Program context & project planning
Columbus Art Commission reviews city acquisitions, commissions and gifts, plus art on city property or public rights of way. Applications now go through the city’s online portal. Receiving placement approval does not itself mean the city has offered an artist a paid commission.

Is the proposal seeking placement approval, procurement funding or both?
The commission’s published remit extends to alteration and removal of covered artworks. A delivery agreement should anticipate future changes, including re-siting or treatment that affects the work. The commission page does not assign a project-specific maintenance budget.
