Purpose:

The City of Bellaire recognizes that public art is one important element required to create and maintain a vibrant and dynamic community. Sustaining the intrinsic value of this “City of Homes” must extend beyond infrastructure repairs and providing vital city services. Public art will enhance Bellaire’s identity and sense of community and uniquely differentiate Bellaire from other communities. The purpose of this pilot project is to celebrate two key entry points to the city along Bellaire Boulevard with public art that reflects Bellaire’s community values, builds neighborhood pride, and unifies two halves of a community divided by a major freeway.
