Strategies

• Define criteria for what is considered a major improvement.

• Create guidelines about when and how art funding is incorporated into public improvements that align with the annual budget process and allow case-by-case funding decision.

• Integrate art early into the design of public improvements.

Policy 2: Pursue funding from income tax and non-income tax revenue sources.

Issue

• The community is in conflict on the appropriate level of funding support from income tax revenues that should be earmarked for public art.

Strategies

• Develop sponsorship and partnership opportunities for corporate residents.

• Dedicate a greater portion of hotel/motel fund revenues for public art.

Policy 3: Establish a consistent practice for determining whether proposed artists and artwork meet selection, siting and donation criteria.

Issue

• Current development code requires many potential public art sites to be reviewed by Planning and Zoning Commission, Board of Zoning Appeals and, if in Historic Dublin, Architectural Review Board.

Strategies

• Amend the City’s zoning code to relieve land use advisory bodies from this responsibility and to provide direction regarding who reviews public art and when it is reviewed.

• Identify a subcommittee of Dublin Arts Council board or a citizen task force for evaluating proposed administrative practices and make recommendations regarding selection, copyright, maintenance and other public art management practices.

Policy 4: The City and the Dublin Arts Council will maintain an ongoing dialogue and opportunities for resident involvement in the City’s public art efforts.

Issues

• The City’s art collection lacks promotion and education of works obtained outside of the Dublin Art in Public Places program™.
