A group of community leaders in Grand Forks, North Dakota are creating a public art program using the development of 42nd Street as a catalyst. The proposed commission of arts and culture, which includes representatives from the city’s Urban Development department, the Grand Forks Park District, North Valley Arts Council, North Dakota Museum of Art, the Chamber of Grand Forks and East Grand Forks, an architect, and three local artists, is looking into the long-term future to make polices for public art and to review current artworks located in public spaces. They will be using donations, applying for grants, and using the city beautification funds to develop the 42nd Street project.
