Research Abstract
Proposed Best Practices for Public Art Projects

In 2016, Americans for the Arts's Public Art Network Advisory Council issued a set statements that outlined a set best practices in the development of public art projects. The Proposed Best Practies  includes statments that support fair and equitable practices in artists selection processes to contracting statements to support of the Visual Artists' Rights Act (VARA). As outlined in the document " Throughout the United States, agencies and organizations have been using art to expand constituents’ experience of the public realm. With so many entities involved in managing public art projects in varying manners, the Public Art Network (PAN) Council and Americans for the Arts (AFTA) established these Best Practices out of a desire to establish a baseline for public art practices.  The starting place, or baseline stage, must provide general principles that are equally relevant and agreeable to administrators, artists and other public art professionals.  Once established, the baseline will provide a framework for more in-depth conversations to tease out the more complex underlying issues." "These Best Practices are specifically drafted with discourse in mind."
