On November 22, 2005, the City Council adopted the original Art in Public Places Program. The goal of Downey's Art in Public Places Program is to provide original artworks that are easily accessible to the general public throughout the City. The Art in Public Places Program is designed to offer a wide range of artistic styles, themes, and media, all of outstanding quality. The unique variety of artistic styles is chosen to provoke discussion and encourage comment. The program is dependent on public -private cooperation between the City, artists, and developers. The program also provides the City Council with the flexibility to initiate public art projects on City -owned property and to provide for faces where public art is displayed. City staff has been working with Council Members of the Downtown Subcommittee regarding various art installations in the Downtown. Staff and the Council Members agreed upon the creation of an "Art Plaza" at the southwest corner of Downey Avenue and 2nd Street as depicted on the attached plans and material concepts (Attachments A and B). The Art Plaza will host outdoor furniture and a pre -approved art piece. The Art Plaza has been designed in partnership with Gywnne Pugh Urban Studio, and the art piece with the National Sculptor's Guild.
