City Seeks Ideas On Public Art Spending
Edina, Minn., July 1, 2014 – The City’s next online discussion has been set up at www.SpeakUpEdina.org.
The discussion, which focuses on spending public money on public art, is available until July 31.
In the discussion, the City asks:
How should permanent public art be purchased? Would you support the City spending public money
on public art throughout the City?
Public art is currently displayed along the Edina Promenade, at 50th & France, Grandview Square Park
and at Edina City Hall. Pieces are also on display at Edinborough Park and the Edina Senior Center.
Where else would you like to see public art expanded?
If the City purchased public art, how much should the City spend per piece? Per year?
In June, the City gathered feedback on conservation incentives. Questions posed ranged from whether or not
residents would take advantage of incentives, what types of upgrades should be incented, what types of
incentive programs could be offered, and how such a program should be funded. Findings from this discussion
will be presented to the City Council July 15.
To weigh in on this month’s discussion, visit www.SpeakUpEdina.org.
