Public Art Master Plan
JCPRD is preparing for the future with the development of a new Public Art Master Plan which will guide the new Public Art Program’s vision for public art in JCPRD parks, greenways and facilities for the next five years.
The planning process relies on broad community input, which will be gained through county-wide questionnaires, roundtable discussions, community events, and more. Stay tuned through this website, Facebook, Instagram and/or Twitter to learn about opportunities to participate.

JCPRD is working with Via Partnership and SWT Design to guide the planning process. Via Partnership is a public art consulting firm with more than 20 years of experience working with communities across North America to develop innovative and successful public art plans and strategies. SWT Design is an integrated landscape architecture based and recently worked with JCPRD to develop its forward-looking Legacy Plan.
The public art master planning process is being guided by a 15-member Core Team, comprised of residents of Johnson County and local stakeholders, including members the JRPRD Public Art Committee, local artists, arts administrators, and community leaders.
The Meadowbrook Car Show and Cocktail Event
The Meadowbrook Car Show and the Cocktail Event was a benefit in support of the Kansas City Auto Museum and the Parks and Recreation Foundation of Johnson County. This event included a cocktail event and an inaugural car show at Meadowbrook Park which featured 100 cars. Over $11,700 was raised to support the new Public Art Program of Johnson County Park and Recreation District. We also enjoyed hearing from the community about public art and what they would like to see in the future. A big thank you to Marcianne Wagner-Heaton, our chalk artist who engaged lots of little ones in this beautiful art!
