Percent for Art
The Percent For Art Program was adopted by Pittsburgh city ordinance in 1977. Under this legislation, 1% of municipal construction or major renovation budgets is dedicated to the inclusion of public art. While this funding allocation was overlooked for many years by previous administrations, the City's Planning Department have reinvigorated the program, resulting in a range of new works of public art on city property, most commonly in public parks.
