Hello City Commissioners,
I am writing in support of the city’s adoption of the Percent for Art Program. While our
community grows its infrastructure, it’s imperative to not loose sight of the inclusion of publicart within that growth model. The Percent for Art Program is a necessary seed to help further
develop our community’s identity during a time where Bozeman is redefining itself. Nurturingwhat makes our community beautiful will help bolster a sense of place for our residents while
entertaining our visitors. Commercial businesses near art installations will benefit as they willbe perceived as placemaking environments where people want to gather and dwell. The
collaborative effort by the city with its residents and business owners in producing meaningfulattractions will benefit all parties involved. The Percent for Art Program is a fundamentally
solid investment, I hope you will understand its value and vote for its inclusion in our city’scapitol improvements fund.
Thank you,
Benjamin Bennett, Principal
