Current Percent for Art Projects

The Percent For Art program was adopted by Pittsburgh city ordinance in 1977. This legislation dedicated 1% of municipal construction or major renovation budgets to the inclusion of public art. Although this funding allocation was overlooked for periods of time, in recent years this program has resulted in many new works of public art on city property, most commonly in public parks.
