Purpose and intent.

Charlotte City Code § 15-232

in effect

Sec. 15-232. - Purpose and intent. The city accepts responsibility for expanding the opportunity for its citizens to experience art in public places. The city also recognizes that the inclusion of public art in appropriate capital improvements projects will promote the cultural heritage and artistic development of the city, enhance the city's character and identity, contribute to economic development and tourism, add warmth, dignity, beauty and accessibility to public spaces, and expand the experience and participation of citizens with visual arts. A policy is therefore established to direct that funding for the inclusion of works of art in certain capital improvement projects constructed by the city be allocated through this public art program that supercedes and replaces the joint public art program previously operated by the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Public Art Commission that had been established through resolutions duly adopted by the city and the county.
