SECTION II: GROUPS INVOLVED WITH GOVERNANCE/ ADMINISTRATION OF PUBLIC ART

The following section defines the groups and responsibilities of those involved in administering the
Public Art Program.

 City of Fayetteville Arts and Culture Division

The City of Fayetteville’s Arts and Culture Division, within the Parks, Natural Resources and Cultural
Affairs Department shall oversee and administer the Public Art Program in accordance with the
provisions of these policies. The Arts and Culture Division’s duties shall include oversight and
coordination of the Public Art Program, administration of the program’s budget, designation and hiring
of staff to administer the Public Art Program, including guidance and oversight of the selection,
acquisition, purchase, commissioning, placement, installation, maintenance, and deaccessioning of all
artwork acquired by the City of Fayetteville that is defined as Public Art in Section I.

Designated staff in the Arts and Culture Division shall serve as staff liaison for the Fayetteville Arts
Council (see below) and as the source of public information regarding the Public Art Program as
required. They will also serve as a liaison for the community, private developers and other external
partners (BIDs, neighborhood organizations, special districts, etc.) who are considering procurement of
public art on City-owned property or through City incentive programs.
City Arts and Culture Division Staff may adjust or augment these Policies and Procedures as needed or
requested for clarification or to ensure utilization of current best practices within the Public Art
Program.

 Fayetteville Arts Council (Fayetteville Arts Council)

The Fayetteville Arts Council was created by the city council in 2007 in the City of Fayetteville Municipal
Code Chapter 33 Article XXII.

SECTION III: Art Procurement

Any purchases or commissions for artwork shall adhere to City Purchasing policies.

Public Art purchases valued at $40,000 and above
Art will be solicited via a transparent public process outlined with the city’s purchasing division and City
Council shall review and approve contracts valued at more than $40,000, while Fayetteville Arts Council
will approve final art associated with those contracts and staff will deem the contract work completed.

Public Art purchases valued at $39,999 and below
Staff will coordinate a transparent public process adherent to purchasing guidelines where finalized art
for public display will be reviewed by Fayetteville Arts Council. Depending on the value and nature of the
artwork the art solicitation process will vary, but will always pass through staff and Fayetteville Arts
Council.

  Public Art Selection Panels

The Fayetteville Arts Council, in coordination with City staff, may establish separate Public Art Selection
Panels for each new public art commission it undertakes. Public Art Selection Panels enable the City to
engage volunteer community members (outside of the Fayetteville Arts Council) who may possess specific
knowledge or expertise and/or interest in a particular project or commission. The Fayetteville Arts
Council, along with Arts and Culture Division staff, shall determine the composition and selection criteria
for each selection panel at a Fayetteville Arts Council meeting.

Selection Panels shall ideally be made up of at least five people. The recommended selection panel
makeup is the following:
At least one professional artist or arts professional which may include an artist, art historian, museum,
curator, or arts administrator or coordinator;
 ● At least one community member interested in the project or someone who either lives or works
 near the proposed site for the artwork (that may or may not be involved with the arts);
 ● At least one Fayetteville Arts Council member;
 ● City of Fayetteville department staff or leadership as needed for their knowledge of the project
 area, neighborhood, etc.; and
 ● Additional panelists may be chosen for the selection panel as deemed appropriate including
 members of the community in which the art will be sited, subject matter experts, designers or
 architects for the project, or other site representatives.
 ● Non-voting advisors and consultants may be added as needed.

 ● City representatives and Arts and Culture Division staff shall be considered non-voting members
 of all selection panels.
Each Public Art Selection Panel will be specific to a particular site or project for the Public Art Program.
The group is charged with discussion and determination of the public art parameters, consideration of
appropriate public art locations and public art opportunities for the site. The group shall establish
consensus to determine artist criteria, selection methods and other information needed for the
solicitation of artists for the commission (see Section xxx). Other activities of the Selection Panel shall
include, but are not limited, to the review of artist applications and proposals, conducting interviews,
and other activities needed for the selection of artists for each commission. A record of the selection
process will be recorded by staff or a member of the panel for future reference.

