The City formed the Arts Commission in 2006 to promote the visual, performing and literary arts; encourage the creative contribution of local artists; make recommendations for public art to the City Council; support community-building events; and foster the City's cultural heritage. It has been a desire of the City Council to install a public art piece that would complement the existing public artwork in the city. A dedicated funding stream via the rental fees for "City" days at the McGavick Conference Center was created in 2014 to provide resources for public art.

III. Budget
$50,000 - $65,000 - $80,000

IV. Art Opportunity
Overview

            Art "Theme"

Installation

The project engineer will work with the selected artist regarding specifications and inspection of the art installation. Depending on the installation need, there may be some coordination during this time with the project engineer. Existing trees and landscaping will not be removed to accommodate artwork.
