The City of Green Bay Public Arts Commission met on October 28, 2026. Its main discussion concerned whether to establish guidelines for AI use in public-art submissions, including proposals submitted through RFPs or RFQs. Members discussed disclosure requirements, copyright and authorship standards, possible restrictions on AI-generated work, and the challenge of distinguishing generative AI from AI-assisted tools. The discussion emphasized protecting artists and the commission’s reputation while aligning with the city’s developing AI guidance. A motion was proposed to refer policy development to staff and conduct a 30-day survey, with results and further work to return to the commission in January; the transcript does not capture a vote on that motion. No contract awards, bid approvals, or specific procurement amounts were identified.

The coordinator reported on public-art installations and program activities, including four new bases, artwork at Crystal McCulla Park and Fountain Street, and ongoing improvements at the Path for Pause site, including landscaping, a bronze work, and a sidewalk mural. The commission also discussed a sponsored Art Garage show, “Everybody Eats,” and the possibility of adding a food donation component; no sponsorship amount or related purchasing decision was stated.
