Cupertino Public Art Program
General Guidelines for Selecting Public Art
Prepared by the City of Cupertino Fine Arts Commission
Adopted May 28, 2002
Cupertino Public Art Program
General Guidelines for Selecting Public Art
Background
The City desires to acquire art for its permanent collection of sited works, permanent
portable collection, and temporary collections.
The Commission desires to create a visual identity for the City by placing artworks in
various locations. The Commission has in the last year begun to lay the groundwork for
selecting public artworks by drawing up policies and setting clear guidelines and
objectives. The Commission will be proposing a One Percent for Art program as part of
the General Plan update to fund and ensure the City's long-term goal of placing artworks
in the City. The Commission is currently researching potential sites on public lands to
place completed artworks or to commission artworks in the near future.
Guidelines
The following guidelines are meant to assist in the selection of sited works:
Sited works will be appropriate to the location, i.e. be proportionate in size and be
integrated into the environs or architecture.
To ensure excellence in the work's physical embodiment of the principles of design, the
involvement of a peer professional in aesthetic decision-making is desirable.
Sited works may reflect the history and culture of the area.
Various visual media and materials both traditional and non-traditional will be
considered. Durable materials with minimum maintenance requirements and maximum
resistance to vandalism will be required.
An artist will have proven ability and experience in designing, managing and producing
hands-on large-scale integrated artwork. Selection of artists will not be restricted by age,
gender or ethnic background.
Public liability and environmental concerns will be addressed.
The de-accessioning or removal of an artwork will follow legal procedures and protect
both artist and City from liability.
Where public funds are used, the community surrounding the future art may be invited to
participate in helping to select the art and helping to generate community acceptance.
A timeline will be designed to provide adequate time to coordinate and educate parties
involved and to structure the overall plan for a project.
It is desirable to involve the selected artist and/or a public art consultant on a project
design team at the conceptual phase of architectural planning. This will help to fully
integrate art works into building projects, to help to provide developers with a positive
experience and to help to prevent expensive retrofitting later. If an artist has not yet been
selected, the consultant will offer art options and selection procedures. The function of
the consultant will be to foster communication among people with differing backgrounds
(e.g. artist, developer, planner, public works, architect, landscape architect, engineers,
attorney, community), to manage the fabrication/installation processes and to promote
integration of art with the environs. They will also keep the project on track, on time and
on budget.

Charge to the Art on Campus Committee
The Art on Campus Committee was established to implement board policy 3213.11, which states

Philosophy and Mission
In facilitating the acquisition of works of art for the college's permanent collection, the Art on
Campus Committee will pursue a dynamic balance which will ensure the consistent inclusion of art
forms that are presently emerging along with art of traditional si~nifi.canc,e. The co. ~m~i.'ttee is open
to the continual evaluation and revision of its methods and practices momer to maintain a campus
environment which is a receptive, stimulating, and comprehensive record of the visual arts. It will
support the acquisition of works by artists from a diverse a .nyay of e_.conomic .and cult...u~. .

restrictions as to use or future disposition.
Copyright
Works of art acquired through the Art on Campus Committee shall be unique, unless otherwise
specified by the artist prior to acquisition. The District shall effect a "Copyright A~eement" with

copyright. Institutions or individuals interested in reproducing works of art in the collection shall
contact the designated administrator or representative in writing to request reproduction privileges.

documentation of each accessioned work of art to include, but not be limited to, the following
information:
- photograph of the finished work of art
- accession worksheet and condition report
- technical description of the work, provided by the artist
- recommended care and maintenance summary, provided by the artist
- appraisal of work, if available
- identification of location of the work on campus, including date of installation
- record of the purchase price of the work, or an accounting of all expenses accrued in the
case of a commissioned work
- all paperwork generated by the purchase, such as the original proposal, contract,
correspondence, and documentation of a commissioned work.
2. ACCESS _TO WORKS OF ART
Works of art from the collection which are not on view publicly will be made accessible to
students, staff, faculty, qualified scholars, and members of the public, in conjunction with an
acceptable proposal to study a specific work or group of works. Permission to study works of art
in the college collection not on public display will be granted and facilitated by the designated
administrator or representative.
The Art on Campus Committee shall take into considering the following factors when choosing a
site for each work of art:
- facility users and interaction of users with the proposed work
- function of the facility
- relationship of proposed work to existing works within the site vicinity
- visibility/public accessibility
- public safety
- interior and exterior traffic patterns
- relationship of proposed work to existing or future architectural features and/or landscape
design
- future development plans for the area or facility
- integration within overall program goal or concept
- environmental impact.
Methods of Acquisition
Based upon such variables as feasibility, budget allocation, time, project comnlexitv, location, and
function of the facility, one or a combination of the following alternatives wil[be pu~rsued for each
acquisition:
- direct purchase
- direct commission
- limited competition
- proposed gift
- permanent loan
- temporary loan.
An administrator or representative designated by the colleges will deal directly with the artist or
owner. All relationships and financial arrangements between an artist and her or his agent,
representative, or gallery must be undertaken by the artist alone and any payment of commission to
the agent, representative, or gallery is the sole responsibility of the artist.
Commissions
Commissioned artists will be selected on the basis of their qualitieations, as demonstrated by past
work, appropriateness of the proposal to the particular project, and its probability of successful
completion, as determined by the Art on Campus Committee. The selection of an artist for a
project will normally include:
- review of slides
- gallery visits
- studio visits
- viewing of previous work.
A method and schedule of payment to the commissioned artist shall be provided by contractual
agreement with the District. The artist's fee is due and payable by the District when the work is
installed and accepted by the Board of Trustees. However, the District may make interim
payments to the artist against the fee to assist the artist with financing the fabrication and
installation of the work. '
3. DEACCESSION OF WORKS OF ART
Works of art which are ihe property of the District may be deaccessioned only according to State
Policy (see Education Code # ), and only for the specific purpose of benefitting
the collection, as deemed appropriate by the Art on Campus Committee.
The Art on Campus Committee will facilitate the deaccession of works of art only when, in their
best understanding, no earlier restriction or limitation exists which might prevent the deaccession.
~Funds received from the public sale of works of art from the collection will be used only to benefit
the collection. Proceeds from the deaccession will be directed back to the purchase of works of art
for the collection or to the conservation of objects in the collection.
There will be no private sale of works of art in the collection to Art on Campus Committee
members or to District employees, relatives, or their representatives. No part of the collection will
be removed for ~fts.
4. LOANS OF WORKS OFART FROM THE COLLECTION
Borrowers requesting loans of works of art from the collection must make a request in writing
stating the puxpose and duration of the loan to the designated administrator or representative, who
may seek a loan recommendation from informed members of the Art on Campus Committee.
The colleges may loan objects to institutions and individuals that are deemed responsible and that
have purposes in keeping with Board policy. The following will be taken into consideration before
a loan will be facilitated:
- fis. k involved in exhibition and transportation
- prior plans for the object in another loan or for exhibition or study
- adequate verification of proper insurance and maintenance of facilities.
A loan may be recalled at any time should its safety be endangered. The Art on Campus Committee
further reserves the fight to request the work of art be returned on reasonable notice, although the
loan period is not terminated. No extension of the loan will be granted without the written consent
of the Art on Campus Committee.
Loans of works of art will be insured by the borrower subject to the conditions imposed by the
conLracL
5. LOANS OF WORKS OF ART TO THE COLLECTION
The Art on Campus Committee will ensure that the college will exercise the same care for works of
art loaned to the college as it does for works of ar~ in the permanent collection.
