Title
Public Art Collection Accession and Deaccession Policy Update
Body
________________________________________________________________________________
Executive Summary
The purpose of this agenda item is to provide the Commission with an update on the draft Public Art Collection Accession and Deaccession Policies. These policies will establish a framework for evaluating artwork proposed for the Town’s collection and considering the removal of artwork when appropriate.
Following the Commission’s October discussion, Chair Katie Gasper is incorporating commissioner feedback and compiling outstanding questions. Staff will then submit the revised drafts to the Town Attorney’s Office for review and comment, including consistency with existing Town policies and clarification of approval authority and procedures.
Following legal review, the policies will return to the Commission for further consideration and finalization at a future meeting, as the schedule allows.
This information is provided for awareness. No discussion or formal Commission action is scheduled.
