Idea 7 : Functional Public Art
In order to create a variety of commission opportunities and implement pedestrian scale public artworks a functional art program should be undertaken in areas with pedestrian or cycling access . These works could mural based and more temporary or sculptural should focus on local artists . These pieces should be implemented over the next 5 years and an open call for artists should be used for selection . A budget of $ 10,000- $ 20,000 should be considered for each piece subject to the availability of funds .
Types of infrastructure that could accommodate or utilize public art include :
• Bus Stops and Shelters
• Bike Racks
• Storm Drains
• Benches
• Sidewalks
• Dumpsters
• Manhole Covers
• Utility Box Covers
