<p>The Public Art League is an Illinois not-for-profit organization with a mission to promote creativity and improve our community's aesthetic by cultivating awareness and appreciation for public art. We focus our efforts on installing sculptures in public spaces with the goal of creating a permanent collection in our community. <br> <br> Every year we conduct a national call to artists requesting sculpture entries, from which a jury panel selects sculptures for potential installation. We then conduct a fund-raising campaign to match sculpture locations with sponsors. When sufficient funds have been raised either through individual donations or through a sponsorship, the Public Art League enters a two-year lease contract with the artist. Each of these works is also available for purchase through our organization.</p>
