Description
Public Art is a grant program offered by the West Virginia Department of Arts Culture and History through its arts grants offerings. It supports schools, local governments, and 501(c)(3) organizations in creating and installing murals and sculptures. The program connects public artwork with two goals: beautifying West Virginia communities and increasing tourism.
Support covers both making the artwork and installing it, rather than creation alone. Murals and sculptures are the identified forms of supported work, with their contribution to community beautification and tourism central to the program’s purpose. Applicants can review the Public Art Guidelines and Sample Application before preparing a submission through GOapply.
