‘A lot more art’: Lawrence leaders express interest in reexamining workings of public art program

Lawrence city leaders expressed interest Tuesday in reexamining how the city funds public art, selects artists, and places public art around the city. As part of its meeting Tuesday, the Lawrence City Commission reviewed the city resolution governing the long-standing Percent for Art program as well as related city administrative policy. The resolution allows city leaders to set aside up to 2% of a capital project’s budget for public art, and the policy sets out a process for selecting art or artists.
