|
| |
| The application is mandatory for public art on public land and right of way in the City of Syracuse.
| |
| Murals on all properties that are not 1, 2, 3 ,4 family residential units must also go through the

|
| '''2) The Public Art Coordinator'''<br>
| |

| |
| appointed by the Mayor, and must be a current City employee. The Coordinator will serve as the

| |
| will update the public art inventory, and will guide the creation of a Public Art Master Plan. He/she
| |
| will encourage public art in the community and assist in the development of opportunities for
| |
| continued initiatives.
| |
|
| |

| |
| Art Coordinator. The eleven (11) voting members of the Commission shall consist of four (4) artists
| |
| from the field of design, visual arts, architecture or landscape architecture, four (4) members of the

| |
| that will outline guidelines that take into consideration: public safety, maintenance, insurance,
| |
| acceptability pertaining to sensitivity to all age groups and ethnicities, compatibility with the specific site (i.e. historic and neighborhood context, current and future streetscape plans etc), and the avoidance of advertising/signage.
