The Miami Beach Sister Cities International Program, administered by the Office of the Mayor, engages the people of Miami Beach and its sister cities abroad in partnerships and exchanges that promote trade, economic development, cultural awareness and educational opportunities. It is a celebration of Miami Beach’s multicultural and pluralistic heritage. Programs involve people of all interests and backgrounds and foster a comprehensive and all-encompassing relationship between the City of Miami Beach and its partners abroad.
In 2012 the City of Miami Beach will be hosting the 2nd Annual International Art Exhibition in celebration of the City’s 12 sister cities, which represent the following countries: Brazil, Canada, Colombia, Israel, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Peru, Spain, and Switzerland.
