Art in Public Places
For more than twenty years, the City of Charlotte’s Art in Public Places program
has made it possible for talented artists who are well-known locally and nationally
to enhance public spaces throughout the city with works of art. The art ranges from
outdoor sculptures and murals to functional works integrated into architecture.
Artists have successfully incorporated traditions, objects, and physical marks of
community members to create cultural landmarks that have become cornerstones of
community identity.
The City of Charlotte was the first city in Charlotte making a commitment to include works
of art in construction projects when it established the Art in Public Places program
in 1985. By ordinance, 2% of budgets are allocated to commission or purchase art
for public sites such as the airport, convention center, libraries, parks, police
stations, recreation centers and streetscapes.
The Charlotte Arts Commission provides oversight and appoints a seven-member Art in
Public Places Panel composed of respected local visual arts and design professionals
to make program recommendations. The Art in Public Places Panel and staff work closely
with project architects, city department and community representatives to ensure
that the Art in Public Places Collection is comprised of high quality works of art
that represent the broad range of media, styles, and cultural sensibilities that
contribute to Charlotte's distinctive ambiance. See and experience Art in Public Places
for yourself!
