Art in Public Places
The City of Eugene established its commitment to the visual arts through the Percent for Art Ordinance of 1981, which states that it is an appropriate function of government to foster arts and the development of artists.
This program commissions works of art in public places, in addition to furthering the policy of fostering art and developing artists in Eugene. More information
