Public Art and Civic Engagement encompasses the projects that are independent of our core program areas. Within this program area, we create artworks that are responsive to community histories and current needs, helping to envision what each story looks like on the wall or in the designated public space. We also develop work that is fueled by the endless creativity of artists, connecting those who are interested in the social practice aspect of our work with neighborhoods that are ready for introspection and action. We preserve our collection of iconic murals for future generations, ensuring that the vital histories behind those artworks will be shared for years to come. We also build bridges between past projects and future innovations, with a continued focus on telling the incredible stories of our city through profound public art.
