Launch of National Guidelines for the Per Cent for Art Scheme
On the 7th December 2004 the Minister for Arts, Sports and Tourism, John O’Donoghue formally launched the first set of national guidelines for the Per Cent for Art Scheme. These guidelines aim to set out basic operational procedures for Government Departments, public bodies and Local authorities who are implementing the scheme. They offer baseline advice for the commissioning of art in the contexts of capital construction projects and set out important guiding principles in the process such as the need for time to support dialogue between the three core partners in a public art commissioning - the artist, the commissioner and the public. The development and publication of the guidelines by the Department of Arts, Sports and Tourism is seen as the initial step towards the development of a national approach to public art for Ireland.
