EL DORADO COUNTY’S PUBLIC ART LONG TERM EFFORTS El Dorado Arts Council’s mission To promote, connect, and empower arts and culture throughout the county is achieved by targeted programs and services, a vibrant gallery exhibition series, and a focus on initiatives which support and sustain the cultural life of the region. https://eldoradoartscouncil.org/
PERCENT FOR ART ORDINANCES
Cities across the U.S. have instituted “Percent for Art” programs, which mandate that a portion of the budget for city-funded construction projects is used to fund and install public art.
Since 1959, local Percent-for-Art ordinances have been applied to publicly-funded capital improvement projects. There exists over 350 public art programs in the United States, 111 of them serve populations of 150,000 or less.
We are asking the City to consider including public art in ongoing design, planning and redevelopment through a Percent-for-Art Ordinance.
