Introduction and Goals 
Introduction 
The Phoenix Office of Arts and Culture is the City's designated local arts agency. It champions, 
promotes, and supports the local arts and culture community, making Phoenix a great place 
to live, work, and visit.   
The Phoenix Office of Arts and Culture (POAC) is a local and national leader in the public art 
field and has garnered numerous awards for design excellence, including Design for 
Transportation awards from the U.S. Department of Transportation and Public Art Network 
Year in Review awards from Americans for the Arts. 
Established in 1986, the Public Art Program works with local, national, and international artists 
to create a more beautiful and vibrant city. By ordinance, one percent of the Capital 
Improvement Program is utilized to enhance the design of public buildings, infrastructure, and 
spaces within the City of Phoenix. Since its inception, the program has completed more than 
200 major projects, including airport terminals, community centers, streetscapes, parks, canals, 
transit centers, bridges, underpasses, recycling centers, and public safety buildings. 
A competitive procurement process identifies artists for public art projects. The process utilizes 
a selection panel containing art and design professionals, project stakeholders, and community 
representatives relevant to the project's location. City staff and project team members often 
serve as non-voting advisors to the panel. Panelists are responsible for reviewing applications 
submitted in response to a Call to Artists, interviewing finalists, and making recommendations 
to the Arts and Culture Commission, a volunteer citizen advisory board appointed by City 
Council. The quality of work, suitability for the project, and the ability to work well with the 
community and other design professionals influence the selection panel's final 
recommendations. The Phoenix City Council approves the final recommendation before the 
contract is executed and artists begin work. 
POAC develops the Public Art Plan annually with input and assistance from the Mayor and 
City Council, city residents, artists, city departments that provide public art project funding, 
and the Arts and Culture Commission. The timing of the plan coincides with the annual Capital 
Improvement Program budgeted per fiscal year (July 1 – June 30; for example, FY 2025-2026 = 
July 2025 – June 2026).  The plan outlines several project types, including design team projects, 
permanent commissions, purchases of existing artwork, temporary commissions, art 
refurbishment and retrofits, and master planning.  Overhead costs to administer the projects in 
the Plan, including staff costs, are approximately 15% of the total five-year budget.

Goals 
Public art projects within the FY 2025-2030 Public Art Plan are prioritized based on 
opportunities to integrate artwork into individual Capital Improvement Program projects and 
their potential impact on the neighborhood and the broader arts community.  These decisions 
are made closely with funding departments and City Council offices.  Under these parameters, 
the FY 2025-2030 Public Art Plan focuses on the equitable distribution of funds, as allowable by 
the percent-for-art ordinance, and the diversification of the public art collection through 
broadening the types of project opportunities and continued outreach to new artists and arts 
organizations.  This year, only a few new projects were added based on the City’s focus on 
General Obligation Bond projects (previously included in the Plan) and the addition of grant-
funded projects. 
Additionally, POAC strives to develop project opportunities and program policies that align with 
strategic goals outlined in several long-range planning documents, like the Climate Action Plan 
and the Shade and Tree Master Plan.  Some of these efforts are realized through the FY 2025-
2030 Public Art Plan, like promoting the use of sustainable materials and sourcing methods to 
commissioned artists and proactively seeking community input on project opportunities.  As the 
FY 2025-2030 Public Art Plan is implemented, POAC will continue integrating these important 
citywide goals.

FY 2024-2025 Completed Public Art Projects 
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM PROJECTS 
Solano Park 
Council District 4 
Artists Tom Drugan and Laura Haddad were contracted to 
create artwork for Solano Park, with a particular focus on 
the skate park. The artwork, titled Pipe Dreams, was 
designed in partnership with the Parks Department, the 
local skate community, and area residents. It references a 
late 1970s skate spot known as the “Desert Pipes,” a series 
of large concrete pipe sections temporarily stockpiled in 
the desert. The artwork includes three steel pipes; the 
outer pipes are skateable. This project was dedicated in 
November 2024. 
Perry Park 
Council District 8 
This artwork by Lisa Bernal Brethour depicts a 
modern “tortoise and the hare” story with 9 
lithomosaics scattered throughout the park. At the 
center of the park, a lithomosaic labyrinth with a 
night-blooming cereus desert flower encourages 
visitors to move like a bee into the center of the 
flower.  In the skate plaza, pictured right, a trompe 
l’oeil lithomosiac depicts a canyon for skaters to 
jump that complements other obstacles in the 
plaza.  Also at the skate plaza are seven vertical 
shade panels (pictured on the cover) that provide 
much needed respite for skaters.  This project was 
dedicated on April 5, 2025.

