Current Percent for Art Projects
(Projects in the design and selection phase)
In the above projects, the selection of artists and art-work for the Public Art Program is designed to be both project-specific and community-based. If the budget available for the project is no more than $10,000, the project will usually be awarded as a direct commission. If the budget available for the project is more than $10,000, the project will be awarded through a competitive process as described in the Guidelines for the Chicago Public Art Program.
