Hi PAN,

Our local arts agency plans to embark on updating its guidelines for acquisition and selection of public art as well as develop a recommended long-range (3 to 5 years) spending plan for our 1% for Art in Public Places Fund later this year. I’m reaching out for examples of other cities’ acquisition guidelines. I also wonder if other communities have developed a long-range spending plan for their public art program? We are less concerned with developing a strategic plan with vision, goals, etc., as we are already working on some versions of that with the community. I’m mostly looking for a way to organize projects that the Arts Council has already loosely committee to but don’t have a specific timeline or priority level. Perhaps an annual workplan or something else like a one-page strategic plan approach?

Any guidance or examples you all can provide are greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
