2.3 What is Public Art? <br /> The City of Hamilton defines public art as follows: <br /> Art ��Is oreated �by art��sts, or in <br /> W�Ith art�lsts, through a pU6�H�Ic process and ek�lst��Ing <br /> on a pU6�H��d��y access���6��b Q�Ity of owned <br /> propertyM, <br /> Public art is created with the intention of reflecting and engaging <br /> the community and has undergone a formal adjudicated selection <br /> process as per the City's Call for Artists Policy. (Appendix A). <br /> Public art can take a variety of forms and media; it may have <br /> functional as well as aesthetic qualities; it may be integrated into <br /> its site, or it may be a discrete piece; it can be permanent or <br /> temporary. <br /> 2.4 Public Art vs Art in Public Places <br /> Public Art as defined above is only one type of art that can be <br /> used to animate public places. There are other processes that <br /> businesses, community groups and the City can employ to <br /> commission art for public and publicly accessibly private property <br /> that are not selected through the formal City-led public art Call for <br /> Artists process. These types of projects include donated art, <br /> community art, integrated art, art on publicly accessible private <br /> property and memorials. <br /> While the Public Art Master Plan provides guidance for the <br /> commissioning and selection of "Public Art", it does not provide <br /> guidance for these other types of art in public places. Therefore <br /> this plan should be considered part of a larger Art in Public <br /> Places Policy, to be developed on 2017-18, that will provide <br /> guidance to and support the creation of a wider range of art <br /> projects in the public realm. <br /> City of Hamilton Public Art Master Plan 2016 <br />
