sense of place, that improve the visual environment for the citizens of
Broward County and that advance the missions of the County departments

selected artists and interested constituent groups during the design
stages of the projects.

Established
in 1979, Florida's statewide
percent-for-art program acquires artwork for new public facilities built
with state funds. It requires that up to .5% of the construction
appropriation be set aside to acquire artwork for permanent display in
the public areas in, on or around that facility. This includes
construction at the state universities and colleges. Since the program's
beginnings in 1979, over 1,000 works of art have been purchased or
commissioned and placed in public spaces.
Projects
are periodically advertised to artists on their web site at www.Florida-Arts.org/programs/statebuildings

The City of St.
Petersburg's Art in Public Places Program is funded through a "per
cent for art" ordinance, passed in 1990. The Public Art Commission
seeks to acquire high quality works of art, which "connect"
with residents and visitors, help to develop the community's sense of
identity and provide opportunities for informed community dialog.
Its public art includes the work of many of Florida's outstanding
artists and is on display in public buildings, parks, recreation
centers, water towers, highway entrance ramps, fire stations and
libraries. With work in every corner of the city, public art is
available to residents and visitors. The diversity of artwork ranges
from found-object sculptures to paintings of Florida flora and fauna;
from site-specific neon sculpture to realistic bronze, and includes
photography, textiles, stained glass, murals and ceramics.
The collection is considers to be a civic resource and an expression of
St. Petersburg's growing emphasis on its cultural identity. Learn more
