Who chooses what gets to be on display?
The MAP’s appointed Curator reviews information regarding each new proposal for public art to determine if an Artist Selection Panel is needed and nominates individuals for that panel to MAP for approval. The Curator or Artist Selection Panel reviews art proposals and submits recommendations for selection or rejection to the MAP, which considers final artist selection and provides recommendations to Pine Lake City Council for final approval.
