Introduction and Goals
Introduction
The Arts and Culture Department champions, promotes, and supports the City's arts and
culture community, making Phoenix a great place to live, work, and visit.
The Arts and Culture Department (ACD) 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.
ACD develops the FY 2024-2029 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 2024-2025 = July 2024 – June 2025). 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 2024-2029 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 2024-2029 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, ACD 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 2024-2029
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 2024-2029 Public Art Plan is implemented, ACD will continue integrating these important
citywide goals.

FY 2023-2024 Completed Public Art Projects
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM PROJECTS
Drought Pipeline Walls and Fences
Council District 6
Artist Mary Shindell was contracted to
work with the Water Services
Department and its project team to
design two walls that were constructed
as a part of the Drought Pipeline
Relocation Project. The first wall is a 364-
foot integral colored concrete block wall
located along Maryland Avenue near
22nd Street. The second is a 60-foot cast
in place relief concrete wall that is
located along 20th Street at Northview
Avenue. Designs for both walls are
inspired by native desert plants. This
project was completed in 2023.
Solano Park – Skate Park
Council District 4
(Partial Completion)
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 southernmost pipe is 8’ wide and
skateable. This project is schedule to be complete
in June 2024 and is also featured on the cover of
this Plan.

Western Canalscape
Council District 7, 8
(Partial Completion)
Two existing stainless-steel sculptures were purchased for
placement along the Western Canal at 20th Street. A 5’7” tall
sculpture, titled Uanm, was purchased from artist Ken McCall
and a 11’tall sculpture, titled Ascension, was purchased from
artist Hector Ortega. These sculptures are scheduled to be
installed in late 2024.
EXTERNAL AND INTERNAL PARTNERSHIP PROJECTS
S’edav Va’aki Museum
Council District 8
In partnership with the S’edav Va’aki Museum and
Artlink, Inc., Arts and Culture contracted with
O’Odham artist Thomas “Breeze” Marcus to create a
large-scale mural for the community building,
adjacent to the museum entrance. The mural, titled
Legacy, was commissioned in celebration of the
museum’s renaming to highlight the connection the
site has with the local O'Odham and Piipaash
communities. This project was funded with
American Rescue Plan Act dollars and is also
featured on the cover of this Plan.

Hot Days, Cool Fun children’s activity booklet
City-wide
In partnership with the Office of Heat Response and
Mitigation, the Library Department, and Arizona State
University, Arts and Culture contracted with Lisa Mac Studio
to design a children’s activity booklet for heat safety. These
books are free and have been given away at several City of
Phoenix events. Children can learn about safe ways to play
in the summer, signs of heat exhaustion, and how to pack a
HeatReady kit.
The booklet was created with support from the
environmental Protection Agency’s “Let’s Talk About Heat
Challenge,” a national competition to innovate
communication strategies that educate people about
extreme heat and how to stay safe.
Trash/Recycling bin wraps
Council District 7
Artists Ariana Enriquez and Kathryn Maxwell were commissioned to create wraps for trash and
recycling bins located in the Evans Churchill and Roosevelt historic neighborhoods. These often-
overlooked objects now have unique designs that provide a cohesive identity for the
community. The artists worked closely with neighborhood representatives and the Community
and Economic Development Department to realize their vision.
10
Shadow Play
Council District 7
A contractor was hired to repaint this
functional artwork by Meejin Yoon. The
artwork consists of series of shade structures,
seating, and landscaping at three sites along
Roosevelt Street in the heart of the Roosevelt
Arts District in downtown Phoenix. Solar-
powered canopies draw renewable energy
from the sun to light the space at night. The
project was completed in 2015 and regularly
sees heavy use from pedestrians and transit
riders. The repair work was completed in
March 2024.

FY 2023-2024 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! The Celebration of Shade, received
$1,000,000 to commission nine artists to create
shading and cooling installations in response to
extreme urban heat. These projects will be on view in
the spring of 2025 in various parks throughout the city;
then in September 2025, the projects will be reinstalled
at Steele Indian School Park for a free, one-day festival.

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.
26
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
2024-2029 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 also supports the Bloomberg Philanthropies Public Art Challenge.
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
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 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 2024-2029 Multi-Year Initiatives
27
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 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. 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
matching 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.
