The Public Art Planning Document (Planning Document) is a companion document to the Public Art Policy Document (Policy Document). The Policy Document, published in 2007 describes the basic structure of Denver’s Public Art Program and is a framework document that will change little from year to year. In contrast, the Planning Document outlines short- and long-term goals for the Public Art Program that may shift based upon budgets and staffing changes, departmental priorities, guidance from the Denver Commission on Cultural Affairs (DCCA) and other factors.
The Planning Document is a tool for the DOCA public art staff to outline larger programming goals that go beyond basic project management such as outreach and education, program development, maintenance and conservation, grant-making or changes to the rules and regulations of the Public Art Program.
The Planning Document will be discussed and re-drafted every one to two years and will require input and discussion from the Public Art Committee, Denver Commission on Cultural Affairs and the public. The Denver International Airport (DIA) public art staff will draft its own Planning Document (or some substitute) to guide the airport art program goals.
