The National Endowment for the Arts announced its 2013 Our Town Grant Award recipients today.
The Cultural Development Corporation of Central Oklahoma will receive a $50,000 award to hire a
consultant to develop a comprehensive public art master plan to implement and leverage the city's
One Percent for Art Ordinance.
The ordinance, passed in 2009, requires that one percent of any new construction budget
commissioned by the city be allocated to public art.
A public art master plan will provide procedural guidance and policy recommendations for reviewing and
commissioning public art in Oklahoma City. Goals for the plan include finding ways to improve the artist
selection process, maximize artistic quality, and engage the broader arts community in planning for
public art. Congratulations to OKC and the Cultural Development Corporation!
