Public Art

On November 15, 2006 the City Council Adopted an ordinance that requires developers for all new multiple-family and non-residential projects to incorporate a work of art, or to contribute toward a work of art, at a value equal to one dollar for each square foot of new construction. All projects that are subject to Design Review Board approval will also be required to comply with the new public art ordinance. Projects limited to facade improvements or interior renovations with no additional square footage will be exempt. For further information please contact Janet McCracken at (239) 213-7120 or Robin Singer at (239) 213-1050. To visit our Art in Public Places page for more details just Click Here.
