In addition, the artist will work with the design team to affect the aesthetic design of the streetscape, identify opportunities for discrete or integrated artworks to be incorporated into the streetscape design, and assist in identifying additional opportunities for local artist participation. The project should be informed by a meaningful community engagement process in order to reflect the needs of the community, create identity, and communicate an authentic sense of place.
