Association for Public Art

Established in 1872 in Philadelphia, the Association for Public Art (formerly the Fairmount Park Art Association) is the nation's first private, nonprofit public art organization dedicated to integrating public art and urban planning.〔Fairmount Park, and other organizations and agencies responsible for placing and caring for outdoor sculpture in Philadelphia〔(【引用サイトリンク】 MWW Launch Press Release )〕 - and maintains an inventory of all of the city's public art.〔(Institutional Networks Serving Artists )〕
==History==

Chartered by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in 1872, the Fairmount Park Art Association (now the Association for Public Art) was founded by a group of concerned citizens in the late nineteenth century who wanted to beautify Philadelphia's urban landscape with public art to counter the city's encroaching industrialism. The Association initially focused on enhancing Fairmount Park with outdoor sculpture, but the organization's mission expanded in 1906 to include the rest of the city as a whole: to "promote and foster the beautiful in Philadelphia, in its architecture, improvements, and the city plan." Friends Charles H. Howell and Henry K. Fox conceived of the Fairmount Park Art Association, and the organization's first president was Anthony J. Drexel, founder of Drexel University.〔 The Association's first official venture was purchasing ''Hudson Bay Wolves Quarreling Over the Carcass of a Deer'' (1872) by Edward Kemeys, and its first major undertaking was commissioning Alexander Milne Calder for an equestrian statue of Major General George Meade in 1873.
