Public Art Program Coordinator Services

The city is seeking public art program coordinator services to support its public art program within the recreation and special events department. The coordinator would serve as staff liaison to the public art committee or a related advisory group and would be responsible for committee and meeting management, including notices, agenda packets, meeting materials, room reservations, public access arrangements, technology coordination, and presentations. Attendance at regular public art committee meetings, including evening meetings when required, is expected.

The scope also includes administrative and financial support for the public art program. Responsibilities include tracking motions, recommendations, project approvals, and follow-up items, as well as assisting with development and monitoring of the public art budget. The coordinator would track expenditures, invoices, donations, sponsorships, grants, and other funding sources, and maintain financial records for assigned public art projects and programs.

In addition, the coordinator would manage approved public art projects and related activities such as temporary and permanent installations, exhibitions, contests, and public art events. The role involves communication with artists, vendors, contractors, property owners, schools, nonprofits, civic organizations, and city staff, along with maintaining maintenance records, public art inventory, signage, documentation, and project closeout materials. Promotional support is also included, such as drafting website content, flyers, newsletters, social media content, and public announcements, subject to city review, while fostering community relationships and encouraging public participation.

The source notes that this opportunity is presented as a job posting rather than a formal RFP.
