Downey’s Art in Public Places Program
The goal of Downey’s Art in Public Places Program is to provide permanent, outdoor
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. Art in Public Places is dependent
on public-private cooperation between the City, artists, and the developer. All sculptures
are privately owned, and are designed to enhance property values, encourage pride in
ownership, and add value to the community. The Downey City Council adopted the original
Art in Public Places Policy Manual by Resolution No. 05-6882 on November 22, 2005. Since that time, it has been amended by the City Council by Resolution No. 06-6894. This Manual
describes the program policies, guidelines and application process.
