SUMMARY


The City seeks a consultant to establish a centralized public arts program and transition a ready-to-launch operation to city staff. Services include stakeholder engagement, peer-city research, best-practice analysis, and completion of program implementation deliverables.

DESCRIPTION


The selected vendor will provide city arts program services to help establish a fully functional public arts program. At the conclusion of the project, the consultant will transfer a ready-to-launch program to a designated city staff employee.

The work will support the creation of an independent, centralized arts council capable of coordinating, managing, and serving as a public liaison for the City’s broad public arts infrastructure. The vendor will conduct focused engagement activities identified in the Arts Council Feasibility Study, informed by respondent information and available census data.

The project will also include discussions and meetings with public art program and arts council staff in peer cities to gather advice and insights regarding best practices, policies, and procedures. The vendor will use the resulting outreach and research to complete all necessary deliverables and enable city management to establish the public arts program at project completion.
