Strategy 1
Placemaking with public art
A consistent message from residents and stakeholders was a lack of and a need for a Downtown area in Port St . Lucie . Though this possibility is outside the scope of an Art in Public Places Master Plan , by using public art for placemaking we can fulfill some of the roles of a downtown through public art .
What can we accomplish ?
• Create a sense of place
• Beautify the built environment
• Establish community meetings points
• Provide opportunities for interaction
Strategy 2
WOW ! public art
Large-scale public art that is visually striking or highly interactive has the power to transform the way that people experience their community . The Art in Public Places program should strive towards implementing highly impactful pieces of public art .
Strategy 3
Empower local artists
There is a strong local arts community in Port St . Lucie and the surrounding areas . Specific opportunities should be created to empower the community and engage with emerging artists .
