Public Arts Commission members reported they are working on photos for a public art spreadsheet and expressed interest in securing grant funds for creation and maintenance of a database and labeling of public art. They also referenced prior work on labels for the Zachmann sculptures at the splash pad and the need to contact Sculpture Walk staff for more information, indicating that not all labels or cataloging are complete. This shows that Fergus Falls is in the early planning stages of a more formal asset management and public-facing catalog for its art collection, likely including software, data structure, and physical labels or signage.No vendor, platform, or grant has yet been secured, making this an open opportunity for firms offering collections management systems, public art databases, QR-enabled labels, and related consulting or grant-writing services. A useful next conversation would explore scalable options for cataloging, label production, and digital access that can be supported by anticipated grant funding.

Commission members are currently compiling photos and a spreadsheet, but are seeking grants to move toward a more robust database and labeling solution.
