Maui Public Art Corps is currently working on a public art master plan that is focused on the County of Maui’s unique cultures, resources, needs and desires; and will join the ranks of 350 public art programs that have been developed nationwide.

Funded through a grant award by the National Endowment for the Arts, the plan will provide a framework for the development and acquisition of public art, participation in the selection process, areas of opportunity, maintenance and conservation, and recommendations for the future.

Maui County residents are invited to share their feedback via this survey. Hard copies are also available while supplies last. The survey takes approximately 12 minutes to complete, and will close on May 12, 2023.
