Introduced in 2023, the Public Art Act of Erie County provides a funding for public art related to certain Erie County capital construction projects. Depending on the size and type of the project, Erie County allocates 1% of the cost of a building construction project (up to a maximum of $10,000 allocated) for the acquisition, maintenance, and management of public art.
The Erie County Arts in Public Places Committee (EACAB) supports the program, and is comprised of five local volunteers who are experts in the fields of art, art history, architecture, or architectural history. The Committee commissions, selects, places, and preserves works of art in a variety of media.
