Program context & project planning
How the program works
A pooled capital-program model
Wichita describes its percent-for-art program as a two-percent allocation approved in December 2019, supporting selection, creation and maintenance through the capital improvement program. An eleven-member Design Council participates in oversight. The relevant opportunity therefore depends on the city's actual project schedule and selection process.
Which capital project and selection timetable would support this commission?
Restoration is part of the program's history
The city lists the Evergreen Recreation Center mural by Cody Handlin and Ryan Drake as a 1995 work restored in 2020. That record demonstrates a continuing-care role beyond commissioning new objects, making original materials and treatment history useful information for a conservation proposal.
Are original specifications and previous restoration records available?
Registry inclusion does not replace due diligence
Wichita's public artist registry is a discovery route, not city endorsement or a promise of work. The city states that users seeking services remain responsible for contacting artists, evaluating qualifications and arranging contracts. A strong listing should therefore connect portfolio evidence to a clearly defined scope.
