Service Description: About the Newark Public Art Inventory and GIS Story Map ProjectPublic art is free, accessible to all people, and has the potential to visually connect civic spaces, promote walkable communities, and create a sense of place. Art in public spaces can allow for the discovery and a celebration of artists. It has the potential to enhance cultural identity by chronicling the historical roots of a community.Both Newark and the University of Delaware (UD) campus boast an impressive display of art. Prominent exhibits include a series of downtown murals commissioned as part of a City of Newark beautification project, a collection of sculptures by beloved local artist Charles C. Parks, and the symbolic "Wings of Thought" sculpture that serves as the focal point of UD's Mentors' Circle. Yet, in many instances, public art blends into the environment and goes virtually unnoticed.Research through Community EngagementTo identify and map locations of existing art, UD's Institute for Public Administration (IPA) conducted an inventory of public art in Newark and UD campus art. The project is supported by small grants from UD’s Partnership for Arts & Culture (PAC). For the purpose of the project, public art is defined as a "permanent installation of artwork that is located indoors or outdoors and is visually, physically, and freely accessible to the public at least eight hours per day."Newark and UD community members were invited to discover, pinpoint locations, and photograph art by using a web-based survey application (app), Survey123 for ArcGIS. Using a QR code or link to access the survey, participants could snap a picture, "geo-tag" the location, describe the art, and submit the entry. UD IPA public administration fellows Allison Michalowski and Jillian Cullen were instrumental in collecting the bulk of data and photos throughout the City of Newark and UD’s campus.A Geographic Exploration of Public ArtThis interactive Newark Public Art GIS Story Map was created by UD IPA public administration fellow Allison Michalowski using data using generated from the web-based survey app. It enables residents, visitors, and the UD community to virtually discover the murals, sculptures, paintings, and other art that commemorate Newark's heritage and cultural roots. Viewers can navigate individual tabs to view a combination of campus art and public art in the “All Newark Art” tab, public art within the City's corporate limits in the "City of Newark Public Art" tab, and art on the University of Delaware campus in the "UD Campus Art" tab. The “museum” symbol on the map represents on-campus locations of art galleries overseen by UD’s Special Collections and Museums. Class visits and tours are available by appointment for UD faculty, staff, students, and members of the public. In addition, Data will be uploaded to FirstMap, Delaware's centralized repository for geospatial data layers will support sharing of the dataset.
