“Great public art projects are created when a confluence of artists, public agencies and citizens commit to work together to express our cultural values in the built environment,” said Cath Brunner, 4Culture’s public art program manager. “We’re proud of our region’s culture of collaboration and innovation, and are pleased to have local artists’ visionary civic work celebrated by Americans for the Arts.”
