Dublin City Council has adopted three policy documents relating to the management of public art in Dublin.
Policies and Strategies for Managing Public Art sets out approaches to the management and commissioning of public art, and procedures for submitting proposals for permanent art.
The Policy for Decommissioning of Public Art sets out procedures for temporary removal, relocation or permanent decommissioning of public art in the care or ownership of Dublin City Council.
The Commemorative Naming of Infrastructure and the Provision of Monuments, Memorials and Plaques policy establishes the process by which Dublin City Council will consider the commemoration of events or individuals deemed to have shaped the city.
The Arts Office proposes that, for practical reasons, projects to which the policy now applies be divided between those produced by Dublin City Council, at The LAB, The Hugh Lane, and Libraries, for example; and those funded by Dublin City Council within Arts Grants, Event Funding, and Literary Programmes.
The Arts Office proposes to issue guidelines to grant recipients, while providing support by request. The Arts Office will also report on compliance within a sample of applications each year to fulfil its obligations to oversight.
