Public Art

The Petoskey CIty Council finds that public art advances the interests of Petoskey and enriches the cultural and aesthetic quality of life in our community by:

• Contributing to the general welfare by providing access to cultural resources that engage and inspire the mind and senses.
• Stimulating community dialogue between people of all ages by challenging familiar experience.
• Increasing the city’s desirability by enlivening the appearance and appeal of public spaces, creating a more culturally driven environment while celebrating our rich historical heritage.
• Aiding in the enhancement of property values and promoting economic growth.

The 2021 Livable Petoskey Master Plan prioritizes the Community - Recreation, Arts, and Cultural Opportunities and includes the following Goals, Strategies and Actions:

• Lifelong arts and culture learning opportunities are provided for residents of all ages and incomes.
• Art in public places enriches the entire community
• The Petoskey region is recognized as a destination for its cultural richness
• Identify locations and funding for public art throughout the community.