  Conflict of Interest
It is expected that members of the Fayetteville Arts Council, Arts and Cultural Staff and Liaisons,
Selection Panels, members of subcommittees, or any other ad hoc groups or individuals working with
the Public Art Program may be aware of the work of some artists and arts organizations who submit
their work for consideration for public art projects. Such awareness alone does not constitute a conflict
of interest, nor does owning a piece of work by a submitting artist. A conflict of interest is deemed to
exist if a member/panelist is related to an artist, either through family, marriage, or domestic
partnership, or any other relationship of economic interdependence, a business relationship such as
representing the work of an artist as a gallery owner, or if a member stands to gain direct benefit,
whether financial or otherwise, from the selection of an artist. If a member is affiliated with an artist
under consideration in any of the ways mentioned above, they shall state that they have a conflict of
interest, and the committee will vote on whether a conflict exists and whether that member shall
recuse themself from voting or further discussion on the project in question.


 Art Solicitation Methods

Solicitations will occur through a fair and transparent process, as determined by the Fayetteville Arts
Council and Public Art Selection Panels.

Artwork may be acquired by a variety of methods:

 ● Open Competition via Request for Proposal (RFP) or Qualifications (RFQ)
 The Fayetteville Arts Council Selection Panel may use an “Open-Call” or “Request for
 Proposal/Qualifications” open to all artists. A RFQ is sent to artist lists, media lists, and art
 organizations to publicize the competition/project, requirements, schedule, and budget. All
 interested and qualified artists may submit their qualifications (usually images of past work,
 biography, artist statement, etc.) for consideration. Artists may be selected for a commission
 based on qualifications only. One artist may be selected based on their qualifications, or one or
 more artists may be selected to move on to a proposal or interview phase. Artists are paid an
 honorarium to cover the cost of a proposal and/or travel to the site. Artists may be selected for
 commission based on their proposal or interview. If no proposal or artist is deemed suitable, the
 project can be suspended or re-called using any selection method. Depending on the value of
 the proposed art work, records of the selection process are filed via the purchasing division, or
 via staff.

 ● Limited Competition via Request for Qualifications or Invitational
 The Fayetteville Arts Council or Selection Panel may decide that a certain set of criteria is
 needed for a call to artists (e.g. Fayetteville or Arkansas artists only, muralists, etc.). A select
 number of artists are either directly invited to submit qualifications or an RFQ is issued with the
 stated selection criteria.
 Only artists invited or artists that fit the established criteria shall be considered eligible for the
 competition. One artist may be selected based on their qualifications, or one or more artists
 may be selected to move on to a proposal phase or interview phase. Artists are paid an
 honorarium to cover the cost of their proposal and/or travel to the site. Artists may be selected
 for commission based on their proposal or interview. If no proposal or artist is deemed suitable,
 the project can be suspended or re-called using any selection method. Records of the selection
 process are reviewed and certified in a public meeting of the Fayetteville Arts Council.
 ● Direct Purchase (with or without competition)
 Direct purchases are feasible but subject to the standard policies and procedures established by
 the City’s Procurement Services department.
 ● Request for Proposals
 Although best practices dictate that artists should be paid to develop an artwork proposal for
 consideration, there may be special circumstances when the Fayetteville Arts Council issues a
 Request for Proposals (RFP) or a Request for Information (ROI) without paying a fee.

 ● Unsolicited Acquisition via Donation (solicited or unsolicited)
 Donations of artwork to the City of Fayetteville are feasible but subject to the policies and
 procedures established below (see Permanent Donation Policies and Procedures).
 ● Artists Roster
 The Public Art Program may develop an artist roster (and other arts professionals) to help
 facilitate art projects that may be small in scale or budget, are on private property, require
 specific skills or materials, or have a tight timeline that makes an open call not feasible. This
 would be a standing roster of local, national, or international candidates that are pre-qualified
 through an open Request for Qualifications. The roster can be renewed on an on-going basis,
 generally biennially, through an open Request for Qualifications.




SECTION IV: FUNDING AND CONTRACTING FOR PUBLIC ART
Public Art Funding
All public art funding shall be determined and set aside for use in Public Art Programming at the discretion
of the City Council through budgeting procedures.

 Designated Account for Public Art Funds
 Dedicated public art funds shall be placed in the Public Art Project Account that can roll over
 from year to year, as many projects can be multi-year projects or phased. This is recommended
 so that the artwork can be distributed around the city and not have to be attached or adjacent
 to the project that generated the funds. There may be cases where integrated art is desirable,
 but best practice is to always maintain the capability and flexibility to move the funding for a
 project elsewhere or use part of it at the site and the rest somewhere else.

 Mixed Funding
 The Public Art Program may combine any of the funding sources from the Public Art Account
 with donated or granted funds from various outside sources for the acquisition, fabrication, or
 installation of artwork. The combined donated funds shall be used according to donor or grantor
 designation or, if undesignated, at the discretion of the City.