305 W. Washington Mural 
Council District 7 
Artist Ariana Enriquez completed an 
interior mural for the utility payment 
center lobby at 305 W. Washington.  
The mural embodies the calm 
characteristics of water by using a cool 
color palette of blues, greens and 
violets. The foreground is abundant 
with botanicals, birds and butterflies 
that are native to Arizona.

EXTERNAL AND INTERNAL PARTNERSHIP PROJECTS 
HIV/AIDS Awareness Mural 
Council District 7 
Mayor Kate Gallego, in partnership with 
the Phoenix Office of Arts and Culture, 
Southwest Center, One N Ten, and Aunt 
Rita's Foundation, and with support from 
Artlink Inc., commissioned a semi-
permanent mural for the south wall of 
The Parsons Center for Health and 
Wellness located in central Phoenix.  
The goal of this project was to raise awareness about HIV prevention, testing, and treatment, 
inspire community engagement, and reduce stigma around HIV. It is to serve as a visual, public 
reminder of the importance of proactive health measures and support for those affected by 
HIV, encouraging people to take action through education, testing, and advocacy while 
enhancing the experience of those seeking health, wellness, and community services from the 
organizations located on the property. 
Sidewalk Shade project 
City-wide 
(Partial completion) 
Providing shade for pedestrians and bicycle riders 
can improve public health and the economic 
vitality of communities. The City will construct 19 
shade structures in high-traffic public rights-of-
way at major intersections and crosswalks where 
people are forced to wait for signal changes. Three 
local artists, Isaac Caruso, Heidi Dauphin, and Sara 
Altieri, were hired to contribute aesthetic designs 
to the canopies. The Office of Heat Response and 
Mitigation, the Streets Transportation 
Department, and the Phoenix Office of Arts and 
Culture are working in partnership to complete 
this project by Spring 2026. 
 Canopy Design by Isaac Caruso

Nature Fest PHX Temporary Installation 
District 8 
In partnership with the Office of Environmental Programs and 
the Parks and Recreation Department, artist Martin Moreno 
was commissioned to create an interactive artwork for Nature 
Fest PHX located at the Rio Salado Habitat Restoration Area. 
The temporary interactive sculpture, Pachamama, was 
featured as part of the annual event that celebrates urban 
green spaces, wildlife, and community.  Throughout the event, 
Martin guided attendees to paint the sculpture that honored 
mother earth and her habitat around Rio Salado (Salt River).

Our Shared Environment 
Council District 4 
Specialists experienced with the 
building material adobe completed 
extensive renovations of Our Shared 
Environment by Marylin Zwak. Several 
issues were addressed, including water 
damage, cracking, and soot from 
vehicle exhaust. The wall treatments 
are at the intersection of SR51 and 
Thomas Road. The 3-year project was 
completed in the spring of 2025. 
Desert Spring 
Council District 2 
This artwork was damaged by a vehicular crash in 2023.  Several linear feet of damage occurred 
to the mosaic glass tiles incorporated into bridges along Desert Sonoran Blvd. Pedestrians and 
cyclists using the sidewalk can appreciate the intricate design of desert flora created by artists    
R & R Studios. Repairs were completed in February of 2025. 
FY 2024-2025 Completed Refurbishment and Retrofit Projects

River of Shade 
Council District 8 
This artwork, located at Harmon Park, was created 
in 2010 and needed several repairs. Artist Stacy 
Levy designed paths embedded with colorful glass 
invoking the flow of water that are integrated into 
the design of the park. The project repaired 
cracked and uneven pavement and replaced worn 
areas of the embedded glass.

FY 2024-2025 Awards and Accomplishments 
Bloomberg Philanthropies Public Art Challenge Award 
In October 2023, Bloomberg Philanthropies selected Phoenix as 
one of eight winners of its prestigious Public Art Challenge. This 
unique program supports temporary public art projects that 
address important local civic issues in cities nationwide. 
Phoenix's project, ¡Sombra! Experiments in Shade, 
received $1,000,000 to commission nine artists to create 
shading and cooling installations in response to extreme 
urban heat.   
These temporary projects were installed at parks across 
Phoenix in Spring 2025 and will be on view through 
September 2025.  The project will conclude with a celebration 
at Memorial Hall at Steele Indian School Park on September 20.

