Prince Edward County Council has approved a new public art policy.
The approval came during Tuesday’s regular council meeting, where councillors discussed the new policy as presented by staff.
The policy was developed in partnership with County Arts, and governs the review, acquisition, and management of public art in municipally-owned spaces, along with the exterior of buildings in heritage conservation districts.
The policy outlines the process for proposing new art, guidelines on what art is appropriate for public display, and a $30,000 fund for new public art in the municipality.
The same motion rescinded a moratorium on new public art installations that had been put in place in October 2024, when the process to update the policy began.
The new policy was passed after brief debate.
