The process
There are three types of Project Categories.
The Direct Selection
method is permitted for projects with art allocations
between $5,000 and $25,000. The selection committee includes a member of the Cultural
Council, the designated program administrator, the user agency representative and two
visual arts representatives.
The Invitational Method
is used for projects with art allocations of $25,001 to $50,000. The selection committee
is the same as the Direct Selection Method with the addition of the building's architect
or an additional visual arts representative.
The Open Competition
is permitted for projects with a budget of $50,001 or more. The selection committee
consists of the architect, a member of the Cultural Council, the designated program
administrator, the user agency representative, and three visual art representatives.
The recommendations from each selection committee are
forwarded to the Cultural Council who in turn makes a recommendation to the County Council
for final approval.
