Core Concept 1: Create "Transformative Destinations" Throughout Lakewood

What we heard...

There are many locations throughout Lakewood that would be ideal sites for new public art projects, from parks and trailheads to recreation centers and gateways. A desire exists to bring art to under-served areas (“art deserts”) and achieve a more balanced artistic landscape across Lakewood.

Key Plan Strategies

• Prioritize installation of artwork in “Art Deserts,” areas of the city where access to art is lacking.

• Invite and be open to one-of-a-kind opportunities for the city to introduce and integrate placemaking and art.
