REVIEW OF THE JURY'S SELECTION
The jury's recommendation shall be transmitted to the Art in Public Panel in the form of a written report. The preparation of this report shall be facilitated by the Art
in Public Places Administrator. In reviewing the jury's recommendation the Art in
Public Places Panel and the Arts Commission shall take into account the Art in
Public Places Program's goal of developing a diverse collection, its commitment
to the jury process and the role of the Commission as a bridge between the arts
community and the City of Austin. These considerations should outweigh
individual aesthetic preferences in the Panel's and the Arts Commission's review
of the jury's selection.
- As stated in the Ordinance, it is the initial responsibility of
the Art in Public Places Panel to recommend the placement of
works of art and art projects. The Panel shall review the jury's
recommendation to determine if the process for selection was
properly implemented, if the jury responded appropriately to the
projects prospectus, and if the recommendation satisfies the
intent of the project. If the Panel determines that the procedure
for selection was improperly implemented, the Panel shall have
several options including returning the matter to the jury for
clarification, requesting that the jury recommend a different
artist, developing a new program or convening a new jury panel.
Prior to the Panel's recommendation being forwarded to Arts
Commission, the user and managing departments responsible
for housing the work shall be requested to view the proposal for
technical feasibility and maintenance expenses. In cases where
legitimate problems are demonstrated to the satisfaction of the
Art in Public Places Panel, the jury may be reconvened to select
an alternative work.
Once the jury's selection is approved by the Art in Public
Places Panel, it will be recommended to the Arts Commission
for a formal vote.
- The Arts Commission shall review the recommendation of the
Panel on the basis of procedural matters, to ensure that the
prospectus, as approved by the Commission, was appropriately
responded to through the selection process. In the event that the
Commission has questions regarding the selection process,
those questions shall be referred, in writing, back to the Panel
for clarification.
- The Arts Commission's recommendation shall be forwarded to
the City Council or the City Manager, as appropriate, in the
form of a proposed contract for the purchase or commission of a
work of art. The City Manager or City Council shall, in keeping
with the City Charter, determine if the proposed contract is
consistent with all relevant Ordinances and City purchasing
policies.
In the instance that the Arts Commission's
recommendation is disapproved, the matter shall be returned to the Arts
Commission for further review.
