I think that the percent-for-art ordinance is awesome! I'm such a huge fan of public art! I just love turning the corner in the middle of a business district and having a sculpture jump out at me. It completely changes the atmoshphere of a place. Downtown Everett used to be pretty bland, and not a very desirable place, but within the last couple years they have started putting a lot more public art out, and it has completely changed my perception of the city. (Everett also has a percent-for-arts ordinance in place).
I was pretty excited to read that Artist Trust also supports arts students through scholarships! Definately must research that more!
I was a little dissapointed with the ArtsFund article, because I feel like I don't have as good of a sense of what that orginization is all about, and the article focused mostly on the CEO.
