Please note the following City of Mill Valley guidelines for hanging art work in city buildings:
…..”the selection of art for display in public buildings must be based on artistic merit, rather than the content of the artistic message being conveyed.” …… “City buildings are primarily places of employment and where public business is conducted and secondarily serve as a limited public forum for the display of art. Although the City encourages artistic expression, the City also wishes to ensure that City buildings are places where citizens, employees, and visitors of various ages and diverse views feel welcome and comfortable.”
