(d) Open competition. In consultation with the director of a partner agency, staff may elect to manage an open competition for artists to be considered for the commissioning of a new work(s) of art or for curators to recommend existing works of art through a curated purchase. The open competition process is managed pursuant to WAC 30-12-017 (Applications) and 30-12-030 (Panels) unless otherwise noted in this subsection.

(i) A partner agency art selection committee may act as the panel for the application review process.
