Program context & project planning

How the program works

Community planning continues through design approval

Fort Worth’s public-art process uses a Project Core Team of community stakeholders to help with planning, artist selection, design communication and stewardship. The documented sequence establishes the site and funding before selection, then develops preliminary and final designs before fabrication. Final design includes materials, location, installation and a detailed budget. This staged approach gives a buyer several points to resolve concerns while changes remain manageable. An artist’s production schedule should therefore include review time and the required contracting milestones.
