Introduction and Background
The Phoenix City Council established the Phoenix Office of Arts and Culture Public Art Program in 1986 to help create a
more beautiful and vibrant city. The program is funded through an ordinance that allocates one percent of the Phoenix
Capital Improvement Program to enhance the design of public buildings, infrastructure and spaces. Since its inception, it
has created more than 200 major projects and become a national leader in developing unique collaborations with artists
and other design professionals to build a better Phoenix. The projects range from new airport facilities, parks, community
centers and canal trails, to bridges, streetscapes, overpasses, transit centers, recycling centers, and other key infrastructure.
Phoenix public art has garnered numerous awards for design excellence, including two Design for Transportation Awards
from the U.S. Department of Transportation and the National Endowment for the Arts, numerous Arizona Forward
Environmental Excellence Awards, including the 2001 President's Award, and other local and national recognition. The
Public Art Program has brought positive national and international media attention to the City of Phoenix through articles
in The New York Times, Newsweek, The Wall Street Journal, Art in America, The Atlantic Monthly, and Landscape
Architecture, among others.
Each year, the Phoenix Office of Arts and Culture works with funding City departments and the Mayor and City Council
to develop the annual Public Art Plan that identifies capital improvement projects in all areas of Phoenix that offer the
greatest opportunity for artist involvement and public accessibility. The plan is presented to the Mayor and City Council
for review and approval. The total budget for each project includes funds to contract for design, fabrication, installation
and project administration. Art projects, like other public works, are funded in part through City-issued bonds and other
capital improvement funds. The projects are scheduled to be in step with priorities in the City’s CIP program.
Artists are recommended for projects through a competitive procurement process that involves selection panels of arts
professionals, staff from the funding City departments and representatives of the community where public art projects will
be located. Project architects and City staff may serve as non-voting advisors to the panel. The panels review applications
usually submitted in response to a Call to Artists. The selection panels base their recommendations on the quality of the
artists’ works, their suitability for the project, and their ability to work well with the community and other design
professionals. The panel’s recommendation must be reviewed by the Phoenix Arts and Culture Commission, a volunteer
citizen advisory board, and approved by the Mayor and City Council before artists can be contracted to begin work.

The Phoenix Office of Arts and Culture has developed the FY 2021-26 Public Art Plan with input and assistance from the
Mayor and City Council, City residents, artists, funding City departments, and the Phoenix Arts and Culture Commission.
1. Design Team Projects
Artists on design teams collaborate with architects, landscape architects, engineers and community members to
plan major capital construction projects. Design team projects often create significant enhancements for new
infrastructure, stand-alone structures fabricated by the artist, or both.
2. Site-Specific Commissions
These projects often respond to the opportunities and history of a community or place. Site-specific commissions
may be incorporated into new construction or existing public facilities.
3. Purchase of Existing Artwork
The City maintains an extensive portable works collection of more than 1,000 works of art displayed in more than
20 public buildings, and at The Gallery @ City Hall.
4. Temporary Commissions
Temporary commissions include a range of short-term projects that provide professional development for artists
and that respond to selected locations or opportunities. Temporary projects may include new media, art
installations, sculptures and other changing displays.
5. Art Refurbishment and Retrofit
The City must periodically refurbish public art in the City’s collection. Sometimes major modifications or retrofits
are needed to accommodate changing site conditions or to renew the appearance of works that have been damaged
by the elements. Major modifications funded through the City’s Capital Improvement Program go beyond routine
maintenance.
6. Master Planning
The City periodically develops master plans to determine the best opportunities for incorporating art into public
projects. Master plans often recommend where specific projects or series of projects should be sited to achieve the
greatest public benefit.
The FY 2021-26 Public Art Project Plan includes the following types of public art projects:

6
2020–21 Substantially Completed Public Art Projects
Community Well Site 84/88

Artist Bobby Zokaites (AZ) worked with landscape architect Dig Studios to enhance the security and appearance of this
Community Well Site in Maryvale. The improvements included landscaping, fencing, pathways, lighting and a sculptural
landmark.
South Mountain Loop 202 Pedestrian Bridge at Elwood

Artist Jody Pinto (NY) worked with the Connect 202 and ADOT design team to design the pedestrian bridge spanning
the new 202 freeway section at Elwood Street. The perforated aluminum cladding and multicolored skylights create a
vibrant interior. The bridge glows with blue light at night. The approximately 415-foot span provides a critical pedestrian
link between residential neighborhoods and a nearby school.

Happy Valley Road I-17 Interchange Bridges

Artist Daniel Mayer (AZ) worked with an ADOT design team to enhance the design of the newly retrofitted interchange.
The project upgraded designs for the overpass fencing, support columns and concrete work.
107th Avenue Streetscape

Artists Laura Haddad and Tom Drugan (WA) created streetscape amenities as part of the
107th Avenue Street Improvement between Indian School Rd. and Camelback Rd. The featured birds and
planes highlight the work of nearby Luke Air Force Base.
2020–21 Substantially Completed Public Art Projects

8
2020–21 Partially Completed Public Art Projects
Artists’ Initiative (Influx Cycle IX)

The Phoenix Office of Arts and Culture has commissioned six Arizona artists and teams to create performances and
installations as part of the IN FLUX series of temporary public art projects. The Projects will continue to debut throughout
2021 as public health and safety permit. Some of the works will be featured online.

The series kicked off with a January 2021 film screening of The Story of Our Journey, a 51-minute video that combines
an original musical score with interviews of refugees detailing their journeys to America by clarinetist Csaba Jevtic-
Somlai and composer Dylan Findley. Other featured performers will include the Central AZ Chapter of Barbershop
Harmony Society, the team of dancer Nicole L. Olson and ceramic artist Patricia Sannit, Katharine Leigh Simpson, Erin
V. Sotak, and the artist collective Whistling Moon. The City’s In FLUX web page, https://www.phoenix.gov/arts/influx,
will provide ongoing updates and information about the projects and their schedules.

FY 2021-26 Public Art Project Plan Major Multi-Year Projects
Completion of the following projects will require significant funding resources over the next five fiscal years. Funding for

Multiple Arizona artists have been contracted to work with the community and the Water Services Department to
improve the security and appearances of community water facilities citywide.

Artists will be contracted to work with the community and City departments to enhance pedestrian and transit shade and
connectivity. The enhancements will be coordinated with City efforts to reduce the impact of urban heat and improve
mobility citywide.
Public Works Recycling and Sustainability Initiative
The Public Art Program 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 educational outreach about recycling and bolster
City efforts to increase recycling citywide.
