• Adds public art to one or more identified “public art deserts”, areas where residents do not have access to public art within one mile
• Commissions new public art by women or femme-identifying, BIPOC, and/or LGBTQIA+ artists, who are not represented in the current public art landscape proportional to their population in Marion County
• Commissions the original artist to repair or refurbish damaged public art identified in the Marion County Public Art Census as in “fair” or “poor” condition
• Takes on long-term responsibility for maintaining and activating important public art that is in “good” or “excellent” condition
• Other projects that work to improve equity in public art, as defined by the applicant
