Subject: budget allocations for art

budget allocations

funded buildings.

construction and

art. I have

might be able to

assistance would

One of my past jobs was as a visual arts clerk for the City of Ottawa. Our
office supervised the running of competitions/judging/selection of art for
public spaces in new City buildings, as well as building a collection of art
for use in City offices. Prior to the amalgamation of the cities of Ottawa,
Nepean, Gloucester, Vanier, Rockcliffe etc this program was managed
originaly by the city archives under the city clerks offices, but then I
believe by the parks and recreation offices of the City of Ottawa. Under the
new city I do not know - but check out the attached link

&NS-collection=English&NS-docs-found=53&NS-doc-number=1  you could also try
this e-mail (I do not know if it still valid)

Ottawa's web page at http://city.ottawa.on.ca/index_en.html I hope that this
helps.
