City staff is never “thanked” on formal signage.  If there is a dedication, individual speakers might thank specific individuals who were helpful, or, if there is a dedication event program, post card, etc. the funders or the city agency might be recognized, but not individuals.

In every position I have worked, city, state and non-profit, the entity can be thanked but never individuals who work within the entity. If this is paid for through tax payers funding, and the administrator is also paid for through city tax funding, working on behalf of general the public, the City or entity would always be the one to be credited.

You can be on a very slippery slope if you begin to recognize people other than the art (team). It could lead to a very long and potentially aggravating ("WHY is my name not listed?) list in the future.

On the other hand, digital files can be pretty easily transferred to ceramic tiles. The content does not take as much visual space and can be color matched into the larger piece or be mounted in a set aside space.

And you will generally build good will if you can spread responsibility for work to more people/entities. Of course, no one should be surprised (and not pleased) to see their name. 

I think the answer is somewhat situational and somewhat relational. Go figure.

In Oklahoma City, our policy states that we recognize artists and sponsors/donors on art markers.  An amazing thank you letter to the City Manager or department director is a great way to recognize and thank an employee for exemplary work.  These can be placed in personnel records.

Subject: Credits to mural sponsors or City staff?

 

We are finalizing a mural project and the artists want to thank City Staff (me) and also thank Sherwin Williams for donating paint as part of the credits. One of our Director’s doesn’t think City Staff or a sponsor like Sherwin Williams should be thanked on the wall. The mural is on a City-owned property.

 

The credits would be relatively small and not impact the aesthetic of the piece.

 

Do any of you have policies or practices around credits like this? Just curious.

 

 

Thanks,
