For over 20 years, Coral Springs’ Public Art Program has enriched the lives of residents through the display of fine artwork and implementation of public art programs. This Memorial Day, the Public Art Program will reveal up to four large public artworks which celebrates both our country’s history, as well as the values and mission of Coral Springs.
This public artwork will remain on display until May of 2027, and serve as a visual representation of not only our collective history as a country, but also our goals for the future. The Public Art Committee may select one artwork or a series to purchase for a total value of $55,000 or less.
It is imperative the artwork is installed by April 30, 2026. Proposals and contracts will not be approved if the artist is unable to install the work by due date.