 Limited Use of Funds

 The Public Art Project Account shall be used to commission (including contingency funding),
 acquire, prepare and develop sites, engineer, install, and maintain/repair any of the types of
 “public art” as defined above as well as structural elements related to the artwork, events and
 promotion related to the artwork or the program, and shall not be used for any of the items
 listed in “not considered art” above.



  Contracts & License Agreements
Following the final selection of an artwork or artist, regardless of funding source or acquisition method,
a written contract or license agreement shall be prepared and authorized by the appropriate City staff
and reviewed by the Fayetteville City Attorney or designee. Each contract will be drafted on a case-by-
case basis, but usually will outline the following items:
 ● Project scope and deliverables;
 ● Description of artwork to be acquired;
 ● Insurance requirements for all parties;
 ● Contract amount and payment schedule;
 ● Project milestones;
 ● Artists’ rights, including copyright;
 ● City of Fayetteville’s rights vis-à-vis the artwork;
 ● Warranties and maintenance/restoration agreements;
 ● Provisions for making changes to the contract or contract amount;
 ● Provisions for cancellation of the contract by any party; and
 ● Other legal requirements as requested by the City's Attorney.


Collection Insurance
The City’s Arts and Culture Division will maintain a Public Art Inventory database. Once a new piece of
art has been acquired, it will be added to the Public Art Inventory database. Information to be added
includes the Title, Artist’s Name, Medium, Location (including GIS coordinates), Acquisition Date,
Acquisition Price, and Replacement Cost. This information will then be forwarded regularly to the City’s
Risk Management team, to add the artwork to the City’s insurance coverage (if not already covered by
the City’s umbrella policy).


 SECTION V: PUBLIC ART SITE SELECTION

  Location and Site Prioritization
The Fayetteville Arts Council and Arts and Culture Division staff, in accordance with the City’s Arts and
Culture Plan and any future Public Art Plans, shall identify potential sites for public art installation and
integration. Input should also be sought from appropriate City Departments and Divisions and other
community advisors. Arts and Culture Division staff shall create and periodically update a list of
prioritized sites within the city of Fayetteville for consideration for the public art program. This
 prioritized list of sites will serve as a guide for installation of art for a specific term or budget amount.
 Other criteria and guidelines to consider for the priority site list includes:
 ● Upcoming capital improvement projects
 ● Areas that are under development or redevelopment
 ● Areas being impacted by transportation or other infrastructure projects (including grant-
 funded projects)
 ● Areas in Fayetteville that are lacking in public art
 ● Priority areas for economic development or placemaking
 ● Priority projects as determined by other criteria


 Site Criteria
 To ensure public art is safe, accessible, and properly sited, the Public Art Program shall also evaluate
 sites according to, but not limited to, the criteria below to guide the placement of art projects. City Staff
 from related Departments will provide support, professional expertise, and advice as needed.

 Criteria shall include:
 ● Overall budget and staff capacity;
 ● Levels of complexity involved and interdepartmental cooperation needed;
 ● External constituents and partnerships required;
 ● Equitable distribution of public art throughout the community;
 ● Compatibility of the design, scale and location with the character of the site;
 ● Relationship of proposed artwork to existing artworks in the vicinity;
 ● Accessibility to the general public, with particular attention paid to Americans with Disabilities
 Act (ADA);
 ● Visibility and free access for the public at least during normal building or park operating hours,
 where relevant;
 ● Vehicular, bicycle and pedestrian access, visibility and traffic patterns, including ingress/egress;
 ● Public safety;
 ● Environmental impacts;
 ● Impacts on adjacent property owners;
 ● Sightline obstruction and traffic impacts/distractions;
 ● Maintenance requirements created by the installation, such as landscaping, lighting,
 underground utilities and accessibility for maintenance;
 ● Ease of site access for public art maintenance
 ● Future development of the site; and
 ● Any other criteria deemed by the Arts and Culture Division Staff, Fayetteville Arts
 Council or the City to be important.

Site and Project Approval
Approval for public art sites and projects (donated or commissioned) will be coordinated with relevant City
boards, commissions, departments, or divisions—such as the Parks, Natural Resources and Cultural Affairs
Advisory Board, Active Transportation, Facilities, etc.—when the proposed location is under their
management. Arts and Culture staff will develop and communicate appropriate approval processes to the
Fayetteville Arts Council as needed.
SECTION VI: ART ACQUISITION METHODS AND GUIDELINES FOR PERMANENT COMMISSIONS.
 Acquisition Policies
All public art shall be commissioned through a fair and transparent process. The Public Art Program may
revise or adopt new policies and procedures at any time to guide the process.


