HELP US REIMAGINE NEWARK THROUGH PUBLIC ART!

The City of Newark Public Art Master Plan (the "Plan") was adopted by City Council in 2001.  It has been more that twenty years and the Plan is in need of an update.  The updating of the Plan will provide direction to City staff, local arts organizations, as well as guide the City Council in the planning and processes necessary to further develop, administer and maintain a vibrant and inspiring public art program in the City of Newark.

In November 2022, the City contracted with Gail M. Goldman M. Associates and Art Builds Community to assist with the update of the Plan.  In order to create and develop a successful plan, the City needs to capture feedback from the community.   The community engagement phase included a series of artist led pop-events, a survey and a traditional public meeting. Thank you to the community members that participated in a pop-up and/or survey. 

The draft plan will be presented to City Council is expected to be presented at a City Council meeting in fall 2023.
