Public Art Collection
Public art tells a story, beautifies spaces, and invites conversation. It is
art that is for the people, about the people, and selected by the people. This collection was installed in 2004-2010. Most artwork projects were developed in a program overseen by the Public Art Committee which was a volunteer board appointed by City Council.