  Public Art Planning and Acquisition Criteria
  The City of Fayetteville seeks to build a robust permanent public art collection to help fulfill its vision of
making Fayetteville a memorable and vibrant cultural destination. As the permanent artwork selected for
the public art collection will be appreciated by the community now and for generations to come, the City
may develop periodic Public Art Plans to guide acquisitions, collection maintenance and other program
elements. These plans can be done yearly, every five years, and/or produced as longer-range plans with a
longer planning window.

Generally, the following criteria shall be used when selecting artwork for the public art collection. The
Fayetteville Arts Council may revise or increase the criteria for specific projects or update these criteria
in the future as needed.

Artwork selected for the Fayetteville Public Art Collection shall:
 ● Demonstrate the highest quality.
 ● Contribute to Fayetteville’s distinct identity and reputation as a cultural hub.
 ● Reflect Fayetteville’s unique character, diversity, heritage, culture, and natural
 environment.
 ● Be a unique and original work of art and not a duplicate of themes or styles already
 represented in the collection or collections in nearby communities, unless it is done
 purposefully and with intention.
 ● Diversify the collection in terms of artists, perspectives, materials/media, scale, and
 sites.
 ● Be selected through a fair and transparent process.
 ● Be complete, in good physical condition, of excellent workmanship, and able to
 withstand the environment in which it is to be placed (unless considered temporary
 work). The collection should not require excessive, expensive, or continual maintenance
 or repairs.
 ● Be of a size, scale, and theme that is compatible with an available, suitable public site in
 Fayetteville.
 ● Not present a danger or safety concerns to the public or those working with the
 artwork.
 ● Be accessible to the general public.


SECTION VII: POLICIES AND PROCEDURES FOR DONATED OR TEMPORARY ARTWORK


 Permanent Donation Policies and Procedures
 The City of Fayetteville seeks to acquire works of art that will further the objectives of the Public
 Art Program. Many gifts are offered to the City for inclusion in the public art collection; however,
 not all gifts offered can be accepted.

All proposed donations of artwork, memorials, and other unsolicited art items to be sited on City
property must be approved by the Fayetteville Arts Council (subject to Section V Site Selection
requirements). Following the donation procedures below does not guarantee that a piece will be
accepted. Any donated artwork accepted by the City becomes part of the permanent collection and is
subject to standard deaccession policy (see Section VIII). Donation requests may be reviewed annually or
at another regular interval, as determined by the Fayetteville Arts Council.

Proposals to donate works of art to the City of Fayetteville must be submitted to the Fayetteville Arts
Council through a Donation Application. A Donation Application may contain the following:
 ●  A cover letter explaining what the artwork is and that it is offered to the City as a gift and the donor
 has the authority to transfer ownership to the City, and a short explanation as to why the work
 should be added to the City’s collection.
 ● Program Alignment: A statement indicating how the donation contributes to Fayetteville’s Arts and
 Culture or Public Art Program goals, selection criteria, mission, and vision.
 ● For memorial donations: Memorial proposals honoring individuals or events will be considered if
 they are of broad community interest or marks an event that has affected the community. The
 memorial must have timeless qualities and should represent the values of the community and
 future generations.
 ● Artwork and Artist Information: A statement describing the physical attributes of the
 artwork/proposed artwork and biographical information on the artist. The donor may be required
 to submit a report from a conservator or the artist confirming the good condition of the artwork. If
 available, maquettes, models, images, or the actual work will be reviewed to show the condition
 and proper scale of the work.
 ● Provenance: If the artwork is pre-existing, provide proof of the artwork’s ownership history,
 conservation history, exhibition history, a letter of authenticity, and documentation of donor’s
 ownership and/or authority to transfer of ownership;
 ● Value: A current estimate of value (provided by the donor or outside appraiser).
 ● Maintenance Recommendations: All pending donations shall be required to include maintenance
 recommendations and associated costs; most donations will require a financial donation for the
 future maintenance of the piece. Complex or large memorials that require significant and costly
 maintenance may require insurance, a bond or an endowment fund, and a maintenance schedule
 by the donor to ensure the project’s condition is satisfactory to the City, as well as the donor. The
 posted insurance or bond should cover costs of installation and/or removal.
 ● Site: All proposed donations of public art, monuments or memorials must include at least three
 (3) feasible sites for their project along with an explanation of the significance and relationship to
 each site. Providing site suggestions in no way obligates the City to locate a donation on that site.
 The Fayetteville Arts Council will follow the site criteria in Section IV of this policy in finalizing a
 site.
  ● Community Feedback: The Donor may be asked to gather and submit community feedback about
 the proposed donation and site. If a site is proposed, the community feedback must represent the
 views of residents adjacent to the site or other stakeholders affiliated with the site. Depending on
 the nature of the project, further public engagement may be required according to the specific
 requirements for a permit application or development review.
  ● Budget and Funding Strategy: All associated costs of the project including, but not limited to, cost
 of design, fabrication, plaques, transportation, installation, site preparation work, foundation,
 lighting, electrical, insurance and permits must be financed by the requesting party. Proposal will
 provide a plan for funding these elements as well as cover future maintenance of the work.
  ● Additional information as requested.

