Program context & project planning

How the program works

Development contributions can support onsite or county art

Arlington’s developer guidance describes public art as a negotiated community benefit within the site-plan process. Developers can commission art within their development or contribute to the Public Art Fund for county projects on public property. The page provides distinct resources for onsite works and fund contributions. For planning, determine which route the development is taking before defining an artist scope; paying into a public fund and commissioning a work at the project site create different relationships, deliverables and responsibilities.
