Madison Public Market Art Projects Take Shape


A Cap Times article dated October 17, 2024 highlights the various public art projects occurring at the Madison Public Market. In late September, the Common Council was presented with a mockup of 10 public artworks destined for the Madison Public Market. The Council approved the artwork, allowing for installation to proceed. As described in the article, the market, which is slated for a July 1, 2025 opening, will host a mix of publicly funded art made possible by public and private donations. Funding sources are: $56,000 is the Percent for Art allocation for the project (1% of city funds committed to any capital project exceeding $5 million); $140,000 from the Madison Arts Commission; $40,000 from the Madison Community Foundation; and $50,000 from the Hoke Family Foundation.

I’m excited to have a place where people can share their passions and different cultures. The Madison Public Market has 30 participants in the MarketReady Program, 83% are people of color and 63% are women. This is truly exciting! To have a place where people can come together to shop, eat and just hang out but also to develop community, build relationships and grow. This is very exciting for the people who live here and for the people who will come visit Madison. - Alice Choi, Hip Foodie Mom