 Once all materials have been submitted, Arts and Culture division staff (and other department
 representatives as needed) will schedule an internal feasibility review and a consultation with the
 applicant. Proposed donations that are substantial or significant in size or scope may be referred
 directly to the Fayetteville Arts Council for their approval of the project’s initial concepts before
 embarking on further costly planning and study. Applicants may be required to modify their proposal
 and provide additional information at any time during the approval process.


 Fayetteville Arts Council will review all donated art valued at $5,000 or greater to accept or deny the
 donation. Staff will then formally accept the work into the public art collection.

 Donated artwork valued at less than $5,000 will be reviewed and accepted or denied by staff with
 Fayetteville Arts Council receiving regular collection reports of donated pieces in the public art collection.

 The Fayetteville Arts Council and the Fayetteville City Council will reject display works of art that are
 obscene (as defined by A.C.A.§ 5-68-302 et seq.) or violate other local, state or federal laws.

 Fayetteville Arts Council’s recommendation to reject the proposal is final unless the City Council requests
 a review.

 Once approved, the donor will enter into an agreement with the City of Fayetteville according to
 contracting policies. (See Contracts & License Agreements above)


 Temporary Loan Policies and Procedures
 To increase the variety and artistic quality of public art for the community, the City of Fayetteville will
 occasionally display art loaned to the City by artists, institutions, or organizations. This allows for
 rotating exhibitions of artwork and assures that the art displayed within the City remains fresh. To
 ensure the quality of the works displayed, the City designates the Fayetteville Arts Council as the entity
 to review such loans. The Fayetteville Arts Council shall use the following guidelines to decide whether a
 proposed loan is appropriate, the duration of the loan, and where it should be located.

Solicitation of Loaned Artwork: The Fayetteville Arts Council may solicit artwork (using selection
methods similar to Art Acquisition Methods in Section VI above) for loans or engage in temporary loan
programs

Unsolicited Loans of Artwork individuals or entities interested in loaning artwork follow the steps in the
Permanent Donation section above. In addition to the items listed on the Donation Application, the
lender must indicate that the loan is offered on a temporary basis, the duration of the loan, and any
other terms for the loan. Other items may be requested including:
 ● Precise terms of loan offer (terms, cost, siting, duration, etc.);
 ● Details on installation and de-installation;
 ● Terms for any required maintenance during the term of the loan;
 ● Terms of repair agreement if the artwork is damaged during the loan term; and
 ● Insurance requirements.
 ● No permanent loans will be accepted.
Special Temporary Artwork, Exhibitions & Murals
“Special Temporary artwork” is defined separately from temporary loaned artwork above. Temporary
artwork is proposed for a site as a semi-permanent work that will be destroyed, weathered away, or
removed after a period of time. Examples of temporary artwork include environmental works of art,
installations, event-based artwork, or murals.

 ● Temporary Art Acquisition: Acquiring Temporary Art shall follow the appropriate acquisition
 method outlined in Section VI.
 ● Fayetteville Arts Council and Staff Approval: All temporary works of art will be reviewed by the
 Fayetteville Arts Council in consultation with appropriate City departments. Their
 recommendations will be considered before approval by the Fayetteville Arts Council.
 ● Temporary Art Agreements: A Temporary Art Agreement outlining the terms of the temporary
 exhibition, installation, or mural shall be created. Information that must be included:
 o Expected short-term maintenance costs and procedures;
 o Expected term or lifespan of art installation;
 o Value of artwork (for insurance purposes);
 o Proposed site;
 o Proposed disposal of the artwork (if applicable) or deaccession procedure and
 disposition; and
 o Insurance & Maintenance: The City of Fayetteville shall maintain appropriate insurance
 for the work of art for the duration of the temporary display period. The City shall
 maintain and conserve the loaned artwork during its term of installation or according to
 the Temporary Art Agreement.



