Public Art Condition Assessment
The City of Alexandria Office of the Arts hired EverGreene Architectural Arts to evaluate the City's public art collection. The works of art include sculptures, murals, plaques, fountains, gardens/landscapes, community art projects, and other objects, including historic works. This assessment builds upon the 2013 assessment in accordance with the approved Public Art Implementation Plan and Policy.
The most recent evaluation was conducted between November 12 and December 12, 2018. All works were assessed from ground level without additional access (scaffolding, man-lift, etc.). The report was received in February, 2019 and shared with the Alexandria Commission for the Arts.
The report outlines the current condition of each work and includes photos documenting the condition, a condition description, condition determination (excellent, good, fair, poor, deteriorated), treatment recommendations, and the overall priority for treatment within the collection (low, medium, high) for each artwork.
The Office of the Arts will use the conservation assessment to develop a multi-year public art maintenance plan and budget. Updates and/or changes to the maintenance plan will be shared with the Alexandria Commission for the Arts and the Public Art Committee.
