Orange Countv Percent for Art Program Overview ~°2 <br />Direct Economic Impact of Public Art: Design fees paid to artists/artist teams, materials, <br />fees for local site preparation, fabrication of the art work, installation, labor, etc. <br />Indirect Economic Impact of Public Art: Tax revenues generated from the above <br />transactions, wages paid by businesses where the purchase was made, artists' meals, <br />artists' lodging, artists' transportation, other purchases made in area businesses, etc. <br />Public Art stimulates tourism, <br />which can positively affect earned income <br />for area businesses as well as tax revenues. <br />Proposed Orange Countv Percent for Art Program <br />• A Public Art program makes art accessible and visible throughout our county. It <br />brings art into everyday life. Public sites provide an important venue for Orange <br />County residents and visitors to appreciate artwork outside the traditional museum <br />or gallery setting. <br />• Public Art enriches neighborhoods and communities with unique and welcoming <br />facilities. It serves as an expression of the community, as well as a landmark. It <br />helps to define the county's identity and sense of place. <br />• Public Art promotes social interaction'and discourse and teaches us about each <br />other. <br />• Public Art promotes creative collaborations. <br />• Public Art can memorialize the past as well as express shared values for the future. <br />All great civilizations are recognized by the presence of public art. <br />• Public Art projects demonstrate how art that is integrated into its site enhances civic <br />architecture and a wide range of public spaces. <br />• The Orange County of Town of Chapel Hill established a Percent for Art <br />Ordinance in 2002. This ordinance allocates 1 % of selected capital projects for the <br />creation, fabrication/construction, installation, and maintenance of permanent works <br />of public art. Funding comes from each project's construction budget, which <br />can include Federal, State, County, Town and private support. <br />The MOST EFFECTIVE way to CONSISTENTLY support public 'art <br />and design is through a Percent for Art Ordinance. <br />In the ABSENCE of legislation, <br />support for public art in governmental facilities <br />is a HIT OR MISS proposition. <br />
