The growing collection is a civic resource, diverse in expression and form, and an integral part of everyday life for residents and visitors to Auburn. The “Vision/Mission” statement for the program, written by the Auburn Arts Commission, states: Created in 1988 as part of the City of Auburn Arts Commission’s roster of multi-disciplinary cultural arts programs, Art in Public Places Program is a municipally sponsored and administered public art program. Auburn’s Art in Public Places Program is the thread that connects art, people and place. The program seeks to draw residents and visitors together; to echo a sense of time and place; and to enrich the experience that is distinctively Auburn. Through the acquisition of original artworks of definable artistic and aesthetic merit, and the maintenance of the established collection, the program is an integral component of the City’s intent to sustain Auburn as a vital place to live, work and visit. From its inception, the program has operated without written policy, procedure, guidelines, or master plan for continued development, maintenance or legal mandate. In 2007, the Cultural Arts Staff, Arts Commission and Planning and Community Development Council Committee began a process of drafting a comprehensive plan, policy and legal directives to ensure the program continues to grow, evolve, and remain sustainable. This document is the first draft in that goal. п¹»î±ºíèÝ®»¿¬»¼Ö«´§îððç ß«¾«®²ß®¬·²Ð«¾´·½Ð´¿½»­ 2.0 AUBURN PUBLIC ART COLLECTION DEVELOPMENT, 1988 to PRESENT 2.1 The following artworks were added to the City’s collection prior to 1988 and the creation of a Public Art Program: YEAR ARTIST TITLE LOCATION (unknown) C.Ehle Lt.

Goals proposed by a Review Committee were as follows: Develop purpose/mission statement for Public Art Program Review selection and purchase/commission procedure. Develop maintenance policy Develop 3-5 year plan for acquisition of new works Identify sites for new works The committee found the program to be of continued benefit to the community and determined the collection creates a sense of place for visitors and residents, and developed the tagline for the program, “the tie which binds the city together.” Looking ahead, the program review stated the following: Artworks shall be a reflection of uniqueness and diversity of Auburn п¹»ì±ºíèÝ®»¿¬»¼Ö«´§îððç ß«¾«®²ß®¬·²Ð«¾´·½Ð´¿½»­ Expand opportunities for residents and visitors to experience various forms of art in public places. The commission of new artworks for the collection is collaboration between the artist’s expression and the public’s interaction with the work. Artwork shall invite the public to interact and participate with artwork, as well as the public place in which it is sited. Seek collaboration between artists, architects and engineers through integrated construction projects, both public and private. Promote the program as a component of civic vitality and neighborhood development and expansion. 2.3.21994-1999 Five Year Plan : The committee determined potential sites for public artworks that are heavily populated, traveled or used and have the potential to enhance the environment, create sense of place and foster appreciation of various forms of art. Those sites included: south side of E. Main Street, W. Main Street, Municipal Services Bldg and Green River Trail Storm-water Detention, North wall of E St. NE; A & C St. Corridors; Gateway Signage; Auburn General Hospital, Transit Station; Completion of BNRR Bridge, Sculpture Garden, Airport, 2 or 3-dimensional artworks for new construction or remodel of municipal or public buildings. A couple of the proposed projects and/or sites listed in the plan were completed. The other opportunities were pursued.

It can also be incorporated into the very design of a building or object, such as: a manhole cover, paving pattern, lighting, seating, building facade, kiosk, gate, fountain, or play equipment. Public artists work in all kinds of mediums: bronze, engraving, carving, fresco, mobile, collage, mosaic, tapestry, photograph, drawing, or earthwork to name a few. Public art can be permanent or temporary. The following are the recommendations of the City of Auburn Arts Commission as to what can be considered “public art” in Auburn: 4.1 City of Auburn Commissioned Original Artworks: A unique work of art, specifically designed for, or integral to the site for which it is to be permanently displayed. Commissioned artwork types include: Integrated Artwork: 4.1.1This type of project allows the artist(s) work to be integrated into environmental and or architectural design. Artists are included a member of the design team (architects, engineers, landscape architects, etc) in the first stages of conceptualizing a project, but are contracted separately. They are report to both the capital project lead and the cultural arts staff. The artist(s) remain on contract as artwork project manager through fabrication and installation. This type of art project is often able to “capture” construction costs, which allows the artist to extend their budget for the project. Funding for this type of project is provided for this type of project through Resolution No. 4323-- Percent for Art. øåüðíñøêðÏØÐÎÊÄÏØjÊîÍÈÊüÈÛÈËÏñÔÛË¿®§ô ¿²¼ ¬¸» ¿®¬ °®±¶»½¬ º±® ß«¾«®² ݱ³³«²·¬§ Ý»²¬»® ø·² °®±¹®»­­÷ò Later Phase, or Non-Integrated Artwork ìòïòî : This type of project is typically designed after-the-fact, or separately from a capital or environmental project.

