Elevate Española will present Sundial Spectrum, a site-specific art installation and mural by Miami-born artist Jen Stark on Dec. 3 at 1 p.m. between Washington and Collins avenues. The work will feature 13 sculptural panels fabricated from clear acrylic sheets, layered with laser-cut transparent vinyl — showcasing Stark’s signature spectrum of bold colors. Inspired by geometry and natural forms, the hypnotic patterns will interact and shift throughout the day. As sunlight filters through, viewers will find themselves surrounded by rainbow shadows along Española Way.

The piece is the seventh installment of Elevate Española, a temporary public art program launched by the city in 2022, which aims to enhance the corridor and encourage pedestrian connectivity to Ocean Drive. View Other Temporary Art Exhibits
