The City of Charlottesville, through the City Manager's Office, is soliciting qualified consultants via RFP 27-27 to establish a centralized arts and culture infrastructure. The project consists of two primary objectives: the creation of a formal Public Art Program, including the recruitment and seating of a volunteer Public Art Commission to oversee a new Public Art Master Plan, and the establishment of an independent 501(c)(3) Arts Council based on the 2025-2026 Charlottesville Area Arts Council Feasibility Study. The selected consultant will be responsible for developing all necessary governance documents, including articles of incorporation, by-laws, and strategic plans, as well as drafting the contractual agreements that define the relationship between the City, the Arts Council, and the Public Art Program. Proposals are due by September 21, 2026, and will be evaluated based on specific methodology (40%), qualifications and experience (40%), and price (20%). The City requires consultants to have proven experience in municipal government, nonprofit establishment, and community engagement. Awarded contractors must adhere to strict insurance requirements, including commercial general liability and professional liability coverage, and ensure all deliverables are ADA-compliant. Payment is processed within 45 days of invoice receipt, and the selection process follows the Virginia Public Procurement Act for non-professional services.

Full Description

Show more
Public Arts Commission The City of Charlottesville has a long history of investing in public art, which is manifest across the City in art pieces displayed in public spaces. In the past, the City has entrusted management of this public art collection to outside entities. Following the dissolution of the last of these entities several years ago, there has been no management of the collection. City Council has indicated that public art remains a priority for the City and have decided to make control and management of the public art collection/program a City responsibility, overseen by a Public Art Commission. In the future, this commission would oversee the creation and implementation of a public art master plan. Arts Council Charlottesville, Albemarle, and the surrounding counties have a robust arts and culture sector but lack a centralized, coordinated structure to support its creative communities. From 2025-2026, the Charlottesville community participated in a collaborative planning process rooted in the belief that sustainable arts infrastructure should be shaped by the community it serves, ensuring that Charlottesville's artists and arts and culture sector have the resources needed to thrive. The City supports this effort to develop an independent arts council and anticipates partnering with this art council in support of strengthening the arts and culture sector.
