§ 271-102. Purpose.  


Latest version.
  • The city accepts responsibility for expanding the opportunity for its citizens to experience art in, and for the beautification of, public places. The city also recognizes that the inclusion of public art in appropriate locations will promote the cultural heritage and artistic development of the city, enhance the city's character and identity, contribute to economic development and tourism, improve public safety, add warmth, dignity, beauty and accessibility to public spaces, and expand the experience and participation of citizens with the arts. A policy is therefore established to direct that funding for the inclusion of works of art and beautification of public space in certain capital improvement projects supported by the city be allocated through this public art for neighborhoods program.
