Utah Public Art Installations

Art in public spaces reflects the community and its environment, connecting the past, present, and future of the built environment. Studies have shown that it can positively impact cultural, social, and economic value. Our Public Art Program has coordinated and assisted Utah communities in completing more than 300 artworks through the Percent-For-Art Program. Each project is selected by a committee composed of community members, local visual arts specialists, architects, and facilities management.
