Public Art

The Bethlehem Fine Arts Commission has developed a process to ensure that public art projects — such as murals, sculptures, and installations — are developed with input from stakeholders, and are carried out with quality and responsibility.

We welcome projects that embrace inclusion and respect the City of Bethlehem’s past, present, and future.

Any artwork located within any of the City’s Historic Districts must adhere to City requirements and be approved by the respective District before receiving final approval to complete the project from the Fine Arts Commission. Buildings that have painted brick, stucco, or a masonry overlay on the original brick may be exempt from the Historic Review once the nature of the overlay is reviewed by the Public Art Committee.

The following Public Art Review Application Form addresses the scope of the work and identifies the person/entity responsible. It is to be completed and submitted to the Bethlehem Fine Arts Commission as soon as the Public Art Project is proposed and a reasonable time prior to the beginning of the project,

The checklist below should be completed for all artwork coming to the City of Bethlehem, PA including, but not limited to, donations, bequests, purchases, and commissions.
