Committee hears a slate of downtown public-art and placemaking projects tied to CDBG request
Summary
Staff described recent and proposed public art projects — 125th RP sculpture, utility box wraps, Bridal Alley murals, Freedman Alley proposals and a potential riverfront art walk — and asked for roughly $30,949 in CDBG funds to support several installations.
The committee heard an update on recent downtown public-art work and requests for additional CDBG support. The chair reviewed recent projects — the 125th RP sculpture, utility box wraps and 2025 Bridal Alley murals — and said the city is seeking funding for more murals and installations, including seven proposed murals in Freedman Alley and a potential art walk along Riverfront Street in downtown Waukesha.
Chair said public art funding requests total roughly $30,949 in the staff recommendation; staff noted these projects are tied to placemaking plans previously approved by Council. The committee was informed that completed art projects and utility wraps are expected to be installed or visible this summer.
