By engaging in this comprehensive inventory, assessment, and documentation, DCASE aims to further its commitment to the long-term care of public art in Chicago. The City of Chicago is home to one of the most dynamic and diverse public art collections in the United States, showcasing the city’s commitment to fostering creativity, engaging the public, and enriching its urban landscape. The Chicago Public Art Collection, which DCASE maintains, includes nearly 700 works of art exhibited in 143 municipal facilities around the city, such as airports, libraries, police stations, and parks. The Collection provides the citizens and guests of Chicago with an improved public environment and enhances City buildings and spaces with works by professional artists. These consultant services are part of the larger Chicago Monuments Project initiative, funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, to address the City's collection of monuments and memorials, ensuring responsible stewardship and providing greater access for public engagement and education. Consultants responding to this RFP will play a critical role in preserving and promoting the city’s artistic heritage while ensuring that the collection remains both accessible and appreciated by the public.
