Public art is central to the cultural life of the City and is strongly
supported by the Burlington community. The incorporation of artwork throughout
the public areas of the City notably improves the quality of life of City
residents and the quality of experience of City visitors. The Art in Public
Places Program, upon approval of the City Council, will be fully integrated into
the management and development of Burlington’s waterfront.
The Art in Public Places Program will:
- Provide the City’s residents and visitors with an expanded
visual arts experience by creating permanent and temporary sites for art
throughout the City;
- Enhance Burlington's standing as an arts community;
- Provide opportunities for professional artists to integrate
artworks and ideas into a variety of settings and involve City residents in
the development of art in public places.
The public art planning process shall relate to the City's various planning
functions, such as infrastructure improvement, neighborhood planning processes,
park planning. and redevelopment. Whenever possible sites for artwork projects
will be identified at the early stages of planning in order that artwork and art
ideas can be effectively and economically integrated into project development
The public art selection procedure, as more fully described by Burlington
City Arts' Art in Public Places Guidelines will not override or
adversely affect any plan for the use of public or private land by the City.
Burlington City Arts will review and, if necessary, revise the public art
selection process not less than annually.
