We contract for consulting on new mural public art projects, for the mural conservation treatments, their maintenance services (incl graffiti removal issues) and other art related matters.
2024 Cities working with us to develop public art maintenance schedules are Pomona, CA, and Salt Lake City, UT. Pomona has had FACL do a survey/assessment of their outdoor public art of most interest and is in the funding phase. The City of Salt Lake has the funding and is anxious to implement the customized plan FACL developed with the Executive Director for works of art that hang mostly within the huge historic pioneer city hall… but that plan will expand to art in other city offices and oversee the maintenance of outdoor public art.
