In addition to publicly funded art projects, cities and counties across the United States and Canada are working with developers to include public art components in private development projects. Developers are finding that commissioning artwork is more than just good citizenship - it's good business.
In addition to enhancing the overall quality of a project and infusing it with character, on-site public art is proven to increase the value and marketability of the developer's property. Public art often becomes a "landmark," making a business notable amongst its competitors and enhancing its image, often more efficiently than a targeted marketing campaign.
