Summary/Abstract: This paper explores the development of the public art policies and legal and financial mechanisms in the domain. The research is conducted in a form of a comparative analysis of three dif- ferent public art policy approaches - the United States, France and the United Kingdom. In the text is presented the historical development of the 1% for art regulation from its origination in the early 1930s to the most recent time when this kind of regu- lation is usually maintained on the local or the regional level. Furthermore, modifications of the typical percent for art regula- tion introduced in recent times are also explored. Besides the 1% for art regulation, some other ways of supporting public art projects are analyzed. They could be classified in two groups: projects supported through the special public commission pro- grams and projects supported through the public-private part- nerships.