SECTION VII: SAFETY AND MAINTENANCE

  Public Art Safety Considerations
Maintaining a safe, welcoming environment for the city and its visitors is key when considering public
art. All art accepted into the City’s public art collection is evaluated regularly to ensure it is not damaged
or does not become a safety hazard. The City of Fayetteville through the Arts and Culture Division and
Fayetteville Arts Council should endeavor to follow safety precautions provided by the City’s risk
management policies and operating procedures when considering acquiring art and its placement.
When an artist is commissioned to create artwork for inclusion in the collection, the artist may be
requested to have all elements of the finished artwork reviewed and approved by a structural engineer
licensed to work in Arkansas. All artwork on display in the collection should be constructed with
consideration given to public safety and the durability of the artwork.


 ● Review
 Arts and Culture Division Staff, City staff (as needed), and Fayetteville Arts Council members
 shall be responsible for reviewing and evaluating the safety and stability of each art piece
 before it is acquired for the collection. Staff shall recommend approval of the acquisition only if
 the installation does not pose any foreseeable physical hazards, is not easily damaged, and has
 been reviewed and approved by a licensed engineer.

 The Arts and Culture Division Staff in conjunction with City Staff shall also consider the placement
 of the artwork for safety and assurance that placement near paths does not obstruct traffic lines
 of sight, risk being struck by traffic, or block City services.

 Removal & Repair of Damaged or Unsafe Art
 Once art is on display, it will be reviewed regularly by Arts and Culture Division Staff or their
 designee for damage or deterioration. If a piece is damaged and/or declared a safety hazard, it
 will be repaired or removed immediately by City Staff.

  Public Art Maintenance and Repair
The works of art in the collection are assets of the City of Fayetteville. As such, it is the responsibility of
the City to maintain the collection of publicly-owned artwork to ensure the long-term value of these
assets and that the collection can be enjoyed for generations to come. The following section outlines the
documentation, preservation, and maintenance processes that will support this goal. The Public Art
Program will not maintain artwork outside of its collection without prior legal agreement between the
City and the owner of the artwork.

 ● Documentation of Collection
 Moving forward, each work of art in the collection shall be properly and regularly documented
 with the following:
 ● Artwork information – title, artist, year of commission, materials, location of artwork
 (including GIS location coordinates);
 ● Photo of artwork in its current location;
 ● Periodic condition reports;
 ● Records and photos of actual maintenance performed and an assessment of those efforts;
 ● Artist’s maintenance recommendations, methods and materials information, potential
 problems with the work, finishes information (e.g., painter’s name; when, where, what, and
 how the piece was finished), quality of materials used, installation information, warranties,
 professional and/or other knowledgeable opinions regarding preservation and maintenance;
 ● Artist’s resume, artwork history, estimated value, purchase amount/replacement cost,
 where the work has been exhibited, and any transcriptions or recordings of personal
 interviews with the artist;
 ● Each artwork will be accounted for on the Public Art Master Inventory list;
 ● Risk Management will be notified of new public art acquisitions so it can be added to the
 City’s insurance policy.

 ● Artist Involvement
Installation, maintenance, alteration, refinishing, and moving of artwork shall be done in consultation
with the artist whenever feasible. So far as practical, if repair of any artwork is required, the City shall
give the artist the opportunity to perform such repair work for a reasonable fee. If the artist refuses to
make the repair for such a fee, the City may proceed to solicit bids in accordance with the City’s
competitive bidding procedures.

 ● Emergency Maintenance or Repairs
When emergency repairs are necessary to prevent the loss of or further damage to the artwork or
assure public safety, such repairs may be approved by the Arts and Cultural Director. Every effort shall
be made to contact the artist for emergency repairs. Repairs shall not be deemed to constitute an
artistic alteration. If a work of art has been deemed unsafe to the public, it shall be removed from its
site and stored until repairs can be made or considered for deaccession.

Inspection and Condition Reports
The Arts and Culture Division Staff will conduct regular condition reports and periodic
conservation/preservation assessments of the public art collection. This reporting will be used in
creating maintenance plans and appropriating funding. Paid professional condition
appraisers/conservators and/or knowledgeable volunteers, art professionals, or industry experts may
perform the inspection for each piece. An inspection and/or condition report for each piece will become
part of the permanent documentation of the specific piece and will reside with the Public Art Program.