From 1988 to 2007, funding for this type of project was appropriated out of REET of a maximum of $30,000. Since 2007, two projects received approved funding through a special budget request approval process. øåüðíñøêüÐÜÓÎËÔÉÄÎ×üÈÛÈËÏjÊÍÈÛÑÔÚ¿®¬ ½±´´»½¬·±² ·­ ½±²­·¼»®»¼ ¿ ´¿¬»® °¸¿­»ô Ò±²óײ¬»¹®¿¬»¼ °®±¶»½¬ò Ê»®§ ¹±±¼ »¨¿³°´»­ ±º ¬¸·­ ¿®» ¬¸» ¬©± ½»³»¬»®§ ¿®¬ ©±®µ­æ з±²»»® Ý»³»¬»®§ Ù¿¬» ¿²¼ ̸» Ô±²¹ Ô±±µ ø¿½®±­­ º®±³ Ó±«²¬¿·² Ê·»© Ý»³»¬»®§÷ò (It is important to note “later phase, non-integrated” artwork is very successful. derogatory term However, a for later phase, non-integrated art works is, “plop art.” This term connotes that the artwork is inappropriate to its surroundings, that is, it has been thoughtlessly “plopped” where it stands. The artworks in Auburn’s collection are specifically designed for the site on which they are installed (or, “site specific,”). 4.2 Non-commissioned or Other Artworks: Not all art work must be specifically commissioned to be a part of a public art program. The following are recommended types of other public artworks: Temporary Art Work Displays - 4.2.1These projects are not commissioned, permanent or integrated; they are stand-alone pieces. Several artworks are acquired together, either from one artist or several. Artworks are leased or are loaned for a determined length of time, typically for several months up to one year. A theme is typically used, or a specific locale where the artworks will be displayed. Other criterion can be determined as to the type and scale of artworks, whether the artworks are for sale or not, are part of an outdoor gallery or pedestrian walk-way, etc. ÛÈßÓÐÔÛÍæ Ý·¬§ ±º Þ«®·»² ¿²¼ Þñ×ÑÍ ß®¬ Ю±¶»½¬å Ы§¿´´«° Ы¾´·½ ß®¬ Ù¿´´»®§ô Կݱ²²±® ú Ó»®½»® ×­´¿²¼ Ы¾´·½ ß®¬ É¿´µ Ù¿´´»®·»­ò “Other” Temporary Art Projects - 4.2.1.1Public artworks do not have to be literally defined as sculpture or a mural. 1) Limited-time temporary displays, designed to be installed, or erected, for only a few hours øÛ¨¿³°´»æ ß °¿®¬·½·°¿¬±®§ ­·¼»©¿´µ ÚÕÜÑÒÜËÉÚÎÐÍØÉÔÉÔÎÏÎËÊÔÏÖÑØÜËÉÔÊÉÔÏÊÉÜÑÑÜÉÔÎÏëØÏÉÎÏjÊùÎÆÏÉÎÆÏ ß®¬ É¿´µæ ÉßÎÓÌØóÙ·¿²¬ Þ´¿½µ ̱±¾­ ¿¬ ß®¬Î¿¹»±«­÷ 2) “Site specific” performances, which are those performances that tap into surrounding environment, inside or outside, as the “stage.” øÅÜÐÍÑØ úÈÑÉÈËØjÊêÔÉØêÍØÚÔ×ÔÚ Ò»¬©±®µ ±º °»®º±®³·²¹ ¿®¬·­¬­ ©¸± ÍËØÊØÏÉÜÆÔÙØÇÜËÔØÉÄÎ×ÍØË×ÎËÐÜÏÚØmÔÏÊÉÜÑÑÜÉÔÎÏÊl Rotating Art Works - ìòîòî Typically, these are artworks in 2-Dimensional media (a framed painting, for example) that would be sited inside public buildings. These artworks are not always permanently sited in one location, but rotated (hence, “portable”) to other similar public buildings in order to maximize exposure of the location. These works could be acquired through a purchase award program, gifting, or from the existing public art budget.

