Introduction and Goals
Introduction
The Phoenix Office of Arts and Culture champions, promotes, and supports the City's arts and
culture community to make 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 FY 2023-2028 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 Phoenix 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 2022-2023 = July 2022 – June 2023). 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 10% of the total
five-year budget.
6
Goals
Public art projects within the FY 2023-2028 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 2023-2028 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.
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 Phoenix General Plan. Some of these efforts are realized through the FY 2023-2028
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 2023-2028 Public Art Plan is implemented, POAC will continue integrating these important
citywide goals.

EXTERNAL PARTNERSHIP PROJECTS
sunBLOCK heat awareness campaign
National Endowment for the Arts grant
POAC worked with Arizona State University heat researchers to develop Spanish and English
versions of a heat awareness booklet that was distributed city-wide and available online.
Arizona artists were also contracted to create designs for heat mitigating personal umbrellas to
improve pedestrian and transit comfort. These projects were coordinated with city-wide efforts
to raise awareness about and reduce the impact of urban heat.
Fry’s Food Stores
Council District 1
POAC staff worked with Fry’s
Food Stores to integrate an
indoor mural at the entrance of a
new North Norterra Parkway
store. The mural, titled The Palo
Verde Tree by artist Kenneth
Keene (AZ), celebrates the unique
spirit and identity of the store’s
community and surroundings.
This project was dedicated in
October 2022.

American Rescue Plan Act funds
Council District 7
POAC partnered with Artlink Inc, Downtown Phoenix Inc., and the Phoenix Convention Center
to commission artist Kayla Newnam (AZ) to create a 190’L x 10’H mural on Adams Street, near
the entrance of the Phoenix Convention Center. The temporary mural will be installed through
spring 2026 as it greets thousands of visitors to several major sporting events to be hosted in
Phoenix. In December 2022, Newman hosted two Community Paint Days, where the public was
invited to help paint the mural. This project was dedicated in January 2023.

aligned with COP Summer Heat
Safety Initiatives. Lighting upgrades
and new plexiglass covers for the
lightboxes were also installed as part
of this refurbishment project which
was completed in March 2023.

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
2023-2028 Public Art Plan. Funding of all projects is subject to City Council approval through
future plans.
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 new ways to engage with artists.
Collaborative Neighborhood Projects
Artists will be selected to work directly with neighborhood and business associations, such as
theHUB (Hatcher Urban Businesses) and the Roosevelt Action Association, to enhance parks,
business corridors, and other community amenities. These enhancements foster community
collaborations 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 future 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. POAC 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.
Public Works Recycling and Sustainability Initiative
POAC 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.
FY 2023-2028 Multi-Year Initiatives

Rio Reimagined
Rio Reimagined is the Valley’s more 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. POAC 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.
Tres Rios Wetlands
Artist Adam Kuby has been contracted 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-
