Origin
Summary
This report recommends that City Council adopt an updated policy for accepting donations of public art and commemorative monuments - the Public Art and Monuments Donation Policy. This policy would replace the existing Official Gifts and Donations Policy, and includes comprehensive technical and aesthetic criteria to evaluate proposed donations and a clear process for submission, evaluation and approval. The updated Public Art and Monuments Donation Policy will help to ensure all works donated to the City of Toronto demonstrate a clear relationship to the City and reflect the diversity of its local public spaces.
