perhaps an audio tour of the public art collection and map may be a good
cultural offering.

the Welcome Centers which can be utilized for cultural experiences. She also
discusses the importance of embracing and supporting the artists and
craftsmen/creators in the community.

be helpful for promoting AIPP programs, as well as looking into QR codes and
researching where public art lands in general internet searches.
