public art programs
Civic creative initiatives
Public art programs are organized initiatives, usually government-funded or nonprofit, that commission and install artwork in shared spaces—murals, sculptures, installations in parks, plazas, and transit stations.
Many cities allocate a percentage of construction budgets to such programs: The city's public art program commissioned a bronze sculpture for the new library.
These programs aim to make art accessible beyond museums and galleries.
