Full source-scope note
Use this official City public-art Annual Work Plan page for source-stated 2025/2026 plan context only: the Council's August 20, 2025 adoption of the Public Art Commission's plan, the three plan categories (new art solicitation, art education, and deaccessioning consideration), the listed proposed items with their source-listed scopes, budgets, themes, and anticipated call-for-artists timing, and the artworks listed under deaccessioning consideration. Do not treat proposed scopes, budgets, or timing as final, funded, awarded, contracted, or currently open; do not treat the deaccessioning section as a decision to remove or deaccession any named artwork; and check current Public Art Commission and City Council records, approved minutes, contracts, grant and project records, and artwork-specific maintenance records before relying on current implementation, funding, artist selection, schedule, or deaccessioning outcomes.
