New Creative Frameworks
-
Artwork that explores the physical, cultural, and social landscape of our region.
-
Public art that builds community through interaction and participation from both residents and visitors. Connection-focused projects can also emphasize way-finding and placemaking.
-
New projects that acknowledge the multitude of histories that have shaped the community, address narrative gaps in the public art collection, and invite residents to share their perspectives.
