Calling all Doral Business Owners or Workers

Doral Business Owner or Worker Survey

On June 15, 2015, the City of Doral adopted via Ordinance No. 2015-09 the City’s Public Arts Program. The goal of this program is to contribute to the aesthetic character of the City’s built environment and cultural enrichment of the community. This program ensures a stimulating cultural environment that reflects and enhances the City’s heritage, diversity, quality of life, and character through public artworks integrated into the architecture, infrastructure and landscape of our city.

The City’s deep commitment to Doral’s artistic excellence and cultural amenities has prompted this stakeholder survey to assess the current public art program to more strategically invest in works that reflect the community, inspire imagination and trigger economic growth by attracting visitors to view and engage with the art.

Thank you for assisting us by completing this survey. The City of Doral is seeking to learn more about the perceptions, opinions, and stakeholder needs as it relates to future investments in public art. We ask that you kindly provide your open and honest feedback to every question, which should take about 15 minutes.
