Artists for all public art projects for the City of Santa Monica are selected through a competitive process. Typically, a Request for Qualifications or Proposals is issued describing the project and inviting artists to submit a letter of interest in the project along with documentation of their previous work. These submissions are reviewed by a panel of arts professionals and community members and a group of finalists is assembled. These artist finalists will be interviewed by the selection panel which will choose an artist to be recommended for the project. Panel recommendations are subject to approval by the Santa Monica Arts Commission prior to issuing a contract.
