City of McCall
Public Art
Policies and Recommendations
Compiled by: Karen Bubb, Public Art Manager, City of Boise
June 29, 2012
City of McCall
1. PUBLIC ART PROGRAM MANAGEMENT: Adopt a public art management team structure for
the administration of future public art projects. The team would consist of:
a. City of McCall Community Development staff (Lead Team Member)
b. City of McCall Parks and Recreation staff
c. City of McCall Public Works staff
d. McCall Arts and Humanities Council representative
e. when needed — outside contractor
The team approach will provide the opportunity for the greatest amount of communication
and relationship -building among the lead agencies and city departments and the ability to
split up the administrative, planning, project management, and maintenance responsibilities
among the team groups and to work together to establish public art goals and policies as
needed. This approach also minimizes any fiscal impact for staff to initiate new public art
projects. With the Community Development Department staff person in the lead, all will
work together toward a shared end goal of developing a vibrant, sustainable public art
program for the City of McCall. This structure will work as long as the project load is under
2-3 projects per year. The team can agree to bring in a part-time outside contractor to assist
with aspects of the management of public art projects as needed and funds are available. As
the program grows, the ideal recommendation is for the City of McCall to hire a part time
staff person to be solely responsible for the public art program.
2. PUBLIC ART ADVISORY COMMITTEE: Once a public art project is selected by a selection
panel or when a work is offered as a donation to the City it must go to City Council for final
approval. Prior to works going to Council it is recommended that a standing body with
knowledge and understanding of the arts and the City review these works to consider site
appropriateness, aesthetic quality, appropriateness for the collection, maintenance needs,
and such issues. This group acts as the community advisory body for the public art program.
The Public Art Management Team shall propose the membership and make-up of the Public
Art Advisory Committee for approval by City Council.
Please see Exhibit A: to see how this review/approval process would flow and Exhibit B: an
overview of what the members responsibilities would be under this role.
3. ART SELECTION PROCESSES: To purchase or commission new works, McCall will use one of
the following methods of selection:
a. Request for Qualifications
b. Request for Proposals
c. Invitational
Each of these selection processes will involve a selection panel of stakeholders, who will
make recommendations of what to commission or purchase that will be forwarded to City
Council for final consideration and opportunities for input from the larger community.
4. ART DONATION POLICY: All donations of existing artworks considered for the McCall Public Art
Collection are required to be reviewed by the Public Art Management Team and the Public Art
Advisory Committee for a recommendation to City Council, where final approval rests. All
donations will have an accompanied information sheet (Exhibit C) and maintenance plan,
provided by the donor, in accordance with the maintenance policy and to the satisfaction of
the City or its designate. All donations must be unencumbered. No work of art will be accepted
if the donor requires the City to locate the work of art in a specific location in perpetuity. Art
works will normally include a funding donation for the maintenance and conservation of the
work being donated, the amount of which will be negotiated as part of an acceptance
agreement. When accepting a donation of an existing piece of art, where the ownership is
transferred to the City from an individual, organization, group, corporation, or other
municipality, each piece of art that is being considered for acquisition or donation to the City's
Public Art Inventory will be evaluated according to the following criteria:
a. Relevance to the Public Art Collection
b. Relevance to McCall's natural or built environment, cultural heritage, and/or history
c. Quality of the piece of art
d. Suitability of the artwork for display in a public space
e. Authenticity of the artwork
f. Condition of the artwork
g. City's ability to maintain and conserve the artwork
h. Ethical and legal considerations regarding ownership
5. FUNDING PUBLIC ART:
a. Consider passing a percent -for -art ordinance allocating a percentage of any eligible
capital projects for art. See Exhibit D for a comparative analysis of existing programs
in Idaho and a sample ordinance.
b. Consider voluntary line item allocation for public art from general funds or other
public revenue source.
c. Pursue grants from public or private sponsors for public art.
6. WHERE TO SITE PUBLIC ART? During the public meetings held May 16, 21 and June 15,
2012, participants were asked to recommend locations where they would like to see public
art. Those sites were placed on a map or listed when noting a more general location (see
list, Exhibit E, and Public Art Locations map). It is recommended that these sites be used as a
guide when selecting places for future public artworks. The public art management team
should prioritize the sites based on new project funding sources and the opportunities
presented with each new project.
7. TYPES OF PUBLIC ART: During public meetings held May 16, 21 and June 15, 2012,
participants provided feedback that they were interested in the following types of public art:
• Murals
• Artworks integrated into the design of buildings
• Interactive art that invites viewers to play
• Functional things turned into art like benches, bike racks, fountains
• Wayfinding art, trail markers
