Hi Kristen
Our
Urban Art Guidelines state:
“Developers must incorporate a plaque on or close to the work of art which properly acknowledges the artist and City’s Urban Art Program. The City approved plaque must be 6x9 inches and
in weather resistant bronze (or a comparable weather resistant material). The plaque must identify the name of the artist and the title of the piece as approved by the artist, the year of completion and the following words “West Hollywood Urban Art Program.”
Any additional wording must be approved by the Arts and Cultural Affairs Commission.”
The location of the plaque must be identified in the final art plan that is reviewed and approved by the Arts and Cultural Affairs Commission. Final sign off on the project after installation includes confirmation
of the plaque installation as reflected in the approved final art plan.

Subject: signage for City required public art for private development
I’m looking for particularly elegant and simple examples of City-mandated signage / plaque guidelines for private development requirements.
Our own program signage is fairly straightforward. For the private development requirements, I’m trying to avoid citing municipal code, etc. while still putting folks on notice that the artwork is intended to be freely accessible and has
specific associated legal requirements, even if it continues to be owned and maintained privately.
At the moment I’m stuck with this:
Artwork commissioned in accordance with Oakland Municipal Code 15.78: Public Art for Private Development
When possible, I encourage the developers to include the artists in their signage design decisions, but I don’t have any good examples yet to share with applicants.
If you are happy with your signage requirements please share!
Thanks,
Kristen Zaremba
