Thunder Bay’s Public Art Committee has been busy since their last update to local lawmakers.
Spokesperson Daniel Hansen says they’ve created a site selection tool that considers how much artwork should cost and where it should be located.
“Using this tool the committee has already earmarked a number of sites around the City that would be suitable for public art installations.”
It takes into account criteria “such as access to city services for instance an installation may require water or electricity, how the site alligns with existing city plans, potential safety or vandalism risks, and the opportunity for community support.”
Hansen says the tool also helps the city budget for the art project. (File photo)
