A primary objective of the Developer Public Art Program is to provide a mechanism through which private developments can include public art as a sanctioned amenity contribution during the rezoning process.
During rezoning, developers may choose to include public art in a new building. As public art accumulates in a neighbourhood, it becomes a distinctive asset that not only adds to the area’s general attractiveness, it also becomes a powerful tool that can be used to attract new residents, businesses and visitors.
Public art plays a significant role in creating an authentic sense of place and community revitalization.
