Funding for this public art project was included in the Adopted Five-Year Capital

As allowed by City of Dublin’s Public Art Master Plan, the City will use a combination of
artist selection methods (Invitational and Pre-Qualified), inviting site-specific design
proposals from a select group of artists. Artists will be chosen for invitation by an ad hoc
Public Art Selection Committee. This committee will reconvene at a later date to
evaluate proposals and recommend a design to the Heritage and Cultural Arts
Commission.
In addition to the City Council representative selected during this meeting, Staff
recommends that the Public Art Selection Committee include:
One representative from the Heritage and Cultural Arts Commission, to be
selected at the April 12 meeting;
