We have great news to share!

 

SAN FRANCISCO — On Monday, February 5th, VINCE CHHABRIA, a United States District Judge, dismissed with prejudice the Building Industry Association’s challenge of Oakland, California’s requirement that large developments must include publicly accessible art or make an in-lieu contribution to the Public Art program for administration by the City.  This means the plaintiff is barred from bringing an action on the same claim to this court.

 

The public art requirement for private development was originally adopted in 2014, and amended in 2017. The current requirements are documented in the Oakland Municipal Code here.

 

We want to thank everyone for their support over the last 2+ years, and promise to let you know if and when we receive any additional news that may of interest to the field. Please feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions.

Happy Friday!

Kristen
