Hey Michael,
In general, we want to make sure we select the best artist for that particular commission, so we do not have any overall parameters or restrictions for local v. non-local artists. We make the determination based on the project type and
budget. If a project has a limited budget, that sometimes leads us to restrict the call to more local artists to ensure less of the budget goes to transportation and hotel costs. Sometimes panelists or stakeholders voice a preference for local or regional
artists, so occasionally we will have a bonus point in the scoring for that.
I hope this helps.
Best,
Elise

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
