Reference the VARA act of 1990 to help build a case for you city or municipality to create a position to oversee this work. Of course training an existing work force that will also preform other task when not (after the restoration process)
carry out your yearly maintenance or preservation plan.

Subject: Funding for Maintenance and Restoration
Hi PAN Listserv,
I am working on a proposal and strategies to secure funding for maintenance and restoration of the Arts in Transit, Inc. (AIT) MetroLink public art collection. AIT is a separate
501(c) (3) that is a subsidiary of Bi-State Development in St. Louis:
Does anyone have suggestions related to or examples of securing outside funding including support from local corporations, foundations, or individuals for maintenance and restoration
of a collection? I realize that a one-time grant to do necessary repairs is not the answer and am also trying to think of ways to structure funding categories, donor recognition, etc. that could help to ensure ongoing or extended support.
AIT has completed an initial assessment of the condition of its collection and is in the process now of determining cost estimates, prioritizing pieces for repair efforts and determining
which pieces require the involvement of artists and/or a conservator.
If you have any suggestions, I would appreciate hearing from you. Thanks!
Best,
Lynn
