Your City; Your Art

The City of Edina through its Public Art Committee is raising money for the arts. Giving to the “Your City, Your Art” fund is as simple as filling in an online form with the amount you'd like to contribute.

Your donation will be automatically added to subsequent utility bills, and will continue to be charged on your utility bills until the City is notified that you no longer wish to participate in the program.

The Public Art Committee hopes to raise approximately $20,000 per year through the new program. Work has already begun on a stained glass project for City Hall, and other possible public art projects identified by the Public Art Committee include sculptures for City Hall and parks such as Grandview Square.

Other reasons to fund the “Your City, Your Art” program include:

• The arts strengthen communities.
• The arts facilitate a free exchange of ideas, thoughts and experiences.
• Children who participate in arts programs are more likely to succeed in school.
• A strong arts community benefits the local economy.
• The arts provide new opportunities and activities for the community.
• The arts spark creativity and learning.
