Clive Public Art Master Plan -
Public art plays a significant role in a community. In order to create a successful public art program that reflects and enhances the community, a planning process must be organized which takes into account the views and attitudes of the community.
The Public Art Master Plan addresses those challenges and opportunities, and it charts a course for the creation of a public art program in Clive. Specifically, the plan:
- Establishes a vision for public art embracing Clive’s innovative attitude;
- Identifies geographic priorities for focusing resources;
- Recommends the planning, funding, and decision-making processes necessary to achieve the vision.
