A public art project is currently being planned for the Greater Hill District. This project will be funded by the City's Percent For Art program, which is legislation that dedicates 1% of municipal construction or major renovation budgets to public art. Formerly used to pay for smaller, frequently temporary installations, these funds are now strategically focused on larger projects in a more equitable way.
Project updates and opportunities for engagement will be posted to this page as the become available.
