The State Arts Council's Artist Services Coordinator will be available to answer questions. After artists have been selected, they will be expected to work with the Committees and the Project Architect to refine their proposals. Percent for Art is administered by the New Hampshire State Council on the Arts through the New Hampshire Division of the Arts in the New Hampshire Department of Cultural Resources. Upon approval of the Site Advisory and Art Selection Committees' recommendations by State Arts Councilors, artists' contracts are forwarded to the Governor and Executive Council for final approval. An Art Selection Committee advises the State Arts Council on the overall operation of the program.
Members serve limited terms and represent a broad range of artistic disciplines.
Depending upon the type of space, type of art and craft work sought, either a limited competition or an open competition process is used. Members of the Art Selection Committee include professional artists, craftspeople, art educators, gallery directors, architects, an expert in New Hampshire antiquities, representatives from the State Arts Council, a lay person and a representative from the Bureau of Highways and Public Works. Members of the Site Advisory Committee include representatives from the various agencies housed in the building under consideration, the project architect, a State legislator from the district where the building is located, and users of the building.
