Going Green with Public Art: Considering Environmental Standards in Public Art Policies
(2008-06) Bostwick, Elizabeth A.
This Master’s Project was conducted in partial fulfillment of a Master of Science Degree in Arts & Administration from the University of Oregon. The following document is a compilation of research conducted for this mixed methods study on how environmental sustainability could be considered by percent for art (public art) programs. Included are literature reviews of environmental sustainability, environmental sustainability as it relates to public art, public art policy, and environmental policy; data analysis across themes determined in the coding procedure of the study; findings drawn from the application of data to my research questions; recommendations for percent for art programs in addressing environmental issues in public art; and a greening guide for public art programs on how to address environmental sustainability in their processes. The intent for this research is to inspire dialogue on the relationship of public art to the natural environment and to encourage further study so that the field of public may lead the way in addressing environmental issues through its content and processes.
