Appendix: Elk River Public Arts 90 <br />Choosing Public Art <br />Selecting art by committee has advantages and drawbacks. Art can be an iterative practice that benefits from <br />the critiquing process in which outside opinions help the artist refine and improve her or his work. Without <br />some oversight there is also the potential for art that is unsuitable for a community. <br />Using a public art selection committee can protect the city as well as the integrity of the public art program <br />provided the committee consists of well-informed members with a wide range of expertise and experience <br />in public art. The committee should be made up of representatives from the public art groups, organizations <br />working in the community, artists living and working in Elk River, Parks and Recreation Commission <br />members, and other stakeholders. <br />Public Art Programs <br />As communities grow their public art programs, it is better to move slowly and learn from experience than to <br />take on too much to start. The intent of this plan is to provide the city with options for supporting public art <br />and methods for developing public art at an appropriate speed. <br />Types of Public Art <br />Locations for Public Art <br />SIDEWALKMONUMENTSARCHITECTUREWALLSPAVINGSCULPTUREPERFORMANCES“ <br />POP- <br />UP” <br />GALLERIESWATER