For example, the court yard of a multiple-family residence, such as an apartment complex, that is only accessible to tenants and/or owners; “Staff/Authorized Personnel Only” access in public buildings. 5.0 ACCESSION AND DEACCESSION OF PUBLIC ARTWORKS The “accession” of artwork is official policy and procedure of acquisitioning new public artworks into the City’s art collection and ownership. The “deaccession” of artwork is the official policy, terms and conditions under which an artwork can be relocated or removed from City property. 5.1 ACCESSION OF ARTWORK The purpose of accessioning artwork into the Collection is to apply professional standards of care, display, and maintenance over the life of the artwork, or until the artwork is no longer displayable and is “deaccessioned” from the Collection. 5.1.1 All artworks must be acquired through the Public Art Selection Process before formal accession into the City of Auburn Art in Public Places Program 5.1.2 Artworks will be accessioned into the Collection only upon completion of the commissioning or purchasing contract. 5.1.3 The artist’s signed contract transferring title for the artwork and clearly defining the rights and responsibilities of all parties will accompany every acquisition 1 N ot all gifted artworks will meet the Accession criterion. Therefore, it is the Arts Commission’s recommendation that the City establish an adjunct Gift Acceptance Policy, separate from the Public Art Program that defines the terms under which the City Council or Mayor may accept gifts on the behalf of the City. п¹»ïﱺíèÝ®»¿¬»¼Ö«´§îððç ß«¾«®²ß®¬·²Ð«¾´·½Ð´¿½»­ 5.2 DEACCESSION OF ARTWORK The deaccessioning of artwork is the removal of an artwork from the Collection. This includes the removal of the artwork from its public site, removal from the maintenance cycle, and moving of records, both hard copy and electronic, into a Deaccessioned Collection file. 5.2.1 All costs associated with the deaccession of any artwork will be approved through Special Budget or Budget Adjustment Request on a per-project basis through the General Fund. Monies dedicated to the acquisition and maintenance of artworks do not qualify for costs associated with deaccession of artwork. 5.2.2 An artwork may not be deaccessioned based on content, subject matter or use of materials. It is assumed the artwork has been vetted through approved Public Art Selection Process which outlines such issues before the artwork is approved for development/fabrication/installation and accessioned into the collection. An artwork may be considered for deaccession only under the following 5.2.3 conditions: Theft of the artwork Damage beyond reasonable repair, and/or artwork is damaged to the extent that it no longer represents the artist’s intent, and/or it is damaged to the extent that the expenses of restoration and repair are found to equal or exceed current market value of the artwork. Portable artwork is not, or is only rarely, on display due to lack of a suitable site. For site-integrated or site-specific artworks, the site for which the artwork was specifically created is structurally or otherwise altered and can no longer accommodate the artwork, is made publicly inaccessible as a result of new construction, demolition, or security enhancement, or has its surrounding environment altered in a way that significantly and adversely impacts the artwork. For site-integrated or site-specific artworks, the site for which the artwork was specifically created is sold or acquired by an entity other than City of Auburn. There is a documented history of incident(s) that shows the artwork is a threat to public safety. The artist legally exercises the Right of Disassociation granted by the Visual Artists Rights Act of 1990, preventing the use of his or her name as the creator of the artwork. The artwork requires excessive maintenance to the extent that the expenses are found to equal or exceed current market value of the artwork. The City wishes to replace the artwork with another work by the same artist. п¹»ïíèÝ®»¿¬»¼Ö«´§îððç ß«¾«®²ß®¬·²Ð«¾´·½Ð´¿½»­ At the time of accessioning, complete information on the provenance of the artwork was not available, or more information has since become available, indicating that the artwork should not be part of the City of Auburn Public Art Collection. Process of Deaccession 5.3.3: At the conclusion of the annual Maintenance Survey, staff will prepare a recommendation for deaccession of artworks, if any, from the Collection for review and evaluation by the Auburn Arts Commission for recommendation to Mayor and City Council for action. At a regularly scheduled Art Commission meeting, the Cultural Arts Staff will present reports on artworks to consider for deaccession. The Commission may decide to seek additional information and/or designate an advisory panel composed of visual arts and other qualified professionals. The report will include: Reasons for the suggested deaccession accompanied by such other documentation and information as may be relevant. Acquisition method, cost, and estimated current market value. Documentation of correspondence with the artist regarding the above. Photo documentation of site conditions, if applicable. In the case of damage, a report that documents the original cost of the artwork, estimated market value, and the estimated cost of repair. In the case of theft, an official police report and a report prepared