Hi Jana,
Dallas: there are art projects popping up all over the place—from the Mayor offering grants for neighborhood revitalization to PIDs wanting advice on materials.
Our practice: We want neighborhoods invested in the expression and creation of art. BUT-- we make a distinction between work that will be accessioned into the Public Art Collection and neighborhood engagement art projects. Ultimately,
we would like to be the resource for all art going up in public spaces because most likely someone will be asking us for help down the road. To that end, we have information on mural best practices and a resource guide. We encourage all projects to develop
a lifespan for the project and maintenance and conservation plan (who does what, when and how does that happen safely).
For us, policy does not allow “Dallas Public Art” to maintain work not in the collection and ordinance prohibits the creation of temporary art. In our view, that just means we cannot fund it or take care of it but we can certainly be a
resource for neighborhoods would want to create their own art.
Kind Regards,
Lynn Rushton

Subject: Community Initiated Art Guidelines
For those City public art programs that provide an avenue for art initiated by community groups, I would like to know what guidelines you adopted for the process and some insight into what issues have arisen. I would also like to hear from
City’s that have considered adopting guidelines but decided against allowing community initiated art or stopped doing it – what were the reasons? Thanks, Jana