The Rio Reimagined Project is a vision to revitalize the Rio Salado (Salt River), Aqua Fria, and 
Gila Rivers, and the region by transforming over 45 miles of the river stretching from the Salt 
River Pima Maricopa Indian Community at the eastern most boundary to the City of Buckeye to 
the west and encompassing more than 78,000 acres.  Artists will be selected at several phases 
of the project to engage the community and design permanent and temporary artwork to 
enhance the visitor experience.  This project is in the planning phase.

Completing the following projects requires significant funding resources over the next five fiscal 
years. Funding for the planning and implementation of these projects is included in the FY 
2025-2030 Public Art Plan. Funding of all projects is subject to City Council approval through 
future plans. 
General Obligation Bond Program 
On November 7, 2023 Phoenix voters passed the City Council approved $500 million General 
Obligation (GO) Bond Program. GO Bond programs help to fund critical infrastructure and 
rehabilitation needs of City facilities such as parks, libraries, fire and police stations, affordable 
housing, streets, and storm drains.  Approved projects are prioritized and allocated over the 
five-year period of fiscal year 2024-2025 to fiscal year 2028-2029 and included in the 
Preliminary Capital Improvement Program (CIP) scheduled approved by City Council on March 
19, 2024.  Each of the four proposition includes a percent-for-art calculation which must be 
spent on projects in each proposition.  A breakdown of proposed public art projects is in the 
next section. 
Artist Initiatives 
On-going temporary installations provide crucial professional development opportunities for 
emerging artists and those new to public art.  Temporary installations can also activate 
underutilized spaces and provide neighborhoods with new ways to engage with artists.  This 
program is guided by the Office of Arts and Culture’s Temporary Art Guidelines. 
Collaborative Neighborhood Projects 
Artists will be selected to work directly with neighborhood and business associations, such as 
theHUB (Hatcher Urban Businesses) and the Bell Road Business Alliance, to enhance parks, 
business corridors, and other community amenities.  These enhancements foster community 
collaboration and external partnerships that expand the reach of the public art program. 
Community Water Facilities Improvements 
Over the years, multiple artists have been contracted to work with the community and the 
Water Services Department to improve the security and appearance of community water 
facilities citywide, including well sites and lift stations.  
Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport 
Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport’s new terminal modernizations represent the City's 
most significant opportunity to reach the widest public with integrated public art and design. 
PSHIA handles more than 40 million passengers annually. ACD staff continue to work with 
Aviation staff and its design teams to carry out a comprehensive plan to integrate significant art 
and design to enhance travelers’ experience. Projects will be implemented in step with the 
airport modernization phases. 
FY 2025-2030 Multi-Year Initiatives

Public Works Recycling and Sustainability Initiative 
ACD has worked with the Public Works Department since 1990 to involve artists in the design of 
innovative recycling centers, and in building awareness of the need for recycling and 
sustainable resource management. Artists will be contracted to create artworks that expand 
awareness about recycling and sustainable resource management by introducing new ways to 
reuse materials and bolster City efforts to increase recycling citywide.  
Rio Reimagined 
Rio Reimagined is the Valley’s most impactful green infrastructure project in a century.  Rio 
Salado, or the Salt River, is a historically significant and underutilized natural resource 
reimagined as a unifying public space.  A creative and collective effort is underway to  
integrate priorities of public open space, environmental quality, housing, transportation, 
economic and workforce development, community sustainability, and resilience.  ACD staff 
work with the Planning Department to identify and integrate permanent and temporary public 
art opportunities.  
Shade, Cooling, and Heat Mitigation  
Artists will be contracted to work with the community and various City departments to enhance 
the pedestrian experience by increasing shade options and improving shaded connectivity. The 
enhancements will be coordinated with City efforts to reduce the impact of urban heat and 
improve mobility citywide through initiatives like Cool Corridors.  The initiative also includes 
supporting funds for the Bloomberg Philanthropies Public Art Challenge grant. 
Tres Rios Wetlands 
Adam Kuby has been selected to work with City departments, consultants and the community 
to create significant environmental recreation and education opportunities at Tres Rios 
Wetlands. This project is part of this multi-year effort to improve the seven-mile, 1,500-acre 
wetland at the confluence of the Salt and Gila Rivers in southwestern Phoenix.