by the agency responsible for the site of the loss. Artists whose work is being considered for deaccession shall be notified by mail using the current address provided by the artist. In the event the artist disagrees with the decision of the City of Auburn to deaccession their artwork, the artist may request reconsideration of the deaccession. This request must be filed in writing within 30 days of the Art Commission’s deaccession recommendation to Mayor and Council and subsequent notification of such to the artist. The artist’s request for reconsideration must be based on information that was not considered during the Commission’s meeting on the deaccession. Decision to deaccession artwork 5.4.3: The decision to remove an artwork is the result of a majority vote by the City of Auburn Art Commission for recommendation to Mayor and City Council for action. Upon this decision to deaccession artwork, the Commission will consider what action should be taken, with priority given to public benefit of the Collection. Every step will be taken to arrive at a mutual balance between observing the rights of the artist and public benefit. Actions in order of priority: Trade through artist, gallery, museum, or other institutions for one or more other artwork(s) of comparable value by the same artist. Long term/indefinite/permanent loan to museum collection or governmental agency. Sale through art auction, art gallery, dealer, or direct bidding by individuals. The original artist shall have first right of refusal to purchase his or her п¹»ïí±ºíèÝ®»¿¬»¼Ö«´§îððç ß«¾«®²ß®¬·²Ð«¾´·½Ð´¿½»­ artwork at its current market value. Any pre-existing contractual agreements between the artist and the City of Auburn regarding resale shall be honored. In special situations, the City of Auburn can negotiate the transfer of ownership an artwork to another entity. For site-integrated or site-specific artworks, when the site for which the artwork was specifically created is sold or acquired by an entity other than City of Auburn, the ownership of the artwork can transfer to that entity. Artwork in the Public Art Collection should be in excellent condition, ready to exhibit and continue to reflect the artist’s original intent. Should the artwork selected for transfer need to be repaired cleaned, or restored, the negotiated transfer will include conservation provisions and, unless negotiated otherwise, the receiving entity pays for the restoration. The receiving entity should have an art plan that defines their commitment to the artist and the continued care of the artwork. The Personal Property and Inventory Control for the City will be notified after the City Council’s action regarding deaccessioned artworks. All proceeds from the sale of any artwork from the City of Auburn Art in Public Places Program shall be deposited in the Public Art Capital Fund. Funds from artwork sales may be used in the manner consistent with the enabling policy for the Public Art Program. The artwork, or its remains, shall be disposed of by the City of Auburn, or its agents, upon final deaccession action. It is the obligation of the City of Auburn to ensure that all disposals with regard to the Collection be formally and publicly conducted and adequately documented. A permanent record of the artwork’s inclusion in the City of Auburn Public Art Collection, and reasons for its removal, shall be maintained in a Deaccessioned Collection file, and will be kept as a separate section of the City of Auburn Art in Public Places Program records. No artworks shall be sold or traded to staff of the City of Auburn or members of the City of Auburn Arts Commission or City Council, consistent with City of Auburn conflict of interest policies. 6.0 ART SELECTION PROCESS The persons assigned the task and responsibility to select a public art project, a site for a public artwork and the artist, or artist team for a public art project for the City of Auburn will adhere to the following policy and procedures. 6.1 IDENTIFY OPPORTUNITY FOR PUBLIC ART On an annual basis, the City of Auburn Arts Commission will submit a list of potential sites and/or opportunities for a public artwork. The tools and process used to identify opportunity for artwork are defined in 1) Resolution No.4323-Percent for Art 2) Ordinance No. 6243-Privately Developed Public Artworks Guidelines 3) Art in Public Places Program Vision and Mission 4) Public Artwork Three-to-Five Year Plan. п¹»ï챺íèÝ®»¿¬»¼Ö«´§îððç ß«¾«®²ß®¬·²Ð«¾´·½Ð´¿½»­ Cultural Arts Staff will confirm available budget for each proposed site and/or art project and timing of when funds will be available for qualifying projects under Res. No. 4323 or through General Fund appropriation. The timing of funds will dictate when art projects can be initiated. 6.2 SITE EVALUATION FOR ARTWORK The Arts Commission Public Art Committee will outline the goals for an art project, including goals outlined by the participating department, if applicable. The Committee will make its recommendation to the Arts Commission who will, in turn, make recommendation to Mayor and City Council for action. Site selection should include the following: 6.2.1 Appropriateness of the artwork to the site shall be considered in respect to Art in Public Places vision, mission and goals, including but not limited to its social, cultural, historical and physical context, potential community partnership and relationship to the Public Art Collection as a whole. 