Dataset Description
In collaboration with the NYC Department of Cultural Affairs (DCLA) Percent for Art Program, DOT commissions permanent art as part of the Percent for Art ordinance. DOT designates facilities such as: bridges, sidewalks, ferries, medians, plazas, etc. for permanent art as part of DOT capital construction projects. Project-specific selection panels review artists to develop proposals in collaboration with the project design team. DOT selects new sites each year and determines eligibility for permanent artwork.
