Art in Public Places
|
Thanks to Volusia County's ambitious Art in Public Places program, the creations of 81 artists from across the nation adorn the walls and courtyards of 16 county facilities. The Volusia County Council established the program in 1990 to establish funding for procurement of art in county-owned and operated buildings. Since then, 0.5 to 1 percent of the construction price for all new, expanded and renovated publicly accessible county buildings has been set aside for the acquisition of artwork for permanent display. More than $1 million has been appropriated to purchase more than 200 pieces of art that represent a wide range of media including acrylic, oil, watercolor, aluminum, bronze, marble, clay, fiber, wood and photography. |
