STARTING A PROJECT :: RESOURCES FOR COMMUNITIES

Communities that are interested in developing public art projects should investigate existing financial and partnership resources. Does your community have a formal arts commission or public art program that sponsors projects? Are there new, private developments or government-sponsored building projects planned in your community that could be enhanced by the inclusion of artworks? Does your community have an Office of Neighborhoods, Neighborhood Matching Grant program or Community Development Department? All of these resources may provide opportunities for the creation of public art.
