>> Share this project: myglendalepublicart.org

Under the direction of the City of Glendale’s Arts & Culture Commission, an advisory group to the Glendale City Council on arts and culture policies, leading community engagement specialist Community Arts Resources (CARS), and the nation’s leading public art expert, Barbara Goldstein, are developing the City’s first Public Art Master Plan. Goals of the 6-month outreach project include:

Reviewing existing art in public spaces
Identifying potential locations for public art
Developing rules for distributing the Urban Art Fund
Identify potential arts and culture partners in the community
Develop governance structure of staffing, implementation, and maintenance of program and artwork

The Glendale Public Art Master Plan hopes to provide a blueprint for the City to continue to enrich the experience of its growing numbers of residents and visitors, and enhance the quality of life and local economy in the built environment through arts and culture.
