Art in Public Places
The City of Burbank’s Art in Public Places Program was established in 1992 and requires 1% of major construction project costs be allocated towards on-site art or to a public art fund. This program has made it possible for recognized artists to enhance public spaces throughout the City with sculpture, murals, and environs. To date, there are over 130 Art in Public Places art pieces in Burbank.

This project is part of the City’s Art in Public Places Program. Founded in 1992, the Program requires new development projects exceeding a construction budget of $500,000 to contribute 1% of construction costs toward qualified on-site public art. Alternatively, developers may elect to contribute their art obligation to the City’s Art in Public Places Fund. These non-taxpayer dollars are used to fund, enhance, and maintain art in public spaces. The Johnny Carson Park Shade Structure Public Art Project represents a significant investment in the beautification of Burbank's parks and the enrichment of its community through the introduction of public art.
