AIR
is a project of the City of Roanoke’s Percent for
Art Program, established to provide public art in city neighborhoods
and public places to reflect the community’s vibrancy
and heritage.
Since 2002 the City of Roanoke has designated 1 percent
of funds for certain capital projects to purchase or display
art in the city. The program is overseen by the 15-member
Council-appointed Roanoke Arts Commission. The public art
program is guided by Art
for Everyone (PDF), the city’s
first public art plan adopted by City Council in 2006.
This
is the second 18-month temporary installation in the AIR
program. For more information on the City of Roanoke's Public
Art Program, visit the links below, or pick up the Public
Art Catalog for a guide to the the City's collection of
nearly 100 works by many of the region's best artists.
