Summary
The Fiscal Year 2025-30 Public Art Plan includes funding for artwork located at Lone Mountain Park, currently under construction, located at 56th Street and Montgomery Road (56th Street south of Lone Mountain Road).
The original contract for the Lone Mountain Park Public Art Project was approved in the amount of $450,000 by the Phoenix Arts and Culture Commission on January 9, 2024, and by the City Council on March 6, 2024 (Ordinance S-50641).
