The City of Richardson recently adopted a Public Art Master Plan.

Key recommendations of the plan include:

• Carefully selecting public art projects that: reinforce the city’s design character, express the identity of Richardson’s neighborhoods, embrace the city’s diversification, engage people and display Richardson’s history.
• Identifying public art opportunities that speak to local identity and the city’s image
• The need for diversified funding sources for public art
• Input and involvement by the City Council, Cultural Arts Commission and key stakeholders in selecting future public art projects
• The importance of administrative guidelines to make sure that public art is representative of the community and continues to be conserved and maintained.
