Idea 1 : The Port District Art Trail
From its inception in the 2000s , the Riverwalk Boardwalk has been a signature project for the City of Port St . Lucie . With accelerated development of the what is now known as The Port and Pioneer Park underway and anticipated through 2023 this project is a perfect candidate to create an ‘ Art Trail ’ that could become a key tool for placemaking in the city . A variety of different sizes , styles , and types of public art should be installed throughout The Port and adjoining parks and facilities . A series of specific public art projects could anchor the art trail include :
Playable Public Art
A new playground under development near the Riverwalk Boardwalk in Westmoreland Park could accommodate a large scale playable piece of public art . Due to the unique needs of this piece of public art , the method of selection should be either limited invitational or direct selection . Artists should have experience completing successful playable art or playground . The artists will likely work on the national level . A substantial budget of $ 250,000 - $ 400,000 should be considered in order to make substantial impact .
