Basis of Design Book 2 - City of St. Petersburg

Article IV Section 5-81. Purpose and Intent
A. The donation of works of art to the City of St. Petersburg is encouraged. The acceptance
of donations of art by the City and the placement of art on City property
carries certain responsibilities. Some of the issues to be considered include
appropriateness of the work as public art, historical relevance or relationship to
City, feasibility of installation, safety, durability, maintenance, and an appropriate
public site.
B. The City of St. Petersburg’s Art Advisory Committee advises the Mayor and City
Council concerning public art proposed for acquisition by the City for installation
on City property excluding public art reviewed by the City of St. Petersburg’s
Public Art Commission. The Committee also advises the Mayor and City Council
on proposals that are deemed constructive toward the preservation and improvement
of the physical beauty of the City.
C. The purpose of the Article is to provide guidelines for the acceptance of donations
and to provide a process for such review to insure that art which the City
accepts is appropriate for the City and is initially located at an appropriate City
location.