6.2.2 A site must be in an area that is open and freely accessible to the public, or displayed in a manner which otherwise provides public viewing. 6.2.3 Complete dimensions of the site area or site plans, including existing and proposed buildings and structures; existing and proposed street dedications and improvements thereon, including the location and nature of all street improvements in the public right-of-way; easements; location of all utility services; existing and proposed yards and spaces between buildings and structures. 6.2.4 A landscape plan showing the location of the trees and shrubs (proposed to be removed, retained, or installed), the amount, height, type, and location of landscaped areas, planting beds, and plant materials, and provisions for irrigation; existing and proposed walls, fences, and landscaping, including the location, height, area, color, nature, and type of design and material composition for walls and fences 6.2.5 All existing and proposed lighting, including the location and general nature of both off-site and on-site lighting, the proposed intensity thereof, and the diffusion thereof. 6.2.6 Integrated artwork sites must include architectural drawings, renderings, or sketches showing all elevations of the proposed buildings, structures. 6.2.7 The committee must also establish an appropriate method of Accession, which can include open competition, invitation, or direct purchase and/or “type” of artwork (permanent vs. temporary; two-dimensional vs. three-dimensional). 6.2.8 Based upon the budget, the committee will develop a realistic project scope, and determine if the budget is sufficient to warrant advertising for artists locally, regionally, nationally or internationally. 6.2.9 Prepare and oversee the writing, printing and distribution of the project prospectus. п¹»ï뱺íèÝ®»¿¬»¼Ö«´§îððç ß«¾«®²ß®¬·²Ð«¾´·½Ð´¿½»­ 6.3 ART PROJECT SELECTION PROCESS Art selection is, in part, a subjective process. The value of every work of art is in the eye, ear and soul of the individual viewing it. A single work of art can engender a wide range of responses in the population viewing it. Because of this, members of the Review Panel must, at all times, remember that they represent the public. They should understand these issues and strive to maintain a balance in their selection of art works. The selection process recognizes the First Amendment which promises artist freedom of expression. The City of Auburn reserves the right to not select any artwork at the point of Accession if it is determined not reflect the values of the community or meet all requirements outlined in the Public Art Plan and Art in Public Places vision, mission and goals. Once a site or capital project and funds have been approved by Mayor and City Council, Arts Commission and Cultural Arts Staff will do the following: 6.3.1 Draft a Project Timeline, budget and scope of work in consultation with other City departments or private entities where required or applicable. 6.3.2 Draft a Call to Artists for application for the project using one of a variety of methods most appropriate to the specific project (Open Call, Invite Only, Call for Proposal, Call for Qualifications) and 6.3.3 Create a selection review panel who will serve on the panel for the duration of one project of up to seven (7) members appointed by Cultural Arts Staff and Arts Commission. This panel will include a member of the Arts Commission, a working artist (preferably a public artist), a community stakeholder, an architect or engineer from the capital project’s design team (where applicable), City staff representative from the department with the qualifying project (where applicable), City Council Member (where applicable) and at least (2) alternates. The Cultural Arts Staff will serve as non-voting moderator and will make recommendation when appropriate. The selection review panel will: 6.3.4 Work within the project parameters established by the project budget, project location, and goals for artwork as approved. 6.3.5 Be responsible for reviewing artist proposals and recommending a final selection of artist or artist team for a project. 6.3.6 Select works of art or proposed commissions that are technically feasible to produce and display. 6.3.7 In the case of selecting an artist to serve on a design team, the committee must· determine whether the artist has the necessary experience desired to make a positive contribution to the project. 6.3.8 Reserve the option of making no selection if the panel determines proposals do not meet acceptable requirements outlined in the Prospectus/Call to Artist. In such a case, the panel must provide a recommendation of how alternately to proceed, either by re-opening the Call, or by some other method of accession that will meet the requirements outlined in the Project Timeline. 6.3.9 Approve artists and/or art selections by a majority vote and present the recommendations to the Arts Commission. п¹»ï걺íèÝ®»¿¬»¼Ö«´§îððç ß«¾«®²ß®¬·²Ð«¾´·½Ð´¿½»­ 6.4 ART SELECTION CRITERIA Artworks may be acquired through a variety of methods, which include, but are not limited to: Commission of a new artwork, purchase of existing works, gift to collection and temporary loan. Each method must follow similar criteria in order to become a part of the Art in Public Places Program. 