Prior to the plan’s enactment in 2018, Lewisville public art was fairly minimal apart from a few private murals and pieces at the library, Kunke said. The master plan provided a process for city o cials to implement this vision in conjunction with the Arts Advisory Board. Operating from the Lewisville Grand Theater, the city board recommends various actions on public art commissions. Around 90% of the completed art projects in the city occurred after adopting the plan, Kunke said. This year, City Council approved a $320,000 sculpture for the new Tittle McFadden Public Safety Center and $80,000 for a glass sculpture that will adorn a column at the Lewisville Public Library. “The growth of the program has expanded and evolved out into the community in projects like the painted crosswalks and tra c signal boxes,” board vice chair Michael Gortz said. The city has spent between $1 million-$2 million on public art since 2018, mostly funded through hotel occupancy taxes and some donations, Kunke said.
