Under a new round of philanthropic funding, mayors can apply for up to $1 million for temporary public art projects that engage local artists, spur public-private partnerships, and inspire conversations around urban issues.
Now in its third iteration, the Bloomberg Philanthropies Public Art Challenge will award money to up to 10 winners for projects that address civic issues, such as climate change, gun violence, and neighborhood blight, according to Bloomberg Philanthropies.
