EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The City of Oshkosh has developed this Public Arts and Beautification Strategic Plan to develop strategies
for improving cultural and aesthetic opportunities throughout the city. Oversight of this project has been
provided by the Public Arts and Beautification Committee, an appointed group of volunteer residents, and
representatives from various organizations and city departments. The committee members were responsible
for providing direction and review of plan components. The planning process also included multiple public
meetings and public hearings as well as a community-wide survey.
The City of Oshkosh has shown initiative towards improving cultural and beautification amenities in the city
that last decades. The 2000 Downtown Plan and the 2017 Imagine Oshkosh A Master Plan for our Center City
strive to increase investment in the center city. In August of 2016, Common Council established a Public Arts
and Beautification Committee to help direct efforts towards improving the arts and aesthetics in the city. Our
city leaders understand that a sizeable amount of art and cultural opportunities can be a good indicator of a
thriving community. The City of Oshkosh is the 8th largest city in the state of Wisconsin and has a rich history
rooted in community involvement and social connections. The Public Arts and Beautification Committee
would like to tap into the advantages of living in a midsized city focusing on artistic cultural and visual
improvements.
This strategic plan is the result of many different project ideas originating from residents and is an effort to
strategize the potential of art and beautification opportunities. The goal of the plan is to enhance community
character and economic growth. While it is challenging to make sure that everyone agrees on art based
projects, this plan strives to provide a framework for projects that will be appropriate for the Oshkosh
community.
The plan begins with an introduction which outlines the vision and goals. Next, additional information about
the plan and study area are provided. The introduction includes a brief review of the purpose and reason for a
strategic plan and the introduction is concluded with a record of public engagement methods used during the
planning process. Section two provides an inventory on what the community currently has related to public
art and beautification leading to the creation a map indicating the location of all public art in the city. Section
three provides reccomendations for public and private property, concluding with an action plan for the Public
Arts and Beautification Committee to work on. Section four provides a more detailed explaination about the
role of various groups working towards implementing this plan. The Public Arts and Beautification Strategic
Plan will be implemented by the Oshkosh Public Arts and Beautification Committee with support from
Common Council and interdepartmental city staff.

1.4 WHY IS THIS PLAN IMPORTANT?
TOOLS FOR INFORMED DECISIONS
The plan provides guided strategies based on staff and community
recommendations.
CONSISTENCY IN DECISION MAKING
The plan reinforces decisions and serves as a consistent reference point for public art
and beautification projects.
ENHANCE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT EFFORTS
The plan is a complimentary addition to existing economic development efforts. It
encourages visual and cultural diversity within the community to attract new growth and
development.
*working on more research
1.2 PLAN BACKGROUND
In the past, plans have been developed that involve the concept of visual placemaking and public art, however,
much of the planning is limited to sub-areas of the city. This could create a disconnect between plans, the city
recognizes the potential disconnect and decided to pursue a city-wide strategic plan to acheive consistency.
The intent of the plan is to provide residents and decision makers with strategies to improve the access to
cultural and artistic amenities. The goal is to connect various groups who are already working towards similar
outcomes. Implementation of the plan will encourage investment in the arts and help create a unique sense of
place in the community.
1.3 STUDY AREA
The study area for this project was defined as the urban city proper of Oshkosh, WI. The reccommendations
are intented for properties located within the city boundary, though collaboration with other jurisdictions such
as Winnbeago County, Town of Algoma, Town of Oshkosh, Department of Natural Resources or Winnebago
County Highway Deparmtent may be nessecary.
1.5 PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT
Development of this plan was administered by city planning staff with oversight from the
Public Arts and Beautification Committee. They provided guidance and met regularly
over a 24 month time period to review the plan progress. The process included monthly
meetings, discussions and comments from committee members and special guests.
Public visioning sessions were held in order to include the public in the planning process
as well as create strategies based on their input.
Public Art and Beautification Committee Meetings
The early development of this strategic plan began with the formation of the Public
Arts and Beautification Committee. Committee member represent a diverse group of
stakeholders including artists, community leaders, educators and city representatives.
The committee was responsible for oversight of the plan review and development. They
met monthly over 24 months and create the draft plan from beginning to finalization
with the support of Planning Division staff. The committee will continue to meeting
monthly to secure the implementation priorities in the plan.
Project Website
The project website, which was hosted by City of Oshkosh.com/plan, served as the
central place to sharing information about the stategic planning process and public
engagement opportunities. The website was updated regularly with information about
the planning process for residents.
Survey
A public survey was distributed in order to gather a wide range of public feedback to
be used in the creation of the stategic plan. The survey was distributed online and was
available in paper format upon request. Information about the survey was posted on
the project website, social media and email notification. Survey results are included in
the appendix.

John Hicks Trust Fund
John Hicks, (1847 - 1917), was owner and publisher of the Oshkosh’s Daily Northwestern newspaper and
owner of Hicks Printing Company. A member of the board of the Oshkosh Public Library from its establishment
in 1895, he an active interest in plans for the new library building in 1899. He was one of the subscribers to
the fund that commissioned busts of library benefactors Marshal Harris and Senator Philetus Sawyer from
sculptor Preston Powers. He donated marble busts of George Washington by Hiram Powers and Benjamin
Franklin, by Preston Powers, to the library in 1902.
Hicks’ first individually commissioned project was Soldiers’ Monument. It was given in memory of Hicks’s
father, a member of Company E of the 32nd Wisconsin Infrantry. Hicks commissioned his next original works
from Trentanove. The bronze statue of Chief Oshkosh, the Menominee leader for whom the city is named,
dates from 1911. He turned to Trentanove again for a pair of bronze lions placed at the original entrance to
the Oshkosh Public Library in 1912. Hicks gave the city a bronze replica of Jean Houdon’s statue of George
Washington. He commissioned a bronze statue of Carl Schurz by Karl Bitter of New York, and acquired the
Lincoln, Washington, Jefferson, Franklin and Longfellow busts that graced the Oshkosh Public schools bearing
their names for many years. The Lincoln bust was moved to the Oshkosh Public Musuem grounds in 2017.
When the forsighted Hicks died in 1917, he left a trust fund of $25,000 for “the purchase and erection of
statues, busts and monuments in the parks and streets of the City of Oshkosh, and the repair of such as are
now in existence or may hereafter be erected” and for “the purchase of books, pictures, maps, drawings and
works of art to be placed in the High School and ward schools of the City of Oshkosh. This is not to include any
apparatus of any kind, or equipment for sports or amusements.” The fund was to be managed by and under
the control of the Board of Directors of the Oshkosh Public Library. The Library Board continues to carry that
responsibilty.
“Buildings may be detroyed. The city hall or High school may burn and the cornerstone may be removed, but
that monument may stand there for no one knows how long...”
