PROJECT

Places Program is creating a list of approved artists who can work as Design Consultants for city projects that may or may not
have an independent art budget. Design consultants selected from the resource list will work with project architects, engineers
and managers to designate artful opportunities within the project or develop a concept with the team, for a term of two years.
This approach requires collaboration, creativity, and flexibility as well as an open mind. The department, design team and APP
board will determine the extent of the design consultant's involvement on a project. The design consultant will be paid a fee of
$50 an hour for the design phase or commissioned to create a piece of artwork for the site.
