The Point Public Art Plan

Salt Lake City, Utah

WHY

Creating a public art master plan is a deeply meaningful opportunity to reveal a place’s unique traits, treasures, and values. The Point, a once-in-a-century, 600-acre development project in Draper, Utah, is well on its way to becoming a place that defines the future for generations of Utahns to come. During the planning process, we continued to be inspired by The Point’s dedication to encouraging strategic growth, high quality of life, and opportunities for all Utahans, and we are honored to uplift the power of public art in creating a sense of place, fostering cultural connections, and igniting wonder and joy in achieving this vision.

HOW

The Designing Local team integrated public feedback into a master public art plan that creates a vibrant community experience throughout the site. The plan includes policies and procedures for the curation, placement, and installation of public art at The Point guided by the feedback and requests of Utahns. The Public Art Plan will bring unique character to The Point, attract and inspire residents and visitors, and advance the goals outlined in the overall development plan for the community.

WHAT

We believe that public art is a catalyst for finding common ground, understanding who Utahns are today, and reflecting on where Utah has been. Through this Public Art Master Plan, we can begin to envision how The Point will reflect the very best of Utah—its natural wonders, its authenticity, its untold stories, and yes, even its quirks (Jello salad, anyone?). Public art at The Point will not only enhance the experience of all The Point has to offer, but more importantly, it will reveal it.
