Public art creates livable cities. It enhances neighborhood identity. It strengthens economic development and tourism, and enriches the education and enjoyment of residents. ASC Public Art, Inc., is committed to expanding opportunities for its citizens to experience public art while attracting local, regional and national artists to build on Charlotte's collection of public art.

Since 1993, ASC Public Art has managed the 1% program for Public Art for the City of Charlotte and Mecklenburg County and has developed partnerships with public agencies, private corporations and citizen's groups to provide artist selection and project management.

During 2003, Mecklenburg County Board of Commissioners and the Charlotte City Council adopted ordinances that appropriate 1% of eligible capital improvement project funds for public art. This will ensure that artworks enhance our public spaces and become an integral part of urban and economic development efforts.
