Since 2021, Weiss has led Boynton Beach’s Art in Public Places program, funded by a city ordinance that requires developers to put public art on new properties or pay a fee of 1% of the construction value. The city uses the money collected to fund public art elsewhere. Florida is one of only three states, along with California and Arizona, that allows municipalities to make laws requiring public art in new developments, Weiss said.
Glenn Weiss is the public art manager in Boynton Beach, FL, a city whose biggest art event, the Kinetic Biennial, celebrates artwork in motion.
