Art in Public Places programs (various US cities)

Art in Public Places programs are initiatives in various U.S. cities aimed at enhancing public spaces through art. These programs often involve commissioning artists to create murals, sculptures, and installations that reflect the community's culture and identity. The goal is to make art accessible to everyone, beautify neighborhoods, and encourage community engagement. Funding typically comes from city budgets, private donations, or specific taxes designated for the arts. By integrating art into public environments, cities promote creativity, stimulate local economies, and foster a sense of pride among residents.
