RAMIREZ HERNANDEZ, Pedro. Public art. A public policy of the Government of Guadalajara, 2016-2018. Perf. latinoam. [online]. 2022, vol.30, n.60, 00015.  Epub May 31, 2024. ISSN 0188-7653.  https://doi.org/10.18504/pl3060-015-2022.

In setting a government agenda it is unlikely he accommodates cultural issues. When these are defined as problems that reach the first level of an agenda, they become precedents. This happened in the 2016-2018 administration of the Government of Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico, with the design and implementation of the “Public Art” policy. This essay seeks to discuss how the topic was defined as a relevant problem to be incorporated into the agenda. From the reflections generated, we ventured to provide a conclusion that specifies whether public policy is relevant, needs adjustments, or should be discarded.

Keywords : cultural policy; public policy; public art; art; government agenda; cultural management.
