This report provides
additional information regarding an item on the May 28, 2008 City Council
Formal Agenda concerning the Phoenix Office of Arts and Culture’s FY 2008-09
Public Art Project Plan.
THE ISSUE
The ordinance
establishing the city’s Percent for Art Program was adopted in December
1986. The ordinance allows for up to 1%
of funding for Capital Improvement Program projects to be used for public
artwork enhancing those projects.
The proposed Public
Art Project Plan for FY 2008-09 has been developed by Phoenix Office of Arts
and Culture staff in consultation with city departments, city council offices
and community organizations.
The $30,197,426 plan
includes 69 public art projects. It follows the priorities established in the
Phoenix Public Art Program Master Plan, designates a wide variety of projects
throughout Phoenix, and includes goals for involving Arizona artists in
designing and building key public spaces and infrastructure.

Arizona Artist
Involvement
As in past years, the proposed Public Art Project Plan sets minimum
goals for the involvement of Arizona artists in the
art projects. Of the 69 projects in the Plan, 62 involve commissioning
artists. Seven projects do not entail
commissioning artists. These projects involve long-range planning and the major
retrofit of existing projects. While Arizona artists are
eligible to compete for all projects, 52% (32 of the 62 projects) either currently involve Arizona
artists and design professionals, or have been designated as projects for Arizona artists. Three of the projects identified for Arizona artists will
provide opportunities to commission more than one Arizona artist. Among
them are the Aviation Terrazzo projects, which may involve multiple commissions
for Arizona artists to design
new terrazzo floors at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport. Thirty projects
are designated for national competition or involve out-of-state artists. Arizona artists are
eligible to apply for each open, national competition.
Completed and Major Multi-Year Projects
The Public Art Project Plan includes a listing of prior year projects
that will not be carried forward into FY 2008-09, because they either were
substantially completed or could not be implemented for various reasons. The Plan also includes a listing of major
multi-year projects that will require significant funding resources over the
next five fiscal years – particularly in the areas of Aviation, Wastewater and
Water. Funding for the initial planning
and design phases of some of these
projects is included in the FY 2008-09 Public Art Project Plan.
Public Involvement
Public involvement is critical to the success of Percent for Art
projects. Neighborhood organizations,
village planning committees, schools, and city departments are included as
important participants in the public art process. The Office of Arts and Culture staff works
closely with city council offices, the Planning Department and the Neighborhood
Services Department to ensure that neighborhoods affected by an art project are
included in the project’s development.
Program Context
The proposed FY 2008-09 Public Art Project Plan includes $2,709,657 for
new projects and $27,487,769 to support continuing projects, for a total budget
of $30,197,426. The Public Art Project
Plan requests $8,776,209 in new funds and $21,421,217 in carryover funds.
Recommendation
Staff requests that the City Council approve the Phoenix Office of Arts
and Culture’s proposed FY 2008-09 Public Art Project Plan. The Phoenix Arts and
Culture Commission reviewed this item on April
16, 2008 and recommends approval. The Neighborhoods, Housing, Historic Preservation,
Arts & Culture Subcommittee reviewed this item on May 8, 2008 and recommends approval.
A copy of the 2008-09 Public Art Project
Plan is available in the City Clerk Department on the 15th
Floor of the Phoenix
City Hall or by calling 602-262-6811.