6.5 Accepted works of art shall be of exceptional quality and enduring value as determined by the Cultural Arts Staff, Arts Commission and, if the City contracts with an Independent Entity, by the Independent Entity. Artistic excellence is represented the artists’ aesthetic vision, practical skill and competence, and whose work can generally be considered an example of artistic excellence. The definition of artistic excellence changes over time, but the collection should always be representative of the best examples available. 6.6 All works of art must adhere to the Public Art Plan and Art in Public Places vision, mission and goals. 6.7 The composition of the artwork shall be of a permanent type of material in order to be durable against vandalism, theft and weather, and require a reasonable level of maintenance. 6.8 The artwork shall be related in terms of scale, material, form and content to immediate and adjacent buildings and landscaping so that it complements the site and surrounding environment. 6.9 The artwork shall be designed and constructed by persons experienced in the production of such artwork and recognized by critics or by peers as one who produces works of art. 6.10 Non-commissioned artworks must be authenticated as original and created by the artist for whom it is attributed to. Non-commissioned works may be an authorized reproduction of an original, if deemed appropriate by Review Panel and Arts Commission for the scope of the art project. Unauthorized copies or reproductions are not acceptable. In cases where the authenticity of a piece can reasonably be questioned, it must be authenticated before accession. 6.11 The artwork shall be consistent with the scope of project recommendation of the Arts Commission and subsequent approval by the City Council. 6.12 Commissioned artworks must go through a two-phased process, the first being the presentation of proposed concept(s) and the second when the design has been decided. 6.12.1 Each phase will be reviewed first by Selection Review Panel for recommendation to the Arts Commission and then presentation to the appropriate Council Committee(s) who will recommend for Council action. 6.12.2 As conditions, market shifts and other extenuating circumstances arise, design alterations may become necessary. Any significant and necessary alteration after design approval by Council must be reviewed again for “change order” approval by the City. 6.13 “Non-commissioned” artworks may qualify to be a part of the City’s Public Art Collection. Acceptance of the artwork into the program will, as with all artworks, be determined through the established Accession of Artwork and Artwork Selection Policy and Procedure. п¹»ï鱺íèÝ®»¿¬»¼Ö«´§îððç ß«¾«®²ß®¬·²Ð«¾´·½Ð´¿½»­ 6.13.1 A special panel or committee may be convened to seek out and review available artworks for sale through professional galleries, art brokers or directly through the artist for recommendation to the Arts Commission. 6.13.2 Artworks may be purchased from the Arts Commission annual exhibits of art, or by a “purchase award” exhibit program (Example: Puyallup Public Art Gallery, City of Kent’s annual Juried Art Exhibit and Purchase Award Program). 6.13.3 A Proposal to Purchase Artwork must be drafted for Art Accession processes, outlining available funds, cost of the artwork, cost of maintenance, site selection and how the artwork meets all other Accession of Artwork criteria for final approval by City Council. 6.14 A donor may make a proposal of a gift of art to the City to include in its Art in Public Places Program. Acceptance of the artwork into the program will, as with all artworks, be determined through the established Accession of Artwork Policy and Procedure. 6.14.1 Donors must submit a Letter of Intent to Donate Artwork to the City of Auburn with the, artist name, biography or resume, title of the artwork, medium, size/dimensions, date of creation/fabrication and estimated value. Donors are encouraged to include a statement as to why they wish the artwork to be included in the Art in Public Places Program. 6.14.2 Donor may suggest a preferred site for the proposed gift, but artworks cannot be accepted under the condition of guaranteed and/or permanent siting of the artwork, should it be accepted into the Art in Public Place Program. Such requests will be taken only under recommendation for consideration. 6.14.3 If the proposed gift is to be a memorial it must first go through Parks Board review process for Memorials before review for Accession of Artwork. 6.14.4 The Cultural Arts Staff and Arts Commission will acknowledge receipt of Intent to Donate Artwork and include an outline of Art Accession Policy and an estimate of a date of acceptance or rejection, and other conditions for consideration that might be applicable. 6.14.5 The City and/or Staff and/or Commission may ask to view the actual artwork. If it is not feasible or possible to view the artwork, the Commission may recommend not considering the gift. 6.14.6 A review panel will be convened to determine acceptance of the artwork and Cultural Arts Staff will determine available funds for site preparation and/or installation requirements. 6.14.7 If the artwork is recommended to Council for Accession, Cultural Arts Staff and/or Arts Commission must include a proposed site for the artwork, maintenance plan, installation requirements and any funding required in order to meet all requirements of Accession of Artwork. A professional appraisal shall be conducted by a qualified 6.14.7.1 conservator of public artworks. 