The Public Art Plan outlines goals and objectives for the public art program based on themes that emerged from public input collected through community outreach activities. This participatory approach to the planning process is a first step in developing a connection between the citizens of Dania Beach and the public art program, and lays the groundwork for giving the entire community access to the arts.
The Plan emphasizes best practices in the selection of public art. Generally, the most successful public artworks are memorable and unique to the location. Public art will reflect the contemporary character, cultural diversity, and history of the City.
Implementation of the Public Art Plan will result in the establishment of creative gathering spaces, enhanced City buildings that reflect the City’s people and cultures, and will provide access to the arts in all sectors of the City. The development of an art collection ensures that community aesthetics are considered as new development transforms the built environment. The addition of public art to City locations will ensure that residents continue to be proud of not only the history and setting of Dania Beach, but also its aesthetics and creative vitality.
