SaveArtSpace is proud to present The Extravagance of the Quotidian, a public art exhibition on bus shelter ad space in Miami, FL, opening July 31, 2026, curated by Hermes Berrío.
What is the most extraordinary thing we walk past every day?
Not everything meaningful arrives with spectacle. Sometimes it’s already there; hanging from a clothesline, sitting on a sidewalk, glowing under fluorescent light at the corner store, carrying the marks of labor, routine, and survival.
The Extravagance of the Quotidian is an invitation to look closer at the everyday and recognize its weight, its beauty, and its contradictions. This open call seeks artists whose work transforms the familiar into something undeniable; where ordinary objects, domestic rituals, street corners, gestures, and fragments of daily life become containers for memory, identity, struggle, humor, and grace.
What we call ordinary is often where life reveals itself most honestly. In public space, these works become interruptions; small monuments to the lives we are living, even when no one is looking.
All artists are invited of all ages and talents to submit their artwork between May 4 and June 15, 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 artists will be announced after June 29, 2026. Public art will be on view starting July 31, 2026 in Miami, FL, and will be on view for at least one month.
