This proposal reflects artwork that is inspired and guided by the City's Cultural Development Program Guidelines. In considering the values and goals of the City's art program, we feel that we have two public art concepts that will benefit the community through their inclusion on this campus. As a community of artists and creators, we value and honor the creative process and the rights of fellow artists and creators. KBAA, like all artists, creators and businesses, in general, finds inspiration from the creations of others; but we do not in any way copy or appropriate the creative expressions of others. Therefore, the use of an artist's or creator's work in KBAA's, or our client's, presentations is for the purpose of inspiration only, unless rights for usage have been obtained.
