Percent for Art
Percent for Art is a public funding program that allocates a percentage of certain government construction budgets for the commissioning of artwork. This initiative aims to enhance public spaces and promote local artists by integrating art into community projects.
Typically, the percentage set aside for art is around 1% of the total construction cost. The program encourages collaboration between artists, architects, and the community, resulting in unique and meaningful artworks that reflect the culture and identity of the area.
