The Art of Public Art

This article describes various approaches being used to fund public art in North Carolina following the demise of the state's Art Works for State Buildings program. It also describes a wide range of completed projects, from the spectacular (a sound/light/water display at East Carolina University and a neon sculpture at the Eastern North Carolina School for the Deaf) to the commonplace by classy (for example, murals, hand-carved tile panels, and an elaborate landscaping project).
