42 <br />ARTIST SELECTION PANEL FOR PUBLICLY-FUNDED PROJECTS <br />The Artist Selection Panel is responsible to review artist submittals for publicly <br />funded art projects and make recommendations of finalists to the SLAC. <br />The Artist Selection Panel should be comprised of no fewer than three arts <br />professionals selected on the basis of expertise in public art, artists with <br />public art experience and arts management professionals, a representative <br />of the project design team, the client City department, and at least one panel <br />member representing the community in which the artwork will be located. SLAC <br />members may serve on the panel in the capacity of community members or arts <br />professionals, if appropriate, or may participate on the artist selection panel as <br />observers. Panel recommendations shall be based upon consensus. <br />METHODS OF ARTIST SELECTION: OPTIONS <br />PRIVATE PERCENT FOR ART PROJECTS <br />The developer and the developer’s public art consultant are responsible for artist <br />solicitation and selection for privately-funded on-site projects. The method of <br />artist selection and the rationale for this method, will be articulated in the plan <br />created by the public art consultant when the project is presented to the SLAC <br />for review. <br />PUBLIC PERCENT FOR ART PROJECTS <br />The SLAC, in consultation with Arts and Culture Program staff, recommends the <br />method for identifying artists that best reflects the project goals and offers the <br />best chance of finding the most qualified artist for the project. <br />The SLAC, in consultation with Arts and Culture Program staff, defines the <br />method for artist selection for each project, taking into account the nature and <br />needs of the specific project, including: <br />• Size of the budget available for artwork; <br />• Interest in working with emerging and/or established artists; <br />• Geographic restrictions on artists’ eligibility; <br />• Preferences concerning the nature of the artwork (i.e. medium, form); and <br />• Potential locations for the work and limitations or opportunities <br />presented by the site. <br />53
