Four new public art pieces from diverse artists and an artist collective have been selected by the city to celebrate Burlington’s diverse communities.
Last spring, diverse artists were invited to submit their ideas to create installations in Burlington public spaces to celebrate Burlington’s diverse communities.
A total of $29,000 was offered for the projects.
