Yes, absolutely.  We feel it gives the artist time to develop a design while getting to know the site and community intimately.  On projects like this the community element of the selection panel gets to work with the artist and help shape the final artwork.  For some types of projects that aren't quite so tied to the community we will do the two-stage process, but we don't feel it's a handicap not to.

Hello Art Admins;

 

Have you ever sent out an RFQ and hired the artist directly from there without them developing a proposal?  I’m thinking you are missing a big piece of the process by eliminating the selection panel on the final process by doing so.  Would appreciate your thoughts and opinions please.