 ● Maintenance Plan
 Based on the inspection and condition reports, conservator recommendations, and/or the artist
 maintenance recommendations, a maintenance plan will be developed and updated periodically to
 schedule, budget, and perform cleaning, repair, and other required maintenance to preserve each
 piece in the public collection. This plan is initiated and coordinated by the Arts and Culture Division
 Staff.

 A maintenance plan can include the following elements:
 ● Materials, fabrication methods, and other recommendations needed to maintain or repair
 the artwork;
 ● Installation specifications and engineering documentation;
 ● Method and frequency of required maintenance; and
 ● Additional contacts or information for maintenance issues, as needed.

 ● Funding for Maintenance
Costs for repair and maintenance of artwork in the City’s collection shall be funded from the Public Art
account or the Arts and Culture Division accounts, depending on the total cost.

Emergency Relocation and Removal of Art
No public art shall be permanently removed, altered, or changed without the review and approval of
the Fayetteville Arts Council except that review and approval of the Fayetteville Arts Council shall not be
required for temporary removal of public art by City personnel as approved by the Arts and Culture
Director for maintenance or repair, or for temporary or permanent removal of public art that, in the
sole discretion of the Arts and Culture Director, poses a public health or safety hazard.


SECTION VIII: DEACCESSION AND RELOCATION POLICIES
Occasionally, public art needs to be refreshed, moved, and/or removed from the collection.
Deaccessioning is a procedure for withdrawing a work of art from the City of Fayetteville’s permanent
public art collection. Deaccession requests can come from anyone in the community. All artwork in the
collection will be considered permanent parts of the collection unless these artworks were created as
temporary, semi-permanent art or the art is on loan. Works of art may be considered for removal from
the collection with a majority vote of the Fayetteville Arts Council. No public artwork shall be removed,
re-sited, or altered by any other City department, public or private entity, or individual without the
prior review and approval of the Arts and Culture Director, with inputs from the Fayetteville Arts
Council.

  Criteria for Deaccession
The Fayetteville Arts Council may consider deaccession of artwork for any one or more of the following
reasons:

 o The art has been damaged or deteriorated beyond the point where repair is practical or
 feasible or has outlived the useful life of the work as defined in the commission
 contract.
 o The artwork requires excessive maintenance or has faults of design, material, or
 workmanship, and repair or remedy is impractical or unfeasible.
 o Significant changes in the use, character, or design of the site have occurred, which affect
 the integrity of the work.
 o The artwork endangers public safety, whether structurally or in its current
 condition/location; and an alternate site is not currently suitable or available, and/or it
 is cost-prohibitive to properly restore or relocate the artwork.
 o The condition and security of the artwork cannot be reasonably guaranteed.
 o The piece was stolen from its location and cannot be retrieved.
 o The artist legally exercises the right of disassociation granted by VARA, preventing the use of
 his/her/their name as the creator of the public art.
 o The artist requests the removal from the collection.
 o The artwork is incompatible with the rest of the collection or is not aligned with the current
 Public Art Policies or Goals.
 o The artwork is a memorial or monument that is out-of-date or has lost significance to the
 community.
 o The artwork is fraudulent or not authentic.
 o The City or Fayetteville Arts Council wishes to replace the artwork with a piece of more
 significance.
 o The artwork is an environmental hazard or is causing damage to the site or location.
 o The artwork is a maquette/scale model or other item for which there is no longer storage.
 o An emergency necessitates deaccessioning the artwork.
 o The artwork has caused significant adverse public reactions towards artwork and has
 continued unabated over an extended period of time (five years).
 o For any other significant reason articulated by the Fayetteville Arts Council, at its
 discretion. Under these circumstances, the recommendation to deaccession a piece should
 be reviewed by the Fayetteville Arts Council and/or City Council or Mayor.

Artist Involvement
The Fayetteville Arts Council and Public Art Staff will make reasonable effort to involve the artist (or
artist’s estate) in the decision to deaccession a work of art and in some cases, the Fayetteville Arts
Council may require formal permission of the artist before considering removal from the collection.
Before deaccessioning any artwork, the City shall comply with all terms and conditions relating to
deaccession which are found in the acquisition contract or any other agreement which may exist
between the artist and the City of Fayetteville.

