Abstract:

Few cities, usually the larger ones, make public art a budget priority. Hickory, perhaps the smallest city to do so, allocated $35,000 for the public art program's initial year. The city council has an ordinance under consideration to allocate one percent of capital improvement funds to pay for the program.
