The vast majority of artists in Miami Beach's program sell beaded jewelry, with Commissioner David Suarez pushing for a more diverse range of artistic offerings.
Suarez criticized the predominance of bead jewelry in public sales, describing it as 'tacky' and urging for a shift towards more refined art displays.
The commission's proposal aims to limit bead sellers to 15, representing a significant adjustment from the current number, reflecting concerns about quality and diversity.
City officials highlighted that nearly 90% of the 58 artists involved in the program are bead stringers, raising questions about the artistic variety on display.
