Honor or remember a loved one through Art...

Permanent art installations are a tribute that can last for centuries. Review the Public Art Master Plan (download.pdf) and see what you can do to create a lasting memory, one that can be seen and touched for generations. Each installation is accompanied by a plaque inscribed with the name of those you wish to honor. Additional major donors have the option of assisting in the selection and acquisition process for the art piece. Contact the City Arts Coordinator, Julie K.
