Collection Policies Work with executive leadership, the public art program, the civic art collection team and Commissioners to develop new collection policies. What are the goals and purposes of the collection? Why does the Arts Commission have a collection and what is the unique character of this collection. How can the arts commission better accomplish it’s mission of integrating arts into every facet of SF live through the collection? How do we determine what artists/objects to include? How do we balance purchasing with commissioning? Should we raise funds for purchasing objects? What responsibilities come with ownership. What are the possibilities for the relationship between the Collection, Public Art and the Gallery, and other Commission programs? De-accessioning Policies. How do we determine what should be deaccessioned. What is a realistic time frame for deaccessioning items? Can we deaccession to fund a maintenance fund? Rewrite legislation to access Hotel Tax funds for the maintenance of the collection? Strategic Plan Develop a plan to implement these new policies.
