Ideals
Art images that illustrate symbols of liberty and justice can communicate to visitors that a facility holds great importance to these ideals.

Images of architectural details typically found on federal or government buildings or photographs of well known federal/government buildings can be used in local offices to reinforce important connections between offices.
Community
Art programs can be used to illustrate a sense of community. Using art by local artists, or images of local landscapes can help a facility establish that it is a local office serving the community.
