Artworks on display are eligible for the $1000 Jean Mellblom People's Choice Award. More information and the application can be found at www.cityoflafayette.com/CFA

Each selected sculpture will receive a QR code linking to the City’s website where information about the artwork and the artist will be available. Through the website people will be able to access information about the sculptures, artists’ statements, a teacher’s curriculum packet and other activities. Lafayette’s 2014 Art on the Street program also included interactive components to encourage community engagement. The 2014 Art on the Street: See & Respond! Show included 2-D Art and Poetry.
