance with the Art in Public
Places Ordinance, or,whether the art sited on public properties by the City or any governmental
agency. Therefore, it is this committee that will evaluate and debate each selection and make its
recommendation to the Commission. All art selections should meet whatever criteria is finally
recommended by the PAAC and approved by the Commission.
Just as a reminder, in the case of art in public spaces associated with private
development,please recall the recommendation of art will be treated as a condition subsequent to
any zoning approval.2 In these cases, the PAAC selection process may occur at any time of a
developer's choosing but prior to the issuance of the TCO.
The first item on the agenda for the PAAC, once constituted, will be to establish specific
criteria to be applied in the selection of art for recommendation to the Commission. The second
agenda item will be to discuss potential projects and public art placement locations in
furtherance of implementation of the CMP.
It is therefore recommended the aforementioned individuals be selected as committee
members for the Public Art Advisory Committee.
2 Just as a reminder and as an example,the approval of the project is not dependent on the art selection but once the project is
approved,the proposed piece of art itself provided by the developer will be reviewed by the PAAC applying our criteria and
making recommendations to the Commission.As an alternative,if any developer chooses to avoid this process,s/he has an
option to provide funds to the Public Art Trust rather than providing the art itself.

As a professional artist. I have been trained in all forms of production,presentation,and exhibition of fine

C.W. Woods Gallery at the University of Southern Mississippi.As an art educator. I have designed,juried.
and presented numerous shows of student art work including serving as a Juror for the nationally
recognized Scholastic Art and Writing Awards.
My academic writing and communication skills further qualify me to serve on this committee dealing with
art policy and public art. My hook. "Arts Education for Gifted Learners",edited by Frances Karnes and
Kristen Stephens was published by Prufrock Press in 2007. My work has also been published in The

Application for Public Art Advisory
I am applying for the position on the Public Arts Advisory Board because of my broadand
passionate interest in art and art education.
My extensive interest started in college where I studied education but my minor was art
education. I graduated from the University of Illinois, Champaign in 1968.1 subsequently
taught art in K-5 in the inner city schools of Chicago. I saw immediately how much joy and
excitement could come from our art field trips introducing to children textures, colors and
new ideas. So many children were visual learners and art opened new creative experiences.
I became very active in the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago for the next twenty
years. I served on the board in fund raising, programming and planning the•opening of our
major Art Fair Vernissage.. Art Vernissage is comparable to Art Basel in the Midwest. I was
chair for many years. This involved lots of planning and fund raising for the opening nite
event which benefits the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago.
I was also past president of the Woman's Board of the Museum Contemporary Art Chicago
2001-2003:
My love of art lead me to become part of the docent program where you learn extensively
about the art exhibition and teach through discussions to Museum visitors.
I always to this day visit galleries, exhibitions here and wherever we travel.
In 2001 we came to Sunny Isles and bought at Ocean Two. I am a full time resident and have
been Vice President of Ocean Two for the past three years.
I have attended meetings at our government center. Mayor Bud Scholl may remember me
as the ".sand lady".I was persistent in getting the issue noticed and pleased with our new
sand brought onto our beaches.
Since living here ,I have had time to pursue my oil painting classes with a local teacher the
last four years.
I believe art enhances a community and brings people together. It tells a lot about the
values of the. Community. Public Art can open the eyes of many residents ,engage their
curiosity ,and be a source of civic pride.
Public art allows families to experience art together without going to museums which
sometimes get costly and difficult for some families.Art is a common equalizer that can
bridge cultural and social differences. When you see a great piece of art everyone smiles
enjoying the experience .It is a pleasure that makes the day a little brighter.) would love to
be part of the process and participate as a member of the Art Advisory Board.

