Our public art plan provides a vision for public art in Sherwood, mapping a way forward for neighborhoods, businesses, civic groups, and city staff to implement art in public spaces. Public art at its best invites fresh discovery, promotes meaningful connections, and adds to the livability and vibrancy of our city.
