Any conservation, restoration, repair, alteration, replication, removal, or relocation of any City-owned artwork must be submitted to the Public Design Commission for preliminary review and approval before the work begins. All projects are reviewed by the Commission's Conservation Advisory Group (CAG), a team of conservators and art historians who advise the Commission. Checklists should be used to ensure that submissions are complete and included with submission packages.
Before preparing a submission, please review the PDC checklists and supplemental instructions documents. For reference, the PDC also provides a searchable sample presentations collection that includes submission documents for a limited number of previously reviewed and approved projects. Please refer to the checklist and instructions provided below to ensure that submissions are complete, and include the completed checklist with submission packages.