To Whom it May Concern:
As a current Sunny Isles Beach resident I am enthusiastically interested in becoming a
member of the Public Arts Advisory Committee (PAAC). One of the reasons I moved to Sunny
Isles Beach was the amount of care that the City Commission took in creating beautiful spaces
for its residents and allowing for resident input in these decisions. Art is a love of mine as it led
to a Bachelors degree with a major in Art History and.a minor in Art. I continue to create art
personally as well as professional oversee the Fine Arts department at Cooper City High
School, where I am an Assistant Principal. In this position I also oversee the activities, events
and clubs of the entire school. I collaborate with our art teachers, art club and community
members to beautify spaces on campus where students can find'solace-and peace through art.
Currently we are in the process of creating a labyrinth with adjacent painted walls. We
have two peace poles, a butterfly garden and a reading garden and will be creating a herb and
vegetable garden in the future. I am very passionate about providing spaces for students to
enjoy in°a meditative manner as well as collaborating with all stakeholders to make these ideas
become realities. In addition to the creating of the spaces, I am skilled at organizing the
dedication events of such spaces, in which the community comes together to appreciate the
creation and honor the artists involved. Off campus, the AP art teacher and her students have
an annual art show in Hollywood where students hang their art as well as hold a gala opening
. which showcases community involvement. I am grateful to be able to bring my experiences and
expertise to Sunny Isles Beach in order to exercise a continued collaboration between PAAC
and the City Commission.
•
One of the reasons I would like to be a member of PAAC is that I would like to give
young and local artists chances to display their work both temporarily and permanently
throughout the city. With a doctorate degree in Educational Leadership and as an assistant
professor at Florida.International University.I am a strongproponent for supporting upcoming.
leaders in the art as well as the education world. My expertise in creating art, my knowledge of
art history and my ability to build relationships with colleagues, parents, and community
members will be an invaluable asset to PAAC. I am very able and willing to serve as a member
of PAAC as I.am full of positive energy, ideasand operational skills required to make.art happen
in the city of Sunny Isles Beach.
Sincerely,
Dr. Carla Hozebin

Re: Public Arts Advisory Committee
Dear Mr. Betancur,
It has come to my attention that the City of Sunny Isles Beach is seeking candidates to
serve on its Public Arts Advisory Committee. I am interested in being part of that
committee and through this letter I hereby submit my application for your review and
consideration. Based on the qualifications published in the City's webpage, I am highly
qualified to serve on the committee.
•
I have been a resident of Sunny Isles Beach since 2000. I originally purchased a home in
Golden Gate Estates then moved to Ocean Two where I have resided since 2003. I am a
member of the Ocean Two Board of Directors as well as chairman of our condominium
association's CARE (Common Area Renovation and Enhancement) Committee. As
chairman of the CARE Committee, I am responsible for implementing, directing and
overseeing our building's current $3M common area improvements project.
I hold a Bachelor of Architecture degree from Louisiana State University and have over
30 years of professional experience in the fields of architecture and interior design. Prior
to settling in South Florida and establishing a design practice here, I was associated with
the Washington, DC office of the renowned architectural firm of Skidmore, Owings and
Merrill. Over the course of my professional career, I have had the opportunity to work on
a variety of large-scale, high-end projects from their initial design stage through
construction. In addition to designing buildings and interiors, I have participated in
projects involving historic preservation as well as urban planning projects. I have worked
alongside real estate developers, general contractors and other design professionals to
successfully coordinate and complete complex projects. This experience gives me the
background to assist the City Commission in recommending, initiating and implementing
its public art policies and projects and city beautification programs.

I am currently semi-retired and available to devote time to other pursuits. My desire is to
serve on the Sunny Isles Beach Public Arts Advisory Committee to ensure, as best I can,
that our city moves forward with commendable design enhancement projects that will
render our community a strong sense of identity and place. Should you wish to personally
discuss my application, I would welcome the opportunity to meet with you at your
convenience. I may be reached at 305.582.9922 or at fdeoliveira@live.com.

Dear Members of the Public Arts Advisory Committee
My name is Patricia Finchelman, and I am a proud resident of the city of Sunny Isles
Beach.
For some time now, I was thinking about the way to better serve my city, and when I
saw your request for this Committee, I understood that this is the exact place where I will
be able to do my best.
I am an Architect and Urban Planner, having studied for the degree at the University of
Architecture and Urban Planning in Cordoba, Argentina. I worked as such for many
years, and also specialized in landscape architecture,which was my pet interest.
All along, I also studied painting, and painted as a hobby. I presented my works in
many exhibitions in Buenos Aires as well as in Miami, and continued painting and then
also teaching the art, till my working ours as a property manager/realtor were too
demanding,so I had to leave this art.
Nowadays I work with flexiblehours,which give me the possibility of Organizing my own
timetable.
I am really willing to serve my community, and am convinced that this Committee is
where I will feel confident and capable.
Thank you so much.