6.14.7.2 Artworks accepted must have install preparation conducted by Cultural Arts Staff, including proper mounting apparatus or archival framing. п¹»ï豺íèÝ®»¿¬»¼Ö«´§îððç ß«¾«®²ß®¬·²Ð«¾´·½Ð´¿½»­ 6.14.8 If the gift of artwork is rejected, the Arts Commission must prepare a letter to the Donor and City Council outlining the specific reasons why the artwork does not meet one or any of the mission or goals outlined in the Art in Public Places Program or Art Accession criteria. 6.15 Temporary Displays ø°±´·½§ ´¿²¹«¿¹» ·² °®±½»­­ ¿­ ±º ß«¹«­¬ îððç÷ 7.0 PUBLIC ART COLLECTION MANAGEMENT The City of Art in Public Places Program has an obligation to assure the safety and preservation of its artworks and art site as it relates to the artwork. The City of Auburn Cultural Arts, Parks and/or Construction Inspection Staff will review all artworks for safe exhibition, public interaction and/or use, and transport. Evaluation of the Collection will be conducted through annual condition surveys and conservation activity. All information with regard to accessioned artworks shall be maintained in an accurate, orderly and retrievable form. All artworks accessioned into the collection will be documented in the following manner: 7.1 The artwork will be catalogued with accession number, determined by year of accession and sequence of placement into the collection. 7.2 Maintenance will be recommended by the artist, per contract requirement, evaluated by City staff and other qualified professional and documented properly in the artwork’s file. 7.3 A hard file, with Accession Number, a copy of pertinent contract information, maintenance scheduling, and information about the artist, including current address, and a site contact person if artwork is not located on City property shall be established. 7.4 Property Control Inventory of Artworks : All accessioned portable artworks shall be assigned a Property Control Tag number in compliance with the City of Auburn policy. Property Control tags will be applied to all portable artworks, except in the cases where the application of such tags compromises the safety, integrity, or conservation of the artwork. In such case, the Property Control tag will be kept in the hard file for the object in the City of Auburn Parks, Arts & Recreation offices. All accessioned artworks integral to the design and construction of a building or facility will be assigned a Property Control Tag and number. The Property Control tag will be kept in the hard file for the artwork in the City of Auburn Public Art Program offices 7.5 Photographic documentation of the artwork for the purpose of file information only. Artworks having multiple pieces or intricate parts are required to have additional documentation. Photographic documentation will also be placed in the file after extensive maintenance, remodeling, or cleaning of an artwork. 7.6 A written report by the project manager shall accompany all acquisitions and shall include the following: A statement from the artist outlining the intention, aesthetic, symbolism, and cultural or ethnic basis of the artwork, as applicable. п¹»ï籺íèÝ®»¿¬»¼Ö«´§îððç ß«¾«®²ß®¬·²Ð«¾´·½Ð´¿½»­ “Care and Information sheet” completed by the artist, with specifications regarding specialty materials, paints, grouts, tiles, etc., used in creating the artwork, to assist in any maintenance and/or replacement artwork. A statement describing intended public access, site relation, longevity, jurisdictional information, selection method, funding sources, and identifying all parties on record. Any and all negotiated agreements with other City or non-City agencies and/or entities. Definitions of Maintenance: REGULAR MAINTENANCE: The upkeep of the visual aspect of an artwork, including dusting, surface cleaning, continued visibility (as it pertains to overgrowth of vegetation, for example) and intended use, generally monitored by City staff and/or the client agency. STEWARDSHIP: The responsibility for the integrity of artwork in terms of record keeping, provenance, including display and/or loan of artworks and images, visual documentation and use of said documentation to represent the original artwork and the City of Auburn Public Art Collection. Stewardship also implies a respect to the intentions of the principal partners in the commission or purchase of the artwork including the artist, client agency, and the mission of the City of Auburn Public Art Program. EXTRAORDINARY MAINTENANCE: The upkeep of structural aspects of an artwork, including integrity of overall surface (which may include paint, sealant and/or finishes), internal skeleton or surfaces, replacement or recreation of individual elements, and changes in the immediate environs of a work, generally overseen by the Public Art Program staff. EXCEPTIONAL MAINTENANCE: The City of Auburn Public Art Program recognizes that some artworks need exceptional, ongoing maintenance, beyond the scope of the annual maintenance survey. This commitment must be approved before such artworks are accessioned. MAINTENANCE STANDARDS: When artworks are found to be in need of repair, relocation, restoration or conservation, the City of Auburn Public Art Program shall be responsible for taking corrective action, and for assuring that the maintenance work is undertaken in accordance with appropriate professional standards. Non-integrated artworks will be sited appropriately