Discussion On Public Art Blueprint Research And Community Dialog
end
PURPOSE/ACTION REQUESTED
Discuss the public art blueprint research and community dialog.
SUMMARY
Dakota County is in the process of developing its first public art blueprint. The blueprint will assess how public art can be incorporated across County libraries, parks, and facilities. The blueprint will define a unifying vision and goals for public art and tackle practical aspects like funding, maintenance, and policy.
The initial research and community dialog phases of the project are complete. During these phases, the project team inventoried current public art across County departments with a focus on parks and libraries and reviewed the current public art collection as well as funding, maintenance, and policies. In August-October, the community was engaged through an online questionnaire, 11 pop-up engagements at community events, and roundtable discussions with artists and arts organizations. Over 500 people participated in person, and 285 participated in the online questionnaire. Attachment: Findings and Directions summarizes research and engagement activities. Full questionnaire results, pop-up engagement comments, and meeting notes can be reviewed at the link below.

The next phase of the project is to develop a draft of the public art blueprint, which will include vision, mission, identification of future opportunities, and administrative tools.
