Invitational call: A limited call for artists, or invitation call, makes use of a panel to identify qualified artists for a particular project. Identified artists are sent information about the project and invited to submit letters of interest and concepts for artworks. The panel then selects the concept that best fits the criteria.
Pre-qualified registry: A pre-qualified registry allows the City to screen artists based upon predefined criteria before determining the scope of an artwork. These artists remain on the registry for one to two years and often are incorporated into design teams for public improvements.

By establishing a registry, multiple artists can be identified through one process for future projects. Second, the City maintains an aggressive schedule for design and construction of public improvements.
The registry allows artists to be incorporated when the design team is established and offers
greater opportunity for the artwork to be an integral part of the project.
Third, pre-qualified artists have ample opportunity to familiarize themselves with Dublin, including history, residents and geography that can influence the creative process.
