In July 2022 the Public Arts Task Force presented a final report for public art recommendations to the City of Shawnee governing body. A key recommendation was the formation of a local arts organization to help shape public art policy. Details of the ideas generated by Shawnee Kansas citizens and business owners can be found here.
This final report along with responses from our public art survey serve as the foundation for our organizational short-term and long-range plans.
We're actively surveying the community to collect ideas for future projects or improvements. Included in this survey are questions to gauge how public art is perceived and defined. This information will be used to shape future initiatives and advocacy efforts.
