Each year, the Public Art Program adopts an Annual Workplan. The Workplan outlines which new projects the program will initiate, indicating where the projects are located, and what the proposed budgets will be.

The Workplan takes a multiyear view, in that it indicates which projects are being carried over from previous year, and identifies three years into the future what goals and projects should be considered, even though future-year projections are subject to change. 

The Workplan is prepared by staff in collaboration with a Workplan Task Force, reviewed by the Commission for the Arts, and approved by City Council as part of the budget process. The process of developing, approving and implementing the Workplan is analogous to basic approach to approving and implementing other components of the City’s Capital Improvement Program.
