• Recommends which works of art are suitable for such acquisition and display by utilizing recognized criteria and standards
• Recommends appropriate sites for the display of such art, taking into consideration such factors as availability of the site, visibility of the site, impact on property and persons in the near vicinity of the site, requisite approval by appropriate government agencies and other similar factors
• Promotes the acquisition, maintenance, and upkeep of works of art on sites within the city through contributions of specific art or funds to acquire and maintain the same
• Encourages community input and patronage by establishment of support/booster groups such as, but not limited to, a "friends of the arts" organization
