A five-year plan for public art in Phoenix was approved by the City Council last week and includes a project to help the public better understand efforts to help the environment.

Artists will be commissioned to produce artwork for billboards, books and Web-based media to "spark greater community awareness and thinking about sustainable approaches through the use of resources."

The resulting project, budgeted for $121,000, will be available online and through other media as part of the Public Works Department's educational programming at its facilities citywide.

Here is a roundup of other projects included in the 2012-17 plan:

Projects planned: WaterWorks | Avenida Rio Salado | Melrose Curve

Public art in place: 'Her Secret is Patience' | 'Curiouser and Curiouser'

'Art is a Guaranty of Sanity'
