Public Art in Transition (Oct 2025)
Using a case study approach, explore the legal and contractual issues that arise when public art is deaccessioned – removed, relocated, or destroyed. Through real-world examples, this session examines what rights artists have in these situations, what responsibilities commissioners hold, and how to protect artistic intent through contract terms. And examine reversion clauses, ownership considerations, and key provisions in public art agreements, along with federal protections under the Visual Artists Rights Act (VARA).
