Huntsville City Hall Public Art: Making art a part of everyday life

Since being elected to lead Huntsville in 2008, Mayor Tommy Battle and the City Council have staunchly supported the City’s flourishing artist community, from the paint-splattered workspaces of Lowe Mill to exhibits at the Huntsville Museum of Art. Since 2012, Mayor Battle and the City Council have also committed to enhancing our shared public spaces with works of public art.
Fortunately, there’s a plan guiding the master strokes - the City’s Public Art Master Plan (PAMP). A collaboration with Arts Huntsville, the PAMP enhances the City’s culture and ultimately attracts development opportunities. Huntsville was the first city in Alabama to enact such a plan.
One of the most significant initiatives to emerge from the PAMP was the commissioning of large-scale public art installations for the new Huntsville City Hall. Arts Huntsville issued a national Request for Qualifications in 2021, and projects were developed in accordance with the PAMP under the guidance of the Huntsville Public Art Committee and Arts Huntsville.
