Placemaking and public art are intended to improve our public spaces, but often fall short on the collaborative part of the process. This website was created to offer a place for the public to join in the process, and possibly even change it.

Let’s turn the process inside out. Instead of asking you to volunteer to help create our vision, you can ask us to help create yours. We can help you find others to join in, we can help you form a committee, and we will help you through the process of your project.

The framed art on the side of Gallery 119 was accomplished by a handful of artists who started with an idea. The painted crosswalks in Pendleton were accomplished by a handful of children with an idea.

You can come up with your own idea, join a committee that interests you, or answer a request for submissions for art. This site is intended to be an invitation for the public to join in the process.

Imagine driving past a public art sculpture that you helped create… or could have.
