Public Art Master Plans

LAND studio can help you develop a master plan, commission a new work, or create a temporary art installation. Our project managers connect you with artists, facilitate panel reviews, provide advice on materials and venues, and address common barriers for public art projects like insurance and permitting.

In recognition of the value that public art can bring to the cultural, aesthetic, and economic vitality of the community, the City of Salem, working in partnership with the Salem Partnership and the Peabody Essex Museum, successfully sought a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts to support the development of a Public Art Master Plan. Via Partnership was contracted to develop this master plan in collaboration with City staff and a Public Art Master Plan Working Group comprised of citizens of Salem. The resulting plan outlines recommendations for a basic administrative structure for Salem’s Public Art Initiative and potential public art opportunities.
