The development of a Public Art Master Plan was <br />identified as a strategy to advance Eugene’s arts and culture in the 2007 Cultural Policy Review report. <br /> <br />Through Friday, October 2, the public is invited to share their views on <br />public art by taking a confidential online survey. A public workshop on <br />the Public Art Master Plan will be held at 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday, <br />October 20, in The Studio at the Hult Center. At the workshop, the <br />results of the survey will be discussed and additional ideas solicited to <br />further master plan work. <br /> <br />The resulting master plan will be the first time in the 25-year history of <br />the City’s public art program that a formal public art vision and plan <br />will define the program priorities and future direction. <br /> <br />The development of the Public Art Master Plan will be guided by an 18-member steering committee comprised of <br />artists, community leaders and City staff. The committee will be assisted by a consultant team led by Barney & <br />Worth, Inc. and the Regional Arts & Culture Council of Portland.
