South Portland will add new public art along the Greenbelt Walkway and is issuing a call for artists. (Shawn Patrick Ouellette/Staff Photographer)“I really hope that the Greenbelt becomes known as an art walk that hopefully attracts people to come here,” said James LaPlante, the chair of the public art committee. With smaller surfaces, the city can provide public art at a more reasonable cost. “There’s so much ambitious public art that we’d like to do that’s just totally impossible, given the current financial reality,” DeVoll said. “We want to put public art where we know the people are,” DeVoll said.