with preservation and conservation as a significant consideration. Artworks may be removed if site changes compromise the safety or integrity of the artwork. Integrated artworks and Artist Made Building Parts will be accessioned to the Collection only after a clear written agreement of partnership is forged between the client agency and the City of Auburn Public Art Program to determine appropriate standards of maintenance. п¹»îð±ºíèÝ®»¿¬»¼Ö«´§îððç ß«¾«®²ß®¬·²Ð«¾´·½Ð´¿½»­ ßËÞËÎÒßÎÌ×ÒÐËÞÔ×ÝÐÔßÝÛÍ ÌØÎÛÛ¬±Ú×ÊÛÇÛßÎ ßÎÌÉÑÎÕÜÛÊÛÔÑÐÓÛÒÌÐÔßÒ Ù±±¼¿®¬·­²±¬©¸¿¬·¬´±±µ­´·µ»ô¾«¬©¸¿¬·¬¼±»­¬±«­ò α§ß¼¦¿µ 8.0 INTRODUCTION The Public Art Development Plan is a long-range reference document, updated annually by Cultural Arts Staff and Arts Commission and submitted to City Council for approval, outlining: 9.0 Art Zones 10.0 Unifying Themes 11.0 SAMPLE: Qualifying Capital Projects By identifying the natural and nurtured features of Auburn, and the particular neighborhoods and various locales that define the City’s character, the Arts Commission can meet the Art in Public Places Mission and Vision statements (See page 2). The Arts Commission intends for all public artworks to be an integral component and a reflection of civic identity and vitality. 9.0 ART ZONES: THE SUM OF AUBURN’S PARTS Every neighborhood, or area of Auburn has its own character, history and vision of itself as defined by the people who live, work, learn and play within its boundaries, or through the natural environment that defines its landscape. In order to meet the goal of bringing art out into each area within the City and reflect the uniqueness of each area, the Arts Commission has devised five “art zones” within the City limits: 9.1 Downtown Art Zone - Immediate Priority Using the “Downtown Urban Center Zone” map developed by the Planning Department, the Downtown Art Zone is a specialized area that will feature artworks that are an integral component of the City’s overall design plans and standards set forth for the area. Taking (See Attachment E) a cue from the Downtown Urban Center Design Standards and in (See Attachment F) particular, the Auburn Junction Design Guidelines , each proposed artwork will reflect the goals and design guidelines set forth in these documents, as well as support the Art in Public Places own mission/purpose and the artworks already sited in the downtown core. 9.2 The Four Corners Art Zones Lea Hill, West Hill, the Valley Floor, Lakeland Hills, Muckleshoot Reservation, A Street Corridor, Auburn Way Corridor are just a few of the areas that maintain their own distinct identity. Through public art, Auburn can tell the story and celebrate these places. п¹»îﱺíèÝ®»¿¬»¼Ö«´§îððç ß«¾«®²ß®¬·²Ð«¾´·½Ð´¿½»­ Throughout the next three years, and working with either the City’s Community/ Neighborhood Liaison Staff and/or Planning Department, the Arts Commission will develop proposals for various public artworks that will be unique to each zone. Within each zone are a variety of potential locations that also offer particular opportunity for artworks. These proposals will be organized as to community impact and/or participation, priority, budget, and whether they may be funded through Resolution No. 4323, appropriation of general funds or public/private partnership through community grants or private funding opportunities.

To that purpose, the Arts Commission proposes artworks be developed from a common foundation. The following is a list of “unifying themes” that define Auburn and are intended to inform/inspire artistic (Also see Attachment G ) expression 10.1 Connections and Intersections: Auburn’s connection to the world: Examples “ include - Little Detroit;” Railway Hub; Industry (Boeing, Weyerhaeuser, Northern Clay Company); Farming and production; Auburn’s as part of in the South County Region (small city between dense populations and hub of its region). 10.2 Hometown: a place called home to peoples past, present and future: Examples include - Native American cultures; Nisei (Japanese-American populations); Pioneers; Labor and Tradesmen of the railroad; Farmers; Historic Main Street; Immigrants. 10.3 Natural World: Influence and importance of the natural world on our lives and landscape : Examples include - Two Rivers; Change of landscape through the years (saltwater bay, Green and White rivers diverging); Mt. Rainer; Agriculture (hops, strawberries); Topography (hills and valleys); “Flora & Fauna” specific to the region. 10.4 Community, Conversation and Coming Together : Examples include - Art Events; Temporary and/or interactive public artwork; Business/neighborhood sponsored outdoor sculpture gallery. 11.0 QUALIFYING CAPITAL PROJECTS AND POTENTIAL ART SITES Each public art proposal will specifically outline the art selection criterion for public artworks, funding requirements, project development timeline and a draft of a Call to Artist for approval by Mayor and City Council. These proposals will be presented annually for Council’s review and/or approval: 11.1 The City’s annually updated Capital Facilities Plan (CFP) will be the basis to determine (See qualifying art projects as defined by Resolution No. 4323-Percent for Art Funding. Attachment H). 11.2 A survey of each art zone will be conducted to determine potential sites, community partners and other opportunities for public art. п¹»îí±ºíèÝ®»¿¬»¼Ö«´§îððç ß«¾«®²ß®¬·²Ð«¾´·½Ð´¿½»­ ßÐÐÛÒÜ×ÈÌßÞÔÛÑÚÝÑÒÌÛÒÌÍ Attachment A - Ord.
