Privately Developed Public Art

The City of Redmond is considering amending the zoning code to provide more clarity about when and how the City should review public art projects proposed by a developer. An interim process is being used currently. In the meantime, staff members are evaluating the interim process, continuing to research other arts agencies' approaches to privately developed public art, and seeking input from the public.

Please review the video prior to taking this survey, which will provide more context.

Thank you for participating! If you wish to speak to staff about this effort, please contact Carolyn Hope, Park Planning & Cultural Arts Manager at cjhope@redmond.gov or 425.556.2313.

Question Title

* 7. For the private art incentive program, developers may choose to pay a fee in-lieu of commissioning the art project. Some projects may contribute up to $1 million. Currently, these funds would be deposited into the Arts Activity Fund, which is used for public art commissions and public art programs for the community, including grants to local artists and cultural arts organizations. However, the City could allocate funds to other arts related uses as well. Which of the following ideas would you support? Please allocate a percentage to each idea you are interested in funding (ranging from 0% to 100%).
