Percent for Art Program
The City of Corpus Christi is dedicated to expanding opportunities to experience art in public places and to promote tourism and economic vitality by improving the aesthetic quality of public spaces. In 1987, Corpus Christi became one of the first Texas cities to enact the ‘Percent for Art Program’ which incorporates artwork in the design of its civic spaces and capital projects. Corpus Christi strives to acquire quality works of art in a variety of artistic styles.
