Hi Michael,

As a State agency, we frequently express a “preference for New Jersey artists” in our public art calls. Sometimes, we include a city or county preference or requirement for the artist in our calls.

However, we make this choice on a project-by-project basis. We do not have a resident percentage requirement.

My best,

Danielle

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,

Michael Ogilvie
