  1. What is Public Art? Public Art is art developed through a community input process paid for by public dollars and often located on public property. Public Art is created by PROFESSIONAL ARTISTS and reflects the social, historical and environmental assets of place.

Percent for Art Fund Restrictions CANNOT: • Fund way-finding or signage • Fund items that are mass produced (benches, fountains) • Fund temporary work MUST: • Be sited on Metro property • Be approved by site sponsor (Metro Dept) and Commission • Must follow Public Art process defined by Percent Ordinance

  4. Who Decides What the Art Looks Like? • Site location sponsor identifies type (interior/exterior/2D or 3D) of work that is most suitable to location • Citizens in public meetings frame what the inspiration and theme of the work should be (history/environment/other) • Staff draft a “call for artists” • Artists respond to the themes and ideas chosen by citizens and produce a unique concept proposal • Citizens serve on a selection panel and review artist submissions and recommend artist finalists • Metro Arts Commission approves recommendation and issues a contract for the winning artist idea/concept • The artist fabricates their work based on the concept
