We make that decision on a project-by-project basis according to many factors including community desire.  We have no legislation that mandates local preference.  In most cases we will give preference points in panel scoring (1 per panelist) to artists applying from the city/county, and if the community wants it, we will give additional points (negotiable with the panel) to artists applying from the neighborhood where the project will take place.

Dear PAN Members,

 

I am looking for data regarding local preference policies for public art programs. Specifically, does your program restrict calls to artists to locals only, or place a 50% local/50% non-local type of filter on artist selections for RFQ’s?

 

If you have any information regarding this, please let me know.

 

Thank you,
