Eligibility and Registration
To be eligible for consideration for Connecticut's public art projects, visual artists must register in the CCT Visual Arts Image Bank. Artists may reside within or outside of Connecticut. With one entry, registered artists are automatically reviewed and considered for every pubic art project in their discipline category.
The Arts Division assures open access to the program for artists registered in the Art in Public Spaces Image Bank. In addition to the standard open selection process, statutory regulations also permit limited competitions and direct selection.
Selection Process
The selection of artists is made by a local site committee, comprised of building users, the project architect and community members, and a panel of arts professionals. This professional jury reviews images on file in a particular discipline category and selects artists based on the quality, aesthetic compatibility and material requirements of the project as represented in the artist's image portfolio. Selected artists are invited to produce a site-specific proposal and paid a stipend. Typically, four to five artists are selected to compete for each project. The site committee and professional arts panel then meet to select the winning design from among the proposals submitted.
