tag (Kamin, 2005). Millenium Park is also seen as a success in economic development.An Economic <br /> Impact Study delivered to the City of Chicago in 2005 estimated that Millennium Park would create <br /> $240.2 million in tax revenues from 2005-2015, and 740—1,070 full time equivalent jobs over the same <br /> time period (Goodman Williams Group, 2005).Additionally, the publication Arts and the Economy: Using <br /> Arts and Culture to Stimulate State Economic Development by the National Governors Association <br /> concludes that "states can use the arts to boost their economies in a variety of ways, from incorporating <br /> arts into economic development and community development plans to supporting arts education and <br /> promoting arts assets as boosts to cultural tourism (Hayter and Pierce, 2009, p.33)." Other goals include <br /> promoting a sense of community through public art, making a local area a cultural destination, and <br /> illuminating the historical significance of a community.The common practice for this component is goal <br /> identification by a broad coalition of community leaders as outlined in the plan development process. <br /> The relevant literature mentioned above recommends that specific attention be given to the arts role in <br /> placemaking, economic development, tourism, and quality of life. <br /> Integration with other planning <br /> Integration with other planning and capital projects was found in seven of ten public art master <br /> plans. Pollock and Paddison (2010) argue that embedding public art and artist participation into the <br /> planning process in a city strengthens the practice. Integration is also logical, as the majority of public <br /> art programs are funded through a percentage of capital expenditures, or percent-for-art program <br /> (Americans for the Arts, 2003).Thus, including the public art planning process in capital project <br /> management would be necessary.The common practice for this component is to explore the <br /> connections between capital improvements, city planning, public/private partnerships, and other <br /> municipal government activities,to find opportunities for integration of public art into these processes. <br /> 20 <br />
