The city introduced its first ever public art plan this week, in conjunction with a two-day symposium at the Cultural Center, and as part of the Year of Public Art.

  • Consider increasing the types of projects covered by the city Percent for Art Ordinance (which mandates that a portion of the cost of any new government building be spent on artwork for that project).

  2. Establish clear and transparent governmental practices (for example, improving permit procedures).

  7. Build awareness of and engagement with Chicago’s public art (in part by constructing a public art website).
