EXHIBIT "A"
Art in Public Places Gifts of Artwork Guidelines
The Art in Public Places Board will review all proposed gifts of works of art to the Village and make
recommendations to the Council on a case -by -case basis. The Board will forward a recommendation
to the Village Council only in those cases where the Board recommends that the Council accept the
artwork.
Potential Donors of Art will submit images and a description of work to the APP committee through
VKB staff. Each artwork must be presented through a dossier including images, information on
artist, technical details of work and any relevant references. The Board will review this information
to make a recommendation to the Council. In some cases, the Board may request to inspect work or
may ask for further documentation on work and artist.
In all cases, artworks will be considered with artistic excellence as the primary criterion. The Board
will apply the formal Artist Selection Criteria and the Artwork Review Criteria to evaluate all
proposed gifts of art to the Village.
The APP Board will manage the evolving art collection, and will make recommendations for
permanently installing works in all public spaces of the Village.
The Village Council will review the recommendation of the APP Board for every artwork to be
formally accepted and added to the Village's cultural collections.
Once an artwork becomes part of the Village Art Collection, information about artist and work shall
be developed and disseminated for public information and education.
Donors will be provided with documentation of their gifts of works of art to the Village, in line with
applicable guidelines.
