Dakota County is launching a project to guide the future of public art across the county. It will cover county departments, facilities, libraries and parks.
The Public Art Advisory Committee and community stakeholders will work together in the project. They will define the role of public art in enhancing civic life in the county. The effort will result in a unifying vision, goals and strategies for public art across county departments and facilities. The framework will address funding, maintenance and policy considerations.
