ADMSP Q & A

Altos del Mar Sculpture Parkwhere art meets nature... in service to the community! Q&A www.admsp.org

1. Who is paying for the improvements to the park? The improvements will be entirely paid by Altos Del Mar Sculpture Park, Inc., a Florida not-for-profit 501 (c)(3) Public Charity and its donors.

2. Who is financing this? All financing comes from individual and institutional donors. All costs thus far have been financed mainly by local individual residents, neighbors and directors of the park. The funding for the construction of approximately $ 4 million will mainly derive from institutional and corporate donors with whom ADMSP is in ongoing, advanced negotiations represented by an experienced investment banker.

3. Where are the sculpture coming from? All sculptures will be obtained as loans for a specific time from museums, large private collections and individual owners. All contacts to the art lenders are being handled by leading art experts and art dealers available to ADMSP on its own board of directors such as Robert Miller, Dr. David Schaff and Gerrit Schulz-Bennewitz.

4. When will the park open? ADMSP is aiming to open the park in the first quarter of 2013. However, the opening date is dependent on getting the financing and all permits within the a required time frame. ADMSP would need to start construction at least eight months prior to the opening.

5. Who is going to maintain the park? The park will be maintained by the staff of ADMSP and an independent contractor landscaping, maintenance, and service company.

8. What happens if someone finds a sculpture offensive?

ADMSP will only exhibit established artists from the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries.

9. Are sculptures going to be sold at the park? Exhibited sculptures will not be sold at ADMSP.

10. Who collects the money if a sculpture is sold? ADMSP is not selling sculptures. The sculptures on exhibition are on loan from the lender/owners.

11. How are the sculptures going to withstand a hurricane? and what will be done with the sculptures when a hurricane is approaching? Approximately 10 large sculptures of more than one ton of weight will be exhibited. Each is fixed to a solid concrete/steel foundation in the ground and will not be damaged by a storm. The majority of approximately 20 medium size and small sculptures will be partially moved to a covered storage facility in Miami Beach during a hurricane. All measures necessary to protect the cultural property will be made pursuant to the lending contracts as between ADMSP and the lenders.

12. Why is somebody going through such a costly and time consuming exercise to privately develop a sculpture park? ADMSP is a true neighborhood and resident caused project that is being brought to fruition by the giving of many. The individual initiators want to do something good for the community where they are all also residents. They want to help develop a better economic/social and nicer living environment in North Beach. Among the initiators and sponsors are entrepreneurs, lawyers, artists, corporate executives and students who all want to give something to the community.
