• There are limited means for gathering input from the community.

Strategies

• Incorporate information about visual artworks into more City publications.

• Develop a printed and online catalog of City-owned works.

• Work with Dublin Arts Council and Dublin Convention and Visitors Bureau to attract visitors and create a docent program.

• Encourage residents to interact with artists as they formulate designs.

• Hold events that celebrate public art directly.

• Celebrate public art indirectly by holding events in existing public art venues.

• Spark input by adding an online forum on the City of Dublin’s Website for residents and visitors.

Policy 5: Adopt standards for maintenance and de-accessioning.

Issues

• No minimum maintenance standards are incorporated into the selection process.

• Art is selected without full knowledge of the necessary

maintenance and the resources needed to maintain works as envisioned by the artist.

• Some works of art require significant, and unanticipated, upkeep.

• Formal maintenance standards are not developed in cooperation with the artist.

• There are no established criteria or standards set for the de-accession of an artwork.

Strategies

• Create minimum maintenance standards for all works of art to aid in the selection of appropriate art.

• Work with artists to identify necessary maintenance before acquisition.

• Determine criteria and standards for the de-accession of artworks, including but not limited to instances where the City is unable to keep up with excessive or unreasonable maintenance, artworks that are found to be fraudulent/not authentic, or artworks which hold a physical threat to public safety.

Policy 6: Loaned or gifted art will compliment the high quality artwork in the City’s permanent collection.
