Abstract:

This Public Art Roadmap is intended to chart a course for what the Public Arts Trust should do next. The Roadmap process took place from October 2014 through June 2015. It involved a review of program documentation; numerous interviews with staff of County agencies engaged with public art, infrastructure development and planning; visits to most of the non-school artworks in the collection; a public internet survey; “lunch and learn” presentations with planning and transportation staff; review of numerous County planning documents, including the general plan, growth management plan, and area or sector plans; and monthly meetings with either the full Trust Steering Committee or a special Roadmap committee. The first half of this Roadmap is devoted to raising the creative ambitions for public art in Montgomery County, and identifying projects that are likely candidates for success. The second half is devoted to discussing how the Trust can shift from a reactive to a pro-active posture — how it can start the long and patient process of working strategically and public agencies and communities with the most innovative practices that can be found in public art.
