City council has voted to conduct a review of Calgary's public art policy.

As the policy currently stands, one per cent of the value of a capital project must be set aside for public art.

A motion passed by council Monday calls for a review of the policy, with a close look at different levels of funding and greater public involvement in art projects.

Only Couns. Brian Pincott and Andre Chabot opposed the call for a review. The results of the review must come back to city council no later than next May.

The decision comes after Mayor Naheed Nenshi called a piece of public art put up this year "awful."

Travelling Light is a large blue metal hoop with street lights on top of it located in the northeast on the new 96th Avenue bridge near Deerfoot Trail.

Nenshi said the $470,000 project was commissioned before he became mayor.
