The City of Saginaw desires policies and procedures to encourage the display of public visual art within the City and to provide a mechanism for the inclusion of public art through the city in specific parks and outdoor public open spaces.

The purpose of this policy is to establish a Saginaw Art in the Community Program through which the City of Saginaw can acquire and accept artwork by commission, on loan or as a gift. This policy establishes the goals and objectives of the City’s Saginaw Art in the Community Program and provides guidelines for acquiring existing artwork, commissioning artists to create new artwork for the City and sponsoring temporary art exhibits on City property. The policy applies to the acquisition and exhibition of all artwork loaned, donated to, purchased by, or commissioned by the City of Saginaw.
