Art in Public places is established to encourage the integration of art into the architecture of municipal structures, increase the general public awareness of art, to visually enhance the community, to capture a part of our history for future generations, to promote the establishment of a collection of art with the works of artists who live or work, or who have lived or worked in Los Alamos County having a priority.
The Art in Public Places fund is created for the express purposes of acquiring, installing, and maintaining county-owned works of art and for the administrative support, cataloging, display, and use attendant to the County's ownership of the works of art. The account shall include one percent of the budget of any capital improvement project and one-half of one percent of the budget of any such road project.
Thank you to everyone who shared feedback on the proposed Justice Center Wall art project by artist J Muzacz. As a reminder, this project is a glass, tiled mosaic located on the south-facing wall adjacent to Trinity Drive.
The proposed cost for this project is $55,000.
The Art in Public Places Board (APPB) reviewed your input and shared it with the artist, who used your thoughtful suggestions to create a revised design. We now invite you to share your final thoughts on the project.
Design #1 is the original Option #3 from the previous survey, unchanged.
Design #2 is a revised version that reflects many of the suggestions submitted during the last round of feedback.
We appreciate your continued involvement in helping shape this public art installation.