  Deaccession Request
A deaccessioning process must take place during a regular Fayetteville Arts Council meeting. During
this meeting, a deaccession request will be considered. The deaccession request shall contain the
following information:
 o The reason for deaccession.
 o The estimated current value of the artwork.
 o The acquisition method and cost, including a summary of any terms of the gift agreement,
 will, contract, or other relevant document(s) relating to the deaccessioning.
 o Details of the artist’s (or artist’s estate) involvement and/or approval.
 o For artwork acquired as a gift/donation, a statement that the donor has been notified or an
 explanation of why that was not possible.
 o If needed, a written evaluation from disinterested and qualified professionals, such as an
 engineer, conservator, architect, safety expert, or art historian may be considered.
 o Photographs that depict the current condition of the artwork.
 o Artist’s contract or any other relevant agreement concerning the artist’s rights.
 o When deemed necessary, written recommendations of other concerned parties, including
 Fayetteville community members, the artist, or an outside party.
 o Estimated timeframe and cost to deinstalling the artwork and identification of the funding

 Account.


Public Input and Deaccession
The Arts and Culture Division Staff shall also submit the deaccession report to City departments so that
they may provide any feedback on the deaccession. This deaccession report will be made public as part
of the Fayetteville Arts Council agenda materials posted prior to the official meeting where a deaccession
vote will occur.

● The public shall be encouraged to attend and comment on the deaccession. Written
 correspondence concerning the artwork can also be submitted for consideration by the
 Fayetteville Arts Council.
● Discussion of the recommendation with the artist if he/she/they can be notified by reasonable
 means.
After public input, the Fayetteville Arts Council, by a majority vote of its members will have the final
decision on the deaccession of the artwork and removal from the collection. If a decision is controversial
the recommendation Fayetteville Arts Council may be appealed to City Council and they may vote to : a)
accept the recommendations; b) reject the recommendations; or c) delay the decision and request
more information.



Disposition/Removal from the Collection

Upon approval of the deaccession, the artwork will be removed and relocated to its final disposition.
Any agreements between the artist and the City regarding removal or resale will be honored. To the
extent removal is not addressed by a contract, the City may choose to use any of the following methods
to remove public art that was deaccessioned, in accordance with City policy:

 o Return of the artwork to the artist, including all ownership of the material and copyright of
 the artwork. This method is preferred, and the artist shall have the first right to refuse this
 offer. Other methods of removal from the collection, as described below, will be considered
 after notice of refusal by the artist is received or it has been determined the artist is unable
 to do so.
 o Return to the donor.
 o Gift the artwork to another cultural, scientific, educational or government institution or a
 non-profit organization wherein the artwork may serve the purpose for which it was
 originally acquired by the City.
o Trade or exchange the artwork through an artist, gallery, museum, or other institutions for
 one or more other public artwork(s) of comparable value.
o Offer the artwork for sale through a public auction or public sale that will best protect the
 interest, objectives, and legal status of the City. Proceeds from such sales will be designated
 for the exclusive purpose of acquisition or preservation and conservation of the City’s public
 art collection.
o Artwork will not be given or sold privately to present or former City of Fayetteville
 employees, Fayetteville Arts Council members, committee members, volunteers or current
 elected officials or to their representatives or immediate family members.
o Destruction or recycling of materials that the public art was constructed with should only be
 used as a last resort after considering all other possible methods, or if the artwork has been
 damaged or deteriorated to the point of not being useful for disposition in any of the above
 methods. Artwork that has been deemed harmful and presents a clear danger to human
 contact will be destroyed according to local laws.
o Any other option deemed appropriate by the Fayetteville Arts Council and City Staff.
Dear Commissioners,
On behalf of the Fayetteville Arts Council, we write to express our strong support for the
continued use of the Walker Stone House as a space dedicated to the public good—specifically
in support of community-based arts and cultural programming.
The Folk School of Fayetteville has exemplified what is possible when a historically significant
structure is activated in service to culture, community, and creativity. The programming there
filled a unique gap in our local arts ecosystem, offering accessible, intergenerational, and
community-rooted opportunities for music education, performance, and connection.
As you consider the future of this site, we urge you to recognize the rare and critical role it plays
in the cultural landscape. There are very few spaces in downtown Fayetteville that could offer
additional space for community arts centered programming—and as the city grows, preserving
spaces for that purpose is essential. Continued use of the Walker Stone House for such public-
serving initiatives—whether under a Folk School banner or a new steward—would preserve the
momentum built over the past several years and ensure that this civic asset remains an engine of
creative community life.
Thank you for your ongoing commitment to supporting the arts in Fayetteville.
Sincerely,
(whomever you all wish to send this)
Fayetteville Arts Council


CC: Mayor Molly Rawn,
