BIG IDEA 4

POP-UP PROJECTS

Create Community Experiences

Commission a series of (permanent or temporary) art projects to be exhibited outdoors as a way to increase public interest and participation in experiences with art in public places (within the next 12 to 18 months). This idea recognizes the importance of providing residents and visitors access to quality artistic experiences in the public sphere. The artwork could function to bring attention to prevailing social issues, elevate public interest and create a sense of pride for the city. Projects might also serve as creative and experiential approaches to developing wayfinding systems for navigating the City. An added benefit of these pilot projects is the opportunity to assemble selection panels that involve young people as peers among adult residents.
