This record comes from the Arts & Science Council’s public art register, which is the authority for what is installed and who owns it. The register does not say whether a work is currently on display, and interior works may not be publicly viewable.

Part of the collection at Clifton E. Johnson Building

The register records 3 works at Clifton E. Johnson Building. See all of them.

Why these exist

Charlotte City Code Chapter 15, Article IX — Ordinance No. 2308, adopted 27 May 2003 — sets aside one percent of the cost of eligible city capital projects for public art, with exclusions and a threshold below which it does not apply. Transit art runs separately, to the Metropolitan Transit Commission’s own guidelines. Title in the artwork vests in the city, and the ordinance sets out a removal procedure in which the city’s decision is final. That is why so much of the work here is publicly owned, and why so much of it is attached to a building or a station rather than standing in a park.
