Public Art

Works of public art such as murals and sculpture can lend much appeal and add greatly to the comfort of the downtown environment. Important works of art can be a major tourism attraction. The Ottawa Visitor's Center through it's "a brush with history" mural program is charged with the administration of public art in C-4 and C-5 Zoning Classifications.

Guidelines:

  1. Public works of art in the area should be designed to be "important" by being monumental and executed by artists of prominence.

  2. Artwork should be proposed through the established non-partisan selection process established by the "a brush with history" Mural Committee.
